Which musician retired too soon?

There are a number of people who used to record and who people enjoyed that are no longer out there for one reason or another. People like Syd Barret or Cat Stevens come to mind.

I know there are a lot of people that I wish had retired, but who would you like to have seen continue in the music industry, that left already?

Good old Alvin. One hit record and then not much work after that. Kinda like Barney Rubble...great actor but no good scripts since his show was cancelled.

Alvin was not a one hit wonder. There were at least 2 top 10 songs, Witch Doctor in 1958 and Christmas Song in 1963 come to mind. Others may not have charted so high.
