Linda Lavin, geez guys…

Of the original "Alice" sitcom cast, only Polly Holliday, who played Flo, is still alive. Even Alice's kid is dead.

Brenton Wood, the soul singer and songwriter known for catchy, upbeat hits like 'The Oogum Boogum Song' and 'Gimme Little Sign,' has died at 83.

So sad, he was only 32.

I get the point you’re making but the idea that MAGA people would identify, much less like, any French politician (even one they ideologically align with on much) is giving them so so so much credit.

Been listening to some of Brenton Woods output recently and "Gimme Little Sign" is seriously stuck in my head at the moment.  Stephen Thomas Erlewine once opined

It's hard not to hear Brenton Wood's biggest hit, "Gimme Little Sign," and not be convinced that it very well might be the greatest single ever cut. It relies on no one thing – the song is slinky, surprising, and seductive, blessed with a perfect production (the organ break in the middle is positively, eerily beautiful) and a wonderful, understated performance by Wood, who proves with his smooth, sure-handed delivery that he is one of the finest soul singers of his generation.

Anita Bryant

Yeah, I thought she was already, too.

And if she was alive, would have thought much older given how long out of the spotlight.
