I guess that one song hit was the only memorable song they did. Never heard of anything of note that they recorded otherwise.

Arno's death has been the main news in France since yesterday since the TV can't talk about politics until 20:00 tonight.

Greek composer Vangelis has died. His electronic compositions were extremely popular in the late 20th century, and he won an Oscar for the music of Chariots of Fire.

Just for the record, Vangelis died of covid-19 so we should not imagine that the pandemic is finished in this part of the world.

I did see that Kimby and it slipped my mind to post it.
While I was not a rabid fan of them, I do recall some of their songs. "We May Never Pass this Way Again" brings back many memories of that era when the song was played. (Sometimes, overplayed as so many hit songs are).
Thanks for posting this, Kimby.

When I was a teenager, my sister and I would go dancing on Friday nights in Ronnie Hawkins' club in downtown Toronto. The adult bar with live music was downstairs, the dance club for kids upstairs but sometimes a musician would come up and do some sets. That's how I saw Bo Diddley.

As you can imagine, much of Oz music scene is saddened by Judith Durham's death. She never lost the "common touch" no matter how many awards and honours were given to her. One time she flew into Adelaide and with the men in the group, stopped at the top of the steps to wave to the fans. Later she was asked by the Press why she wore a hat while on her tour. She laughed and said that they had to stop for photos at the top of the stairs and her long hair blew into her face and even the men got tangled. Judith was so natural and her voice pure diamonds.ALL Discounts would automa

Olivia Newton John, dead of breast cancer at 73.
She was probably most famous for starring opposite John Travolta in Grease. And for those skin tight black pants.

Loretta Lynn has been around for so long that her death is a surprise, as is her age. She's one of those cultural icons whom we forget can age just like the rest of us.
