Sly Stone 1943 2025
When Sly goes to heaven, he can have an awesome jam with Prince. Both musicians had that effortless total mastery of live performance, both were brought down by drugs. Today a multiracial band is a normal thing, when Sly formed his band, it was still a brave and risky move. Thankyou for your massive contribution to the world of funky music.

Roberta Cleopatra FLACK (1937)
The american 4 times Grammy Award winnng singer who topped the Billboard charts with the No. 1 singles "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", "Killing Me Softly with His Song", and "Feel Like Makin' Love" .... but here's 2 of my fav . tracks, both from the Quiet Fire " album - the opening track

and a very different bluesy soulful version to the Bee Gees original

​

I thought that she died a while ago. She was a neighbor of one of my first gay friends, when I went to school in DC, before I was out and still thought that I could and wanted to go "straight". R.I.P.

What will the new one be like?

We have to give him a little bit of time! I think after a while of some months from now we will know which way he will go!

Of course. but, so far, though, he seems to be undoing some of what Pope Francis did. I just hope that he doesn't make the Church less tolerant. It's not just Catholics who will be affected. Its enormous size and influence affect the whole world.

Really? Is she found dead? Just read in the papers here, there will be a possibility to find her alive!
However, extreme sports are very risky. Okay, Laura, R.I.P.

Robert REDFORD (1936)
US Actor, Director, Activist
​

Redford first rose to attention in the Neil Simon hit on Broadway, The Odd Couple. He did the movie version as well, then one of his most iconic roles in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. From then on he was one of the most sought after stars in Hollywood. His understated acting and commanding presence made him an ideal leading man opposite strong actresses like Jane Fonda, Barbra Streisand, and Meryl Streep. For me his most impactful film was All The Presidents Men in 1976. He produced the film and worked with writer William Goldman on the screenplay while investigative journalists Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward were writing their book. But perhaps his most lasting cultural contribution was creating the Sundance Film Festival in Park City Utah - a venue that has launched countless award winning films, directors, and stars.

Diane KEATON (1946)
US Actor
​

Keaton made her Broadway debut as part of the original cast of Hair and then she made a connection on her next Broadway show that changed her life - she was cast by Woody Allen in Play It Again, Sam. Her first big film was playing Kay, Michael Corleone’s wife in the Godfather movies. She continued to work with Woody Allen, and their relationship was the inspiration for Annie Hall, for which she won the Best Actress. And while Hollywood is notoriously tough on aging actresses, Keaton seemed to soar past that with big hits like The First Wives Club, Father of the Bride, and Something’s Gotta Give.

Just read that Scott Finn has died aged 27

 

[ezekiel]

Yeah, I'm in shock. I loved him. He was a great performer and a great guy. He has a wife (well, ex-wife as I learned, he divorced last year) and a kid. It's sad.

Too young to die.
