RIP Ginger.

One of the greats and great sulks of rock and indeed post war jazz music.
I watched that Beware of Mr Baker documentary and to be honest he didn't endear himself!

Anyway, to a man of many and varied interests.

another piece of my youth gone

RIP Allee Willis.

https://jrnl.ie/4947221
She wrote the theme song for Friends, and also many others, September, Boogie Wonderland, What Have I Done To Deserve This.

I think it must be so much nicer, to be the anonymous songwriter or screenwriter, without the needless intrusion of the celebrity industry that the singers or actors have.

Former REM drummer Bill Rieflin has died.

Adam Schlesinger - musician and songwriter best known for his work with power pop maestros, Fountains of Wayne - has died from complications due to coronavirus. He was 52. Golden rule: while everything was credited to both Schlesinger and Chris Collingwood, if a Fountains of Wayne song referred to high school or specifically to New Jersey, it was probably an Adam song.

RIP Bill Withers. Involved in some great tunes from my childhood.

Bill Withers, the influential US soul singer who wrote Lean on Me, Ain’t No Sunshine and Lovely Day has died aged 81 of heart complications, according to a statement from his family.
