What a catalogue.Married for over 60 years to Barry Mann who passed away earlier this year.
As an aside, I remember Chas Chandler of the Animals saying that the demo of We’ve Gotta Get Out Of This Place was done in the style of You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling (easy to imagine). Mickey Most heard them rehearsing it and said great song but you want to speed it up. He altered the arrangement and a classic was born.
 
the two kids on bournemouth beach. what the hell happened there?

Sincere condolences ThunderCity, that is very sad news losing both parents within a very short space of time. Hope you can take some comfort in that they were both of a good age, and you were very fortunate to have them both in your life for a great length of time.

Please remember, the loss is immeasurable, but so is the love and memories left behind.

Take care of yourself. RIP to your Mum & Dad <rose><peacedove>
