The French painter Edouard Manet in 1832, heres one of my favourite painters of his: The child Marie-Marguerite ca1859-1862

In 1948 Anita Pointer was born. Leaving a good job as a secretary, she joined her 2 sisters as the 'Pointer Sisters'..check out this classic clip- shes the one rocking the revealing gold top orange pants..Be distracted, sing along, and enjoy...'he's so shy'

The awesome Neil Diamond was born 1941..listen/ watch this..'shilo' with a montage of Neil..memories of learning to play his songs on guitar..carried away with the lyrics..
The same year, Aaron Neville was born, one of 4 brothers (with Art, Cyril and Charles) who became the famous Neville Brothers..still inspiring today..his haunting voice 'tell it like it is' from 1966
Professor Michio Kaku (of Theoretical Physics, City College, New York) making science popular, brilliant mind..

In 1949, John Belushi was born, one of his most famous roles: Jake Blues in the Blues Brothers movie..
Lastly for today, I chose Jools Holland, formerly from Squeeze, has a super popular TV show in Britain..'Later..with Jools Holland' This is a clip of him and Hugh Laurie (as in 'House'!!) playing a piano duet..from 1916, from the chas and dave show..Simply great to see Jools having the time of his life..
Hope you enjoy all those..off to the land of nod for me now..X
