Edd’s MANtra: Saluting 2011’s Fallen Stars

2011 was a great year for us at Georgia Mae. We saw record growth on the blog, got to know our readers better, and we were able to shed a little more light on the things we love – music, fashion and self-awareness.

But it was difficult to lose so many great artists. At one point, it seemed like I was writing obits about a shocking death every month.

Instead of mourning, let’s look back at some of the great artists who are no longer with us and remember the memories and music they left behind.

Gladys Horton, lead singer of the Marvelettes

Nate Dogg

Gil Scott-Heron

Amy Winehouse

Nick Ashford

Vesta Williams

Heavy D

Dobie Gray
