    And so another bit of my childhood bites the dust - cheesy Greeks were big on the telly in the 70s - well two of them were, Nana Mouskouri being the other ever present.

    Here's his hit, wearing a fine pair of curtains.

    Can't say I'm a fan of his solo work but Aphrodite's Child had some decent tracks.

    Just had to tell my mother there now, many a day I've had to listen to his wailing on the kitchen CD player.

    Ah now, you'd want to put 'Red' on before 'Larks Tongues' if you're looking to impress.

    Nothing better than telling people their heroes are dead.

    I remember texting "James Brown is dead, merry Christmas" to one of his biggest fans.
