RIP Dr. John
#1
He did some great stuff, and would worth celebrating if he only did "Right Place, Wrong Time." His album Gumbo is worth seeking out; it has great versions of some older New Orleans songs like "Iko Iko," "Big Chief" and "Junko Partner." And according to the NY Times obituary, he was an Ivory Soap baby, and also wrote the theme songs for Blossom and Curious George.

I saw him once, but he seemed to be in poor health and wasn't that into it. He looked unhappy and played a short set. But that was easily 20 years ago, so he kept on going for quite a while.
