We've lost so many talented and iconic musicians in 2016 that it's time to spend not one, but two Coffee Breaks listening to their music.

So for today's Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear from musicians that passed away in 2016?

This is a continuation from last Friday's Coffee Break, where we played the following songs:

Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings - How Do I Let A Good Man Down?
A Tribe Called Quest - Can I Kick It
David Bowie - Rebel Rebel
Eagles - Peaceful Easy Feeling
Vanity 6 - Nasty Girl
September - Earth Wind and Fire
My Feet Can't Fail Me Now - Buckwheat Zydeco
