R.I.P Ben E King #1
I seen it on cnn that Ben E King died, he was one of my favorite singers and was one of the best singers. He died at age 76.

I seems like all of the good singers and especially the ones who helped make real music and big hits throughout the world are passing away.

Music will never be the same.

It does seem like a lot of the talent that made music great are passing. It sucks.

There are some good modern singers but in all honesty the music industry has gone to shit. All voice changers, repeating the same thing about sex, drugs, being rich, color, etc. Music was not about that back then. Now days its about money back then it was about the heart and soul of music.

A good friend of mine once said "1994 was the worst year for music. Kurt Cobain died and Justin Beiber was born." I feel like '94 was the tipping point of music going down the shitter.
It's often the outcasts, the iconoclasts ... those who have the least to lose because they
don't have much in the first place, who feel the new currents and ride them the farthest.

Ha, that's pretty funny actually and fairly accurate.

I couldn't have worded It better myself.

Nowadays, the music Industry Is open to anyone with good looks and the potential to draw attention. The technology takes care of the Imperfections of their vocals.

See there was no voice changers or auto tune back then it was all pure. You can tell when a voice is using technology enhancements and TBH I have not heard a modern song yet without it.
