Sexy to listen to sexy to look at. And you can catch a glimpse of all of her in the mesmerising Blow Up. Shame I can't do these I.T. things some times.
Tony Bennett. His heart will be buried separately.

Am I lol.
It came up in a feed and having a Sunday dinnertime drop, I thought it was recent.
Vince Hill, 1960s pop singer/crooner/TV show host, aged 89. His biggest hit was Edelweiss, from the Sound of Music, which reached #2 in 1967.
But I remember him best for A Day at the Seaside (a forerunner to Daytrip to Bangor?) which was his contender for selection to represent the UK in the 1963 Eurovision Song Contest. It was one of seven songs in the televised "Song for Europe" that year. It particularly appealed to my nine year-old self and I was so upset that it didn't win (Ronnie Carroll's Say Wonderful Things to Me going on to finish 4th in the contest itself) that I went out and bought the 45rpm single with my pocket money, since when the track seems to have disappeared into oblivion (maybe with good reason). I particularly liked the Harold Steptoe impersonation at the end. Quite what the continental juries would have made of it I don't know.
And now Trevor Francis.
RIP George Alagiah
Sinead O'Connor RIP
Jesus Christ. Just read about It.

Really? Jesus Christ has been dead for about 1,990 years!
That's even longer than Mel Smith...

Tormented sole. She did well to make it to 56, the article mentioned her son committed suiside last year, didn't mention what she died of. RIP
In her final twitter message before she died, she posted a photo of her late son Shane and said: "Been living as undead night creature since. He was the love of my life, the lamp of my soul." Tragic.
