Rick Danko : Times Like These

Richard Clare Danko

 (December 29, 1943 – December 10, 1999) 

was a Canadian musician, 

bassist, songwriter, 

and singer, 

best known as a

 founding member of

 the Band, 

for which he 

was inducted 

into the

 Rock and Roll 

Hall of Fame

 in 1994.

During the 1960s,

 Danko performed as a

 member of the Hawks, 

backing

 Ronnie Hawkins 

and then

 Bob Dylan. 

Then, 

between 1968 and 1977,

 Danko and the Hawks, 

now called

 the Band, 

released seven 

studio albums

 before breaking up. 

Beginning with the group's 

reformation in 1983 

and up until his death, 

Danko participated in 

the Band's 

partial reunion.

The Box Tops : The Letter/Neon Rainbow../Cry Like a Baby

William Alexander Chilton

 (December 28, 1950 – March 17, 2010) 

was an American musician, 

best known as

 the lead singer 

of the rock bands

the Box Tops

and

 Big Star

 Chilton's early 

commercial success

 in the 1960s 

as a teen vocalist

 for

 the Box Tops 

was never repeated

 in later years with 

Big Star 

and in his subsequent

 indie music

 solo career 

on small labels,

 but he drew an

 intense following

 among indie 

and

 alternative musicians. 

He is frequently cited as

 a seminal influence

 by influential rock artists 

and bands, 

some of whose testimonials 

appeared in the

 2012 documentary 

Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me.

Edgar Winter : Entrance

Edgar Holland Winter

(born December 28, 1946)

 is an

 American

 multi-instrumentalist,

working as a

 vocalist along

 with playing keyboards,

 saxophone, 

and percussion. 

His success peaked

 in the 1970s

 with his band

 the Edgar Winter Group 

and their popular songs

 "Frankenstein" 

and 

"Free Ride" 

which remain

 staple tracks of 

classic rock radio.

 He is the brother

 of late blues

 singer 

and guitarist

 Johnny Winter.

Dennis Wilson : Pacific Ocean Blue

Dennis Carl Wilson

 (December 4, 1944 – December 28, 1983) 

was an 

American musician 

who co-founded 

The Beach Boys

He was their drummer

 and the 

middle brother 

of bandmates 

Brian and Carl Wilson 

as well as a 

first cousin

 of other bandmate

 Mike Love. 

Dennis was the only 

true surfer 

in the Beach Boys, 

and his personal life 

exemplified the

 "California myth" 

that the band's 

early songs

 often celebrated. 

He was also known for

 his association with 

the Manson Family 

and for co-starring

 in the 1971 film 

Two-Lane Blacktop.

Dennis served mainly 

on drums and backing vocals 

for the Beach Boys. 

His playing can be heard 

on many of the group's hits, 

belying the popular

 misconception that he was 

always replaced

 on record by

 studio musicians.

He originally had

 few lead vocals

 on the band's songs

 due to his limited

 baritone range, 

but his prominence as a

 singer-songwriter 

increased following

 their 1968 album 

Friends. 

His music is characterized

 for reflecting his 

"edginess" 

and 

"little of his happy charm." 

His original songs 

for the group included

 "Little Bird" 

(1968),

 "Forever" 

(1970)

 and

 "Cuddle Up"

 (1972).

 Friends and biographers

 have asserted that he

 was an

 uncredited writer on

 "You Are So Beautiful", 

a 1974 hit for

 Joe Cocker 

frequently performed by 

Wilson in concert.

During his final years, 

Wilson struggled with 

substance abuse, 

exacerbating 

longstanding tensions 

with some of his bandmates. 

His only solo album

 issued in his lifetime,

Pacific Ocean Blue 

(1977), 

was released to 

warm reviews 

and moderate 

sales comparable

 to those of contemporaneous

 Beach Boys albums, 

and has retrospectively

 become highly acclaimed. 

Sessions for 

a follow-up, 

Bambu, 

disintegrated

 before his death 

from drowning

 in 1983 

at age 39.

 In 1988, 

he was posthumously

 inducted into the

 Rock and Roll 

Hall of Fame

 as a member of

 the Beach Boys.
