Recently Departed: 2024 by Moondance 
Here we are - less than a week into 2024 - and I begin my continuing series of 'Recently Departed' charts.
These charts give me a final opportunity to recognise & thank those singers & musicians that have graced my life over the years.
Those artists that I regard most highly will fill the top spots of the chart; thereafter, the chart will be ordered chronologically based on the date of the artist's passing.
Like the previous charts in this series, I wonder whether 100 places is barely enough - as our musical heroes inevitably get older.

b: 27 February 1951/d: 17 March 2024 - age 73
Steve's career spanned 1973 - 2020 & produced 6 albums with Cockney Rebel and 6 solo albums.
His 1975 album with Cockney Rebel - The Best Years Of Our Lives - is listed in my top 100 Greatest Albums of All Time chart.
His is a sad loss to me. [First added to this chart: 04/05/2024]

B: 3 February 1947/d: 23 January 2024 - age 76
Melanie made a big impact internationally in the early 70's. Her 'Candles In The Rain' album reached no.2 in the Australian charts (& top 10 elsewhere) and I had a well worn copy of the LP. For that period of time in modern music and in my own discovery of modern music, she will always hold a special place for me.
Melanie released almost 30 albums between 1968 to 2010, but she never re-captured the 'magic' of her '68 - '72 period. [First added to this chart: 02/04/2024]

B: 28 August 1943/d: 4 January 2024 - age 80
David is probably best known for playing the role of 'Hutch' in the mid-late 70's US TV series 'Starsky & Hutch'.
In 1976, he had an international hit song - 'Don't Give Up On Us' - it reached no.1 in my homeland of Australia - so I became aware of his musical career as well as his acting career.
The album chosen above includes this hit song - which didn't feature on the 'David Soul' album released later in the year. [First added to this chart: 01/20/2024]
