This week's nominations are a pair of tributes to 2 great artists who passed away untimely, both in the past 3 months.

The first is a classic love song from one of my all-time favorite singer-songwriters, who passed away last December:

Longer-Dan Fogelberg (1979)

The second nomination is another beautiful song from a talented singer-guitarist with big following on this site, who sadly died a couple of weeks ago:

Angel Eyes-Jeff Healey Band (1989)

I promise, next week, to have some nominations of a more light-hearted nature; but I feel these 2 special artists deserve their due as they cross over into "rock and roll heaven".

So do most people of mine and your generations, Laurie. :)

Great Artists, but sadly they're probably best remembered for their novelty song 'Puff The Magic Dragon' (I like it too) rather than their great Folk/Pop Songs. Their version of Bob's 'Don't Think Twice, It's Alright' is my favorite Dylan cover.

If I could find a Melanie 'Greatest Hits' CD I'd buy it. Although she's mainly known for Brand New Key and Candles In The Rain, she's had so many other great songs. A bit like Joan Baez; they just don't get the Airplay they deserve here in Australia.

:P

Gee, I last nominated Brand New Key on Mother's Day. May 2007 !

I got lucky and found the two above mentioned albums when I was in my twentys. She was very underrated. I love Stone Ground Words and As I see It Now. All the songs on those albums are wonderful but I bet most of her music is pretty much unknown. How sad huh.

I have nominated Diamonds and Rust twice in the ten I think and it has not done well at all. Maybe two votes? I am not a huge fan of her's but there are a couple of her songs I like quite a lot. Love Is Just A four Letter Word is another of my favorites.
