Obituaries: Singer/Activist Jill Sobule, The Alarm's Mike Peters, Hall of Famer Joe Louis Walker

This week we also acknowledge the passing of jazz vocalist Andy Bey, English folk artist Wizz Jones and former Savoy Brown singer Chris Youlden.

Jill Sobule, the acclaimed U.S. folk-pop singer and human rights activist, died in a house fire on May 1. She was 66 years old.

A Billboard obituary notes that "The groundbreaking artist, who identified as bisexual, began her career with her 1990 debut album Things Here Are Different. Five years later, she broke out with her self-titled 1995 album and its hit single 'I Kissed a Girl,' which peaked at No. 67 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached the top 20 of the Alternative Airplay chart (then known as Modern Rock Tracks). Meanwhile, the LP’s other big single, 'Supermodel,' was included on the soundtrack to Clueless.
