The last album ever released by Chuck Berry, "Rock It," was released in 1979 as a controversial addition to the music world. Throughout Berry's jail times in his career. While he released this album, he didn't produce anything else within a long time period. He did however celebrate his 60th birthday (7 years after release of Rock It) with 2 performances in New York & St Louis. While Berry has continued to have trouble with the low, he was inducted within the Rock N' Roll Hall Of Fame in 1986. The inventor of rock n' roll has failed to release any other "rockin'" material in nearly 28 years.

Elvis's last song "All Shook Up" was written by both Presley and songwriter Paul Terry King. The two performed the song together in private. The song was never published or released before Elvis's drug overdose death in 1977. Presley's ability to woo a crowd with hip gyrations and blue black hair was made him a rock icon for a lifetime. "All Shook Up" depicted his life as it was before his death. His rockabilly infused, yet R&B sound is classic and remains some of the best music ever produced, written and performed.

The legendary Beatles died of throat cancer in 2001. However, the last song he ever recorded, Horse to the water, was released on a Jools Holland album entitled "Small World, Big Band." Soon after, Harrison's most popular solo track 'My Sweet Lord," was released and went to number 1 again (nearly 30 years later). Ultimately, the musician excelled both in a band and as a solo artist, a true musician, he wrote and performed right until his death. A legend was definitely lost with George.

In 1968 George Harrison wrote his first song an became known as "Something"

Something in the way she moves, Attracts me like no other lover. Something in the way she woos me. I don't want to leave her now, You know I believe, and how.

The revolutionary singer created a great uproar in the creation of various genres of music in his time. The last song he ever wrote, in which created chart records, was entitled "What a wonderful world." This song made Louis the oldest person to ever have a number one hit on the chart (he was 67). The song depicts the wonders and glories of everyday life, his strong outlook came from a childhood of poverty, yet he perseveres with his passion in music. His sudden death in 1971 came by surprise; the world lost one of the best performers to walk its roads.

After his death, the song "You Know You're Right" was released to the world. The track topped the Top 10 charts almost immediately all over the world. Many claim the PR stint of releasing both this song (the first in a decade) as well as his notebooks and diaries was a way to make money off of the legendary Seattle rocker's suicidal death. The song highlights the transitional period both Cobain and his band were working on committing to. Who knows what direction Nirvana would have taken if Cobain would have lived past the age of 27.

The last song that this musical genius ever recorded was entitled, "Mercedes Benz." The acappella song was recorded early October 1970.

Oh lord, wont you buy me a mercedes benz ? My friends all drive porsches, I must make amends. Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends, So lord, wont you buy me a mercedes benz ?

It is true that genius is not appreciated in its lifetime. Such was the case with Mozart too, who led a very turbulent life because he was way ahead of his time. Even so, his musical talent was tapped early on by his father and he was composing symphonies and orchestras by the time he was thirteen. Though his life was tragically short, he composed and created such brilliant works of art that he is alive even today through them.

Many claim that Beethoven's last piece was the Tenth Symphony. This musical arrangement included strings quintets, C# minor piano solos and other instrumental combined to create the perfect "symphony." Many have argued that his last works involved Waltzes or Marches, others say his last pieces were written for others. While the mystery may never be solved, the lasting music that has been released since his death are treasures for the musical community worldwide. Beethoven is and always will be a legend in all musicians', no matter the genre, eyes.

On Chopin's deathbed he asked his family to destroy any works that he hasn't released. However, his family asked a close friend of Chopin's, Julian Fontana, to pick only the best of the unreleased materials. Nearly 23 piano pieces were grouped together in opus numbers and published in 1855. However, it is estimated that nearly 244 were in the running for the selections. This illustrates the extreme talent Chopin had for music as well as creating new works in record time. His collection is much larger than many modern day musician's entire career accomplishments.

Garcia's last song was Black Muddy River, in which the lyrics:

When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain
And the stars seem to splatter in the sky
When the moon splits the south west horizon
And scream of an eagle on the fly
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And listen to the ripples as they moan
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
Sing me a song of my own
