This is going to be fun. Oh, and for the record, I pulled a Ryuichi Sakamoto, my parlance for a misspelling throughout my research that also made it into my official entry. My joker's surname is actually "Ridsdale", instead of "Risdale". However, from my submitted description (Australian pedophile priest), there is no doubt who he is. (P.S. All the teams for which I submitted Sakamoto's name, I'd spelled his given name as "Ryuchi', instead of 'Ryuichi'.)

Lord Creator, who sang the original 1970 version of the song 'Kingston Town', which UB40 covered 20 years later, has died. He was 87. https://www.jamaicaobserver.com/latest-news/ska-rocksteady-artiste-lord-creator-has-died/
