Awww... she was a sweet soul. 😢
R.I.P., Melanie. 23 January 2024
While "Brand New Key' and others may have been the 'hits', to me this was/is very special, same as her.
Goosebumps, every time. Still.

R.I.P. to the ‘DreamWeaver’, Gary Wright 🕯🎶🕊✨
Many know him from that one hit, but he was well-respected and hung out with bands like Spooky Tooth & Beatles.
(Played on every George Harrison solo album too.)

Another memorable musician has ... taken it to the limit. A last time.
Not a 20-something loss, as so common in the 60's/70's.... but a long-time Eagle (bassist/singer). Age 77. 🕯

Another huge contributor to 20th Century 'pop' music is gone,
Burt Bacharach, Peerless Pop Composer, Dies at 94
A "counterpoint to rock", some say, a with a prolific string of popular radio/record hits - mostly love songs and sweet ballads we could hum, from Dionne Warwick, the Carpenters, Tom Jones, Neil Diamond, Dusty Springfield, and spanning the spectrum, Elvis Costello, the Bangles and so many more. R.I.P.

One bit of musical homage to #JeffBeck, #legend of the #guitar .....
This was posted in response to the news of his passing today, by Rob Unnik in Amsterdam (via MeWe; not sure if 'here' somewhere)
Cause We've Ended As Lovers - Jeff Beck
I think this is a perfect tribute to "legendary guitar slinger Jeff Beck" - the words, just heard as I type, the introduction by Lester Holt/NBC Nightly news. He concluded, "He could make that guitar sing." - Jeff Beck, Rest In Peace. #MusicLivesForever
Adding one more "pointer" to the long list of music losses in 2022. Until the last days... :(

For Americans who grew up with television news 60's-00s....
One more for the 2022 record book of departures...
Barbara Walters, superstar and pioneer in TV news, dies at 93
"I began my career at the ABC News affiliate in Boston before realizing my true passion lay elsewhere and setting out on a different path.
For as tough an interview as she was, Barbara Walters had the uncanny ability to get even the most reticent subject to willingly sit with her.
With so many OGs I grew up with now gone (Peter Jennings, David Brinkley, Hugh Downs, Cokie Roberts, etc.), this one particularly stings." - Drew Geishecker, former ABC colleague
