No 80s upbringing would be complete without VH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivanhoe Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Late 70s for that matter (yeah, we all think of VH as being a quintessential 80s band, but they got big right before the turn of the decade). What a massive impact their first album had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That VH didn't get lost in the lineup is truly a testament. Edited October 6, 2020 by DKTanker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think about the musical chops, style, image, and all that, their debut was like a trailer for 1980s rock. Eddie and Valerie Bertinelli were the ultimate LA glam-rock couple.

Then I read she was a party girl and heavy into the drug scene with Eddie. Broke my heart in a different way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivanhoe Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Oh man, another one; https://nypost.com/2020/10/06/johnny-nash-i-can-see-clearly-now-singer-dead-at-80/ Quote Singer Johnny Nash, known for the 1972 hit “I Can See Clearly Now,” died Tuesday. He was 80. His son confirmed his death to CBS Los Angeles, noting he passed at home. Nash died the same day as guitarist Eddie Van Halen, who had been battling cancer. Born John Lester Nash, the Texas native sang at churches growing up in Houston and made his professional debut in 1957 with “A Teenager Sings the Blues.” His debut on the charts came in 1958 with a cover of Doris Day’s “A Very Special Love.” Nash later went on to reach megastar status with “I Can See Clearly Now,” which has sold more than 1 million copies since its 1972 release. His version of "I can see clearly now" is THE perfect version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soren Ras Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Damn. So many memorable characters and throughout he was always clearly Sean Connery. Not many careers would have survived going from James Bond to Zardoz. But he just went on to Daniel Dravot and so many others. RIP -- Soren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RETAC21 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Great actor, who had the good sense to come to Spain to live in retirement and leave when he was fed up with being recognised. A guy that could act in Zardoz, and still go out, just that marks him as a great actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
