R.I.P. Ray Sawyer (February 1, 1937 - December 31, 2018), singer for Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show. I was recently listening to a Dr. Hook comp; there wasn't a bad song on it. "Sylvia's Mother", "Cover Of The Rolling Stone", "Only Sixteen", "Sharing The Night Together", "Sexy Eyes", and "When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman" were great, catchy AM radio songs. Rest in peace, Ray.

Not sure how many here are familiar with or fans of the band Walk Off the Earth, but I am. As a harmony vocal group, the Beach Boys are one of their influences.
Sadly, vocalist/keyboardist Mike "Beard Guy" Taylor passed away at the tender age of 40 on December 30.
I refrained from posting it about it here because I wasn't sure anyone would know him. But today, the WOTE twitter account posted this clip of Beard Guy playing a beautiful rendition of God Only Knows, and I felt the need to share it.
I'm not crying, you're crying. Okay, yeah... no, it's me.
RIP, Mike Taylor.

Chrissakes, I’d no idea she was ill.. Seems only two minutes since they split. She wasn’t ill at the time was she? Poor lass. She was such a great factor in his life – quality control for one thing – and her own solo work was really enjoyable.

Amazing woman - just checked Yahoo because I had not seen that she had passed - who (yahoo) is too busy keeping up with the K's and a million and a half stories on the royals. No news on Carol Channing. This is news. Real news in the arts/entertainment world. Thanks, Sheriff - what a great clip!

I remember her from a single she sang with someone else. I may be wrong but it was probably "Ready, Willing And Able" with Jimmy Holliday: She also sang backup on this early Spector gem: Rest in peace, Ms. King.

Lee Kerslake, former drummer for Uriah Heep and Ozzy Osbourne, passed at 71. Apparently, the news about Kerslake's death was a tad premature as Kerslake himself confirmed that he's still alive. Unfortunately, he is terminally ill, so he likely will not be around much longer.

Just read that - (they - WaPo must be charitable today - I was expecting a paywall.) What a shame - to think it was between Tork and Stills for that role. What a cutie he was.
