Nina Simone would really be special. Such unswerving honesty that's very rare and so admirable.
 
And Jimi Hendrix. Would have loved to hear the products of Electric Lady Studios. I recall reading that he wanted to venture into new musical territory, but found his fame binding.

Bob Marley, among a few already mentioned.

Michael Jackson ! he still owes the "This Is It"-tour to the world

John Bonham is the name that comes to surface without hesitation...

 

[formula1]

Johnny Cash

 

[cizx]

Johann Sebastian Bach
 
I'd love to see him work with someone like Trent Reznor or Ben Folds.
 
Or Jeff Buckley.

 

[AManAnd88Keys]

Art Tatum. Those old recordings just don't show all of his genius. Try to play a transcription of him on a nice piano, then you'll see what a beatiful sound he created. Awesome voicings.

 

[JoeDoe]

Ray Charles and John Bonham

 Forget about the Senior Prom and go to the library and educate yourself if you've got any guts.
