Burt Bacharach

Dude had some legendary jams

[Grain Bastard]

Maybe not a celebrity to everyone but I just heard that Dominic Hawken has passed away.

 

If you watch sonic state then you will know him from that or maybe from an East 17 song. 
 

I met him once and was convinced he thought I was someone else how nice he was towards me but he didn’t, he was just simply a really friendly person who happily chatted synth stuff with anyone who shared the same interests.

 

Fly High Mr Wiggly - RIP

Born David Jolicoeur, Trugoy the Dove helped De La Soul become one of the singular, most innovative rap groups in history.

Trugoy the Dove, co-founder of the legendary rap group De La Soul, has died. The group’s rep confirmed the Long Island MC’s death to theGrio. He was 54.

A cause of death has not been disclosed at this time. Trugoy, born David Jolicoeur, was noticeably absent from the Grammy Awards’ hip-hop tribute performance last week that featured De La Soul groupmate Posdnuos.

I believe Telecom Breakdown was one of the first, if not THE first interactive CD-ROM music album. They really laid the groundwork. Plus they shot off missiles in civilian airspace, respect.

He apparently beat up a lot of ladies. Great character actor but the dude sounds supremely toxic.
