64 members of the Alexandrov Ensemble are among the victims of today's plane crash into the Black Sea.

Here is the choir with a heart touching Georgian folk song:

About 15 years ago, my favourite presenter on BBC Radio Ulster, Gerry Anderson, got a CD and started playing it extensively. It was a collaboration between the Alexandrov Ensemble, who were performing as the Red Army Choir, and Finnish band the Leningrad Cowboys.

I absolutely loved them, and it really got me into Russian music.

As I am sure many of you have heard, the Alexandrov Ensemble were on a plane that crashed today shortly after taking off from Sochi, killing all on board.

So, in tribute to them, here are some of their songs that Gerry played:

"Happy Together" by The Turtles

"Gimme All Your Lovin" by ZZ Top

I tried to find their version of "California Girls" by the Beach Boys, but it is not on YouTube. Which is a shame, as it was my favourite after "Happy Together".

EDIT: Just found the studio version of "Happy Together". Much clearer than the LIVE version I linked to above.​

My thoughts go out to the families, friends and colleagues of all those that were killed in the plane crash.

Ah, sorry luckyguy. I started writing my post before you posted your's, but didn't get it finished until there now because I was doing it during adverts in a film.

So, I didn't see your post until I was finished.

2016 continues to be a cruel year for music.

Just got up and saw on the ticker tape on Sky News that probably the most famous person in the world with Cypriot heritage, George Michael, has died at the age of just 53.

Although I was not too sure about George himself, I loved his music. Both from his time in Wham! and his solo material.

I think it started because my first electric keyboard had "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" as it's demonstration piece.

Given the time of year, there is only one song I could possibly post as a tribute to him:

Wham! - "Last Christmas"

My thoughts are with his family, friends and fans.

Today actress Carrie Fisher died after collapsing during a trans-Atlantic flight on Friday. She was 60 years old.

I love the music from Star Wars. So, I don't need an excuse to listen to it.

It may not be the most well known piece, but the following has to be the piece that is used as a tribute to Carrie:

"Princess Leia's Theme"

And I have deliberately chosen a video that shows a lot of clips of Carrie as Princess Leia.

My thoughts go out to her family and friends.

My goodness! Just a day after Carrie Fisher died, her mother, actress Debbie Reynolds, had a stroke and died too. :shocked:

What a horrible time for that family!

In tribute to Debbie, here she is singing in probably her most famous scene (from "Singing In The Rain"):

Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds - "Good Morning"

Has anybody ever skated to this song?

Incidentally, when paying tribute to the Alexandrov Ensemble, I mentioned my favourite radio presenter, Gerry Anderson. Ever since Gerry took ill a couple of years before his death, his sidekick, Sean Coyle, has been presenting the show. And Sean uses a couple of lines from "Good Morning" to start the show.

Anyway, my thoughts go out to all of Debbie and Carrie's family and friends at this time of double tragedy.
