And there we go: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-52601228

Little Richard is guaranteed a BBC obit....come on you slow and clunky buggers! So that will be 22 hits, 22 Straight BBC Obits! When it arrives....

Acht, I'm not the polis, ha! Just thought we had better have a thread one way or the other to preserve Jerry Lee. How the gods of DL do it, that is how it shall be done! Which has now been done!

But then the previous one is full of Little Richard references! Alas, it's all a bit...you know....

6 Hits with Little Richard's death for me.

Little Richard is a hit for me here also.

As the mods have seen fit to shut the thread we could discuss Jerry Lee Lewis in after the death of Little Richard, I'm forced to open this one.

Oh yes, 2020 quite the disaster here.

One dead here - Little Richard RIP.

R.I.P. It Up Respect for your music:

In passing, I'll note that while searching for information on The Blue Flames, I came across a post on another forum by our very own @machotrouts regarding Tan Tan Thornton. Be sure your footprints will find you out.

Family Dogg. Doreen de Veuve was a fashion designer, but that's all I can find. Zooey Quinn is mentioned as the youngest of the group here: https://www.americanradiohistory.com/UK/Record-Mirror/60s/69/Record-Mirror-1969-05-03-S-OCR.pdf and probably nothing you don't know, she also designed clothes, from there I got Twitter: https://twitter.com/zooeyvintageway not updated since 2015, and from there the Etsy profile: https://www.etsy.com/uk/people/zooeylive so if she is still there, resident in Tampa, Florida.

More to the point, where's @Cat O'Falk? And nowt on Twitter re Gregory.

I believe June Bernicoff was previously picked for the DDP in her own right, so List of The Missed.

Oh, NOW it's Stage 4. *Poker Tourney coming up, Poker Tourney coming up....*
