I disagreed with practically every policy position of his, but I quote him often: "A gentleman is never unintentionally rude."

Clarence Carter died. Great Singer! RIP

Being blind didn’t stop Clarence Carter from becoming one of Muscle Shoals music’s most iconic singers. His late ’60s and early ‘70s R&B hits like “Slip Away,” “Patches” and “Snatching It Back” are essential.

I think he's the one who joked about all the cotton fields in Muscle Shoals. Loved his music. Still do.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Marcia Lucas, who won an Oscar as editor of the original 1977 “Star Wars” has died, a lawyer for her family said Friday.

Lucas, who was married to “Star Wars” creator George Lucas from 1969 to 1983, died Wednesday from metastatic cancer, the attorney, Deidre Von Rock, said in an email to The Associated Press. Marcia Lucas died in Rancho Mirage, California, surrounded by loved ones, Von Rock said. She was 80.

Marcia Lucas was the editor on 1983’s “Return of the Jedi” and the pre-"Star Wars” George Lucas-directed films “THX 1138” and “American Graffiti.”

She was also part of the editing team for director Martin Scorsese’s 1970s films “Taxi Driver,” “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore” and “New York, New York.”

Marcia Lucas was often called the unsung here of “Star Wars,” the original film that after sequels, prequels and spinoffs has come to be known by its subtitle, “A New Hope.”

Dennis Hull, who played alongside his brother Bobby during his 13 seasons with the Chicago Blackhawks and helped Canada win the 1972 Summit Series against the Soviet Union, died Friday. He was 81.

Hull, a forward, had two goals and two assists in the eight-game Summit Series held in September 1972, which Canada won 4-3 with one tie. With Canada trailing 3-1 in the series through five games, Hull had a goal in Game 6, an assist in Game 7 and an assist in Game 8 as Canada won the final three games by one goal each to win the series.

The Blackhawks released a statement from chairman and CEO Danny Wirtz:

"The Chicago Blackhawks are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Dennis Hull earlier this morning. Dennis enjoyed a distinguished career built on his scoring ability and consistency, leaving lasting contributions not only to the Blackhawks franchise, but to the game itself.

“Known around the league for his immense skill, toughness and intelligence, Dennis was as dominant on the ice as he was beloved off it. He often drew on his sharp wit and sense of humor to keep the locker room loose, while his warmth and humility made everyone he met feel welcome.
