The Smith side of the Presley's ( Elvis's mothers ) had a number of genetic traits that predisposed them to a likely early death, sadly. The details are gone into in Sally Hoegel's book, " Elvis - Destined to die young " ... all of Mrs Presley's brothers died in their 40's or early 50's, all from unexplained ( then ) heart and liver problems .. That is not to say that, like her father, drug mis-use and unhealthy eating did not play it's part .... RIP Lisa ! Quote
Gav Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 David Crosby has died aged 81, a real music icon and pioneer, part of 60’s Laurel Canyon movement. It’s almost a star a day right now, just goes to show what a productive era these people came from. RIP David. Quote

Riversider28 Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 Barrett Strong died yesterday aged 81. Not a well known name, but he was the voice behind Motown’s first hit record, Money, released in 1960. However, he was better known as a song writer alongside Norman Whitfield penning hits including I Heard It Through The Grapevine, War and a number of hits for the Temptations such as Papa Was A Rolling Stone, Ball of Confusion and Cloud Nine.

Don’t know if there was any truth in it. It’s closer to Ray Charles (What I’d Say) than I would have felt comfortable with if I’d written it tbh. Quote
Riversider28 Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 Money was credited as being co-written by Berry Gordy and Janie Bradford. Barrett Strong always claimed he had an input into writing the song, but Gordy always denied it, saying Strong’s inclusion on the original release was a “clerical error “. Strong suffered a stroke in later life and wanted the share of the royalties he felt he was due to help pay his hospital fees. 1 Quote

arbitro Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 Dickie Davies was the face of British sport along with David Coleman. I fondly remember his role in Saturday afternoons as the anchor man for World of Sport which he carried out with skill and professionalism. RIP. 2 Quote
oldjamfan1 Posted February 21, 2023 Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) Years ago, I was listening to a radio phone-in quiz. The question was: “Name a well known sports commentator?“ (The answer was Murray Walker) The lady contestant hesitated. The DJ offered the clue, “You put one in your mouth and suck!“ The lady excitedly blurted, “DICKIE DAVIES“ RIP The face of Saturday afternoon telly. Edited February 21, 2023 by oldjamfan1 5 Quote
jim mk2 Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) Good old Dickie. You had to feel sorry for him. He was the face of ITV Sport when the BBC had Wimbledon, the Open, Test cricket, top football and the Olympics all tied up and the best ITV often had to offer was go- kart racing and turbo charged dustbin championships. He did it with style though RIP Edited February 22, 2023 by jim mk2 1 Quote
