Jerry Lee Lewis, the piano-pounding, foot-stomping singer who electrified early rock ‘n’ roll with hits like “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On” before marital scandal derailed his career, has died, according to a statement from his representative, Zach Farnum. He was 87.

Lewis passed away at his home in Desoto County, Mississippi, south of Memphis, the statement said. Farnum told CNN that Lewis died of “natural causes” when reached by phone.

Virginia McLaurin, Sharecroppers’ Daughter Who Danced With the Obamas, Dies
“I thought I would never live to get in the White House,” the centenarian said during a 2016 meeting with the first couple. A video of the encounter made her famous.

By Mike Ives
Nov. 16, 2022 Updated 10:18 a.m. ET

Virginia McLaurin, who was born into a family of Black sharecroppers in the Jim Crow South and took a star turn as a centenarian when she danced with the Obamas at the White House, died on Monday.

Ms. McLaurin had been receiving hospice care and died peacefully in Maryland, where her son lives, according to a statement from her family and Deborah Menkart, a friend who helped arrange her White House meeting with the Obamas. She was 113 by her own accounting but did not have a birth certificate.

Hogan’s Heroes was my husband’s favorite television show. He used to watch it with his father who had been a POW in Germany during WWII.

Did you know that several of the cast had real connections to Germany and the war. Clary was Jewish in real life and was deported to a Nazi concentration camp, but survived by using his talent in singing and dancing in shows. Virtually all of the Nazi characters were played by German Jews who had either fled or survived the war.

I’m pretty sure that is their age at the time of the picture - the debut of “Cheers.”

And unless I missed some news, only Colasanto (Coach, the older bartender) has died. And he died pretty early in the show’s run.
