Ray Liotta - more credits than I could count. Very recognizable in every part I saw him in. Too young. Looks like he still had three projects in the filming stage.

Sadly I never saw him perform-of course his Hawks largely became The Band.

He was one of the founding members in 1983. Looks like he was the original bassist and left the band in 1994.

LOL. You got that right. From what Buck's leaked out over the years about life and death, he's got a pretty healthy attitude towards making the best of our time on this mortal coil.

Over 35 pages shown here and no telling how many people have not been mentioned.
And the ages are getting a little too close for comfort. The only stats I can use to put things in perspective is to look at the "In Memory" entries on my high school website for my graduating class. 57 out of 534. That's over 10%. And that's just the people we know about, so the number could be double. Fortunately the count doesn't seem to be escalating based on age.
X3 Zen,

My friend posted this on FB:
Songwriter Paul Vance has passed away. While his obit focuses on Brian Hyland's Itsy Bitsy Tiny Weenie Yellow Polka-dot Bikini, he wrote far more prolific tunes, including Gina, and What Will My Mary Say, both sung by Johnny Mathis, as well as There's So Much Love All Around, (Tommy James), Early in the Morning, (Luther Allison, Gene Pitney, Ben E. King), and a song that has a lot of personal meaning for me Catch a Falling Star, theme song from the Perry Como Show. With his partner on many of his 50+ songs, Lee Pockriss, Vance, who began songwriting at 13, had a phenomenal career. He was 92.

Jim Seals died yesterday, June 6, 2022 after a brief illness at age 80. Rest In Peace! Singer-songwriter, musician of the 1970’s soft rock duo Seals and Crofts. He had several Top 10 hits and Gold Records including: “Summer Breeze” “Diamond Girl” “Get Closer.” Other charted songs include: “Hummingbird” “We May Never Pass This Way Again” “I’ll Play For You” “You’re the Love.”
Seals and Crofts started in The Champs(after Tequila) and then went on the road backing up Glen Campbell early 60's.Another group that had a long history before they hit big.
