And Sissy Spacek.
Wind Beneath My Wings for Bette Midler
John Mellencamp - Pink Houses
Ozzy Osbourne - Iron Man
Never Say Goodbye for Jon Bon Jovi
No - my bet is “Bridge Over Troubled Water” for Art, “Sounds of Silence” for Paul.
Bruce Springsteen - “Born to Run”.
B.B. King - The Thrill Is Gone
Elvis Costello - The Angels Wanna Wear My Red Shoes (and I bet all the pallbearers wear red shoes)
Billy Joel - “Piano Man.” Or probably, “Just The Way You Are,” to his eternal chagrin.
Eric Clapton - “Layla.”
Tony Bennett (85 years young) - I Left My Heart in San Francisco
Eddie Vedder probably WON’T get “Alive”.
Prince - Purple Rain
El Debarge - Rhythm of the Night
Lionel Ritchie - All Night Long
Derrick May - Strings of Life (Techno artist)
Patti Labelle - Lady Marmalade
Anita Baker - Rapture
It should be “Immortality,” except no one knows it if they’re not a big fan.
More likely, Mrs. Robinson
Pete Townsend: Won’t Get Fooled Again
Ray Davies: Lola
Eric Burdon: House of the Rising Sun
Susan Boyle: I Dreamed a Dream (with the clip of her on Britain’s Got Talent)
I hope not. It may be his best known song, but there are more elegaic-sounding choices, like “Waterloo Sunset,” “Days,” or “Don’t Forget to Dance.”
Sarah McLaughlin - I Will Remember You…that damn song was used for every damn sad scene for a few years, so I doubt anyone will be able to resist when the sad moment is her death.
No way. It’ll be Jack and Diane.
May the man live forever. 
I think when Leonard Cohen kicks, we’ll hear Suzanne, when Joni buys the farm, it’ll be * Big Yellow Taxi* and when Mr. Taylor goes, we’ll all be singing goodnight to Sweet Baby James.
“Well Respected Man”, and they’ll mention how he was, indeed, well respected.
I was tempted to propose them A-side/B-side, but the thread had mostly been single track type so I had to make a cut. Besides his life ain’t going on.
As to S&G, if Art goes it’s almost certain we will hear the Bridge Over and over and over and over Troubled Waters. Simon is a little harder to nail down.
Oh, BTW:
Kenny Rogers -* The Gambler*
Oh, how I hope not. If his death has any saving grace, it’ll be that I get to hear “For Once in My Life” and “As” repeatedly. If I’m very lucky, which I won’t be, I’ll hear a lot of “You Haven’t Done Nothing.”
I would be all right with this.
For Simon and/or Garfunkel, I’d say “Sound of Silence” with a mention of how much the fact that their voice has been silenced forever is analogous to having 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife.
Speaking of which, Alanis Morisette, “Isn’t It Ironic”.
