Snap - was going to say that - except strictly speaking it's a cover - they probably got more airplay than anyone else. R.I.P. Manny Charlton.

William Hart (vocals for 60s-70s R+B/soul trio Delfonics)
aged: 77
cause: complications during surgery

i always loved their sweet harmonies and falsetto vocals which were not dissimilar to those of The Chi-Lites
they had plenty of hits on the R+B charts in america but not many crossover hits.
my favourite of theirs (and probably their best known single)

Archie Roach
aged - 66
cause: 'a long undisclosed illness'
article: Archie Roach, Aboriginal musician, songwriter and artist, dead at 66 after 'a remarkable life' (msn.com)
Wiki: Archie Roach - Wikipedia
an Australian Aboriginal singer/songwriter
his songs were about his culture, his land, his and his peoples' struggles.
but most importantly they were songs of peace, hope, forgiveness, strength and humanity.
a fantastic artist whose sales figures didnt match those of his popularity here in Australia.
as a tribute, his debut single, the song about the forced removal of indigenous children here by 'the church'.

her Wiki: Judith Durham - Wikipedia
one of the most enduring and endearing voices of the last 60 years.
'stately' and professional until the end.
a class act.
the original line-up from their "farewell tour" in 2013,
her voice was still perfect and a fitting tribute....

just woke up to the sad news of Olivia's passing,
whilst not really a fan she was an icon here in Australia, and the second Aussie musical icon to die in the last two days.
my favourite of hers:

i wasnt a big fan but for a decade she was almost untouchable with the early '70s country thing, the "grease" period in the late 70s and then the early/mid 80s "physical/xanadu" era...
