Read the bio and did not realize/retain the fact that the other three members started the Walkmen. Makes their story 3/4's less depressing.

Broadway-TV-film actress Allyn Ann McLerie, who I remember from a handful of Sydney Pollack films, All the President's Men and "The Tony Randall Show." She'd been around long enough to have played Ray Bolger's girlfriend in Charley's Aunt. Didn't know she'd been married to Adolph Green and George Gaynes.

Haven't seen anyone else mention Glynn Edwards, British TV actor (although of course he was in Zulu and played a policeman in a couple of Confessions films).

Dull story - One time (1990 or thereabouts) we had our works' Christmas do in Stringfellows (me neither), it was alright but at one point I decided to go up to the DJ box and request some Stone Roses (I know, I know), dude said "yeah, OK" and about 10-15 mins later he played "Fools Gold". It wasn't until I looked again I realised it was the man himself.
So, why would he be running the DJ decks during a fairly nondescript corporate booking, being fairly low-key himself? I guess he enjoyed the work.
There you go, finished now, wake up..

He lives on, in the fact that being compared to Stringfellows is an obvious claim of misogyyny.
