Jim Steinman, of Bat Out Of Hell fame among many other songwriting credits

A real passing the baton moment I think
Busy weekend for the Grim Reaper...
Lee Scratch Perry... Bunny Wailer this year, Toots Hibbert last year - that glorious reggae generation of the 60s and 70s is growing smaller all the time.
