The Death of an Artist

Good question......probably Luther Vandross Aretha Franklin Micheal Jackson Janet Jackson Stevie Wonder All of those artists would be greatly missed if they passed on because they contributed to so much of what is music now....

#1 would definately stevie wonder. also some of the others you all already said...

I pretty much agree to what everyone else has said. But, believe it or not, I think Whitney Houston's death would have a great impact on fans, because I assume that millions of people still love her, and her music touched so many people's lives. So that's why I say Whitney Houston.

I think the people that have the largest impact on the most people. I can remember not really caring that Tupac died because I had never really listened to his music. It's not until he died that I started to see what his music was about beyond the East vs. West thing. I think that the artist that would cause the biggest stir if and when they die would be: 1. Stevie Wonder 2. 50 Cent 3. Eminem BTW, these are in no particular order. These artists are ones that people know and you don't see any of them doing "out of character" activities (like Whitney with the...ummm, crack)

I say Micheal Jackson....Yeah he's a lil odd but the black Jacko was mad cool. Everyone young and old loved at least one song.
