Robert Palmer, 1949-2003. Always wore a suit and looked sharp. Great soul singer. Only performer I've seen that could sing next to James Brown and not get blown off stage. There was a video of him singing with James Brown at the Taboo Club in Detroit that has been taken down.

When I was a kid going to the symphony, this guy was my favorite conductor (and my classical crush). He was fired in Houston for playing 20th century classical music in the 20th century (those rich old ladies couldn't handle Mahler, let along Pendrecki) and for chasing Mia Farrow before she was divorced from Frank Sinatra. Getting fired was a promotion. He went to the London Symphony Orchestra and the Pittsburgh Symphony.

Andre Previn. He was writing movie music for MGM in Hollywood when he was sixteen, during World War II. He's still alive.
