So yesterday was the 50th birthday of Natalie Merchant from 10,000 Maniacs. Here's her original of the wonderful "Verdi Cries" which arguably was made even more magical by June Tabor on the album "Aqaba":

It was also the 62nd birthday of Maggie Roche of Irish-American family group The Roches. They are known for their unusual rich harmonies, quirky lyrics and casually comedic stage performances. Here's "The Train":

American funk bassist, singer, and songwriter, Bootsy Collins was 62 yesterday. Rising to prominence with James Brown in the 1970s, and later with Parliament and Funkadelic, Collins's driving bass guitar and humourous vocals established him as a leading name in funk. He's now a big influence on hip-hop artists.

And Mahalia Jackson, The Queen of Gospel, was born on 26th October. She knew Martin Luther King and was at the heart of the Civil Rights movement. Harry Belafonte described her as "the single most powerful black woman in the US" before her death aged 60 in 1972. She's also mentioned in Van Morrison's lyrics.

I've never been a Duran Duran type - I was strictly a HipHop and R&B fan in the 90s.

Sorry. I thought I had some of those in the box but didn't bring them with me. Next time. I promise.
