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.

Sun Ra

popular name: Sun Ra

date_of_death: May 30, 1993

age: 79

cause_of_death: Cumulative effects of congestive heart failure, respiratory failure, and multiple strokes

claim_to_fame: Music

best_know_for: With over 200 albums over his 6 decade career, Sun Ra was revered in Europe as a genius and staged hundreds of concerts, at times with a nearly 100-piece orchestra. Taking the stage with his Arkestra members wearing wild costumes and flowing cloaks, concerts would include extended percussion jams, poetry, light shows, dancers and wicked progressive jazz. In later years the Arkestra, with Ra's eccentric piano style, began to re- create Fletcher Henderson, Duke Ellington and Jimmy Lunceford jazz classics of the Thirties amongst its more contemporary works to remain somewhat commercially relevant.

Fritz Kreisler

age: 86

cause_of_death: Heart failure

claim_to_fame: Music

best_know_for: Making his professional debut at the age of 13, Fritz Kreisler is considered the one of the greatest, if not the greatest, violinist ever to play the instrument. His technique was animated by a riveting vibrato the likes of which no one had previously possessed or even imagined, and he used it constantly, even in passagework. Kreisler owned several antique violins made by luthiers Antonio Stradivari, Pietro Guarneri, Giuseppe Guarneri, and Carlo Bergonzi. He was the owner of the great Guarneri "del Gesu" violin of 1733 which was donated to the Library of Congress.

claim_to_fame: Music

best_know_for: Randy Rhoads was an American guitarist and co-founder and original guitarist of the heavy metal band Quiet Riot. When Quiet Riot continued to struggle with marginal success, the young musician tried out for Ozzy and became the guitarist and co-songwriter for Ozzy Osbourne's first two solo albums - Blizzard of Ozz (1980) and Diary of a Madman (1981). His life was cut short in a stupid and completely avoidable plane crash as the second tour of the group was just getting started. Rhoads was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021. He also placed 36th on Rolling Stone Magazine's 100 Greatest Guitarists. He placed fourth on Guitar World Magazine's 100 Greatest Heavy Metal Guitarists and 26th in Guitar World's 50 Fastest Guitarists list.
