Yeah.  Most of my favorites are now either dead or "Who dat?"  How many remember Frankie Laine, or Gogi Grant?  Les Paul has name recognition for the guitars he designed, but when he and Mary Ford were together, they were far better than Les by himself.  Nobody remembers who had the best recording of Delicado, or that it was orchestral rather than vocal.  Fewer remember Duane Eddy, or that he played a Gretch for his recordings, with pretty heavy reverb giving him the sound he was known for. 

Such are the passage of time.

Wait until you go over 70, like me.  It gets better.  Or worse.

The "I" in Doric is Silent.
