ALMA COGAN
English singer Alma Cogan (1932-1966) started her career as a teenager singing at dances and performing on stage. By twenty she had released her first single for HMV and was a regular on BBC's Take it From Here. Known as the the "Girl with the Giggle," her laugh was included in one of her records, she became a media star in the 1950s. But by the 1960s her style started to seem out of date with the changing culture. Cynthia Lennon apparently spoke about how Cogan was the butt of John's critical humor, yet he was completely taken with her when they finally met and they had a long affair. Cogan sadly passed away at the age of 34, but she recorded some tunes at the end of her life in an attempt to appeal to new trends. Her final album included Beatles tracks. She also released this little novelty record, Love Ya Illya (Pye 7N 17108), in her final year under the name Angela & the fans. The song is reminiscent of the wave of "fan" songs at the time such as I'll Let You Hold My Hand and We Love the Beatles. Below: Alma Cogan (Portrait Gallery), with Paul and John, and Love Ya Illya video. Enjoy!

CYNTHIA LENNON R.I.P.
Breaking News: Julian Lennon just announced that his mom Cynthia has passed away. Cynthia met John Lennon at Liverpool College of Art and the couple married in 1962. It was perhaps an impossible task to raise a new family just as Beatlemania exploded. The couple was advised to keep their marriage quiet in case it might hurt John's public image with fans, and Cynthia had to weather an increasingly distant and volatile husband. They divorced in 1968. Cynthia married a number of times and pursued a variety of creative outlets during her life. Her second memoir, John, was published in 2005. Julian has written a touching song and a tribute video was posted on his site this morning. Video and vintage images below. My condolences go out to Cynthia's family and the larger community. Story continues below.
The Liverpool Echo shared some statements today, which I'll add now to Spy Vibe's original post from early this morning. From Paul McCartney (with John and Cynthia in image below): "The news of Cynthia's passing is very sad. She was a lovely lady who I've known since our early days in Liverpool together. She was a good mother to Julian and will be missed by us all, but I will always have great memories of our times together." Ringo Starr tweeted a message of "Peace and Love to Julian. God Bless Cynthia." From Yoko Ono: "I'm very saddened by Cynthia's death. She was a great person and a wonderful mother to Julian. She had such strong zest for life and I felt proud how we two women stood firm in the Beatles family. Please join me in sending love and support to Julian at this very sad time." Gerry Marsden (of the Pacemakers) said he was "shattered" by the news. "Terrible. A dear friend for many years. It's very sad. We send our love and condolences to Julian. She was a lovely lady, a lot of fun. I'm just shattered." Sad to hear another core member of the early Beatles family lost to cancer. The disease also struck George, Neil, Derek, and two other first-wives, Maureen and Linda. As Beatles secretary Freda Kelly said in her recent documentary, what good is all that fame and money- it doesn't cure cancer, does it? George's page at the Oral Cancer Foundation here.
