No, she thought I was Mark Lamarr, an English comedian and radio DJ. Luckily he was standing five feet from me!
Ok, so someone quite famous mistook you for someone not famous at all ? ( to NZ based ferners )
Gotcha.
Guess you had to be there
Well, there was the time about 15 years ago that three older Pakistani ladies came up to me on the tube and asked if I’d ever been told I look rather like Imran Khan (despite being snow white compared to him)!

So you’re a combination of Snow White, Imran Khan and some DJ I’ve never heard of. The mind boggles

Veteran British Jazz singer Dame Cleo Laine, aged 97.
Bugger. Crossed musical genres with ease and was the soundtrack of many late nights with the missus and a bottle of single malt.
And what a trouper...
In 1958, she married John Dankworth. The couple had two children together. They were married until his death in 2010. On that day, Laine performed at a concert at The Stables to mark the venue's 40th anniversary. She then announced Dankworth's death at the end of the show.

Chuck Mangione, 'Feels So Good' musician and bandleader, dead at 84
"Feels So Good" reached No. 4 on the Billboard singles chart in 1977.
Chuck was certainly no Ozzy Osbourne or Hulk Hogan but I did like that cheesy tune he did, ‘Feels so good’ awesome piece of music
Definitely my favourite flugelhorn player of all time.
RIP

Highly successful in business, I remember his funny ads which he fronted back in the day, they were as iconic to me as the LV Martin ads used to be

I have a faint memory reading years ago that he worshipped the devil. Talked about how it would make him rich.
I can't seem to find any reference to it now though.

@Crazy-Horse was a bit of an urban legend IIRC.
