I think Whitney Houston was the biggest name that passed this year.  I don't think there was anyone I was ultra attached to, although it always makes me a little sad to hear of a passing.

I have to say Whitney Houston. I grew up with her music and so many others that were in that era. Got her greatest hits extended cut for Christmas as a gift. It was from my mom. I used to dance and sing to her albums when my mom would play them when I was young so she means a lot to us both. I played it the other day and was smiling at how easy her songs made me just start to dance. What a voice, what a woman and what a loss. She went through a lot of trauma in her life and she beat the odds many times. It was just her turn to go. For us who she impacted we are left with her songs and great memories of her. A loss, yes, but she definitively was put on this earth for a reason and we were blessed with the fact that she was!

Davy Jones was my heart throb when I was 8.  I probably won't miss him too much because I still see him when I watch "THE MONKEES" on Saturdays.

I forgot she dies this year too, she always made me laugh, with her wild hair, wild clothes and that crazy laugh!

I will miss *bleep* Clark.  The New Year's Eve celebration was not the same without him.  He was an American icon and he will surely be missed by a lot of people all of the world.

Sad we can't write in the first name of Mr. Clark, the American Bandstand legend! What a great part of history and so saddened by his passing...

Michael Clarke Duncan was also very sad because I feel that in a lot of ways, his career was just beginning. Then it came to an abrupt end.

Andy Williams. Big fan. He was always a class act. I saw him once live in a show, but this was past his prime, but he still knew how to carry himself.
