George McCrae had 3 (UK) top 10 hits but no-one remembers the other 2. Gloria Gaynor had previously reached number 2 with the almost-as-famous Never Can Say Goodbye, though that was later eclipsed by the Communards version. 

 Tony Marshall even had a #1 hit with "Komm gib mir deine Hand"; "Schöne Maid" was a proper #3 hit and also hit of the year in Germany. He will always be remembered because of "Schöne Maid". Similar to George McCrae I guess but ok, he is a three hit wonder :D

Was also stunned he obitted, but reading it I didn't realise he was now a coach at RB Leipzig. A black armband show from them was always going to make it to QO levels, a good lesson for reading up on everyone who hits the radar.

German drummer Hans-Joachim Behrendt has died at age 68.

Maybe his name isn't well known, but the band he played in is: IDEAL, very successful, very influencing, very iconic.

They paved the way for German pop music in the 1980s, including the so-called "Neue Deutsche Welle", which made acts like Nena, Falco and Trio internationally successful.

I guess I’ll do what the supposed Admins won’t, seeing as you’ll post any goddamn thing.  Even the likes of @arghton and @alt obits guy and @Ulitzer95 have restrictor plates, thin they may be.  Hereby blocked.

Pot, kettle black.  You're the one that posts more on the demise of nobody's.   Maybe time for you to stop and think before posting?

The last White Rose is faded... and brings the D-A-CH-List to a total of 6 so far!

The SPIEGEL obit is out now. I kind of expected a "Breaking News" announcement, but it didn't happen:

https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/gesellschaft/weisse-rose-traute-lafrenz-im-alter-von-103-jahren-gestorben-a-256ec38e-9860-4cfb-8d8d-8caec42f05be

Traute Lafrenz-Page would have QO-ed: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/09/traute-lafrenz-the-last-of-the-white-rose-anti-nazi-resistance-dies-aged-103

 

Which is a pity as not picked this year. But was picked last year and is yet another List of the Missed: https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2022/celebs_L.html#lafret

German politician of The Greens, Antje Vollmer, has died yesterday at the age of 79 "after a long illness".

From 1994 to 2005 she was one of the vice presidents of the German Bundestag (parliament).

Didn't know she was that ill.
