Question: Would Jerry Allison, drummer of buddy holly and the crickets, someone that can be put onto the list?

[Joey Russ 7,229]

Also think guitarist Robbie Kreiger and Robert Fripp, who aren't unknowns, should be added.

Question: Would Jerry Allison, drummer of buddy holly and the crickets, someone that can be put onto the list?

Doesn't seem relevant enough. The only thing relevant about him is that he's the last living member of The Crickets. Nothing special but I can add him.

 

Also think guitarist Robbie Kreiger and Robert Fripp, who aren't unknowns, should be added.

Consider it done. You can always name other people I forgot to add. But they have to be at least a bit relevant.

[Joey Russ 7,229]

I have one more person who is definitely well, as he was the drummer of what is often considered the first supergroup, Cream: His name is Ginger Baker

[Lewd_Squirrel 331]

Della Reese was born in 1931, and just turned 85. She's a singer, too, not just an actor.

[maryportfuncity 10,657]

Also think guitarist Robbie Kreiger and Robert Fripp, who aren't unknowns, should be added.

 

 

What's wrong with Fripp that'd make him such an obvious contender?

Forget about Fripp. What's wrong with Krieger?

Nowt as far as I can see from Wiki

 

Dug down far enough to see on The Doors' discography that An American Prayer has gone platinum in the US (1 million sales)

 

That's life affirming IMHO

[Joey Russ 7,229]

If you included John Cale and Maureen Tucker of the Velvet Underground, that would be appreciated

[CaptainChorizo 1,985]

No Ennio Morricone?

 

Now that is a huge omission

[ImNotHades 207]

Done

[Joey Russ 7,229]

And for the next to go for music's oldest, it's none other than Leonard Cohen

[ImNotHades 207]

He was dead a few times before and had a similar background like Liz Taylor so we all saw it coming but still sad.....RIP

Robert Fripp ain't going anywhere yet, except touring the world with King Crimson as he is currently doing...

 

If you're looking for older musicians, the members of German krautrock group Can are pretty old: Irmin Schmidt for 1937, Holger Czukay for 1938 and Jaki Liebezeit for 1939, although none of them would be household names by any stretch of the imagination.

 

Also Grace Slick should be on for 1939. And Robert Wyatt for 1945. And Jon Anderson for 1944. And countless others.

 

(And, Andy Summers of The Police for 1942).

Not far wrong looking at the unfinished script

 

You might be spot on if you can name one Blowfly track I can play all the way through on radio!

 

Oh aye, and - since we don't exactly like The Eagles on our show - we might pay "tribute" to Frey by spinning The Greeks Don't Want no Freaks

I take it you're not familiar with the work of Madness or The Specials then.

Speaking for myself, my friend's older brother had the single 'Al Capone' and we used to dance to it as tiny tots.
