RIP Mister Loaf. Jeanette, my late wife, used to love him, and I must admit to being a bit of a fan myself. Partnered with Jim Steinman the production values were stratospheric and the productions cinematic. He also surrounded himself with superb musicians.
I wonder how many of you, if any, remember this though, from 1971...
"Stoney," was Shaun "Stoney" Murphy, and it was released on Rare Earth, a subsidiary of Motown, and also, featured the famous Motown "Funk Brothers".
No, for once it's not one I bought, but I remember seeing the review of a single from the album - "What You See Is What You Get" - being released, and for some reason, their name stuck with me.

RIP Norma Waterson
Her name might not mean a lot to many, but with a large chunk of my past rooted in the folk club scene it means a lot to meWaterson, whose death was announced this morning, was one of folk’s greatest voices, and one of folk’s greatest people: proud, forthright and open about the music she made.
I interviewed her in 2010 with daughter Eliza (Carthy), in the family home in Robin Hood’s Bay, Yorkshire, shortly before she suffered an ankle injury that led to cellulitis and septicaemia and a four-month coma.
After the illness, she had to learn to walk and talk again. She was brusque and funny but also incredibly tender, her granddaughter Florence at her knee, her musician niece Marry popping round for tea and biscuits, the room filled with laughter. This warmth was at the heart of her as well as her toughness, and it sang loudly in her songs.

Re: Obits
Betty Davis died this last week. It was announced on Jazz FM. She was a funky motha. Briefly married to that little known trumpet owner Miles Davis. She is believed to have introduced him to the music of Jimi Hendrix and others which led to him making the fusion albums including Bitches Brew.
RIP Betty

Re: Obits
An extremely underrated artist, of the many and odd bands, people, genres (or whatever) I have an interest in Lanegan stands out amongst the few who have not done an actually duff LP . His solo work is excellent , if you haven't tried him then the Has God Seen My Shadow compilation is a good starting point. His collaboration with Isobel Campbell was wonderful, and is still one of my favourite concerts.
An amazing voice that can only have been honed on the roughest of rot gut spirits and the most adulterated Turkish cigarettes. I'll really miss him.
RIP
