Many of my thoughts are already listed, but I don't think I saw Angela Landsbury, so I'll add her. I think she's 91, now.

Tom Brokow. He has always exuded such dignity and class. I've always trusted him. I admire his intelligence and work ethic. edited to add David Cassidy and Donny Osmond. I will truly be devasted with either of those losses. My first loves  |

Kirk Douglas! He just turned 100 and hasn't done anything (understandably) for a long time, but he's one of the last from the golden era.

Right. I forgot about Dolly. That would be a huge loss. |

Billy Graham. He's not a celebrity in the sane sense as the others listed here, but he is well known world-wide.

I just thought of another one who sadly probably won't be with us much longer: Glen Campbell. I LOVED him as a child. I would put on mum's Glen Campbell record and sing Galveston into my hairbrush. Mum and dad took me to see him in concert when I was 7yo, in 1974. I still have him on my iPod. I was going to buy tickets to see him when he was going to tour Australia about 4 years ago, but then his health declined and the tour was cancelled. I would have loved to have seen him nearly 40 years after the first time I saw him. |

This is mine. I've been listening to his music since I was born (dad always had him playing for as long as I can remember). Then as a tween/teen, I was listening to his music on my own cassette tapes. Now, as an adult, I keep telling myself that I need to go see him in concert, even just once. But I just haven't yet. |

At the time, they said he'd return to tour after Christmas until March 2012 but he was doing well so they continued until November 2012 instead. Galveston, By the Time I get to Phoenix and Little Green Apples were some of the first songs I taught myself on the piano after we moved and I didn't get more piano lessons other than from my mother. |

I have to add to my initial entry and back up all the peas who have bubble-wrapped Billy Joel; if we lose him, who is going to take over singing "we didn't start the fire...." given the news this year/ week/ yesterday?

The top of my list is Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.
And then I'd add in any of the 1960's bands. I love that period of music and will be sad to see any of them go. And shoot, I might as well say the 1950's rock stars--Don Everly, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Dion.
