It wasn't unexpected, as tumour was found years ago, and she hasn't been able to gig since 2016, but it's still sad.

I recall him talking about arguing with Spike Lee that labelling his script for Do The Right Thing as "Pizza-Man" was racist!

Hell, his Once Upon a Time in America role, brief as it is. Totally forgot he was in it until I saw it again this summer -- just a short sequence, but a classic profane, raging and hilarious performance.

Rockabilly also-ran Jack Scott, best known for the song "The Way I Walk," which both Robert Gordon (with Link Wray on guitar!) and the Cramps covered.

RIP. Soon as I saw the word Broadway there I thought “Gemini.”

Also RIP Jack Scott. Love that tune and got to see Robert Gordon do it live once, albeit with Chris Spedding instead of Link Wray on guitar, which was still pretty cool.

Lidsville U.K. (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 13 December 2019 16:48 (six years ago)

that tune being “The Way I Walk,” don’t know from “Geraldine.”

Lidsville U.K. (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 13 December 2019 16:48 (six years ago)

I saw Gordon with Spedding once, too, at the Lone Star Roadhouse in NYC.

RIP Danny Aiello. His performance in the @DavidKoechner penned "Hi-C and Turkey" sketch on SNL is one of the all-time greats. #SaigonWhoores https://t.co/KBoya5eWxU pic.twitter.com/UTv3Lypcvv

Other notable works

Kingsley (with Perrey) is also credited with composing the song "Baroque Hoedown", released in their 1967 album, used by Walt Disney Productions for the Main Street Electrical Parade at its theme parks; and the song "The Savers", best known as the theme for the game show The Joker's Wild.

No! I saw him doing a Q&A session at the BFI a couple of years ago after a screening of the amazing Psychomania, he was very entertaining and didn't seem to take himself too seriously.
