Roy Skelton,

Died on June 8th 2011, aged 79, provided the voices for many characters, notably Zippy and George, the much-loved puppets in the popular children’s television show Rainbow; he was also one of the original Daleks in Dr Who.

R.I.P. Darryl Pandy, vocalist on "Love Can't Turn Around", a hit for Farley 'Jackmaster' Funk in 1986 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-L1aoHiRN0

He also had a much smaller hit in his own right the same year with "Animal Magnetism" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQQgenAINPE

Also Mick Karn - http://www.mickkarn.net/ :(

That is a huge loss :(

i know this is old news but i couldn't believe this...i was listening to some tracks in the car when my mate said "it was a shame" and i didn't know what he was talking about. 

RIP Mick - a legend in my CD collection  :(
