harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,689 Posted August 26, 2009 Songwriter Ellie Greenwich has died of heart attack at 68. She wrote, or co-wrote numerous hits including "Da-Doo-Ron-Ron'' and 'Doo-Wah-Diddy-Diddy'. Let's give the lass her due, here - she was a Brill Building legend. Apart from co-writing a couple of songs with silly titles she was also responsible for Be My Baby, Baby I Love You, Leader of the Pack, Tell Laura I Love Her, Chapel of Love, River Deep Mountain High, Then He Kissed Me and a few lesser Spector classics for Darlene Love/Crystals/Ronettes. That's some CV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

time 8,606 Posted August 30, 2009 Simon Dee has died aged 74.He was apparently one of British television's biggest personalities in the 1960s. Fk me that was quick. According to the 'Mail On Sunday' (paper edition), he 'only had days to live'! He was certainly very big in the 60's, though I have to confess all I can remember of his TV show is the E-type.

He would have made a great pick. I remember Dee Time on the prime time Saturday evening slot. It was as well patronised as Strictly Come Dancing is today and he was a big TV star, then just sort of disappeared until some stories appeared about him as a bus driver.

Guest WEP Posted August 31, 2009 Not sure if an Australian State-level politician would receive UK obit, though... If he reappers again without any scratches, serves until age 70 and dies with 85, I would say no. If they find his corpus after he was killed by alien-monkeys or canibals, he would make international headlines! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
