The co-writer of The Sopranos theme tune, musician Jake Black, has died a few days after performing at a festival.

He was taken ill after the show with his band Alabama 3 on Friday and died in hospital on Tuesday.

Black, a Glaswegian, founded the band with fellow singer Rob Spragg in 1995 and they have recorded a dozen albums with a groundbreaking electronic fusion of country, blues and acid house music.

A very good obituary on Niki Lauda.

https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/o...-2019/4392929/

Ron Howard made a film in 2013 called "Rush" that chronicled the classic duel that Niki had with James Hunt.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1979320/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Niki was so courageous after he was nearly killed in a fiery wreck at the Nuburgring in 1976. Severely burned he returned to racing 6 weeks later at Monza and ended up losing the 1976 World Championship to James Hunt by a single point.

Niki was a true legend in Formula 1 and will be missed.

Niki Lauder RIP

Motorsports don't rank high or, to be honest, at all compared to other sports I casually watch or follow. On this occasion I read and watched videos about Niki Lauder. For me, his 3 world championships aside, what I was especially moved by was the respect and legacy he attained during this life from his formula 1 community to his fans and to the younger generation of race car drivers.

A minor (albeit not the best) example of this was soon as I typed Niki Lauder in the youtube search bar and down poured the page results with so many tribute videos dedicated to him.

As one gets older you look at life and people's achievements with different perspectives and I was moved to tears about what his courage and legacy meant to all.

I am also happy to have spent the time in learning about this legendary man and for what he meant to people everywhere.

That last race (in Japan) was under dangerous conditions (fog and rain) and Lauda decided to stop racing (among other drivers) because of that conditions. With 3 points ahead in the overall standing, he knew quite well that he would risk the Championship. Hunt went on in the race and came in third to become World Champion by 1 point ahead of Lauda ...

First woman to read BBC TV news dies

The first woman to read the news on BBC television has died at the age of 93.

Nancy Wigginton, who was better known as Nan Winton, became the first female TV newsreader at the corporation on 20 June 1960.

Winton was an experienced journalist who had worked on Panorama and Town and Around before she joined the television news reading team.

The retired television and radio broadcaster, who lived in Bridport, Dorset, died in hospital on 11 May.

Although Winton was to be the first female BBC newsreader, Barbara Mandell had been a regular in TV news for ITN from 1955.
