Recently Departed: 2025
by Moondance 
In my continuing series of Recently Departed charts - I pay a final homage to those singers, songwriters, musicians who have made my life a richer life to live - but who, themselves, have reached the end of the line.
This chart will be ordered by date of passing, except for those artists who have had a more significant impact on my listening experience - they will be honoured by filling the top entries on the chart.
