Barbara Harmer, British aviator, first female Concorde pilot, died from cancer he was , 57.

Barbara Harmer was the first qualified female Concorde pilot died from cancer he was , 57..

(14 September 1953 – 20 February 2011[1]

Raised in Bognor Regis, a seaside resort town and civil parish in the Arun District of West Sussex, England, Harmer left school aged 15 to pursue a career in hairdressing. Harmer's first experience in the aviation industry was six years later when she left hairdressing to go and be an air traffic controller at London Gatwick Airport. When she took on the job of air traffic controller Harmer decided to study for A Levels, which she had missed out on because she had left school at such a young age. Harmer obtained A levels in Geography, English Law, Constitutional Law and Politics. She then began flying lessons. Once she had gained her Private Pilot Licence (PPL) and then her Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) she became a flying instructor and pilot with a small commuter airline.
In 1984 Harmer joined British Caledonian and flew BAC One-Elevens for three years. She then started flying long haul McDonnell Douglas DC-10. British Airways bought British Caledonian in 1988, four years after Harmer had joined. British Airways employs over 3000 pilots, but only sixty of them are women, and on top of that when Barbara joined British Airways no woman had ever piloted the Concorde. It was at this time that Harmer realised that her ultimate ambition was to fly the Concorde. Only a handful of pilots are hand picked by British Airways to undergo the rigorous 6 months of training that British Airways insists all pilots selected to fly Concorde must undergo. Harmer was finally chosen to undergo this intensive and expensive training in 1992.
On the 25 March 1993 Harmer became the first qualified female Concorde pilot, and later that year she made her first Concorde flight as Captain to New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK).
Harmer died at St. Wilfrid's Hospice, Chichester, aged 57.[1]

Troy Jackson, American basketball player (AND1 Mixtape Tour) died he was , 35.

Troy Jackson  was an American basketball player. The younger brother of former NBA player Mark Jackson, he was a member of the AND1 Mixtape Tour, known by his streetball nickname "Escalade". Jackson was listed by AND1 at 6'10" and 375 pounds.[1]

(January 11, 1976 – February 20, 2011)

Troy Jackson weighed close to 500 pounds (227 kg) as a senior at Hills East High School in Long Island, New York, but his performances at Rucker Park caught the attention of Bill Hughley, coach of Wallace Community College in Selma, Alabama.[2] Jackson enrolled at Wallace, and even though he continued to play at 500 pounds (or more), he received all-region honors as a sophomore. "People wonder how I played at 500-plus pounds. But to me it felt natural," he later said. Jackson's accomplishments in community college led to a scholarship offer from the University of Louisville, though the school demanded that he lose weight. Jackson complied, and by his senior year at Louisville, he had slimmed down to about 363 pounds (165 kg) after adhering to a strict diet.[3]

Jackson only played twenty games for Louisville over two years, averaging 3.0 points per game and 1.6 rebounds per game in a reserve role.[4] However, he became well-known to basketball fans through the AND1 Mixtape Tour, a travelling streetball exhibition which he joined in 2002. With the AND1 Tour, Jackson used the nickname Escalade, a reference to the Cadillac SUV. His teammate Antwan "8th Wonder" Scott told the Herald Sun, "He's a big guy, but he can entertain and he can seriously play."[5] Jackson appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated [6] and was described as a "streetball legend" by the magazine Jet.[7]
Off the basketball court, Jackson worked as an advocate for STD prevention.[7] He died in his sleep on February 20, 2011.[8

Jay Landesman, American publisher, writer and nightclub proprietor, husband of Fran Landesman died he was , 91

Irving Ned Landesman was an American publisher, nightclub proprietor and writer long resident in London died he was , 91.

(15 July 1919 – 20 February 2011

With the Beats

Born in St. Louis, Missouri, the youngest of four children[2] born to Benjamin Landesman, an immigrant Jewish artist from Berlin, and his wife Beatrice,[3] who dealt in antiques.[4] Their son changed his name to Jay after reading The Great Gatsby during his teens.
While running an art gallery and salon in the Little Bohemia district of St Louis,[5] Landesman founded the quarterly magazine Neurotica in 1948, based in New York City from 1949, which became an outlet for the Beat Generation of writers including John Clellon Holmes, Carl Solomon (as Carl Goy), Larry Rivers, Judith Malina and Allen Ginsberg.[6] Dedicated to rather risqué material for its era, "contributors moved among the bases of art, sex, and neuroticism",[7] the magazine closed in 1952 after the censors objected to an article on castration by Gershon Legman[6] who by then had taken over the magazine.
Back in St Louis, Landesman with his brother[8] opened the Crystal Palace nightclub in 1952;[5] the venue was previously used as a gay bar called Dante's Inferno.[9] At Crystal Palce, Lenny Bruce, Woody Allen and Barbra Streisand made early appearances. A musical The Nervous Set, based on a unpublished novel by Landesman, with a book co-written with Theodore J. Flicker,[1] premiered 10 March 1959 at Crystal Palace, St Louis,[10] by now based in Gaslight Square and enjoyed a long run there, but lasted only 23 performances on Broadway.[11] Featuring Larry Hagman in a leading role, the show in New York suffered from mixed reviews.[1]
Despite its overall failure in a more prominent location several of the songs written for the work by his second wife Fran Landesman and the composer Thomas Wolf - "Ballad of the Sad Young Men" and "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most" - have endured.[8] Dedicated to the emergence of the Beat Generation, and sometimes described as the movement's only musical, it has an unusual form with a jazz quartet performing onstage and a downbeat ending.[11] Landesman followed The Nervous Set by collaborating with writer Nelson Algren on a musical version, again featuring lyrics by his wife, of Algren's novel A Walk on the Wild Side which opened at Crystal Palace in 1960.[1] A cabaret review Food for Thought, with the Landesmans working with librettist Arnold Weinstein, opened in St. Louis in 1962 and transferred to Yale.[12]

