No mention of the brilliant scholar and author Zecharia Sitchin (January 11, 1920 – October 9, 2010).
Thank you Zecharia for helping to expand our thinking.

How about Ernie Harwell, hall of fame radio voice of the Detroit Tigers? Not famous enough for ya? Haven’t even heard about half of these other people. Who compiled this list? Any bias towards obscure musicians here?
