Chuck Berry, per the police department of St. Charles County, Missouri. One of my big regrets is living for years in St. Louis and never attending one of his monthly shows at Blueberry Hill.

Re: Passages
I know he was 90, and we should all be lucky enough to get that far, but man this sucks. I can't imagine enjoying life as much as I do when so much of the music I love and the recording artists I listen to can be traced back to his records.

Re: Passages
Exactly. Without Chuck there would have been no Stones, no Beatles arguably - not much of anything...

He announced he was terminal just days ago in the comments threads for a Lynch interview. Hopefully the documentary about him making the rounds will be as worth the time as his comics.Donald Brown wrote:And now his colleague, Skip Williamson.

Re: Passages
Was about to post this. Another one that hits me hard because I've known Bernie and his wife Liz for several years now due to my comic book industry ties. He was ana amazing artist but also an incredible person. I was saddened when earlier this year his wife announced that Bernie had retired due to complications from his battle with brain cancer. Still, they were optimistic that he would be working on projects and would recover from this fight. Sadly, we lost him.Numero Trois wrote:Bernie Wrightson.

He was absolutely fantastic in Django, Kill! too. Also in those Sergio Sollima spaghetti westerns The Big Gundown (with Lee Van Cleef), Run Man Run and Face To Face.antnield wrote:Tomas Milian.
He had an amazing and varied series of roles for lots of different directors: in Don't Torture A Duckling for Lucio Fulci; La Luna for Bertolucci, one of the leads in Antonioni's Identification of a Woman; in Abel Ferrara's Cat Chaser; Oliver Stone's JFK; the great American political thriller Winter Kills; Syndey Pollack's Havana; in Spielberg's Amistad; and was also the head honcho Mexican general behind all of the drug running in Soderbergh's version of Traffic!
Plus he's in a couple of episodes of the Oz TV series!

including some impressive early work in Italian arthouse films for directors such as Luchino Visconti (Boccaccio 70), Mauro Bolognini (La notte brava; Il bell'Antonio), Francesco Maselli (I delfini; Gli indifferenti) and Valerio Zurlini (Le soldatesse), among many others.colinr0380 wrote:He had an amazing and varied series of roles for lots of different directors:antnield wrote:Tomas Milian.

Maestro Alessandro Alessandroni.
An giant of Italian film soundtracks. Not only was he a great composer, he was most notably responsible for the iconic sound of the Italian western. That whistling you hear in Morricone scores, that's him. The twangy guitar you hear in those Morricone scores, that's him. The choir singing in those Morricone scores, that's him and his choir, I Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni. I Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni featured Edda dell'Orso, the haunting female voice that helped define the Morricone sound.
Other than, perhaps, Bruno Nicoali, there's no one more important to the way early Morricone sounded than Alessandro Alessandroni.
