I was going to mention that as well and also ask, who is Hugh Heflner? 
Unless someone on my '12 list gets smooshed tomorrow, I will have scored a big fat goose egg in my first try at this. If at first you don’t succeed and all…
Once again, list is submitted without reading the thread and any similarity to an already existing list is coincidental. Some retreads from last year, some new ones.

Just popping in to wish a Happy Birthday to our Death Mistress Baker!
So it’s a suck up. Deal! 
Still like that old time rock and roll. That kind of music just soothes the soul…
- Chuck Berry—pioneer of “Rock And Roll Music”
- Jerry Lee Lewis—The Killer?
- Gary Glitter—Parts 1 and 2—actually, all of Gary – just needs to go away
- Little Richard – Ooh My Soul
- Fats Domino – I’m Walkin’
- Dean Torrence—From Jan And Dean, watch out for “Dead Man’s Curve”
- Duane Eddy – Because they’re not young any more
- Michelle Phillips – Then Denny, Cass, and John can say “I Saw Her Again.” I’m officially running out of good puns. Sorry.
- Carole King – She did sing, although she’s the writer behind some of the 60s best known hits.
- Marshall Lytle—He rocked around the clock with Bill Haley
- Franny Beecher – Another of Bill Haley’s Comets
- Aretha Franklin – A spirit in the dark?
- Frankie Valli – If he dies, there are just too many songs to work with. Do I go with “Bye, Bye, Baby”, “Silence Is Golden”, or “Working My Way Back To You?” Wait, what? No, not that last one.
In summary:
Chuck Berry
Jerry Lee Lewis
