Ah, the superior outsider. How original.

Man, that horn section makes me want to leave work and go hang out at a honkey-tonk.

And it isn't as if this is a recent phenomenon: Mozart only 35; Schubert, 31; Schumann was still relatively young and could have produced so much more when he died at 46; I've outlived Beethoven's age; Chopin at 39; Gershwin at 38; Mendelssohn also 38; von Weber at 39; Bizet, 36; Paul Chambers (jazz bassist) at 33; Fats Navarro (jazz tumpet) 26; Charlie Christian, 25; Clifford Brown (jazz trumpet) at 25; Jaco Pastorius at 35; Charlie Parker at 34. I've also outlived Paganini who died at 58. Bach is one standout exception as he lived to be 65 and produced not only a ton of fantastic music but also offspring who also produced lots of great music. So, it's not just a rock 'n roll/drug phenomenon. Thanks for the mention of someone who died just as I was learning about him and following him in publications like Downbeat magazine. Maybe the first "tragic" loss that I felt as a younger person. Being a (mediocre) tuba player, I marveled at bass players of every kind (classic doubles, slapping stand-ups, Sting, Jaco, the jass bassist in the high school jazz band)...I envied all of them! I think this is a testament to his talent... You can just make out the crowd moving their heads to his playing! |

Sing it Otis! He was only 26??? Wow! I had a date to go see him the night he died, flying out of Cleveland, with the Bar-Kays, but I canceled the date before the show and missed the last chance to see him  |

Died at 26 - THAT'S the voice of a young man. He should be in the heartbreakingly tragic 27 club regardless.

Great observation - I never dreamed that one day we would have the internet and RP to set things right. |
