After referring to my Juke Blues and ITB mags, I have eventually come up with three 'signifcant' omissions. These are the lead singer of the Dixie Hummingbirds, Ira Tucker, and songwriters Clyde Otis and Norman Whitfield. Otherwise I am amazed how complete your list is. As you say the year has not ended, so sadly there may be more to mourn.
