RIP thread

[Arthur Crabtree]

Annie Nightingale, R1 DJ at 83. Apparently their first female presenter. Used to listen to her excellent request show in the 80s. RIP.

for some reason I thought that she was the sister of Cheggers, but that was Janice Long, of course.

All gone now

[Arthur Crabtree]

Forgot Cheggers was sister of Janice Long. Must have been a very cheerful house growing up.

Keith was in Polanski's version of Macbeth. Not a speaking part, from memory, but he was credited.

The legendary Mary Weiss, lead vocalist with the Shangri-Las, 75.

aye... the leader of the pack

made a solo album, after years out of the business, back in 2007, seemingly

Critically acclaimed, according to wiki.

In property development before that...

[Arthur Crabtree]

Not bad. Like a new wave band covering Shangri-Las songs.

She was getting referenced by Amy Winehouse around then, so maybe that inspired the timing of the record.

Carl Weathers, 76, peacefully

I liked Carl Weathers. He always gave me the impression that he was having a ball... and he probably was.

Ian Lavender- Private Pike- at 77. RIP.

Steve Harley, 73. Cancer

I am surprised that he was so young.

I am not sure if I know a single song of his/Cockney Rebel's other than Make Me Smile, but that alone is worth remembering him for. A fantastic pop song, one that I enjoyed hearing each time.
