Norman Hunter, Leeds United player, 76 of Covid-19.

― Dan Worsley, Friday, 17 April 2020 11:43 (six years ago)

wp:

A tough tackling centre-half and defensive midfielder, he was nicknamed "Bites Yer Legs" Hunter. The nickname originated from a banner held up by Leeds United fans at the 1972 FA Cup Final against Arsenal; the banner simply read "Norman bites yer legs".

Somebody I recognized but had to check to see what I knew him from--episodes of Room 222 and The Partridge Family, Young Frankenstein and MASH.

Two avant-garde jazz musicians, both of whom recorded for the ESP-Disk label: saxophonist Giuseppi Logan and bassist Henry Grimes. Grimes played with Sonny Rollins in 1962-63 and Cecil Taylor a few years later, then disappeared for three decades before reappearing in the early 2000s.

Don Campbell, 69. born in St. Louis. he invented locking

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKFafJWpiyc

In 1971, Campbell joined the cast of Soul Train once the program arrived in Los Angeles. He was a featured dancer until 1973, when he was removed from the program for requesting that performers be paid.[3] He then recruited other dancers who had been removed for the same reason, and with them founded the Lockers.[4]

RIP Don Campbell.
