Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Deaths: Sat. Night Fever-- Beatle Connection-- Throat Singing?


AL COURY, 78

Died August 8th. Long-time record exec with RSO Records responsible for success of "Saturday Night Fever" and "Grease" soundtracks. I liked and have both albums. The movies were great also. John Travolta could really get a music craze started back in the day. (Don't forget "Urban Cowboy.")

JACKIE LOMAX, 69.

Died September 15th. British singer who once had members of the Beatles singing backing vocals on his albums, but even so, never hit it big.

KONGAR-OL ONDAR, 51. Died July 25th. Master of throat singing from small Russian republic of Tuva. Recorded with Willie Nelson and Frank Zappa. Now, I'll have to find out what throat singing is.
