Petty crashed onto the rock scene in 1978 with his band "The Heartbreakers" with their first top 40 hit entitled "Don't Do Me Like That" which was from their third album called "Damn The Torpedoes".
Petty's illustrious career also included other hits such as "Refugee" and "The Waiting". He also performed a duet with Stevie Nicks called "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" which also cracked the top 10 on the Billboard chart.
In 1988 he joined George Harrison's group called The Traveling Wilbury's and had great success with them as well. Tom petty was part of my early formative years in music back in the 70's and his legacy will forever be with us.
Petty was discovered unconscious after full cardiac arrest at his home and died shortly after. he was 66 and died just 18 days before his 67th birthday.
