Gram Parsons was an American singer/songwriter (duh) responsible for co-writing the Byrds' landmark Sweetheart of the Radio album, heavily influencing the Rolling Stones in their Let It Bleed era (allegedly writing 'Honky Tonk Women'), and forming the Flying Burrito Brothers.
To this day he holds for many the fascination of any prodigious talent who died young, having only completed two albums of solo material before his overdose in 1973 at the age of 26.
