My brother Howard alerted me to two more celebrity demises. Yahoi Kusama (age 97) was a Japanese pop artist, known as the Polka Dot Queen. Howard said, in his text alert to me, "The only time I have been to a Prada store is when she did the windows here in SF years ago."
Here's a short Tate bio of her:
He also alerted me to the death of Jaye P. Morgan (age 94). She hit the scene as a singer, with "That's All I Want From You," which made it all the way to number 3 on the pop charts:
Not a great song, hasn't really stood the test of time, but hey whatever.
She's better known as one of the judges on The Gong Show. The tone of the show was madcap and unpredictable but here's a clip of her going further than anyone could have predicted. Gene Gene the Dancing Machine is onstage doing his thing and Ms. Morgan is on the side dancing around, then taking off her jacket, then unbuttoning her blouse, then flashing her boobs! On live daytime television!
