RIP Kenny Rankin - miK. - 06-09-2009 I am longtime fan, ever since hearing Mom and Dad playing him on the car trips... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090608/ap_en_mu/ca_obit_rankin Re: RIP Kenny Rankin - Blankity Blank - 06-09-2009 RIP. A name I haven't heard in a long time, but I still remember the music. Don't know him? Take a listen. (The player is on the right side of the window.) Re: RIP Kenny Rankin - miK. - 06-09-2009 His version of 'Blackbird' had more than Paul's blessing too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn4160c0IcQ Re: RIP Kenny Rankin - JoeM - 06-09-2009 I just read about it. I'm really saddened by his loss as I have been a huge fan since the 70's. I missed an opportunity to see him a few months back. I was really looking forward to his next record. His last was excellent. RIP, Kenny. Re: RIP Kenny Rankin - ~Dan - 06-09-2009 Way, way, waaaay back in the day, I was a member of a three person entertainment committee at college that hired a then 'hardly known' John Denver for a Spring concert. When we picked Mr. Denver up at the airport he had a friend with him, who he'd invited to sit in with him: Kenny Rankin. Their 'rehearsal / soundcheck' is probably the best 'show' I've ever seen or heard. Wish that there had been a way to record it. The show that night was absolutely wonderful; within a year John Denver was at the top of the charts and his phenomenal career had begun to skyrocket. Sail on, Kenny ... your sweet voice will live on forever. |
