Sorry to hear that.  They're not really my cup of tea but a friend is an avid fan of Johnny and I did go and see them with her back in the summer.  She'll be gutted.

He’s had 4 kids and 3 of them have passed. Very sad

Heard on 60s radio that Danny Jordan, of the novelty act The Detergents, died. His group's main claim to fame was "Leader of the Laundromat", a parody of "Leader of the Pack", meaning the lead singers on both the original and the bad parody have died this year.

 

Found this tweet by bandmate Ron Dante, who later became best known for the Archies, confirming:

I briefly, no actually considerably considered creating a thread for him. Feels deathlisty, but also like he has 5 more years in him.

Brenton Wood, American singer and songwriter, dead aged 83. He had hits in the USA with The Oogum Boogum Song (#34 on the Hot 100) and Gimme Little Sign (#9 on the Hot 100, #8 in the UK) both in 1967.

Made some of my most beloved tracks (Gimme Little Sign especially), I'm actually heartbroken.

[Death Impends 8,184]

Can't easily search all the DDP teams just yet, but I found a team who picked him... as first sub. And no one on the team jumped the gun, oof.

 

Gimme Little Sign is definitely a choon though, RIP.

Brenton Wood is however a pick for Yorkshire Banker on the Poker Tourney, but he died too late to qualify.

 

Still seeking a QO for Death By Numbers where they did pick him for 2025.
