Let us not forget:
Swedish jazz clarinetist Stan Hasselgard (died in car accident at 26)
Swedish jazz pianist Jan Johansson (died in car accident at 37)
(The latter was one of the most influential musicians in Swedish jazz in 
the 1950's and 60's, developing a chamber jazz style based on 
traditionals, mainly Swedish but also Russian and Hungarian.)
Alma Cogan, British pop singer, died of illness at 34
Joseph Schmidt, Ukrainian tenor, died of illness at 38
