Join me on the Retro Lounge as I play memories from the musicians we lost so far this year like iconic bass player with ZZ Top, Dusty Hill, along with Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, members of The Four Seasons, rockers Cinderella, the Temptations, War, Judas Priest and the Bay City Rollers; classic B.J. Thomas, Jim Steinman and classics he created for Meat Loaf, Air Supply and Bonnie Tyler; Phil Spector and classics he produced for the Beatles; the actress and model who elevated Whitesnake’s popularity, also a look at big losses last year like the great Neil Peart, paid tribute to by fellow drummer Taylor Hawkins; double band members from Poco and Kool & the Gang; I remember some big actors gone, including Ed Asner with his unforgettable role as Lou Grant and more.
The Retro Lounge is brought to you by Backstage, Thunder Bay’s newest music and accessory store at 215 Red River Road, Sunday night at 6 on 99.9 The Bay.
