Three more
Levi Stubbs, 1936-2008
The Four Tops: "7-Rooms of Gloom" (Motown, 1967)
Next to Edwin Starr, Stubbs was about as raw as Motown singers got. I tend to think James Jamerson is a little overrated but his bass part on this song is phenomenal.
Dee Dee Warwick, 1945-2008
Dee Dee Warwick: "It's Not Fair" (Mercury, 1969)
It's not fair that Dionne was a bigger star.
Rudy Ray Moore, 1927-2008
Rudy Ray Moore: "Brother Rapp's Dream" (Comedians Inc., 197?)
Who knew dude was 81 years old? There's a surprisingly lengthy and fond obit in the L.A. Times.
Bonus:
Big Daddy Kane: "Big Daddy Kane vs. Dolemite" feat. Rudy Ray Moore (Cold Chillin', 1990)
