... I hardly know where to start. James Last, the King of easy listening, dead at 86 (http://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/jun/10/james-last-dies-aged-86).
EDIT:
Okay, fine, one or two of my favourites:
Last Will and Testament
Nothing Lasts forever
Morgan Freeman outLasts another one
... etc., etc., etc.

Easy listening had become a bit of a joke by the time the mid-eighties rolled around, but I've always been a bit of a sucker for it. I just looked up this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWAbnF_7eO8) to remind myself of what Last and his band sounded like, and ended up watching the whole thing. Quality.
