MONEY (THAT'S WHAT I WANT):   BARRETT STRONG  (RIP 1/29/2023)   Check out Wikipedia for a list of all the amazing songs he wrote and co-wrote during his career. Impressive.

Very impressive. Wrote "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" with Norman Whitfield (passed in 2008).

Jerry Blavat aka “The Geater with the heater”

died this morning at 82. He was in hospice care.

I met him years ago when my friends and I would go out dancing to his spots. He always remembered us, was fun and friendly and always joined us for a dance. I’m heartbroken. RIP Geater 🎼💜😢

Rocker heaven is getting crowded 🎼😢

[LeeS4949]

It sure is but what a jam band they must have.

Lisa Marie Presley died yesterday at 54. She had a few albums out and recorded some duets with her Father. Very sad news all the way around 😢

[BeatleloverKT]

I have read she has been devastated since her son committed suicide. I would be surprised if they don’t find a cause for the cardiac arrest that isn’t cardiac related

[MaVolta]

So sad to lose someone so young. It’s so shocking that she and her mom, Priscilla were just at the Golden Globes on Tuesday evening. Austin Butler had won the best actor award, and he thanked the Presley family. Lisa Marie appeared very emotional. It must have been a lot to take in, and who knows what memories of her dad came flooding her way. So sad for the Presley family. 

[Raynyky]

I’m sure losing her son had something to do with it.

(1 comment) Interesting @LeeS4949 , I thought Elvis died of a drug overdose. Really enjoyed his music and movies. Such a loss! 😪

[LeeS4949]

Oh I believe he did too but the white washed version was something heart related. Lying to protect an image is still a lie.

Sad news…Jeff Back at 78.Quoting from Ziggy Stardust “But boy could he play guitar “.

Jeff Beck was an incredible talent.  I last saw him on a re-run of the Kennedy Center Awards playing for Buddy Guy with Beth Hart.

[BeatleloverKT]
