R.I.P. Helen Reddy who passed away. Reddy died on 29 September 2020 in Los Angeles, aged 78. She suffered from Addison’s disease and dementia in her later years.

1944 Barbara Parritt, US soul singer. From their debut and most successful record selling over 2 millions copies and reaching # 2 on Billboard and # 1 on Cashbox.

I got this from a facebook friend; David Royko who writes of this CD: "A music blogger in Germany I keep tabs on who posts out-of-print and often pretty obscure, especially for Americans, albums from a wide variety of genres, often with a social consciousness bent, just offered Celebrating The Eggman. It came out just as the GDR was crumbling in 1990, to commemorate John Lennon on the 10th anniversary of his assassination. It's a bunch of East German hard rock/tehno/punk musicians and bands doing a baker's dozen of Lennon tunes (Beatles and solo), and most of these guys and gals were kids when Lennon was shot down. And it should be obvious why Lennon's revolutionary spirit would appeal to them back then."

1945 Donny Hathaway, singer-songwriter (Where is the Love), born in Chicago, Illinois (d. 1979)

Terrific Pretenders cover that combines elements from the original studio recording and the acoustic live version from The Isle of View by Pretenders.

From a Christmas record. Not really a Christmas song, but I see why they shoe-horned it onto the album. Nice, trippy cover - I'll send this out to valis. Former (and with hope) future KDHX DJ who did Trip Inside This House.

R.I.P. Roy Head who died last Sept. 21 (10 days ago) at the age of 79.after suffering a heart attack.
