Warren "Birdland" Suttles the last surviving member of the Ravens, passed away on July 24 at the age of 84. Suttles and Jimmy Ricks formed the group in the late 40's and went on to have nine top 10 R&B hits between 1948 and 1952, including their classic take on Ol' Man River. The group is credited with starting the trend of the bird groups (Orioles, Crows, Wrens, etc.).
Suttles left the group for a final time in 1954 and eventually became a lounge manager.
Also passing away is Twyla Herbert, the writer and self-proclaimed psychic who wrote The Gypsy Cried, Lightnin' Strikes, Rhapsody in the Rain and Two Face Have I with Lou Christie. She was 87.
