There are hundreds of "Obit" threads in the forum that may be for folk singers (folk musicians), but there are too many to sort through at once.
Here, for starters, are a few for people whom I don't think have been added to our list yet and who, as far as I know, may fit the category to some degree:

If you think any of these people should be on our "list," please post those names. Some of them aren't known primarily as "folk singers" but some may have been folkies of a sort.

I'll break up the rest of these into smaller segments. Don't want to overwhelm you.
