Harry Belafonte

But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day

Someone who inspired Freddie Mercury can only be a great artist and also a good person. RIP Harry and thank you for everything.

We watched this on our new TV at the time. We were in stitches.

This could perhaps have been rationally expected, but be that as it may, Bob Lucas died today. For a Chicago guy, I think he was OK. RIP

I'm a quandry myself; what about "Jake the Peg", "Tie me kangaroo down"

The 60s were amazing. The big question kids had was "which legs are real?"

And we can thank England (and in particular, the Stones) for 'discovering' all these black artists in  the 60s who were ignored in USA.
Otherwise, we would be still listening to Pat Boone and Johnny Halliday..

Thanking the Brits. I would personally not go that far.
