It seems a bit that there are several big stars of the 80's that have been gone forever now, in addition to late Michael Jackson I can recall at least Laura Branigan, Robert Palmer, Jermaine Stewart, Luther Vandross and Michael Hutchence of INXS to mention a few.

I thought of another singer who was popular in the 80's:Dan Hartman-He had a big hit called "I Can Dream About You" in 1984.

I didn't know that he has not been with us anymore. But remember his Top10 smash very well.

You also forgot to mention Kurt Cobain who died in 1994. Kurt doesn't fit here; he didn't hit until the 1990s. |
