Old School Friday #91 ~Gone But Not Forgotten~!

Happy Friday Everyone! Welcome to Regina's Old School Friday Spot! The music was taking over my other blog so I felt it was only fitting that Old School Friday get it's own place!!
Today is a lovely day for music but then again EVERY DAY is a lovely day for music!!
Today's theme is "GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN"!
You know, every now and then a voice comes along that is so melodious and so beautiful that it just gets stuck in your head and everytime you hear it you get instant beautiful memories! Well, for today's featured artists that is what I get, good memories whenever I hear these two beautiful voices. One is OLD school and one not so old, but both are Gone But Not Forgotten...

It is Friday and it has been a very difficult week for my family, but a worse week for the families who lost loved ones. There are no words that can take away the pain of a death, but my spirit cries for those that are lost and for those suffering a loss.
Time for Old School Friday. Music to soothe the soul. Today's theme is a hard on in spite of life's tragedies but we must move on, right?
