Suffering from crippling OCD at times, Joey Ramone was nonetheless an iconic, punk counterculture rock and roll icon as lead singer and songwriter of The Ramones. Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee and Tommy – the original Ramones, all deceased – never achieved million-seller status for any of their 14 albums but their legacy extends well beyond the five NYC boroughs, with Joey’s snarling vocals and gangly, leather jacketed image turning him into a 20th century countercultural icon.

John Phillips

popular name: John Phillips

date_of_death: March 18, 2001

age: 65

cause_of_death: Heart Failure, end stage liver disease, cirrhosis and sepsis

claim_to_fame: Music

best_know_for: He is famous for his role in organizing the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, his incestuous relationship with his daughter Mackenzie, oh and I almost forgot - as a member and leader of the vocal group The Mamas and the Papas. And it was said that his destructive tendencies were too florid even for Keith Richards, who once kicked Phillips out of his house for being too out-of-control. Be that as it may, in addition to writing the majority of the group's compositions including "California Dreamin'", "Monday, Monday", "I Saw Her Again", "Creeque Alley", and "Dedicated to the One I Love", he also wrote "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)" in 1967 for former Journeymen bandmate Scott McKenzie as well as the oft-covered "Me and My Uncle", which was a favorite in the repertoire of the Grateful Dead.

Gene Vincent

popular name: Gene Vincent

date_of_death: October 12, 1971

age: 36

cause_of_death: Combination of a ruptured ulcer, internal haemorrhage and heart failure

claim_to_fame: Music

best_know_for: More threatening than Elvis, wilder than Jerry Lee Lewis and sexier than Buddy Holley, Gene Vincent was the real thing. A swaggering, unrepentant rock 'n' roll singer and guitarist, he represented a dangerous embodiment of the defiant tension that gave birth to rock 'n' roll in the 1950s. While Presley made the transition from a defiant, rebellious rock icon to a bloat Vegas lounge singer, Gene Vincent was, remained, and died a rocker. The grave of Gene Vincent can be found at Eternal Valley Memorial Park in Newhall, California.

Dorsey Burnette

popular name: Dorsey Burnette

date_of_death: August 19, 1979

age: 46

cause_of_death: Heart attack

claim_to_fame: Music

best_know_for: The Burnette brothers, Dorsey and Johnny, are best remembered for their seminal rockabilly recordings for Coral in the mid-1950s. With lead guitarist Paul Burlison and brother Dorsey, Johnny Burnette founded the pioneering, but largely overlooked rockabilly group the Johnny Burnette Rock 'n' Roll Trio in the early 50s. And while they never enjoyed national acclaim like their good friend Elvis Presley, the group produced some of the wildest rockabilly of the era.
