Shel Talmy was a legendary producer from the 1960s who worked in Britain, despite his being American. His initial and major clients were the Kinks and the Who although he worked with many other acts. He even produced an early mix1 of VdGG's "The least we can do". This morning, the Guardian announced his passing.
From YouTube, I learned earlier this morning of the passing of Peter Sinfield, who was one of the initial members of King Crimson. Sinfield wrote the lyrics for their first four albums; I find some of them brilliant, others are unnecessarily obtuse and there are those that are irrelevant.
Both these people have my respect, but they are very peripheral to my listening habits.
