RIP, quite a resume. That Golden Girls theme is probably one of the more successful TV openers.

Gold played every instrument on Art Garfunkel’s cover, ‘I Only Have Eyes For You’ in 1975. Below is the link to a very good HD remix of that great recording. By the way, Art turned 70 a few weeks ago.

I wore out several copies of ‘Lonely Boy’ in the late 70’s while working at a small town AM station in Illinois....

Another music star bites the dust. They are just dropping like flies. When will the madness end? If musicians continue to die at this rate, soon we will have no music left to listen to.

Gerry Rafferty...dead. Captain Beefheart...dead and for that matter, so is Don Kirshner, who will never put on a midnight rock concert on TV again. The grisly list of music casualties goes on and on, Teresa Brewer, Laura Branigan, Phoebe Snow, all dead. Half of the Beatles are dead and so are half of Ashford & Simpson.

The Grim Reaper has paid recent visits to Teddy Pendergrass, Eartha Kitt and even Teena Marie! The carnage continues, Falco will never sing "Rock Me Amadeus" again, Levi Stubbs - dead, Jerry Reed - dead, Waylon Jennings - dead. Tupac Shukur - we hardly knew ye! List goes on, and I'm just scratching the surface: Robert Palmer, Rick James, Roberta Flack, Johnny Cash, half of Jan & Dean, etc. Freddy Fender will never break out into Spanish singing one of his lounge songs again.

Need I go on? This is absolute madness. Why are musicians so hard hit by this thing called death? This madness has got to come to an end.

I believe he meant Deborah Kerr.
