A lot of singers don't live that long.

Buddy Holly was born in 1936 but died in 1959.
Ritchie Valens was born in 1941 and died in 1959.
Harry Chapin was born in 1942 and died in 1981.
Jim Croce was born in 1943 and died in 1973.

Gordon was born in 1938 and died in 2023. We had him a long time!
True.

Jim Croce was a favorite of mine. I wonder just how much more he would have contributed, had he not died so young.
