Burt Bacharach dead at 94…….could definitely write a catchy tune
RIP
RIP
I know that he was 94, but he went downhill pretty quickly. He was working with Elvis Costello nine days ago. Natural causes apparently. RIP BB

To be honest at 94…..an infection that wouldn’t effect someone a lot younger, can be curtains for an elder.

David Jolicoeur, a founding member of the pioneering hip hop trio De La Soul, has died aged 54, US media have reported.
No cause of death has been given for the rapper, who went by the stage name Trugoy the Dove.
The American musician had previously spoken publicly about his congestive heart failure in recent years.
Jolicoeur co-founded the legendary trio - alongside Posdnuos (Kelvin Mercer) and Maseo (Vincent Lamont Mason Jr).
The group changed the face of hip-hop in the late 80s and early 90s, and was honoured at last week's Grammy Awards in Los Angeles during a tribute to the genre.
Writing on Twitter, B Real - a rapper with the hip-hop group Cypress Hill - described Jolicoeur as a "legend of hip hop music and culture".
"His music will allow him to live in our hearts and minds," he wrote. "But not only was he a great musician but he was a great human being. He meant a lot to us."
Last month, the group's classic albums were made available for streaming online.
Complex licensing issues around De La Soul's use of hundreds of samples had held back the move until now.
De La Soul's first six records will be released on digital streaming services for the first time on 3 March.
3 Feet High and Rising, which was their debut album in 1989, reached number one on Billboard's top R&B/hip-hop album chart and often appears on lists of the greatest albums of all time. It included hits The Magic Number and Me, Myself and I.

We've been waiting nearly two years for the vinyl release of their debut album, now coming out on 3rd of March - 3 IS the magic number!
RIP Trugoy
