Where all the lights will go out one by one


RIP, Abdul “Duke” Fakir, last surviving founding member of The Four Tops

On this Tacky Music Monday, I thought I'd pre-empt my traditional roll-call of the great, the good and the not-so-good who left us this year with a little collection of memories of some of those departed - starting with two that probably don't quite fit the bill of "tacky", but I'm featuring them nonetheless...

Duane Eddy:

Alfa Anderson:

Betty Veldpaus:

Jimmy James:

Martin Lee:

Next up, THE LIST...

  2. Some fun tunes this Monday!!! And they helped even though I don't need the pep...how bad can a two-day work week be? One good thing about the holiday falling mid-week.

    1. It is quite a "peppy" selection, isn't it? I need it even less, as I am only back in on Thursday... Mercifully short week. Jx

  3. Unfortunately, you have the Temptations there instead of the Four Tops. Both Motown though, and both Fab.
