Moby Grape founding member and solo artist Jerry Miller 'dies suddenly' at his Washington State home at 81
Jerry Miller, the guitarist and vocalist who was a founding member of the 1960s psychedelic rock band Moby Grape, has died at the age of 81.
They would reap high praise from critics and fans alike for their self-titled debut studio album (1967), which peaked at number 24 on the Billboard 200, garnering them respect and attention from their fellow Flower Power bands like Jefferson Airplane and The Grateful Dead, which is now considered a classic. 'We could have had it all, but we ended up with pretty well nothing,' Miller told The Seattle Times in 2021, in a reference to the band's problems behind-the-scenes, including Spence's overuse of LSD that led to him experiencing a mental breakdown. There was renewed hope that things could make a turn for the better when original five members Miller, Don Stevenson and Peter Lewis rejoined with Spence and Bob Mosley for the band's fifth album, 20 Granite Creek (1971).
