Rather late for an obit (d. 1994) but this is about Nicky Hopkins.

RIP Shel Talmy, producer for the Who, the Kinks and David Bowie.

The American producer helped to craft a raw, immediate sound for British rock in the mid-1960s, with hits such as You Really Got Me and My Generation

Remembering Johnnie Walker - one of the last of a generation of truly "great" DJs - who played a big part in my youthful listening and musical education back in his Radio Caroline days. I retained an affection for his style, and his taste in music. He will be missed.

It fell to Bob Harris, another of the fast-dwindling pack of the great DJs of my youth, to announce his death live on air.

RIP Johnnie Walker
30 March 1945 - 31 December 2024 (aged 79)

Shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of rock guitarist John Sykes, best remembered for his time with Thin Lizzy and Whitesnake. I was aware that he became very disillusioned with the music industry. Recall seeing him with Whitesnake in the 80s before they broke in the US with the 1987 album and Is this love which he co wrote.
RIP

RIP Garth Hudson. He was The Band's "last man standing" so his passing really does signal their Last Waltz.

Marianne Faithfull

"Broken English" a favourite of the hifi demo room. Probably the least of her accomplishments.

I've been a little bit in love with Marianne for decades. Never going to hi-fi demo rooms I can still enjoy Broken English.



So long, Marianne, rest easy.
