For a while he was huge. He entered popular culture, even saw him on Austin Powers making fun of himself
Obviously I had heard of him, but that's the only time I have seen him. But any celeb happy to be part of a piss take gets my tick

Much like Harry Belafonte I wasn’t actually aware he was still alive until recently.
In any case RIP, he did some nice croony soft rock which was pretty easy on the ear.

He was really influential musically in his day and helped define folk-rock in the 70's/80's. People like Jim Croce, Jonny Cash, Jimmy Buffet and Bob Dylan all rated him and his songwriting highly

WWE Hall of Famer 'Superstar' Billy Graham Dies at Age 79
WWE Hall of Fame wrestler "Superstar" Billy Graham died on Wednesday after various health issues, his family told TMZ Sports.
One of the very original larger than life wrestlers.
At his peak he was so jacked he looked like a cartoon character. I remember him in the 80s as a commentator and Manager.
RIP Superstar.

Jim Brown, football great and activist, dies at 87
Jim Brown, one of the greatest professional and college football players of all time, "passed peacefully" in his Los Angeles home on Thursday night, his family said.
I wasn't born when he played, but they say he was one of the greatest running backs ever. I remember him in the Dirty Dozen though, it was probably quite a strong role for a black man in America at that time. He was one of a crop of prominent socially aware black athletes at the time, Ali, Abdul Jabar among others.

Well that sucks. Rourke was amazing with the Smiths. Prominent bass that somehow managed to fit in with perfectly with whatever Marr was doing
