Philip Baker Hall - June 13, 2022 90 years old
Known his roles in ‘Boogie Nights’, ‘Seinfeld’, 'Hard Eight', 'Zodiac', 'Magnolia' and many, many others. Credited for around 180 on-screen roles. SAG award nominations for his performance in Boogie Nights and Magnolia
Personal Note: Awhile back I posted a link to one of my favorite one hit wonder songs "Driver's Seat". There is a short clip on YouTube featuring a scene in the movie "Boogie Nights" where "Driver's Seat" is used. Philip Hall is featured front and center in this clip. He walks in at the beginning wearing a light blue suit. Since he only appears for a short time at the beginning of this particular clip, out of respect I did not post the link so that the video would not come up in the Closing Chord thread even though it is pretty tame. If you're interested in seeing him, just search for "boogie nights" "driver's seat" on YouTube.

RIP Lt. Uhura. Thanks for all the great memories

Jim (Jimy) Sohns - age 75 July 30, 2022
Lead singer of the rock band "The Shadows of Knight" Voice of its cover version of the hit “Gloria”, which was written by Van Morrrison.
The Shadows version reached #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 (1966). Radio stations preferred Shadows as opposed to the original due to a change of four words in the lyrics that radio stations (or somebody) disapproved of.

FYI, Sohns was one of the founding members of "The Shadows of Knight". He was 16 years old at the time.

Yup two different labels-Dunhill was a black label Dunwhich was more colorful.Must have been created by a Lovecraft fan.
