Singer-songwriter Dan Fogelberg, famed for the soaring vocals and elegant instrumentation of tunes such as "Longer" and "A Love Like This," died on Sunday, three years after being diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. He was 56.

"He fought a brave battle with cancer and died peacefully at home in Maine with his wife Jean at his side," said a posting on his Web site (http://www.danfogelberg.com).

"His strength, dignity and grace in the face of the daunting challenges of this disease were an inspiration to all who knew him."

I am a career long Dan Fogelberg fan, having been to his several concerts and own much of his catalog. When I saw his death: xomba.com/dan_fogelberg_same_old_lang_syne_video_and_lyrics , I was deeply sorrowful. What a pioneer! He was the best, I remember him fondly, he didn't rely on the volume of his voice to convey his emotions; instead, they came through in the soft, tender delivery and his poignant lyrics. Truly a great singer-songwriter. To a bunch of kids growing up back then, he rocked! Now I still enjoy listening to his albums. One CD--Souvenirs, I like best. The sound quality is average at best, and now owning the CD is not a big problem. I found one with a good price here dealstudio.com/searchdeals.php?deal_id=73229 , with his music, I think we can feel that he is still alive! God bless him!
