MacLeod was a working actor with an impressive range who played everything from evil Cold War spies to kindly uncles, and a great comedic performer who made being bald cool. |

I remember watching Gavin McLeod on 'McHale's Navy' in the early 60s. R.I.P.

My mom worked on the set of The Love Boat (and did some voiceover work for the deck announcements, still gets royalty checks for two cents in the mail), and she met Gavin MacLeod. He was a good guy apparently.

Franco Battiato did some very innovative prog and even hardcore experimental music. I'm very grateful to Micky for once using his Sulle Corde Di Aries album as avatar, which made me check it out. It is a monster album indeed and second to hardly anything. He then went into pop music, and Italian radio today plays some of his pop stuff, relatively nicely sung and composed even though some of the arrangements are like scratching styrofoam to me (by which I don't mean hardcore experimental but rather sugary and flat in a way that occasionally even seems ironic for a musician of his caliber). A very interesting guy indeed. RIP!

For those that don't know, FRANCO BATTIATO was an extremely popular Italian singer/songwriter who also made albums mixing electronica and classical music. RIP.

Don’t know if it was mentioned in here or not but Space Music pioneer Constance Demby passed in March. Had her stuff in the early 90s. RIP

She started as pop singer in the 60s, but soon she moved to theater becoming an important Brechtian interpreter, playing Bertolt Brecht all around Europe. In the 80s she returned for a while to music thanks to Franco Battiato. Here she sings "Alexanderplatz". Milva passed away today at age 82. |

I believe that 'Thing' was played by Ted Cassidy (Lurch) on the TV show. Ted Cassidy died in 1979.

A great shame. Not really my thing, but he was responsible for a monster of rock, and his legacy will live for a long time to come. RIP.

Leonid Bortkevich - legendary Pesnyary singer of the band's golden age died today, aged 71.
I don't think many people here know him, but he was a household name in former Soviet Union in the 70s. Very sad. Edited by NotAProghead - April 15 2021 at 10:06 |

I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved Tiger. It's easy to see how you loved your fond feline companion so much. I've always thought what a beautiful cat MaCavity is whenever I've seen him on your profile photo.
