Man, it has been a really sad year with respect to titans of the music world.
In recent months, we have lost David Bowie, Prince, Glenn Frey, Glen Campbell and now Florida's own Tom Petty.
It was this weekend, with the nation reeling from the evil terrorist act in Las Vegas, we learned of the passing of Petty. Given the news, his loss was not given proper credence.
The entire story of the rise of Tom Petty is astounding. The music he gave us was wide ranging, soulful and uplifting. Most of the tunes he wrote and remade were sing along songs, which helped solidify the close relationship he had with his legions of fans.
Of those mentioned above who we have lost, I had occasion to see my favorites among them, Campbell, Frey and Petty, live.
The body of work of Tom Petty is lengthy, but my three favorite TP & The Heartbreakers tunes are as Petty often put it; MACH 1 Heartbreakers. Here they are:
1. She's A Woman in Love (It's Not Me)
2. You Got Lucky
3. American Girl
