As you can guess I was born after he was big, but I remember hearing about his death and being like “I…. THINK I know that name, wasn’t he on spongebob once or something?” I remember a teacher of mine playing his music soon afterwards and I didn’t recognize ANY of it, and didn’t know it was him until she pointed it out.

I’m only thinking about it because I was just watching a video about The Beatles discography and am about to watch a video from the same channel about David Bowie and I kinda realized how little I know about him. I did see a video of him covering John Lennon’s Imagine, which I really liked, but that’s about it.

      Next time, remember that we alls would like to hear your talent on CB radio channel 19. Just click the button on the mike. Folks at the watering hole won’t mind. They all’s are listening to 50s music piped in thru Pandora anyway.

    I knew who he was and knew a few of his songs alright, but when he died I was surprised to learn how popular and influential he was.

    The younger generation is always ignorant of the older generation’s great artists. I know that for me it was a great awakening to hear the fantastic music of the 40’s, Glen Miller, Benny Goodman, with all the great singers like Jo Stafford and Ella Fitzgerald.

    Wow. I thought he died back in the 70's. Go figure, huh.
