What Artist passing affected you the most

John Lennon. He was a major part of my early life development. I was 24 when he was killed, and I always felt that MDC stole not only Lennon's life, but also an important piece of my future. I still cry when I hear Happy Xmas (Was is Over).
 
Keith Emerson.
He presented a combination of musical styles and the ability to play them, IMO , unmatched by any modern musician. His quoting , composing and writing opened the doors musically for classical music for those not quite ready for it .
 
I remember when Elvis died. I was in jr.high at the time. He wasn't cool at the time to me but he had such an impact on so many peoples lives that I understood the enormity of it.
David Bowie's passing affected me the most though.
Michael Jacksons death surprised me the most.

I didn't get this news as it happened but reading recently about her capture and murder by the Khmer Rouge affected me more than what I typically experience when learning that some septuagenarian rock guy passed away. Her death was literally part of the death of an entire culture.

The film "Don't Think I've Forgotten" may be interesting to you. Very well done, but of course, quite emotional.

I was 10 when Elvis died, and my family had just moved from SE South Dakota to NE Tennessee. We were in a temporary apartment for the summer, before my parents bought a house.

In the next apartment over, with a shared wall, was a lady who spent a week wailing at all hours of the day and night after Elvis died. It was one of several culture-shock experiences from that year.

The summer of 1977 was very memorable. I was six days away from seeing him again.

Honestly...... none of them. Ditto with movie stars and other celebrities. If I don't know them personally, then it doesn't affect me.
