A list of hits as long as my arm, hugely popular in the 70s. Struggled with his demons finally got and stayed sober in 1991. Rest in peace

A favorite LP of mine in the 70's was the compilation album "Golden Biscuits"

This.
I have brought them up to friends as just something different to listen to and they are always shocked at the number of songs they know.

So many people are dying, not just these famous folks but a few people in my family. It feels like the Rapture. Although, this time of year is when we see the most deaths so maybe its nothing.

When I was young, we had a gathering of families we were close with every year around Christmas (parents picked numbers to exchange gifts).
One year, I requested a Three Dog Night album when I was about 10 y.o. So we get to the big night with probably 50 guests and in front of everyone, I open my present and it is a Lego collection. Half embarrassed but always polite, I thank them for the gift and everyone starts laughing. They tell me to open the box and inside is the Three Dog Night album.
Made me hate opening up gifts in front of people for about 20 years.
