Spencer Dryden, 66, died Monday in his home after losing his battle with cancer. Spencer was the drummer for Jefferson Airplane in the 60's, and played for New Riders of the Purple Sage in the 70's. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1996.
Another legend to succomb to cancer was singer-songwriter Jimmy Griffin, who was one of the founders of the group Bread. He won an Academy Award for co-writing the song "For All We Know" for the Carpenters. In the 80's he teamed up with ex-Eagle Randy Meisner to form the group Black Tie, then in the 90's worked with the country band The Remingtons. Both will be missed.
