'One hit wonder' Eddie Holman is 67 today.  But what a hit!  In my ignorance, I'd always presumed 'Hey There Lonely Girl' was by The Stylistics.  Ooops.  It will have its revenge by being lodged in my brain until next June.     

Jimmy Jones, 2 June 1937 to 2 August 2012

Ok. I know there's more glossy Grace Jones footage, but for once, I can say, 'I was there!'  Happy birthday, Ms Jones!
