    Canadian Goldy McJohn, founding member of Steppenwolf, has died at 72



    The keyboard player, whose given name was John Goadsby, died on Tuesday of a heart attack
    McJohn and husky voiced lead singer John Kay were among the founding members of Steppenwolf. The group, which also included Canadians Jerry Edmonton on drums and Nick St. Nicholas on bass among its core members, got its start in Toronto as the Sparrows.

    RIP Glen - such an amazing life, giving pleasure to so many people over decades and decades.

    His last recorded song is a heartbreaker... but so beautiful.

    The family confirmed it.

    Well, he gave me a lot of joy throughout my childhood and early adulthood - I loved his sheer goofiness and comedic genius - wonderful clean humour.

    RIP Mr. Lewis

    Lots of his movies are on YouTube

    http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/19/entert...bit/index.html

    (CNN)Comedian and civil rights activist Dick Gregory, who broke barriers in the 1960s and became one of the first African-Americans to perform at white clubs, died Saturday.

    He was 84.
    Gregory recently rescheduled an event in Atlanta because he was hospitalized. He died in Washington, his son posted on social media without giving details.
    "The family appreciates the outpouring of support and love, and respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time," Christian Gregory said. "More details will be released over the next few days."
    Gregory satirized segregation and racial injustice in his acts, and was arrested several times in the 1960s for joining civil rights rallies.
    He was relatively unknown until 1961, when the prestigious Playboy Club in Chicago asked him to fill in for comedian Irwin Corey one night.









    This comedian single-handedly changed stand-up 01:21



    Until that night, he said in a biography on his website, he had worked at small clubs filled with black audiences.
    His gig as Corey's replacement was successful. After winning over a majority white audience that night, the Playboy Club offered him a three -year contract, turning him into a headline performer.

    Jay Thomas, Actor on ‘Murphy Brown’ and ‘Cheers,’ Is Dead at 69

    Between “Mork & Mindy” and “Murphy Brown” his most prominent role was a recurring spot on “Cheers” in the 1980s as Eddie LeBec, an ice hockey player who was married to Carla Tortelli (Rhea Perlman), a waitress at the Boston bar of the show’s title.

    He also pursued a radio career, even as he developed his acting side. Most recently he had a show on SiriusXM satellite radio.

    Thanks for posting the pic @Natalka . I saw the headline on the news last night and recognized the name but wasn't sure who the actor was.
