    I wasn't overly familiar with her work but definitely know the name, very sad and shocking news.

     

    Along with Paul Ritter, that's two shock deaths within the past month of actors seemingly at the top of their game who have both appeared in Harry Potter and James Bond films. I don't believe in the law of threes, but it does make you wonder, who next?

    Not the biggest name, but definitely would be the most surprising and shocking death this year.

     

    Come to think of it, other than Dustin Diamond, we haven't really had any shocking celebrity deaths this year so it's about time we get somebody.  and DMX is definitely big in America.   He's probably one of the biggest names in hip hop, and Americans love their hip hop.  

    DMX would be a shocker, and he's certainly a big name, though for me the most shocking death of the year (so far), and perhaps in my life, was that of SOPHIE. I wasn't a superfan or anything, though I enjoyed their work, but somehow their death just left me stunned in a way no other celebrity death, except for maybe Bowie, has.

    I think even Watson could have solved this mystery.

     

    The late, non-Ponder, Steve Brown http://www.stevebrown.info/ who it seems died two years ago anyway. That's no excuse for not updating your website, though.

    The Steve Brown who died two years ago seems to be a different record producer, who also worked with Elton John. Why are there so many fucking record producers called Steve Brown?

    Hang on, I'm not sure this is the same Steve Brown. This Louder Than War obit has him best known for working with the Manic Street Preachers and The Cult, of which there is no mention on Steve Brown of Glenn Ponder fame's wiki. Seems to me that the latter is still alive. Anyone got evidence that they are the same person, or indeed otherwise. :sherlock:

    Steve Brown (IMDb), composer, lyricist and record producer, has died aged 63. He worked West End Musicals Spend Spend Spend and I Can’t Sing! The X Factor Musical. He composed many of the songs and jingles on loads of programmes such as Spitting Image in the 80s/90s, Dead Ringers and The Ant and Dec Show (including Wonkey Donkey). If you’ve watched UK TV within the past few decades you’ll probably have heard something he’s written by the looks of it.

    Best known to me as the subject of a sacking in Knowing Me, Knowing You as bandleader Glenn Ponder

     

     

    Edit: In true Partridge style, it turns out that Steve Brown, who played Glenn Ponder, is in fact still alive. I ought to be a subject of a sacking myself.

    Yes, Palin sounds and looks remarkable for his age and Gilliam seems well too, in this clip. However, Cleese doesn’t look as healthy or youthful as the other two here and has got me thinking, he may well be the next Monty Python member to depart. 

    I mean, he is the oldest. Cleese looks to me as he has done for years, maybe his voice is getting slightly more gravelly. His mother lived to 101 though, so I reckon he's got a few years left before he dies, departs, ceases to be, shuffles off this mortal coil, etc.

    So besides Sonny Rollins and JLL, are there any other 50's major solo artists left standing?

     

    I can think of Helen Merrill but don't know if she is considered as big as both of them.

    Duane Eddy, Johnny Mathis and Don Everly (not a solo artist, I know, but still worth mentioning) all come to mind, besides those who have already been mentioned.
