Final note: Musicians with prolific careers who passed in 2023

As we come to the end of 2023, we remember the people who have moved through the door of life and into our collective subconscious. Musicians, composers, and singers are among the many groups of people who deserve a moment of remembrance as they frequently put into feeling what we cannot express simply through words or pictures or hugs.

In the final part of this four-part series, I will list some of the most prolific artists, either in output or performance (or both) who passed away in 2023. These musicians created so much music during their lives, even if they aren’t a household name. The lists in this series are by no means exhaustive, and I would appreciate mentions in the comments, or stories you may have related to any of the music-makers listed below.
