Thanx for posting J2ME as I wasn't aware. Sad to hear the news about any of these people passing away but Manuel hit me a little harder. Grew up watching him on Fawlty Towers back in the 70s and still watch it to this day. I feel fortunate to have been able to see him perform.
RIP

"London, UK - Legendary Greg Lake sadly passed away on Wed. Dec. 7th. As a founding member of King Crimson and Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Greg Lake has been a major force in music for over 40 years. He has long been considered a legendary voice and musical powerhouse whose impact changed the landscape of rock and roll. Many simply refer to him as 'The Voice'."

I was floored when I heard about Greg Lake. I read over on Lonn Friend's Instagram acct. that when he saw ELP in the 70's, he was amazed at Lake''s voice. Really sad news.

In the early 90's I watched Lake perform a solo, acoustic version of " From the Beginning " . Just a guitar and a microphone. The guitar and voice skill made for a unforgettable performance. RIP Greg.
2016 has been a heart breaking reminder that we are all just visitors here.

That sounds like it was awesome Irwin Fletcher. I never had the opportunity to see ELP or Greg Lake perform live.

He starred in a whole bunch of movies most of us grew up with, including Midnight Express, Alien, and The Elephant Man.
He was also in a personal favorite of mine : The Hit (1984), co-starring a sublime Terence Stamp and a young Tim Roth.
