    To the best of my knowledge, this man is still alive: Eddie Van Halen! His expertise in playing a wide variety of instruments (guitar, piano, drums) in several musical genre (rock, classical, blues, country & western), as well as his versatility in writing music make him one of the greatest musicians/musical talents that I know!

    Elvis Presley, and Micheal Jackson. I now he has a past history that people do not like....but that doesn't take way the TRUE FACT, that he is in a league of his own. There will never be another musician as talented has he.

    Roy Clark....

    OK I AM a muscian. And I'm not found of CW music either.

    I was a Rocker.

    But I have heard him noodle around in the studio on several instruments. I'm not sure he knows just how skilled he is.

    He slowed down a lot after the heart attack. but still good.

    Not sure if he is still with us.

    I'm not playing anymore and hanging with that group.

    But from a muscians standpoint. He was frightening.
