Peter Sarstedt, 75, of for 'Where Do You Go To My Lovely' fame.
Saw him perform it live at a local folk festival a few years ago, and it was ace. The rest of his stuff was very unremarkable, but you're right, that is a classic.
Nat Hentoff, a great friend to jazz and jazz writing, and perhaps the last truly honest man. America's foremost free speech warrior since I wore diapers. A true mensch, his life was a blessing to us. Nat always told you what he thought straight up, and he always stayed true to his beliefs.
This is from the Hentoff sessions of 1960 - the great Charles Mingus

I suspect that's nothing compared to what the inside of his head looked like.

Clare Hollingworth dies aged 105: Telegraph correspondent who broke the news of World War II passes away in Hong Kong
Clare Hollingworth, the Daily Telegraph correspondent who broke the news of World War Two, has died in Hong Kong aged 105.
The British journalist was hailed for her "scoop of the century" after she spotted German tanks on the Polish border in August 1939.
"We are sad to announce that after an illustrious career spanning a century of news, celebrated war correspondent Clare Hollingworth died this evening in Hong Kong," a spokesman for the Celebrating Clare Hollingworth group said in a statement on Facebook on Tuesday.
Her death was confirmed by The Foreign Correspondents' Club of Hong Kong, which praised her "remarkable" career.
“We are very sad to hear about Clare’s passing. She was a tremendous inspiration to us all and a treasured member of our club," said Tara Joseph, the FCC president.
"We were so pleased that we could celebrate her 105th birthday with her this past year. Details of the funeral arrangements and a wake at the club will be announced later."
Tributes to Hollingworth's legendary career poured in from former editors and journalistic colleagues who recalled her showing sharp interest in her trade well into her 70s.

Telegraph editor Chris Evans said: "Clare Hollingworth was a remarkable journalist, an inspiration to all reporters but in particular to subsequent generations of women foreign correspondents.
"She will always be revered by all of us at The Telegraph. Our sympathies to her friends and family."
Charles Moore, the editor of the Daily Telegraph said Hollingworth was one the Telegraph's most distinguished servants and an inspiration to all foreign correspondents and all women in journalism.
"She combined a professional determination to dig out world news with a practical compassion for the sufferings of humanity.
"During the Cold War, when China was a closed society under Mao, Claire was highly unusual among journalists in having the contacts that opened up some of that world to her, and so to the readers.
Kate Adie, the veteran BBC war correspondent said Hollingworth was "a pioneer" for women in journalism who did not stop after her great scoop, when on to have a "a lifetime of journalism, full of adventure, good stories and terrific attention to detail and fact.
"She was a role model, without being aware of it. In the sense that she loved the job and had a terrific zest for journalism right to the end of her life. In her 90s she followed the news. I met her. Several times. When she was in her 70s and still with an eye on China and I remember going to the Foreign Correspondents club in Hong Kong and someone saying 'there's a legend upstairs'.
Robert Fox, the Telegraph's former defence and chief foreign correspondent, said described Hollingworth as "amazing and steadfast".
"After the Falklands I remember she took me to lunch and asked me about the state of British Army. She used to take the trouble to come over to me, she was always interested and took a great deal of interest in younger reporters. She never put on side, and she regarded old and young in the whole business as kindred spirits."
The BBC's John Simpson first met Clare in 1978, travelling with her in Romania, Serbia, Turkey and other places. He described her as a journalist who people trusted, and she could go back to people.
"She interviewed the Shah of Iran in 1941, just after we had put him on the throne, and she was the only person he would speak to before he died - because he trusted her. I consider her one the finest journalists of the 20th Century, along with Martha Gellhorn and one or two others. I shall miss her memory more than I can say."

Scoop of the century: The outbreak of World War II, as reported by The Telegraph
"She covered some of the greatest stories of the last century with imitable dash and, on top of all that, she was kind and lovable. Everybody who knew her will certainly have her in the category of the most exceptionable people they have met.”
"At 105 we had begun to wonder if Clare was one of the immortals," Mr Garrett told the Telegraph. "She got a cold around Christmas and obviously it is an extra concern with the elderly. We assumed she'd fight it off but it was to be her last Christmas."

Graham Taylor, very sad, decent guy, Watford have a lot to thank him for, the England job was probably not quite his style and it's a shame that he became a bit of a joke figure after he was sacked by the National side, but he seemed to embrace it and made a few bob from the subsequent adverts.
Developed John Barnes if I remember rightly and did reasonably well at Villa.

Image captionBronski Beat were (left-right) Jimmy Somerville, Larry Steinbachek and Steve Bronski
Larry Steinbachek, former keyboardist with 1980s synthpop group Bronski Beat, has died at the age of 56.
Steinbachek formed the group with Jimmy Somerville and Steve Bronski in 1983 and they had chart success with songs including Smalltown Boy and Why?.
Their cover of Donna Summer's I Feel Love with Marc Almond was also a hit.
Steinbachek's sister Louise Jones told BBC News he died last month after a short battle with cancer, with his family and friends at his bedside.
The electronic trio were also known for raising awareness about gay rights.
Smalltown Boy was about the anguish of growing up homosexual, and the sleeve for their debut album The Age of Consent listed the ages of consent for gay men in different countries.
When Somerville left for The Communards in 1985, Steinbachek and Bronski continued the group. Steinbachek moved to Amsterdam in 1994 and continued to make music and worked on various stage musicals.

That's sad. Smalltown Boy has to be one of the best songs ever written, imo.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-38597071
