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.

age: 47

cause_of_death: Heart attack

claim_to_fame: Music

best_know_for: Irving Fine was an American composer with a remarkable gift for lyricism, whose masterfully crafted scores inevitably "sing." Aaron Copland wrote that his music "wins us over through its keenly conceived sonorities and its fully realized expressive content," praising it for "elegance, style, finish and a convincing continuity." A distinguished American composer, Irving Fine was a leading voice in the American Neoclassical School and a member of the Boston Group of composers—Arthur Berger, Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, Lukas Foss and Harold Shapero—who were hot on the international scene during the mid-twentieth century. A student of Boulanger, Koussevitzky and Piston, Fine’s compositions range in style from populist Americana to serialism. His greatest legacy is as an educator and impresario. As the founder of the Brandeis University School of Creative Arts, Department of Music, and internationally-renowned Festival of the Creative Arts, Fine transformed the Brandeis campus into a global destination for innovative performers and arts practitioners. Upon his death, he was laid to rest at Sharon Memorial Park in Sharon, Massachusetts.
