Alan Rankine (The Associates).

64. To be knocking out stuff like "Party Fears Two" way back was next level.

Itaian football maestro Gianluca Vialli.

I remember him in his prime for Juve, a class act and a real handful to play against. Managed Chelsea and Watford later on and was a scholar of the game and dapper gentleman pundit.

58. Cancer.

Damn.

She crammed a lot in and outlived her dad. I hope I can say the same.

I just recently discovered Sadistic Mika Band, they have some stuff.

Didn't realize Masayoshi Takanaka was in that band, he's known in Brazil for all the covers he's done of Jorge Ben and Pepeu Gomes tracks, and for playing that crazy surfboard guitar.
RIP to Yukihiro Takahashi, his albums are constantly recommended to me by the Algorithm™

RIP David Crosby. Salty dude for sure - but the songs... cowabunga, dude.

Not my lane by any means but I do sometimes listen to "If I Could Only Remember My Name" on the recommendation of @RAJ and it passes the vibe check. He was obviously a gifted musician and had a sharp wit. Also turns out that his manager is an old acquaintance from my digging days. Safe travels Croz.

Burt Bacharach, aged 94, RIP you absolute GOAT

Absolute banger : (They Long to Be) Close to You. The Carpenters one.

Everyone knows a BB tune. For me, the signature move is the melody is always written for the human voice. And the tastemiester bab-bah horn arrangements. I read all the obits and never knew he'd gone back so far as Marlene Dietrich and been married to Angie Dickinson, or that his Asperger's daughter killed herself. For all the fame, there's always a hint of tragedy in the wings, right?

Lachrymosity-R : "Close to You" reminds me of my late mum. Even before she passed, I knew this would be the tune that would always kick me right in the feels and then once more for spite, when she wasn't going to be around anymore. I remember her singing this to me at probably two or three years old. One of my earliest memories.

Thanks Burt!
