HENDERSON, HUNTER, MCNAIR

The Game continues with a trio of celeb obits.

Two points to Brother Richard for the earliest spot on:

•Singer Billy Henderson of The Spinners. He was 67.

•Musician and "Funk Brother" Joe Hunter -- the first hire when Berry Gordy Jr. founded that little thing called Motown. Hunter was 79.

Our friend Fat Jack gets the point for alerting us to the obituary of Barbara McNair, who died over the weekend in Los Angeles. The singer-actress was 72.

Well, that's how I started ...now that I have demonstrated my touch typing skills and turned on a light ...

Although it is mentioned in the article I remember that a photo of McNair was the first photo in Playboy to show frontal nudity ... (and, to think, Attenbourough called us the "hairless ape") ... tastefully of course. Refreshing photo in this age of bikini waxes, bald heads, and interestingly placed tatoos and piercings.

Barbara McNair, for her time, was hotter than doughnut grease. Yes, sir.
