If only Bush had supported perestroika more we may not be where we are today.

US singer/songwriter Paul Evans is 84 today; his most well-known songs were hits for other people - Roses are Red (My Love) for Ronnie Carroll (UK) & Bobby Vinton (US) and When, for The Kalin Twins.

 

His earliest chart success as a singer was with The Curls & Seven Little Girls Sitting in The Back Seat in 1959, which reached number 25, beaten by The Avons version, which reached No. 3. He had top 10 success some years later, when the maudlin Hello, This is Joanie (The Telephone Answering Machine Song) reached number 6 in 1978.

Ben Murphy is 80 today. Best known (this side of the Atlantic anyway) as quick-drawing 'Kid' Curry to Pete Duel's Hannibal Hayes in Alias Smith and Jones (they never shot anyone!).

Artist David Gentleman is still alive at the age of 91. He's as much a part of the British fabric as the speaking clock and London Underground platform announcements, as he's designed over 100 sets of commemorative stamps for the Royal Mail (amongst his other work); fittingly he's now being honoured with a new set of commemorative stamps to mark his work.
