Sad.  Still, it recalls the Rolling Stone Record Guide's one-sentence review of Jim Steinman's solo album, "Bad for Good." "Good for nothing, more like it." |

He divided opinion, bless him, but I thought he was an extraordinary songwriter. Hearing Bat Out Of Hell for the first time as a teenager in the early Eighties was a jaw dropping experience. |

A brilliant writer, and mad as a bag of monkeys. Wound up Marvin when he offered Total Eclipse of the Heart to Bonnie Tyler. I shall play lots of his music tomorrow. RIP Jim |

I was a Rollers fan difficult to believe he was 65 RIP Les there will be many ladies of my age wearing black (or tartan) armbands today, including Kim. Funnily enough I am covering the 70s with a group at school and we played the rollers this week. I was definitely not a fan at the time but it stands up quite well over time. |

They played a clip from one of their songs with the news last night - the harmony singing was very good. Of course, at the time, neither l nor my cohort of rockers and progsters, and of course folkies (just me, usually) would have been caught dead listening to the Bay City Rollers. |

My younger sister was a huge Rollers fan - I remember when they played Liverpool Empire and she wanted to go to see them. I agreed to escort her and her friend into town to the concert and meet them again afterwards. The scenes outside the theatre were terrifying and that's from someone who was a regular on the Kop at the time! My wife (who is 7 years younger than me) was also at the concert although I (obviously) didn't know that at the time. There was also the embarrassment of having to buy a BCR album for her birthday and hoping that nobody I knew saw me.

A friend of mine is going to be very upset at this news. A couple of years ago she was involved with putting on a stage show based on Alan Longmuir's book I Ran With The Gang. Here she is with a mix of original band members and those in the cast.

I always wondered if Les was a distant relation. My mum's maiden name was McKeown and I've got several McKeown cousins in Scotland. It's actually an Irish name, though. My mum always used to get annoyed when it was pronounced MacEwan, which is wrong!

What's the correct pronunciation then, Mick? |

I always thought it was McEwan but the old Everton, Villa and Arsenal centre half, now tv pundit Martin Keown is pronounced “Key own”

Same age as me, although he looked far better in boxer shorts that I ever did.... RIP Nick |
