Dead Page: Rock and Roll Musicians Who Died in 2010-- Part 4

Continuing with Bob Stroud's Rock and Roll Roots from Jan. 2, 2011, "Gone But Not Forgotten."


BOBBY HEBB--One big hit but what a big one, "Sunny". Became a standard very quickly.


SOLOMON BURKE-- R&B legend, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer. Charted a number of R&B and Pop hits in the 1960s, but never attained the commercial success of his peers like Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett. was a gifted singer and songwriter. The Rolling Stones were big fans and covered his "Everybody needs Somebody to Love."


DOUG FIEGER-- Lead singer and guitarist and primary songwriter of the KNACK. Power pop at its best. Stroud closed his show with their "Good Girls Don't" and "My Sharona."

Oops, Bob forgot General Norman Johnson of the Showmen who did the classic "It Will Stand" and later fronted the Chairman of the Board with their great "Give me Just a Little More Time."
