In the past few days the rock world has lost two talented musicians from two well-known classic rock groups. On Thursday we got news that former Jethro Tull bassist and founding member Glenn Cornick had passed away at 67. He played on 4 studio albums including This Was, Stand Up and Benefit. Then on Sunday it was reported that Survivors lead singer Jimi Johnson had died at the age of 63. Johnson had been a member of the band since 1984 when he replaced Dave Bickler. Although he did not sing Eye of the Tiger he did sing some of their other big hits including High On You, The Search Is Over and Burning Heart all of which made the top ten. In the 90's Johnson took a break from the band during in which time he wrote and preformed the theme to Baywatch. He would later join up with the band again in 2000 and record two more albums.
