Although not entirely shocked, I am sorry to hear that Larry Hagman passed away. I know he was popular in the "I Dream Of Jeannie" tv show BUT IMHO he will forever by known as JR Ewing. http://www.dallasnews.com/news/local-new...-ewing-dies.eceTIS

If I'm not mistaken he had an organ transplant (lung?) a couple years ago. The article said he had cancer, which I assume is what killed him. I watched Dallas in the beginning but not so much otherwise, BUT I had to tune in when all of America wanted to know who shot JR? I remember even Vegas was taking bets on the killer.  Hagman certainly OWNED the JR role. He played it perfectly. TIS

Very sad to hear the news. I had no idea he was 81 years old. I was never a fan of Dallas; I guess I'll always be one of those people who thinks of him from I Dream of Jeannie, though I admit I had my eye more on Barbara Eden than him.
The transplant he had was his liver back in 1995, after years of heavy drinking.
And remember, he was the son of Mary Martin - the original "Nellie" in South Pacific on Broadway, as well as TV's "Peter Pan" way back when.

It's being reported now that Hector "Macho" Camacho, former world champion boxer, has died after being taken off life support systems. Camacho was shot earlier this week. He was 50 years old.
He was (IMO) one of the better lightweights around. I can't say I know this guy and only heard about this story recently. How awful. What's the story behind him getting shot? I feel for the family. What a horrible decision to have to make.  TIS

Not sure, but it appears that drugs were involved. I heard on yesterday's news that nine small bags of cocaine were found on the body of the car's driver (who was killed at the scene). I know Camacho had drug problems in the past, but I don't know if any narcotics were found in his system. We'll probably have to wait for an autopsy to find out anything like that. A real shame.

Earl (Speedo) Carroll, the lead singer of the 1950s doo-wop group the Cadillacs, who later found contentment, plus a measure of abiding renown, as a New York City school custodian, died on Sunday in Manhattan. He was 75.
The cause was complications of diabetes and a recent stroke, said Vito Picone, the lead singer of the doo-wop group the Elegants and a longtime friend.
One of a cornucopia of street-corner tight-harmony groups formed by young black men in midcentury Harlem, the Cadillacs were among the first to incorporate rigorously choreographed dance moves into their performances.
The group, which flourished for about a decade starting in the early ’50s, had hits with “Gloria” and “Speedoo,” whose title is a variant spelling of Mr. Carroll’s nickname.

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

Lilo How funny you mention The Cadillacs, just this past weekend I tuned in to the PBS channel for a DooWop reunion type show and the Cadillacs (don't know if all were original members) were on. Not only that, they sang both Gloria & Speedo.  I would not have known Earl Carroll by name but rather just the group name. Sorry to hear of his passing. A great doo-wop group. TIS

Hey geoff me and sc has 10 dead on the list. Elliott Carter died a while ago. Not so fast..... I have ELEVEN! (Jacques Barzun died last month). Who are they? Exactly... they shouldn't count.  A reminder, though, as the year winds down... AUDIT YOUR LISTS! No one's gonna check all your names for you, so keep track and check all your names on wiki before the New Year...!
