Thought it might be an idea to gather together mentions of the musicians who have passed away this year........a sort of 'In Memoriam' thread

Twinkle - had a massive hit with 'Terry' but never recaptured those heights. Her death in May this year passed largely un-noticed

BB King - legendary Bluesman. Once said that being a blues singer was like being black twice.

Percy Sledge - singer of When A Man Loves A Woman........one of the all-time 'smoothies'

feel free to add.........

I was watching the BBC News Review programme yesterday on 'celebs' who passed away this year. The majority of those mentioned were featured but not Lynn Anderson, Jimmy Dickens or Dozy, though obviously they couldn't include everyone.

^^^ I guess that we should add American Idol to the list. In 2015 it was announced that the 2016 season of the show is going to be its last one.

God bless you always!!!
