Ok I'll post the Obit: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-51986611

 

He becomes my first and probably only hit for my TOTP Theme Team, just under a year after Ranking Roger carked it in 2019. RIP.

 

The 1983 release of Islands In The Stream actually hit its highest position in 1984, charting at #7 in January. So as per usual, got to post it:

Clearly,

He knew when to hold ‘em

Knew when to fold ‘em

Knew when to walk away 

Knew when to run....

So, just dropping songs into the List of Lost show for next year - Rogers best-known output a bit too mainstream for us but..."Condition (Just Dropped in)" is okay, so he's in a double shot with Genesis P. Orridge. Leaves me wondering what the two of them would have said if they'd ever met.

Like Castro, history will absolve Kenny Loggins of his sins.

So the next one to go from the list will be ... Willie Nelson presumably?
