I stumbled upon my parent's tape of 1984 when I was getting into rock music and while I would never classify myself as a die-hard Van Halen fan or anything, I do own quite a few of their albums.
R.I.P. Good Sir.

Johnny Nash, yesterday at age 80. Where to begin? Actor, singer, record label owner. He sang the theme for the Joe Oriolo Hercules cartoons, recorded Bob Marley songs when he was not known outside Jamaica, gave The Cowsills their first record deal with JoDa records. His biggest hit was probably I Can See Clearly Now in the early '70s, although classics like Nice Time and Hold Me Tight also received a lot of airplay in North America.

Not sure how available those 60s Hercules cartoons were in the States, but if you grew up in Canada they were repeated every day between the 60s and early 90s. Nash's theme song was legendary. I need to research his pop catalog a bit

I'm late finding out about this, but I was saddened to learn that earlier this year in April, Indonesian pop singer Glenn Fredly Latuihamallo passed away from a stroke at age 44. He was one of the singers I took to when I was getting interested in Indonesian pop music back in the early 2010s. He was mostly known for singing love ballads. This is one of his singles:

He was 77. -M I am too young to have seen him in his prime, as I only remember him from his late-career stint with the Giants. His back-of-the-bubblegum-card stats were solid, and he was one of the better 2B of all-time. He is also responsible for the creation of one of my all-time favorite websites, "Fire Joe Morgan", which skewered him, and others, for sloppy and lazy broadcasting. Even though the last new post was more than a decade ago, I still occasionally go back for a chuckle. RIP Joe Morgan.

Another MLB Hall of Famer has passed. RIP to Cincinnati Reds great Joe Morgan. He was 77. -M Morgan played during the period that I probably followed baseball the most closely. I was a bigger Pirates fan at the time, but the Big Red Machine was a ton of fun. Easily one of the two or three best second basemen of all time.

Joe Morgan was great player and one of the best second basemen of all time. Great all around player who was part of the 20 hr and 50 stolen base in one season club. Hw won 2 map awards in back to back seasons.

My earliest memories of Joe were from the '75 series against the Sox. That series led me to dislike the Reds immensely, but I respected the great players that made up the Big Red Machine. (The Reds are now my local MLB team, but even after 17 years here I still can't bring myself to follow or root for them). -M

A far better ballplayer than he was an announcer, but then, how could anyone be that good an announcer? One of the worst trades in big league history sent him from the Astros to the Reds before the '72 season. Astros got Lee May, Jimmy Stewart and Tommy Helms. Reds got Morgan, Cesar Geronimo, Denis Menke, Jack Billingham and the infamous (in Boston, anyway) Ed Armbrister. And the final cog in the Big Red Machine. Reds went to the Series three times in five years and won two in a row in '75-'76. Will always remember that left elbow pumping up and down just before the pitch arrived. And, yes, that dying quail of a clutch single in the ninth inning at Fenway in the seventh game of the '75 Series. "Little Joe" indeed. He was one of the greatest.