In London

Landesman had married his second wife Fran in 1950, and the couple moved to London with their two sons in 1964. He hung out with the homosexual Labour MP Tom Driberg and his Filipino companion, a diary entry from 20 July 1964 reads:
A December article by Hunter Davies in The Sunday Times claimed: “There’s a very way-out Salinger family just arrived in London called the Landesmans.”[13] Initially, the only person they knew in London was the comedian Peter Cook, but their social circle expanded in the 'Swinging London' milieu and their Islington home became the venue for hundreds of parties typical of the era.[14] For Dearest Dracula, a musical staged at the Dublin Theatre Festival in 1965, he persuaded actor Vincent Price and choreographer Busby Berkeley to participate.[15]
In 1967 he became artistic director of the short-lived Electric Garden, a psychedelic nightclub, but a Yoko Ono happening led to conflict with the management.[8] Later enthusiasms included macrobiotic food and a talent agency Creative Arts Liberated which had the slogan: "We take the sting out of success and put the fun back in failure!"[1] It only had a brief existence, but the Polytantric Press founded in 1977 was more durable.[9]
Jay Landesman wrote several volumes of autobiography Rebel Without Applause (1987), Jaywalking (1993) and Tales of a Cultural Conduit (2006). The latter book included his novel version of The Nervous Set. Cosmo Landesman's own memoir of his family Star Struck: Fame, My Family and Me (2008) details his ambivalence about them, their self-promotion ("Hell has no hustler like Jay with a new project"), acid-trips and unconventional lifestyle.[15]
The Landesmans were long frank about their preference for an open marriage,[6] and went public in a interview in The Observer in 1979, while Fran Landesman appeared in a television documentary The Infernal Triangle in 1984.[16] Their son would find himself sharing breakfast with his mother's new boyfriend or father's new girlfriend.[17]
Jay Landesman is survived by his wife and their two sons, The Sunday Times film critic Cosmo, formerly married to the journalist Julie Burchill,[18] and musician Miles Davis Landesman, named after the jazz trumpeter whom the couple had known. Landesman's papers before 1999 are housed in the Western Historical Manuscripts Collection, University of Missouri-St Louis.[2]

Malaysia Vasudevan, Indian actor and playback singer, died from heart failure he was , 66.

Vasudevan Nair known as Malaysia Vasudevan was a Tamil playback singer and actor in the Tamil film industry died from heart failure he was , 66.. He was known for singing songs for Indian actor Rajnikanth and many more.

(15 June 1944 – 20 February 2011),

Early life

Malaysia Vasudevan’s parents were from Palakkad. In the early years of the last century Chattu Nair of Ottappalam, Ammalu of Polpulli along with their respective families migrated to Malaysia in search of livelihood. They became labourers in the rubber estates of Klang Valley. After a few years Chattu Nair and Ammalu became husband and wife in an arranged marriage. Vasudevan was born on June 15, 1944 as their eighth child. His surroundings in Malaysia were predominantly Tamil and his life was lived in Tamil, at school and at home.
Chattu Nair was musically inclined and all his children grew with a natural ability to sing and appreciate music. Malaysia Vasudevan had once said that all his family members, except his mother Ammalu, were singers. He first started learning music from his father and later on, his brother taught him. Vasudevan started singing on stage when he was eight. And yes he was interested in acting too.
When Vasudevan grew up he got attached to Tamil drama troupes in Malaysia as an actor and singer. The producers of one of his plays ‘Ratha Paei’ wanted to make it as a film. Vasudevan came with the group to Chennai and acted in the film `Raththa Paei’. He even sang a song for the film under the baton of G.K. Venkatesh for whom Ilaiyaraja was working as the assistant..

