Would include Oprah Winfrey's 1998 remake of the 1962 classic David & Lisa in that. Wonderfully subtle versatility from Sidney Poitier.

A wonderful actor who truly broke down barriers and opened doors for others to follow him in the industry.

RIP.

Nice words NE, I'll keep an eye out for David and Lisa.

Cheers.

FYI, both versions of David and Lisa (1962 original and 1998 remake with Poitier) are available in full to watch for free on YouTube.

Blimy, 65 isn't old at all. Though, saying that, I though he was already dead and way older than 65.

Damn. I'm not a big fan of his music but I still liked the guy. Big loss.

Robert Paulson? I couldn't have reported it using that name. I mean, I'd do anything for Meatloaf... but I won't do that

Bat out of Hell was part of the soundtrack of my youth, I had the album, so did all my mates. Almost everyone else I knew at school seemed to own it along with my mates older sisters and brothers whether they were into that type of music or not.

Still have my LP plus a CD of it, always makes me smile when think of the time I first realised what Paradise by the Dashboard Light was really about.
