Angela Morley, born Wally Stott, has died aged 84. He was responsible for the musical backing in the Goon Show, and then bore much responsibility for the lush orchestral backing on Scott Walker's LPs 1-4. (he/she was one of the most interesting contributors to the documentary 30th Century Man)

He then emigrated to America, re-inventing himself (quite literally, as they say) as Angela Morley, and worked on - among others - the Dallas and Dynasty themes.

You can keep the surgery, but we should all live such full lives:
