On the Country side of the music scene: Kitty Wells

Country singer Kitty Wells died today, 16 July 2012.

AP says: 'Her "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" in 1952 was the first No. 1 hit by a woman soloist on the country music charts and dashed the notion that women couldn't be headliners. Billboard magazine had been charting country singles for about eight years at that time.'

According to AP:

Considered a pioneer in the self-help genre aimed at helping readers become more productive in their lives, author Stephen R. Covey had an enormous impact on both the corporate world and the personal lives of millions.
The well-known motivational speaker and author of the best-selling "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People," which sold more than 20 million copies in 38 languages, died Monday at a hospital in Idaho Falls, Idaho, due to complications from a bicycle accident in April, according to his family.

[In financial markets, the common stock in his products ('FC' for "Franklin Covey") is down 2.29% today.]

This truly is, I was just driving last week to hockey and Highway Star came on.... then I went to work the next day and listened to their top tracks on Youtube. Sometimes I forget how amazing music was before auto-tuning, corporate interference and (of course) Bieber....

The 70's rock bands were (are) my favourite music. Just amazing stuff....

A little late and maybe showing my age, Else Holmelund Minarik, author of children's books, died July 12. She's probably best known for the "Little Bear" series illustrated by Maurice Sendak (who passed away back in May).

An example of one of her books (one I have and grew up with):
