I don't think it was meant to do this, but this is ignoring that an actress in her 40s passed away. One that I really enjoyed and one that I'll miss seeing in future projects. Usually there's discussion that might distract on people who have lived sht lives and who gives a damn, but that's not the case with Annie. So, I hope people are actually taking note she unfortunately passed away from cancer.

And Barrett Strong also passed away as posted above and that may have been missed as well. He's also a singer not just a Motown songwriter and you're likely familiar with his song Money. But you've certainly heard of many of the songs he wrote including Heard it Through the Grapevine, War, and several of The Temptations' hit songs.

'I Heard it Through the Grapevine',
'War',

De La Soul was always and probably still is considered the most influential group in it's genre. It's on me that I listened to one of their tracks for the first time today and I have to say I was impressed by what he and his group were doing back then.

May he RIP
