Remembering a B-boy, the Voice, a Band legend, a godfather, and a disco queen
by
SPIN Staff
It was the year we learned there’ll never be a new Beastie Boys album. Or hear Whitney Houston’s powerhouse voice on a fresh recording again. We lost the Godfather of Go-Go during the past 12 months, American broadcasting legend Dick Clark, the Band’s dutiful drummer Levon Helm, disco innovator Donna Summer, and so many more. Remember their lives and careers here.
