"Leaving a major footprint in the music industry, legendary rock icon Tom Petty passed away on Oct. 2. As the frontman of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, a solo artist and even and actor and radio host, Petty was a major influence in both the rock and entertainment worlds.
He wooed people with his soft, pleasant voice on hit songs such as The Waiting, You Got Lucky, I Wont Back Down and Free Fallin. His 13 albums with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and three solo albums topped Billboard charts and many became gold and platinum records. In 1988, Petty joined fellow musicians Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne to form the supergroup The Traveling Wilburys, which released two studio albums. The band was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002."
