Did you guess that this yearbook photo belongs to Gram Parsons? If so, congratulations! During his all-too short time with us, this influential singer-songwriter helped merge the genres of rock and roll and country with his work in the Flying Burrito Brothers, the Byrds and with his own solo records.

Parsons died at the tragically young age of 26 in 1973, but the impact of his music is still being felt today. You can learn more about his life and career at Facebook.com/GramParsons.
