Is it going to be one of those years for famous people dying?

I see that Den, Feels So Good, jazz funk classic.

He's a much bigger figure than he gets credit for...plus, The Cannonball Run theme!

He was certainly a good ambassador for Motorsports through what was the RAC and then MSA for Club Competitors like myself when I started out Rallying in the 80's.
A Good Innings RIP Stuart Turner.

It is a shame that it takes someone to die for a new generation to discover their music though, be nicer if it happened when they were alive.

It is a shame that it takes someone to die for a new generation to discover their music though, be nicer if it happened when they were alive.

They discover music by music tagged to Tik Tok messages, all it needs is a viral message with a classic tune and then it gets airplay and downloaded.

Alternatively my girls get introduced to classic music when my phone gets the bluetooth connection in the car first, one loves my music the other just says "not this old **** again"

5 to 1, 1 in 5....

If I'm moderately healthy at that age, I'll think that going 'gently into that good night' is not such a bad thing </thread merge>
