  Rocco Prestia, the bassist for Tower of Power, has passed away. What's that you say? You've never heard of TOP? Allow me to enlighten you...
  
  What is hip? In Oakland CA throughout the 1970s, Tower of Power DEFINED what is hip. More TOP to be found in the General Music thread...

  Baseball Hall of Famer Bob Gibson has passed away at the age of 84.

  While I knew that he had been in poor health, like Tom Seaver’s passing, this one really hurts.
  
  Somewhere in heaven, there is a great pitching duel being held today. Tom Seaver vs. Bob Gibson, just like the old days.
  
  RIP Mr. Gibson.

  We lost Singer Janis Joplin 50 years ago today (October 4, 1970).
  
  Gone far too soon.

  It makes me sad to check the news each day as it may reveal which MLB legend we may lose next.

  @BT3366. Agreed. Seeing the "In Memorial" signage on Baseball Reference's home page is all too frequent these days. Tom Seaver, Lou Brock and now Bob Gibson - all within the span of a single month.

  If there’s definition for Rock God, he’s one of the few that could contend for that title.

  This is unreal.
  
  Baseball Hall of Famer, Joe Morgan has passed away at the age of 77.
  https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/ny-joe-morgan-dies-20201012-bgny6wmacnevfariexhtenhomm-story.html
  
  On Friday (October 9th), New York Yankee’s legend, Whitey Ford died, and now, Houston Astro and Cincinnati Reds star Morgan has followed him.
  
  In the past few months, we have lost six (6) Baseball Hall of Famers: Al Kaline, Tom Seaver, Lou Brock, Bob Gibson, Whitey Ford and now Joe Morgan. The last five, literally within weeks of each other.
  
  This year really sucks.

  These have all been tough, but this one especially hurts me as I live in Ohio, grew up rooting for the Big Red Machine, attended many games and saw Little Joe as the sparkplug for the team. Sadly, the first of the Great 8 to pass.

  "Dink, say goodbye to Felix..." Sad. Hope she didn't die of an overdose of gold paint, since she was so much more than just the gilded girl in the GF title sequence.

  RIP Spencer Davis, founder and leader of the Spencer Davis Group. The group -- one of several British bands that found success as part of the "British Invasion" of American Top 40 radio in the 1960s -- had several hits with a very young fellow named Steve Winwood playing keyboards and singing like a 40-year old. They released "I'm a Man" when Winwood was really not much more than a boy. Spencer is playing the guitar on these tracks...

  And a thought for Samuel Paty, a high school teacher senselessly murdered because he had shown those famous caricatures of Muhammad to his class.
