2016 death section

[babycart]

How's the 2016 death section of your collection shaping up? I've got records by:

David Bowie
Prince
A Tribe Called Quest
Papa Wemba
A Motorhead single
A George Martin produced Beatles lp
Nana Vasconselos
Terry Wogan 45


I'm betting on Agnes to win this hands down.

[Xann]

Lonnie Mack too

[Shere Khan]

I've got

Bowie
George Martin
Gato Barbieri
Billy Paul
George Martin
Leon Haywood
Frank Sinatra Jr

I've got most of Allen Toussaint's Solo LPs.

I had a little display of sleeves in my Kallax which included Toussaint's Life, Love and Faith, Bowies Heroes, Prince's Kiss and Patti Smith's Horses (all black and white sleeves). Watch yourself Patti. I've taken the display down now, it was getting scary.

EDIT: Apparently Allen Toussaint died in November 2015, thank you for being too polite to mention it. Seems like part of the same run of things overall. Bowie was first for most of you, Toussaint was first for me. Also he was the first victim of the kallax of death.

Billy Paul's gone west? Shit.

Add Gato and Leon Haywood to my list.

[Agnes_Guano]

Yep, Victoria Wood single and LPs. A dozen or so Ronnie Corbett records, as well as Paul Daniels, Frank Kelly, Terry Wogan and a good number of George Martin's comedy efforts. I got my first Bowie record as a record club lucky dip about a week before he died so feel kind of responsible for him too.

Billy Paul's gone west? Shit.

Add Gato and Leon Haywood to my list.

I don´t know if I still own a Billy Paul record, to be honest. I used to have 360 degrees but haven´t seen it for ages.

Okay, Billy Paul gone.

Didn't know about Lonnie Mack. Got some of his Fraternity 45s which are ace.
Only April too. That list is depressing. That's the way it goes I suppose.

[LDJB]

I didn't know about Lonnie Mack either! 'Chicken Pickin' is a firm Mud favourite.

2016 - the most moribund year for pop thus far?

[medlar]

How could you miss Maurice White off your list BC?

[bongolia]

And Clarence Reid ("Blowfly" and writer of loads of classic soul) and Otis Clay.

How could you miss Maurice White off your list BC?

Still in denial, Medlar.
