Sad to hear that big band leader, James Last, has died.
His music made millions happy, throughout the world.

Another loss, I cannot see todays music lasting, a bad couple of puns, his music is played quite a lot on BBC local radio.

Sad news - great loss to the music world. We have several boxed sets of his LPs and CDs etc, his distinctive style will always live on. Watched him on TV earlier this year his farewell tour, it was sad as he was seriously ill at that time.

RIP Lasty, when Dubai first began their English speaking tv transmissions there were gaps between the programmes and we had "fillers" mainly James Last, I just loved his Turkey in the Straw.
