Singer Jackie Shane died last week. I didn't know her until I read her obit in the Guardian, "Jackie Shane: remembering the groundbreaking trans soul singer".
Her understated rendition of "Walking the Dog" (1965) really caught me:
Speaking of obits, it touched me that the Economist wrote an obit for the plucky little Mars rover Opportunity:

I'd never heard of Jackie Shane either, until I saw her obituary. Amazing! I can't believe no one's done a Biopic of her yet.