Professional career

Playback singer

Malaysia Vasudevan's first major song was in the film `Delhi to Madras' that starred Jaishankar and Srividya. It was a comedy song ‘Paalu Vikkira Padma Un Paalu Romba Suthhama? for the music director V. Kumar. This chance was possible because of his friendship with the film’s producer Pollachi Rathnam. After that he joined Pavalar Brothers troupe which was run by Ilaiyaraja and his brothers.
During a stage performance, music director MSV heard Vasudevan and gave him a small piece of a song in `Bharatha Vilas' (he sang for the Punjabi in ‘Indhiya Naadu En Veedu’) and then a song in `Thalai Prasavam'. The first big break came when Kunnakudi Vaidyanathan made him sing ‘Kaalam Seyyum Vilaiyattu’ in `Kumasthavin Magal'. Vasudevan was rechristened Malaysia Vasudevan by AP Nagarajan in this film.
Later when his good friend Illayaraja stormed the Tamil film industry with `Annakili', he was made to sing in Annakili and after `Aattukutti Muttai Ittu' from `16 Vayathinile’ happened, Malaysia Vasudevan never looked back. Illayaraja backed him until he became a star singer.
Malaysia Vasudevan has sung close to 8000 songs in his three decades of active career out of which most are for Illayaraja. Illayaraja made Malaysia Vasudevan sing songs of all kinds and genre. Every song Malaysia Vasudevan rendered with utmost sincerity and surprised everyone with the range he had.
Soft romantic songs like ‘Indha Minminikku’(Sigappu Rojakkal), ‘Vaan Megangalay’ (Puthiya Vaarpukal), ‘Malargale Nadha Swarangal’ (Kizhake Pogum Rayil), ‘Malargalilay Aaraadhanai’(Karumbu Vil), ‘Kodai Kaala Kaatray’(Panneer Pushpangal), ‘Poove Ilaya Poove’ (Kozhi Koovuthu) Thangachangili Minnum Painkili (Thooral Nindru Pochhu), etc must be some of the timeless favourites of Tamil film music lovers.
Even under the baton of the maestro MS Viswanathan, Malaysia Vasudevan had sung many illustrious songs. ‘Ezhudhugiral Oru Pudhukkavithai’ (Saranaalayam),‘Enniyirundhadhu Eadera’ (Andha 7 Naatkal) and the super duper hits from ‘Billa’ are just a few rare gems.
Sensuous songs like ‘Kanna Thorakkanum Saami’, ‘or ‘Nila Kaayudhu’ and Emotional songs like ‘Oru Thanga Rathathhil’(Dharma Yudhham), ‘Allithhandha Bhoomi Annai Allava’(Nandu), ‘Adi Aadu Poongodiye (Kali), ‘Vaa Vaa Vasanthamey (Puthu Kavithai), ‘Pattuvanna Rosavam’ (Kannipparuvathile) Ponmaana thedi naanum poovodu (Enga oor Rasathi) all came easy to Vasudevan and succeeded in showing some other brilliant facets of the wonderful singer. His largely folksy tunes sung for Shankar Ganesh are also of inimitable class.
Some of the best songs of Malaysia Vasudevan happened at the time when he was considered the voices of Sivaji Ganesan and Rajinikanth. Who can forget the songs of ‘Mudhal Mariyathai’ which were rendered with a rare spirit of genius? And for the Super Star? From Pothuvaga en mansu thangam (Murattukalai) to Aasai Nooru vagai (Adutha Varisu) to many others and there are too many.
Malaysia Vasudevan is like TMS who was content with the popularity achieved only in Tamil. He was of the notion that to sing in other languages he should have known well the nuances of other languages. At a time when not knowing the language is the first preferred criterion to sing in Tamil, Malaysia Vasudevan’s resolve may sound funny to many today.
Malaysia Vasudevan, an iconic singer of the 80s and 90s is no more. Vasudevan worked with many music directors such as M. S. Viswanathan, Ilaiyaraja, Shankar-Ganesh, Deva, A. R. Rahman, and Vidyasagar. After T. M. Soundararajan, he was called as ghost voice for Sivaji Ganesan. His first song was for the film Delhi to Madras. He has sang over 8,000 in Tamil and over 4,000 songs in various other South Indian languages. He has also sung few songs in Hindi.
Malaysia Vasudevan has sung a lot of songs for Rajnikanth. Some of his notable songs for Rajnikanth were Ennama Kannu Sowkiyama (Mr. Bharat) Singamondru Purapattadhe (Arunachalam), Yejaman Kaladi Manneduthu (Yejaman), Agaya gangai,oru thanga rathathil (Dharma Yutham)and many others.
He has also lended voice for a few albums, the most notable among them is Disco Disco (1987), a collaboration with composer Dilip (A R Rahman) and playback singer K. S. Chithra. The album is noted for being the first album production of A. R. Rahman.[2] Though it didn't become much popular, Disco Disco Vol 2 was also released later.
