You know, I have no idea and we can't tie it up but a David Anthony (entertainer) died back in November 2019. https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/3536125 Might this be our elusive Charles Dickens? If so, unlikely we will ever know.

Bonnie Pointer QO: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/jun/08/singer-bonnie-pointer-dies-aged-69

Bonnie Pointer is a List of the Missed though, having been picked by Gooseberry Crumble in 2018: http://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2018/celebs_P.html#pointb

Bonnie Pointer not a miss for my TOTP team for 1984. She had long left the group by then. Probably part of the least successful incarnation of The Pointer Sisters. Cruel, but true.

Leanne Barrett QO: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/mum-who-battled-cancer-pregnant-22157124

Scotland - 0 Normal footy score becomes an encouraging sign!

Another Soul Train dancer leaves us - this time it is Tyrone "The Bone" Proctor, who promoted the style of Waacking dance which it is suggested eventually morphed into or was stolen for Vogue-ing as seen on some old dame's video of Vogue: https://www.soultracks.com/story-tyrone-the-bone-proctor-dies Heavily influenced a young Jeffrey Daniel, who has reported Proctor's death.

Guardian Obit too for Kenny Young: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/jun/07/kenny-young-obituary Just in case someone needs it for, say, a list of band members of UK Chart hits of the 1970s.

The number today is 77.

Addendum: Here's something on Sue Glover who has become an author: https://alexanderdevine.org/2020/01/70s-songstress-pens-devine-childrens-book/ Now, notably no age given (who asks a songstress their age?) but notably resident in Bucklebury, West Berkshire.

Brotherhood of Man. Bit confusing really. I've seen the source that suggests Sue Glover (Yvonne Wheatman) was born in 1951, but all the sources I have seen suggest Sunny Leslie (Heather Wheatman) was born in 1951. Wiki references Sunny as being 15 in 1966 and this site seems to confirm that, as suggesting Sunny was "barely 12" in 1963. This clip from Sue Glover on Johnnie Walker confirms Sunny was the younger sister and in fact Sue states that Sunny was "very young" at the time they signed for Oriole: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p04006w6 Sadly the full interview isn't available. That must mean that Sue is probably a few years older than Sunny. Given Sunny reached #7 in May 1974 with Doctor's Orders in her own right, we are going to have to nail her down to 1951 I think. I've seen information suggesting they are both still about, but that is 2 years old. Tony Hiller confirmed that Sue Glover is on FB before his death.

Suggested as one of the best defensive players of the Cincinnati Bengals, report of the death of Ken Riley at 72:

For a short back and shides.

American gymnast Kurt Thomas, who competed at the 1976 Olympics, dead from stroke aged 64: https://www.intlgymnast.com/news/world-champion-gymnast-kurt-thomas-passes-away-after-suffering-stroke/ Rather more successful at the World Championships, winning gold in 1978 and 1979 for the Floor Exercise, and gold in 1979 on the Horizontal Bars. Didn't go to Moscow for the 1980 Olympiad due to the US boycott. Became a sometime actor and sports commentator. Fathered some singer called Kurt Travis. IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0859123/

204 is the number today - if anyone's interested.

Cannabalism, smoking pot and consensual sodomy?, 2 outta 3 ain't bad.....

Seemed to have missed off Wesley "Pike" Hall from the line up. I based by information on this here: https://www.feenotes.com/database/artists/hall-jr-wesley-pike/ Yeah I know Wiki doesn't have him, but I was sure enough to post his obit.
