Honor Blackman, the first femal star of the Avengers has died aged 94.

I was fascinated with the series when being young, but coudn't get the taste back when watching a rerun a few years back.
Avengers - is that the show that Dianna Rigg had a lead role in eventually? I think so.

And moonbus says Goldfinger. I remember Shirley Bassey belting that theme song out in 1964. wow. She actually did three bond movie theme songs.

Here is Shirley doing it live in 2011 and she still has it!

John Prine, folk singer and song writer, at age 73, of complications due to coronavirus.

I am truly saddened. He was one of the greats.
