And... lest we forget... these two geezers...
1.) Hilton Valentine, 21 May 1943 – 29 January 2021
Hilton Valentine, original guitarist and founding member of The Animals, died at the age of 77. In 1963 he was recruited to join The Animals alongside Chas Chandler, Alan Price and John Steel. He went on to play on classics like Baby Let Me Take You Home,
Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood, We Gotta Get Out of This Place, It’s My Life and Don’t Bring Me Down, and on the band's landmark, trans-Atlantic number one cover of the traditional folk song The House of the Rising Sun. “It really was Hilton who
made the early Animals a rock band because I don’t think the element of rock was in the band until we found him," Eric Burdon told Guitar International. "Hilton wasn’t just playing rock‘n’roll, he looked rock‘n’roll."

Was this the infamous "pole guy" from "Sunshine Daydream"?
2.) William ‘Jesus’ Jellett, 6 June 1941 – 8 Jan 2021
William Jellett, aka "Jesus", was a legendary UK music fan known for his frequently naked appearances at UK music festivals throughout the 70s and 80s. The Dorset-born Jellett was a fixture at gigs by everyone from Cream and Queen and to Hawkwind and MotÃ
¶rhead. He famously got his nickname at Blind Faith's Hyde Park show in June 1969, when DJ Jeff Dexter publicly referred to him as "Jesus" over the PA.
