Phantom 2,465 Posted December 9, 2015 Early Rockabilly pioneer, Bonnie Lou passed away in her sleep at the age of 91. Her biggest hit was in 1953 with Tennessee Wig-Walk, she also had a hit in 1955 with Daddy-O edit - this could also go under the Country thread as she played both Country and Rockabilly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,211 Posted December 11, 2015 Rainer Bloss, german ambient musician most notable for some collaborations with Klaus Schulze, has died at 69: http://www.alphaville.info/rainer-bloss/ Curiously, this means that two of the three creators of the "involuntarily funny" album Aphrica have died just 31 days apart, with Ernst Fuchs having died in November (with Telegraph obit). Will Klaus Schulze be next? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 18,937 Posted December 21, 2015 I understand it's an observation rather than a criticism. Someone who was an integral part of one of the most iconic songs and had a prominent role in the video on a worldwide stage is obscure? The chorus is in fact all the two girls, yet we are only to be concerned with the two blokes in the band? And then years down the line, someone will say on here after Trevor Horn's death "I wonder what became of the girls in the video/on the song". I guessed she was worth mentioning. I know some folk are here for obitability, deadpooling purposes or many other reasons. I caught this titbit of information and do think it's worth mentioning, assuming it is factually correct (she's mentioned on the Wiki page for the song too). I've said before, no big star ever makes it on their own, especially in the music business. This lady may be "obscure" to some, eminently famous to others (Scott Weiland's can of worms opens up), but hey in the future someone can pop in a search and find the post. They won't be searching for a dead cancer mom in three months from their death, but huzzah there'll be plenty of posts about them. Anyway, love you all and I'll no doubt put up more posts which might not matter to some, but at least I'll hope you find informative. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For that money you could easily get an Ewok and a rebel engineer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
