Oklahoma’s own Queen of Rockabilly Wanda Jackson, soul/funk band Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings and English singer-songwriter Florence Welch of Florence + The Machine paid tribute to the late, great British neo-soul chanteuse earlier this month during “VH1 Divas Celebrates Soul.” (To see more of the concert special, click here.)
Other notable 2011 deaths in the music world: rapper Heavy D, Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons, Songwriters Hall of Famer Jerry Leiber and country music greats Charlie Louvin and Ferlin Husky.
