Deathlist 2020 - not on the list

Bill Withers was never picked in this game.
I like the fact that Ain't No Sunshine, although written in 1971, wasn't a hit in the UK until 2009, after some 17-year-old sang it on Britain's Got Talent. Even then, the re-released single only reached no 40.

I suspect it didn't chart in the UK because the record company issued the Michael Jakson cover of it, instead.

That certainly takes me back. I remember watching it, too, and looking at the picture in the article you linked to, I can see why. A gorgeous trio of fellas.

Stirling Moss F1 driver,
I can only assume all those playing this game had forgotten he was still with us.

I had Sir Stirling Moss on another list.
I can remember him on the Wogan show, I think it was, when he showed the steering wheel of the car he crashed and survived. An incredible man, an amazing career and such a shame he never topped his career with the Grand Prix title.
It is a sad way for TBT to go. I think he was better on panel shows than as a Goodie

TBT was hilarious on I’m Sorry I haven’t a Clue, particularly in singing songs. Clips of him attempting the likes of What Does the Fox Say and Baby Shark are worth checking out on the BBC website.
RIP, Tim

A very busy day.
Peter Bonetti, who I understand was considered one of the greatest goalies ever, if not the greatest, has passed at 78.
I’m no fan of football but even I have heard of him.

This virus has now taken John Horton Conway, the recreational mathematician who gave us among many things the Game of Life.
The irony.

Game stats on Stirling Moss 
He was picked seven times, first in 2007 (by Vip and Wolfticket) and most recently in 2017 by the jon_m.
He was the second-most picked of the nine F1 drivers we've had in Deathlist: Michael Schumacher was picked for the eighth time in the current game.
