2008 marked the end of the road for these amazing artists.

Bo Diddley: December 30, 1928 - June 2, 2008 (age 79)

Eddy Arnold: May 15, 1918 - May 8, 2008 (age 89)

(In 2006 I had the privilege of meeting Eddy Arnold - the only artist to have charted new hits in six consecutive decades, 1940s-1990s.)
