Michael Clarke Duncan, oh my god! Only 54. Best known probably for John Coffey in The Green Mile, but is in many more films.

I always liked John Oaksey. Though I'm not a racing fan, he used to write a very good column in the Telegraph.

Hal David was probably my favourite lyricist. There's a nice piece about him from Mark Steyn, which focuses mainly on his and Bacharach's first American number one.

As you get to a certain age, parts of your childhood die off, one by one. Terry on 'Animal Magic' was one, as was reading about his part in the life of Gavin Maxwell.

Ah, Candi Staton. Still recording, albeit in a more traditional Soul style. Check out the album 'His Hands' for a taste - it's excellent.
