He was just 62 and is buried in Porokhovskoye Cemetery beside his Dad.
Just saw a picture of the late Mr Prigozhin beside one of the Pope. They could be twins! Or maybe there's anothe reason why they were never seen together... >jawdrop

As good an example of any of a comedian who was of his generation and wouldn't get houseroom on the tv today. More's the pity.

Still true though. How much stuff from those days has stood the test of time? Of course, in thirty years time those of you who are still around will look back and say either, 'It as all great back then' or 'It was all rubbish back then'. Comedy is so related to culture, as culture changes, the past looks different; sometimes better, sometimes worse.

Yep, I do tend to overthink things. :roll:

Roger Whittaker has bid his last farewell.

He could have sung the Yellow Pages and it would have sounded great.
