In Memoriam Music 2016-Early 2017 Part 2

As with last year, following this year's Grammy telecast from a couple of weeks ago, I memorized nearly all the deceased musicians and music industry figures who died between last and this year's respective Grammy ceremonies. While watching the proceedings, I paid very close attention with regard to which of them were and weren't shown in this year's In Memoriam segment. The list of everyone who was included in it can be found in the following link: https://www.grammy.com/news/grammy-in-memoriam-a-tribute-to-the-music-people-we-lost-this-past-year.

Following the show (again, just like the previous year), I opened up Microsoft Power Point and made several slides, each of which consisted of a photo of a deceased musician, singer, or other music industry figure along with their respective names and brief descriptions and/or facts.

I completed it nearly a week later, then adapted it for Windows Movie Maker in order to save it in video format, then uploaded the tribute onto Youtube.

Here's the final version for Youtube, with music by two departed late greats shown in the video, Gene Wilder and Al Jarreau: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTuRXMmRu-s

Hope you all enjoy it and please feel free to post any questions, comments, or personal thoughts of any of the individuals included here!
