Trailblazing Actress Judy Pace Remembered After Her Passing at 83

Pace died peacefully in her sleep on March 11 at the age of 83 while visiting family in Marina Del Rey. Her passing marks the loss of a performer whose work opened doors and whose legacy continues to inspire generations of artists.

Beyond her work on screen, Pace was dedicated to lifting others up. In 1971 she co-founded the Kwanza Foundation with Nichelle Nichols, an organization that supported Black women working in film and provided scholarships to minority students pursuing careers in the arts. Through this work she helped encourage new voices and expand representation within the entertainment industry.
Judy Pace leaves behind a rich legacy carried forward by her daughters Shawn Pace Mitchell and actress Julia Pace Mitchell, her grandson Stephen Lamar Hightower III, and many loved ones.

10 Artists Who Quietly Shaped Modern Music More Than Most People Realize
Music history loves its giants. The names everyone recognizes. The chart-toppers, the arena-fillers, the icons who dominate documentaries and playlists. But behind those legends are the architects. The artists who influenced entire movements, inspired generations of musicians, and quietly reshaped the sound of popular music. Their fingerprints are everywhere, even if their names are not always front and center.
Here are 10 artists whose influence runs deeper than most people realize.
Michael Nesmith
Before country-rock was a genre, Michael Nesmith was already blending twang, folk, and rock in ways that would influence artists like The Eagles and Linda Ronstadt. After The Monkees, he also helped pioneer music video storytelling with his show “PopClips,” which later inspired the creation of MTV.
Bob Mould
With Hüsker Dü in the 1980s, Bob Mould helped bridge the gap between punk and what would become alternative rock. Loud guitars, emotional songwriting, and melodic hooks that later echoed through bands like Pixies, Nirvana, and Foo Fighters.
Cheap Trick
At first glance, Cheap Trick looks like classic rock radio comfort food. But their fusion of Beatles melodies and hard rock guitars became a blueprint for power-pop, influencing everyone from Nirvana to Weezer and much of the 1990s alternative rock explosion.
Todd Rundgren
Producer, songwriter, engineer, and studio wizard. Todd Rundgren’s fingerprints are on albums by Meat Loaf, The New York Dolls, and countless others, while his own work experimented with studio technology and pop structure long before it became common.
Alex Chilton
As leader of Big Star, Alex Chilton created some of the most influential power-pop albums ever made. They did not sell much at the time, but their jangly guitars and emotional songwriting became essential inspiration for bands like R.E.M., The Replacements, and Teenage Fanclub.
T. Rex
Marc Bolan’s T. Rex helped ignite glam rock and redefine how rock stars looked, sounded, and moved onstage. The swagger and riff-driven simplicity of songs like “Get It On” would echo through later rock bands from AC/DC to Oasis.
Lou Reed
With The Velvet Underground, Lou Reed rewrote the rules of what rock lyrics could talk about. Art, street life, vulnerability, darkness. The band’s early records sold modestly, but their influence spread through punk, indie rock, and alternative music for decades.
Allan Holdsworth
Often called “your favorite guitarist’s favorite guitarist,” Allan Holdsworth transformed jazz-fusion guitar playing. His complex chord voicings and fluid technique influenced generations of guitarists across jazz, rock, and progressive music.
Robert Fripp
As the mastermind behind King Crimson, Robert Fripp helped define progressive rock while pushing guitar sound design into new territory. His experimental playing and production techniques shaped artists from David Bowie to Talking Heads.
Tangerine Dream
German pioneers of the Berlin School of electronic music, Tangerine Dream helped establish the sonic vocabulary of ambient and electronic music. Their work with synthesizers and sequencers influenced everything from film scores to modern electronic and trance music.
The biggest impact in music is not always measured in chart positions.
Sometimes it is measured in the number of future artists who listened, learned, and started a band because of what they heard.
