Here's a racing (cars) legend you don't hear much about. Till he dies. Dan Gurney won all three championships during his career.

Hugh Masaklela was a giant all over the continent of Africa, from south to north, and east to west. Here's that Mandela tribute song. He plays flugelhorn instead of trumpet, and the lead guitarist is Ray Phiri who also recently passed on. That concert was in Zimbabwe, and was part of Paul Simon's "Graceland" tour.

A couple Peace Corps Volunteers *** knew attended the concert

She's talking with Terry Gross on "Fresh Air" right now, an archived talk about her life.

She was intense, and well spoken, and surprisingly candid. 1989 Interview.
