No worries - I didn't realize that I had one like that on my list, too!
We can add Mitzi Gaynor to the list. Just heard that she passed away at age 93. I think I was the only one who picked her.

Quincy Jones, producer and entertainment powerhouse, dies aged 91 https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/nov/04/quincy-jones-musician-michael-jackson-producer-diesRIP. Many of my favourite songs are produced by him.. Surprisingly no one picked him.

Nice to see he was respected by both Democrats and Republicans. He had to deal with kind of the same problems the incoming President has to deal with. James Earl Carter Jr. was born in 1924 in the small town of Plains: his father was a peanut farm owner, his mother a nurse who had challenged racial segregation to help black women. In 1941 Jimmy was the first in his paternal family to graduate from high school: he went to an all-white school, but his two best friends were African-American. President James Earl "Jimmy" Carter graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1946 with distinction.

Jimmy Carter was a great man. Despite a few missteps during his presidency, he was highly underrated
Notable achievements include:
Camp David Accords (1978): Brokered peace between Egypt and Israel, a landmark Middle East peace agreement.
Environmental Advocacy: Expanded national parks and established the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, protecting millions of acres.
Energy Policy: Promoted energy independence, created the Department of Energy, and pushed for renewable energy development.
Human Rights: Made human rights a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy.
Post-Presidency Impact: Founded the Carter Center, advancing global health, democracy, and conflict resolution, including near-eradication of Guinea worm disease.
But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way
Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away
