Definitely 1924. Here's her birth record. Marjorie Redmond in the Ohio, Birth Index, 1908-1998 Name: Marjorie Redmond Birth Date : 14 Dec 1924 Birth Place: Cuyahoga, Ohio, USA Certificate Number: 1924130148

Out of interest @drol, how many names from 1926 are still outside the list of 30? Just Adamkus and Dizdarevic?

My usual pick, grrrr. Ok, I’ll take Luis Echevveria please. His son killed himself last week and I think that may contribute to finishing him off.

Crossposting. Youssoufi dead at 96.

Abderrahmane Youssoufi has died aged 96. He was hospitalised several days ago. I shall let @drol confirm and congratulate though.

I knew this wouldn't have just been Wiki vandalism. The Hollywood Reporter confirm that she did die on 10th February aged 95!! They appear to have clocked her death after it was listed in the latest SAG-AFTRA magazine. Speaking of which... does anyone have access to the latest copy so they can see if anyone else has gone off radar?

According to his LinkedIn, his name is Eddie James Summers. Klunis seems to be a stage name. On Ancestry there’s an Eddie J Summers who married a Laura Broomfield in L.A. in 1966. He was born in Cherokee, Texas on 23 Aug 1947. If a book or an article etc. can link any of these details, then it’s him. Nothing comes up for “Edward” in place of Eddie.

Polly want a cracker?

Was also the UK's 3rd oldest man. Means there is now one British man born in 1911, and one born in 1912.

The death of Al Rex means that Joey Ambrose is now the only surviving member of The Comets to have appeared on one of their UK hit singles, and the last living member to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the group.

Genuinely shocked. He seemed so fit for his age.

I do a lot of wanking, but that’s some effort.

Stanley Ho dead at 98. Soong-jong, Singh and now Ho. I hope you’ve got an alibi drol?

Birthday posts are quite insightful and useful for us keeping track of possibilities for the future, though I agree they should maybe go in a separate place. The Not Dead Thread created the other day is a good idea and maybe other users can agree to keeping these posts there?

Okay, almost done. Managed to find a few more sources and get lineups for all singles cept Love Me Like I Love You. And if you see above, I got birth details, to some extent, for all them cept John Devine. All I know is he was born in Edinburgh and was turfed out to be replaced by a 17 year old (Tam Paton did like 'em young so would suggest that Devine was maybe a year or two older).

This is exactly what I needed. Typed in “Keep on Dancing” Longmuir Marr into Google and got this source. Seems to give all the lineup info. What do you think?

William J. Small, President of NBC News (79–82) dead at 93.

Now fixed that typo. It was late and I was tired! If anyone can help with the Bay City Rollers, it would be appreciated. I can’t find much online, just piles and piles of tabloid garbage.

Jules Sedney please

Hahaha! It was in the intro on his Wiki page so I thought it was pretty cool “niche” trivia to include

Going to cut 70s B into four sections as it is so long and will take a while to do. Here's the first part: B B.

As for the promotional members who toured in the UK for the record, again lots of confusion but this Facebook page set up by Terry Anderson himself confirms the four names who toured in the UK. There is also a comment from Orr's son on a post confirming that he is dead, and a full date of death on his own page. This obituary for a Jimmy King (1950–2019) claims to be the one in the band, which is silly as he would've been just 13 when they disbanded! As per this the real Jimmy King was actually Lou Josie (but Ancestry records confirm he was born in 1936, two years earlier than the age he publicly used). Birth details for Anderson are from his Facebook.

Still alive as per April 30th.

Albert Memmi, French writer and essayist has died aged 99. Mentioned before in the Ideas and Possibilities for 2018 thread.
