Neither. Think All Stars.

I've just thought of a Deadpool so fiendishly obvious, I'm amazed no-one has thought of it before. I'm still working out the details, but will post here later. I would plan to run it for 2021. Loads of points though!

Cheers! Up two places. The charge for the top begins now!

I have not been awarded points for Morricone?

Well, there's your 1970 England Cup Squad Back Home performer Jackie Charlton away.

Doh! Always check Twitter! Here is Oliver Brookes' nephew from 2012: Maybe contact him? He's not posted there since last year mind. He's on Facebook too: https://www.facebook.com/simple2

Top 75? Do you know it takes me about 3 months to do my Top 30 list?!!! Gawd, some of those bands are a nightmare - Dexy's reinventions alone are probably half a day's work! Come back to me when you are around W! Did you ever manage to go with your webpage idea?

The Early Music Consort. I've learned too much over the past few hours about 14th Century Baroque! I've come to loathe them and I haven't even been able to bring myself to listen to their chart "hit". Anyhow, I've not been able to elicit much on the elusive Oliver Brookes. He's patently much older than his fellow band members. What I do have is the following: He replaced Norman Jones in The Element Quartet in 1955. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=9kl0dBlus9gC&pg=PA70&dq="Oliver+Brookes"+Viol&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjDu722xcPqAhXkUhUIHeynDi84ChDoATAAegQIBRAC#v=onepage&q="Oliver Brookes" Viol&f=false He was teaching in the University of Leicester's School of Music in 1961 - he was part of the Archduke Trio formed there which toured the USA. https://vdocuments.mx/february-1999.html He was a soloist in 1965 with the Birmingham Philharmonic and seems to have been playing with them at least up until the mid-1980s. He was certainly engaged with Birmingham University in the early 1980s and also visited the University of Western Australia at some time then. The trail slightly goes cold after that - he's quoted in a book from 2014 to which I've lost the reference (ha!) but unfortunately although I can get the quote, I can't access the footnote! Hopefully the Leicester then Birmingham gives you something to work on. My hunch is he's probably at least 10 years older than his fellow members given the pictures I've seen. Would not surprise me in the least if he's dead. Can't help with any others you may be missing from this section.

Paik Sun-yup dead according to this: https://en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20200711000200325 Korean War hero and retired four star general, he's been discussed elsewhere (for some reason). Now a pick in the Poker Tourney, watch out for those QOs.

Report of the death of Gaynel Hodge back in June, posted here as co-writer of Earth Angel: https://www.bmi.com/news/entry/bmi-mourns-the-loss-of-gaynel-hodge

Sugar Minott no longer had a Good Thing Going, 10 years ago when his weak heart stopped going, aged 54.

Their first, Don't Stop Believing, hit #2 in the UK charts in February 2010. Halo/Walking On Sunshine hit #9 also in February 2010. Total Eclipse Of The Heart also reached #9 in May 2010.

He was also a comedian, a panto star, a quiz show host and a bit of a chanter (was he on the 1978 Ally's Army single?). I couldn't bring myself to categorise him, which is why I went straight for the Dead of 2020 thread.

Wasn't really being serious, @RoverAndOut. I'm guessing the youngest would be the baby Brendan in the Timeless Child arc ha! No doubt when they hit 18, IMDB will be on it...or not...I dunno.

We are all waiting for Mark Naley to obit. Unlikely now, but keep your eyes peeled. Meanwhile, Yorkshire Banker moves into the lead with a unique hit with Johnny Beattie. No bonuses, leaderboard as above.

Johnny Beattie may very well have shuffled off - now you see him, now you don't?

Probably 20 of them in the one where all the regenerations were shown in Whittaker's Timeless Child arc, thinking about it after my bacon sarny.
