I enjoyed Jana Horn's album that came out earlier this year. She doesn't seem to have many views on YT.

I get what you mean, death focuses people's minds on an artist's achievements.

Prince was absolutely massive during his lifetime, especially in the 80s.
It depends what you mean by "their due". Some really good art isn't broad and readily enjoyed by everyone imo, so getting your due could be just finding a modest sized audience who are willing to buy your albums and come see you live. In that sense I think plenty of them do get it.
Many musicians do get more respect and admiration after they're gone though, Nick Drake being an obvious example.

For earlier stuff: the Kinks first few albums, ? and the Mysterians, the Hollies, Paul Revere and the Raiders, the Tremeloes, the Creation, the Lovin Spoonful.
For later stuff: the Zombies, the Kinks later stuff, the Byrds, Love, the Beach Boys post-1966, Donvan's albums from Sunshine Superman onwards.
Missing loads but that's a good place to start.
