DonLever Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Raquel Welch, star of Fantastic Voyage, One Million Years B.C., dead at 82 | CBC News Raquel Welch, the film actress whose sultry, curvaceous looks made her a leading sex symbol of the 1960s and '70s, has died at age 82, news media outlets reported on Wednesday. Her death was initially reported by TMZ.com, citing unnamed family members, and later by Hollywood trade publication Variety and the French news agency AFP, which cited her manager. Welch came to the wide attention of moviegoers for her role in the 1966 sci-fi adventure Fantastic Voyage, followed by her iconic appearance later that year in the prehistoric drama One Million Years B.C. Although Welch had just a few lines of dialogue in B.C., memorable images of her appearance in a deer-skinned bikini made her a bestselling pinup that transformed her into a global sex symbol. Other screen credits in the late 1960s and early '70s include starring roles in Bedazzled, Bandolero!, 100 Rifles, Myra Breckinridge and Hannie Caulder. The brunette star's portrayal of strong female characters was credited with reshaping the stereotype of the traditional sex symbol, and her rise to fame was also seen as eclipsing Hollywood's embrace of the blonde bombshell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonLever Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) Stella Stevens has died at age 84. She was a popular actress in the 1960's. But like most actresses of that era, she has been largely forgotten over the years.

Gary Rossington, Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Last Original Member, Dead at 71 The founding member and guitarist, who provided the seagull-like slide guitar leads to Skynyrd’s signature “Free Bird,” survived the band’s infamous 1977 plane crash https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/gary-rossington-lynyrd-skynyrd-dead-1209960/ RIP Gary.

I can only guess that it's because of his penchant for using Reggae rhythms......like with this decidedly not soft rock version of Warren Zevon's Werewolves of London: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnstorm Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Here’s an epic performance of Freebird featuring Gary Rossington of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Rossington is at his ultimate best here. Rolling Stones were to follow after Skynyrd that night and no bands were allowed to use the stage apron which extended into the crowd other than the Stones. The apron was designed to mimic the Stones logo of lips and tongue and was put in the concert contract as “ private”. Ronnie Van said screw that and led his guitarists to all move well onto the apron during the Freebird guitar solos. Needless to say , Skynyrd blew the Stones out of the park that day and the Stones were always bitter about this southern USA band showing them up on their own turf. Thank you Gary Rossington for all the great music and memories. Rest in Peace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
