9:30 Coffee Break: In Memoriam Part 2

December 31, 2012

With only a few days left in 2012 we've been looking at many lists. We decided to take our last days of the year to look back at the great artists that we lost in the past year. The list is long, in fact, too long for us to be able to cover in one day, we started this Coffee Break last Friday and we'll continue it today.

Last week we played:

The Monkees - "Daydream Believer" (Davy Jones)

The Beastie Boys - "Sure Shot" (Adam Yauch)

Etta James - "At Last"

The Band - "Up on Cripple Creek" (Levon Helm)

Donna Summer - "Hot Stuff"

Andy Williams - "Moon River"

Give us your song picks from artists that we've lost in 2012 for today's 9:30 Coffee Break. If you need a reminder, check out this great retrospective.
