Snap - was going to say that - except strictly speaking it's a cover - they probably got more airplay than anyone else. R.I.P. Manny Charlton.

William Hart  (vocals for 60s-70s R+B/soul trio Delfonics)

aged:  77

cause:  complications during surgery

the article:  Delfonics lead singer William Hart dies at 77 (msn.com)

Delfonics Wiki:  The Delfonics - Wikipedia

i always loved their sweet harmonies and falsetto vocals which were not dissimilar to those of The Chi-Lites 
they had plenty of hits on the R+B charts in america but not many crossover hits.

my favourite of theirs (and probably their best known single)

Archie Roach

aged -  66

cause:  'a long undisclosed illness'

article:  Archie Roach, Aboriginal musician, songwriter and artist, dead at 66 after 'a remarkable life' (msn.com)

Wiki:  Archie Roach - Wikipedia

an Australian Aboriginal singer/songwriter
his songs were about his culture, his land, his and his peoples' struggles.
but most importantly they were songs of peace, hope, forgiveness, strength and humanity.
a fantastic artist whose sales figures didnt match those of his popularity here in Australia.

as a tribute, his debut single, the song about the forced removal of indigenous children here by 'the church'.

JUDITH DURHAM  vocals for The Seekers

the article:  Judith Durham, The Seekers lead singer, dead at 79, six decades after the formation of the group (msn.com)

Seekers' Wiki:  The Seekers - Wikipedia

her Wiki:  Judith Durham - Wikipedia

one of the most enduring and endearing voices of the last 60 years.
'stately' and professional until the end.
a class act.

the original line-up from their "farewell tour" in 2013,
her voice was still perfect and a fitting tribute....

just woke up to the sad news of Olivia's passing,
whilst not really a fan she was an icon here in Australia, and the second Aussie musical icon to die in the last two days.

my favourite of hers:

i wasnt a big fan but for a decade she was almost untouchable with the early '70s country thing, the "grease" period in the late 70s and then the early/mid 80s "physical/xanadu" era...
