Voici les prédictions de la DeathList Metro Belgique quick off the mark.

My two teams are as they were last year, except the following replacements for the dead folk times-up team - Tony Murray (98 year-old businessman) ...and its goodnight from him - Ronan O'Rahilly (Radio Caroline), Rony Robinson (playwright, radio presenter) & Ronald Wayne (Apple) so I obviously won't be winning, but surely must improve on last years' performance.

As Jill Gascoine is no longer an option, Murray Walker.

Credit where it's due, charon posted this at the time.

This involves a fairly loose definition of 'a couple of years', but possibly Human Touch as performed by Rick Springfield at Live Aid, then being the title track Bruce Springsteen's ninth studio album.

Three (3) African elephants dead in two weeks at St Louis's Grant's Farm, making four for the year. https://www.riverfronttimes.com/newsblog/2018/12/05/grants-farm-elephants-toby-and-mickey-both-died-this-week-anheuser-busch-says https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/missouri/articles/2018-12-14/elephant-death-third-this-month-at-grants-farm To paraphrase Oscar, to lose one elephant may be regard as misfortune; to lose four...

No, a little earlier for the song, way earlier for the film, and both from the USA.

OK here's one It's one side of an album; It's based on actual events; it inspired a film of the same name.

Larry Gelbart's widow Patricia Marshall has died aged 81. A couple of screen acting credits to her name, including an appearance in MASH, but also appeared in Broadway productions The Pajama Game & Mr Wonderful.

It took a while for the penny to drop, but today I learned that Mike Pratt, actor, is also Michael Pratt, songwriter.
