Smithereens frontman Pat DiNizio, October 12, 1955 – December 12, 2017. I worked a Smithereens show back in college, and you couldn’t find a nicer group of guys. They took time out to chat, and I had the chance to talk with Pat about Buddy Holly and a record store we both used to frequent.

Sam Cooke (January 22, 1931 - December 11, 1964). A box set of Cooke's was titled "The Man Who Invented Soul." While there are others that could also make a stake to that claim, there is no doubt he was an influence on everyone in the genre (and many others) that came after him.
