    I also didn’t realise until yesterday that they did the originals of Twist and Shout (Beatles) and Shout (Lulu). Great band who covered a range of musical genres across the years 🙌
    ‘Caravan of Love’ by the Housemartins is another less obvious hit that is a cover of theirs.

    Some noticeable lifting of hooks by generations that followed too - Kendrick Lamar, Jay Z, Tupac, Nas, Public Enemy are just a few of those who have borrowed from the Isley Brothers.

    Another musical loss from the generation that came to the fore in the 1960s, Carla Bley just passed at the age of 87. It's very hard to define her by a style, she was extraordinarily prolific in many forms, but for music buffs who know the ECM label, they will know of her long association with it

    She was a talented writer and arranger in the funny space between jazz and rock. Works like "Escalator over the Hill" were like a mash-ip of Miles Davis, Kurt Weill, Joni Mitchell and Jefferson Airplane, passed through blotting paper soaked in acid. She also was heavily involved in the Liberation Music Orchestra, especially after Charlie Hadens death.

    Funny the things you never knew - I don't think I was aware that she wrote practically all of Nick Mason's debut solo album. Just another accomplishment by a hugely accomplished talent.

    Haydn Gwynne star of Drop the Dead Donkey, The Windsors has died age 66 of cancer

    Also just found out the Tony Husband died on Wednesday, cartoonist for Private Eye and many other publications. Quite shocked at this one, he posted his last tweet on Wednesday, collapsed with a heart attack later whilst on Westminster Bridge, going to a Private Eye party. One of the good guys and a campaigner for dementia sufferers.


    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

    She was my favourite in The Windsors. They announced earlier this year that a series 4 had been commissioned. Not sure what they'll do with that now.

    My mate is a huge Toffes fan, hates Kenwright and feels he's to blame for the last 10 years at least.

    Lots of my mates are huge toffee fans too, they could never hate him, they disagree with a lot of what he done and said but they remember how he led the club after Peter Johnson almost ruined it and the massive part he played in the club throughout his time.

    Possibly hate was a tad strong, I know he disagreed a lot with Kenwright and wanted him out the club for quite a while now.

    Really hoped it was a hoax when I read it. So sad about this. Friends is my all time favourite program. My son who born a few months after the last episode aired also loves it, he watches it on repeat constantly. Quite something that almost 20 years after it finished, it’s still a hugely popular show.

    He didn't look at all well in the last thing they did when the Friends cast got back together. It seems that being successful has been his downfall. Real shame when anyone goes "before " their time.

    Properly sad about this one. I grew up with Friends and still love it to this day.

    Really sad to hear of Mathew Perry's death, we all know he had his demons but he with Matt LeBlanc were my 2 favourite characters in Friends and the two I could relate to.

    I was just reading an interview with him from a few years back and I hadn't realised he'd struggled so badly with the ensuing fame from Friends, and from the stress of making the shows.

    He apparently had endless number of people shouting 'hey Chandler' at him in the street and he absolutely detested it.

    He was so out of it that he doesn’t remember filming series 3-6.

    Perhaps not a celebrity but someone I had a lot of time for, sadly James Doleman, Scottish journalist, has died. I didn't know him personally but we had some interactions on twitter. I'm sorry to see him gone.

    James done a short piece in the Byline Times last month about his diagnosis (He has been living with treatable cancer since 2013, this was about the change of diagnosis to terminal cancer). I have always enjoyed his work and have followed him on Twitter for a good few years now,I am sure most would know him from his court reporting on the various cases the rangers were going through a few years back.. Sad news that he has died


    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

    Really sorry to hear this. Will miss his court reporting - and more recently, his hospital dinner updates. Sad loss.
