A tribute to David Carradine, Tenniel Evans and Shih Kien
Welcome to the http://www.lastingtribute.co.uk/ video newsletter.
Veteran actor Tenniel Evans died at the age of 83 this week.
Among his innumerable television and theatre credits, his role as Able Seaman Taffy Goldstein on the BBC radio comedy The Navy Lark was his most fondly remembered part.
The Navy Lark, which featured a host of comic talent, is still broadcast on BBC Radio Seven.
Martial arts fans were this week remembering both David Carradine, who starred in the cult series Kung Fu and blockbuster Kill Bill films and Shih Kien who was Bruce Lee's adversary in Enter the Dragon.
Its been a sad week for music fans with a number of top players and producers leaving us.
Eighty-year-old Ron Richards produced The Beatles debut single, Love Me Do, and was also known for his discovery of The Hollies.
On the other side of the Atlantic, Barry Beckett, keyboard player with the great Muscle Shoals Studio backing band, who also went on to produce Bob Dylans Grammy-winning album Slow Train Coming, also passed away.
Folk singer-songwriter Kenny Rankin also worked with Dylan, playing guitar on the classic Bringing It All Back Home in 1965.
Meanwhile, bass player Hugh Hopper was re-shaping rock with jazz fusion outfit Soft Machine. He died aged 64.
American Huey Long was another great jazz guitarist, but at a hundred-and-five he was best remembered as the last surviving member of pioneering vocal group The Ink Spots.
In sport this week Stoke City mourned the passing of former player turned cricket umpire Alan Philpott and in Wales, Swansea RFC paid tribute to international scrum-half Haydn Tanner.
Finally, Fathers Day is approaching on Sunday, the twenty-first of June. If your father is no longer with you, you can still mark the occasion by planting a tree in his memory with Lasting Tribute.
