  Tomorrow (19th April) would have been my late granddad's 94th birthday. Strange to think its been over seven months since his passing and a year since we were at his house having a low key celebration for his 93rd

  In France, two icons of the 60s and 70s have ided recently. The first one was TV and radio host Anne-Marie Peysson :

  I watched her in those (rare) evenings where I was allowed to watch TV when I was a kid.
  
  The second one is Richard Anthony, who started his career covering American hits before doing more original material, just like most of the "Yéyé singers" of the 60s :

  Here is his biggest success :

  In the Bond community I suspect his best remembered line will be:
  
  "In Japan, men always come first. Women come second"

  Also, I stand corrected about his most remembered line in Bond. That will officially be the "stainless steal" moment in FYEO.

  Sad news regarding a Bond voiceover legend - Robert Rietti. There was a lovely write-up obituary in The Times for this gentleman.

  Sad to hear of the passing of Ben E. King. His work, especially "Stand By Me," will survive for all of time for its great message, a message that music and their artists in general symbolize to heal us and makes us join together. RIP to another one of the masters.
