Very sad to hear this news. I saw the Animals on the 1964 Chuck Berry tour, and was impressed with their sound. RIP Hilton

Sad indeed. Lonnie Donegan was in his band, and recorded the record which started the Skiffle boom, which in turn led to many of our favourite groups. RIP Chris.

Les McKeown, now that is a shock and BJ Thomas is that the singer who sang Raindrops Keep falling on My Head. It is so funny that I did not even know that John Davis provided vocals for Milli Vanilli, although I know of the trouble with the two dancers not singing on the records.
RIP to them all.
