Silenced: Musical Artists We Really Miss

Whether it's meant literally or figuratively, there are a variety of ways a singer or musical performer can be "silenced." Examples of literal silencing include due to death (Donna Summer, Kurt Cobain, Bowie, Prince) or due to living with serious illness (Linda Ronstadt, Edwin Collins). Examples of being figuratively silenced include due to blacklisting and/or political backlash (Eartha Kitt, Janet Jackson, Dixie Chicks, Sinead O'Connor) or even due to ageism (Madonna). So you get the idea: Here's a carefully-curated list of people I really miss hearing all the time, whose voices once ruled the airwaves and penetrated the zeitgeist who have since been silenced for one reason or another. How many have you listened to???
