Blue Moon Playlist Review Club - Season 2 - Episode 27 - Out on blue 6 - Gone Too Soon (pg 438)

I've already done an obvious one so I can't do Otis Redding but I will say had he lived there was nothing he couldn't have done and he would definitely have evolved. For my money, along with Holly, the biggest early loss in popular music.

Anyway I'll stick with soul and maybe a lesser known light. Had Shorty Long not died at 28, Motown would as a bare minimum have had another string to it's bow but possibly a whole lot more.

Shorty Long - Here Comes The Judge

Sam cooke - A change is gonna come.

We have to include Stevie and the song that I won't forget listening to near endlessly after his loss in a Wisconsin plane crash in 1990. That was the same week I left the midwest to return to my east coast roots. Mourning with friends and one who was a guitarist who took his loss particularly hard is a time I'll always remember.

"The Sky Is Crying - 1985 Version" - Stevie Ray Vaughan

One of the first albums I nominated on the album thread was Sunhouse’ ‘Crazy on the Weekend’ The lead singer and songwriter was Gavin Clark a big mate of the film producer Sean Meadows, he appeared on the soundtrack of most of his films.
In particular his bands Clayhill version of The Smiths ‘Please,Please,Please let me Get What I Want’ on the This is England’ soundtrack is heart rendering ,especially given his background and untimely death.

‘Never Seen the Sea’ Gavin Clark

I wondered if you'd nominate him, I've said it before but whenever 'Hard Sun' comes up on autoplay I find it very moving.

Mouth full of cavities - Blind Melon
(2001 digital remaster, preferably)

Liked them back in the day. Shannon Hoon died of an oversose on tour, aged 28, in 1995.

Waiting to see if anyone puts Mozart forward.

Was contemplating them/him too but was going to go for something off the first album.

I considered No Rain. But given the tone, went off their final album

Not sure how young 35 was in the 18th century?

Now George Gershwin at 38 in the 20th century, that was a shocker.
