We're an autonomous collective! SC I was going to say "I'm not very good at looking up GoFundMe" but when I went to add his name to my provisional 2017 list, I found he was already there! And there's no prior mention of him on this forum! I have no recollection whatsoever of finding out about this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cerberus 302 Posted April 25, 2016 Further information is proving hard to come by, but it appears that Emile Ford, who with the Checkmates had a number one with 'What do you want to make those eyes at me for' died on 11th April. That's the date Wiki has recorded for him - though I haven't seen a single UK obit for the man behind 1959's Christmas number one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
