Which musician retired too soon?


There are a number of people who used to record and who people enjoyed that are no longer out there for one reason or another. People like Syd Barret or Cat Stevens come to mind.

I know there are a lot of people that I wish had retired, but who would you like to have seen continue in the music industry, that left already?

I'd include Peter Green and Artie Shaw;
even though Green has returned recently.

And the list of those prematurely "retired"
by substance abuse or accidents is WAY too
long. A few favorites not mentioned yet are
Gram Parsons, Clarence White, Clifford Brown,
Buddy Holly and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
