Help with Dead Music Icons

[G.T.]

Hello,

I'm working on my new album and I need some help on my intro. It's going to be a short 5-second clip (each) of when music icons passed away, from the news stories. (audio).

I can only think of:

Kurt Cobain
Michael Jackson
Notorious B.I.G.
Tu-Pac
Elvis (if I can find clips that old).


Please add to them list, I'd like to have roughly 15. Also, please ensure you're only adding "huge" names, not "iffy" names, in-terms of popularity.

Thanks!!

And yet this thread isn't about someone's music likes and dislikes, it's about dead music icons, eh?

 

[G.T.]

yea no personal opinions please. I'll pick and choose.

Updated request though: it's hard to find some of these. if you have links to the news reports reporting the breaking stories of their deaths, that'd be greatly appreciated.

i've got hendrix, cobain, tupac, elvis, m. jackson, lennon..........but couldn't find biggie smalls, janis joplin, holly & valens, jim morrison...or others. links to downloads will be greatly appreciated.

the end product is worth the trouble, i promise!!
