Finally my second DDP hit; I am very excited! R.I.P. D.R.

Düsseldorf named a street after Luise Rainer. Nice gesture. https://www.duesseldorf.de/medienportal/pressedienst-einzelansicht/pld/luise-rainer-strasse-duesseldorf-ehrt-seine-zweifache-oscar-preistraegerin.html

Betty White. She is an animal advocate, LGBT rights supporter and a longtime vegetarian. Seems like we have a lot in common...

Hmmm... I have to look twice what the post is actually... that's a little exhausting...

1920: Teddy Johnson + Lassie Lou Ahern 1921: King Michael I. of Romania + Jackie Stallone 1922: Pierre Cardin + Janis Paige 1923: Roberto de Vicenzo + Pearl Carr 1924: Jimmy Carter + Eva Marie Saint 1925: Michel Piccoli + Arlene Dahl 1926: Hugh Hefner + Charlotte Rae 1927: Jerry Stiller + Cleo Laine 1928: Martin Landau + Jeanne Moreau 1929: Ed Asner +Ursula K. Le Guin

This time I voted for Pope Benedict so that my theme team 1 will finally get a hit.

For me, some (ABBA) songs are in colours, e.g. Dancing Queen is red, Knowing me, knowing you is green and Super Trouper is blue, but light blue, not dark. Lay all your love on me is purple and Waterloo is red, too. I really don't know why.

Again, I got 4 hits: Spencer, Peres, Starr and Morgan.

Ouch.

MTM is a shock, the next will follow with Betty White.

Oh Mary... Really sad. Goodbye.

UK-singer (Peter Sarstedt) with a four-week-UK-No.1-hit shall not be deathlisty enough? US-singer Etta James only peaked at No. 5 with the re-release of her only hit „I just want to make love to you“ in 1996, originally recorded in 1961. She was the No.1 of the DL in 2012. US-singer Lou Rawls was the No.1 spot of the 2006-DL. His biggest hit was a No. 10-hit in the UK and No. 2 in the US. US-singer Warren Zevon never had any UK top 10 singles and only a No. 9-hit in the US – top spot on the DL in 2003. Just sayin'.

10th day, 2nd hit!

On Lady Dianas 20th death anniversary. Oops, this will be on August 31, 2017...

Last year I got 16 hits and the DL got 12. I hope to beat the Committee again. Doesn't look that bad because of my first hit Peter Sarstedt! [my DL-prediction.

Thank you dear Admin for changing the title!

Admins, please change the title from "Queen Elizabeth Ii" to "Queen Elizabeth II". It makes me cry all the time when I see it! Thank you so much!

Nice list imo. Love to see more women on it especially interesting newbies like Betty White and Honor Blackman. And at least a German, Hooray!

Jill Gascoine, why not.

Thank you, well done! Send you my prediction. Hope I will do as good as this year

Yes, I can find myself in this lovely list... of course
