Absolutely. An honest to goodness back bencher, who held Power to account.

About the only one in the Party that was genuinely good, honest and reliable.
Now we're just left with the poor quality also-ran oddballs who won't gain any respect, from anybody.

Last of the original line up, I think.

Justin Hayward and John Lodge are still around from the revised (and much more successful it has to be said) second incarnation.

Sad news and end of an era. Last three original members died over a span of just 3 years

RIP Mike Pinder, wrote "Simple Game" who the Four Tops took to chart success.

[FourWheelDrift]

Not hugely known, but actor Terry Carter (95) probably best remembered as Colonel Tigh in the original Battlestar Galactica series.

Mike tickling the ivories with the early R/B line up.

That's a bit of a shock. He was always good at playing a baddie.

If he existed, he would disagree. The least you can do is respect his thoughts on the matter now he cant argue with you.
