I would like a list of the DEAD PEOPLE to have hit #1 single in the UK (4 Viewers)

[AGinAg (37)]

Louis Armstrong

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I say no - they aren't credited.

I'm not willing to give credit to all of Band Aid II. Chris Rea especially.

What about Technotronic?

 

[Man in a Hamster Wheel]

Oh my Is Sir Cliff finally making no bones about it anymore then?

 

[nink in the sink]

Brian Connelly
John Denver
Barry White
Telly Savalas
Richard Wright

That takes us into the 80s where they become a bit thin on the ground.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

He admitted not so long ago, he lives with a Priest.

 

[Madison]

Who's Brian Connelly?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Who's Brian Connelly?

Google provides nothing.

 

[lolly]

Brian Connolly was one of Sweet

 

[AGinAg (37)]

OH.

 

[Madison]

Exactly why bands don't count.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

How are the stars of Band Aid doing?

 

[octophone]

*dubious*

Chef

I don't think that's dubious...Issac Hayes played Chef and was the vocalist on the record. Plus, they killed him off in the series, so...

 

[octophone]

...although The Young Ones were killed off in their series too so that's a SHIT argument, Octy.

I'd forgotten issac hayes was dead.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Donna Summer
Whitney Houston
Davy Jones (Monkees)
Scott McKenzie

 

[Man in a Hamster Wheel]

Robin Gibb (as part of the Bee Gees)

 

[Eileen]

This is by no means definitive but, since 18/10/2009 we've had:

Andy Williams
Brian Hibbard (Flying Pickets)
Jet Harris (Shadows)
Johnny Preston
Bobby Farrell (Boney M)
Eddie Fisher

 

[Eileen]

CLIVE DUNN

 

[Man in a Hamster Wheel]

Renee (and Renato)

For real? I saw a brand new documentary on Christmas Number Ones on the Beeb over Christmas and she was a talking head (at least the woman who did the original vocal, not the model hired in the video). Unless it was old footage, but they had the likes of Alexandra Burke and the Military Wives pop up too so most of it was definitely filmed just recently.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

The man WHICHEVER ONE THAT IS, is the DEAD ONE.

 

[Man in a Hamster Wheel]

Ah, that'll be Renato. Though amusingly I've seen them sometimes referred to as René & Renata.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

David Bowie
Prince

 

[Eileen]

I really need to update this spreadsheet

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Demis Roussos

Val Doonican, Percy Sledge and Diane Charlemange so close.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Errol Brown
Ben E King

 

[Sharla]

Victoria Wood

 

[Eileen]

Victoria Wood

Very good knowledge! Although she's not normally listed as being one half of a double a

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh the bside of The Stonk. At the time it was an official double A, but history as re-written that, such was the ultimate success of The Stonk.

 

[Penelope]

Cilla Black
Joe Cocker
Slim Whitman

 

[VoR]

I had no idea about this, and I'd never heard 'The Smile Song' before now. Not exactly her finest hour, was it?

Amy Winehouse
Eva Cassidy (duet with Katie Melua)
Falco


Natalie Cole was so close, as was Kirsty MacColl.

What was Amy Winehouse's #1 single?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Also Falco was in the very first post.

 

[Breathe]

I thought Valerie got to #1, but I could be wrong.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I thought Valerie got to #1, but I could be wrong.

You are of course, as ever utterly wrong.

 

[Man in a Hamster Wheel]

"Valerie" peaked at #2, her highest ever. Meanwhile, Pixie Lott has had THREE Number Ones.

 

[Sharla]

Swings and roundabouts though, Amy Winehouse was never voted off Strictly Come Dancing despite being the bookies favourite.

 

[PJL]

...although The Young Ones were killed off in their series too so that's a SHIT argument, Octy.

Of course Rik Mayall is no longer with us IRL, so that's another one on the list.

 

[PJL]

And Lou Reed as well.

 

[Shirley]

Vera Lynn is 99
