"One day you've got to go. You have to be cool to your fans. You have to stay in their memory just like that..."

Whether it was studio sketches, demos or unfinished recordings, fans were very pleased to hear them again favourite voice.

Bob Marley

The famous hymn "Buffalo Soldier" didn't come out until 1983, while he himself. Bob Marley had died of cancer a few years earlier. The track was included in the posthumous album "Confrontation", but the true success and recognition of the general public came to him only a year later. It was then that the record was released "Legend." with the reggae legend's best songs. By the way: it is the best-selling album in the history of the genre.

It's no secret that Marley sang about love and peace in his songs, but sometimes he touched on the extremely deep, tragic topics not only for himself, but for his people. The Buffalo Soldier tells the story of the black Buffalo Soldiers who fought the Indians upon their arrival in America. But even after the aforementioned confrontations stopped, their battles continued. Only now the fight was for equality and justice....

"Me and Bobby McGee" - 60s classic. Written by Kris Kristofferson and co-written by Fred Foster, the song was originally recorded by country star Roger Miller. Alas, his version was not a hit, although it had a good performance in the charts: number 12 in the US.

It wasn't until "Me and Bobby McGee" was performed that it became popular. Janis Joplin. "White Queen of the Blues" recorded the number a few days before her own death. As a result, the composition became the jewel of the posthumously released album "Pearl.". This is a very powerful track that proves that Joplin has absolutely earned her status as a legend and one of the most unique female voices in history.

Joy Division - "Love Will Tear Us Apart"

Ian Curtis
Ian Curtis

"Love Will Tear Us Apart" - is probably the most famous song performed by Ian Curtis. Unfortunately, the lead singer Joy Division In May 1980, he did something irreparable... He was gone too soon, at the age of 23. And just a month after the tragedy, a now classic called Love Will Tear Us Apart was released.

This song becomes even more interesting to the listener when you take into account the fact that the sources of inspiration were personal love and mental anguish the performer. This may sound downright creepy, but as critics have pointed out:

"Look closely at the lyrics from 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' well, it reads like a suicide letter against the backdrop of a mesmerisingly addictive melody..."

Indeed: the lyric is imbued tragedy and madness. But against the backdrop of dynamic rhythms - the whole message remains lost to the general public.

Grey Daze - "B12"

Chester Bennington

Together they completed the album "Amends."which included "B12" - A powerful composition written by Chester at the age of 12!
