I'd have to vote for Harry Chapin. Most widely known for "Cats in the Cradle" and "Taxi," he donated his proceeds from half of his concerts per year toward fighting world hunger. When he died, several charities had to close because of the lost funding. World Hunger Year is still carrying his message.

John Lennon - imagine what mor he could have brought to all of us.

Both men lost within 6 months of each other... 1980. That was a sucky year for me.
