He was a massive fan of Steve Marriot and while fronting The Raspberries, he attempted to sing like him...
Saddened to hear this news, some of the older ones like me will remember him playing for us. RIP Gerry
weird. never heard of the raspberries and i am fairly well informed on musical history, at least for the period it was any good. perhaps because they were from usaland and had no real impact here. hmmm.
Overnight Sensation was played quite heavily in 1974 but wasn't a hit in the UK surprisingly. His big solo hit (All By Myself) was based on Rachmaninoff's 2nd Piano Concerto - on YouTube there's a video where he plays the full version live on 'Midnight Special' and it's worth watching as he was clearly a talented pianist. He didn't realise that the Rachmaninoff Estate held the copyright to the music so had to come to an agreement to pay a percentage of royalties to it.
A talented pianist, who also had a talented hairdresser. please log in to view this image He had some dodgy record covers mind: please log in to view this image
Marcelo Gandini, aged 85, designer of the Lamborghini Muira, Countach and Diablo, Renault 5 Turbo, Ferrari Dino and Fiat Dino along with loads of others.
Sad news. I remember Gerry Summers signing for us. Did he come from Sheffield United ? £10k? mid field player, bit of a footballer, also played for Hull Cricket Club at The Circle. Ken Houghton also played in the same cricket team at the time as did Fred Cowell, opening bat if I remember correctly. Fred worked with our YTS/Juniors lads for as long as I can remember.
Wow, some of his designs were magnificent. https://www.autocar.co.uk/slideshow/marcello-gandini-1938-2024-his-most-brilliant-designs-pictures#2
I remember him playing, and yes, I believe he came from Sheff U. My cousin lives next door to Ken Houghton these days and I asked her a few days ago how he was, and she said general quite well, just not easy to get around, but ex-footballers often suffer from that in later life.
