The stage and screen actor Charlotte Cornwell has died aged 71 of cancer. She sort of made her name in a show I remember with great affection, Rock Follies, alongside Rula Lenska and Julie Covington. RIP Charlotte. OBIT |

RIP Hilton Valentine, guitarist with The Animals. The Animals formed with Valentine was asked by Chas Chandler to join the Alan Price Combo in 1963. The band already featured Eric Burdon and John Steel. Valentine created the electric guitar arpeggio at the start of The Animals 1964 hit ‘The House of the Rising Sun’. In a statement Eric Burdon paid tribute to his former band mate saying, “The opening opus of Rising Sun will never sound the same!… You didn’t just play it, you lived it! Heartbroken by the sudden news of Hilton’s passing. We had great times together, Geordie lad. From the North Shields to the entire world…Rock In Peace” OBIT |

On a personal note, one of my boyhood heroes passed away today. Ian St John, Liverpool forward and TV personality, dies aged 82OBITThe Saint headed the winning goal in the first Liverpool match I ever watched, and we lifted the FA Cup for the first time, back in 1965. He was a gentleman, if not always exactly ' gentle', on the pitch, and a true gentleman off it. As Sir Kenny Dalglish said today, "along with Bill Shankly, Ian St John was one of the men who made Liverpool Football Club what it is today". He was also an ambassador for the club, and the sport in general. RIP Saint. |

Great invention of its time. ISO standardisation was key. But 🙂  |
