LOTIS POSITION NOW SUPINE
Yesteryear crooner Dennis Lotis has hit his last note aged 97. One of the last pre-rock crooners still standing, he prospered under the tutelage of bandleader Ted Heath before going solo in the mid-50s. He rounded off the decade as a variety circuit regular with the occasional film appearance, but his old-school style faced long odds surviving the Swinging Sixties. He ran an antiques shop from the 70s onward (there’s sure to be a joke about his musical style in that), and found the time to marry his late wife’s niece after the former’s 1997 death. He was picked by Funk Pop a Roll and Morbid Krakatoa’s Playhour.
