Thursday was a total brutal day in for the celebrity world.  Liotta dying hurts a ton.  There was speculation that Ray was not feeling well.  Whether that's true or not I don't know, but I've seen several of his stuff, and that's a rather big loss.  If he wasn't feeling well, he died doing what he does.  Figured he had about good decade or so in terms of new material to produce. 

Tough losses in the music world with Alan White & Fletch.  The Yes drummer passed following a brief illness from what I've read.  It's the second drummer loss in the past three years that was a big part of a classic rock band & had a decent role.  There have been others but I tend to rank Alan White up there with Neil Peart who was a legendary drummer for Rush throughout their history that spanned about a half century.

Joel Whitburn, a Billboard music chart historian who founded Record Research to publish his research, most notably in the "Top Billboard Hits" series (beginning with pop music, but later spreading to country, R&B and then virtually every other genre), passed away Tuesday of an undisclosed illness at age 82.

Some of you may also own one or more CDs in the "Billboard Top Hits" series that was distributed by Rhino Records, and inspired (and at least he had a hand in) by Whitburn's books.
