The early 1960s saw the arrival of a new wave of British female pop singers, but one led the field in combining her talents as a vocalist with those of a songwriter. She was Jackie Trent, who wrote or co-wrote more than 400 numbers.

Trent, who died on 21 March 2015, aged 74, topped the charts almost exactly 50 years ago with her rendition of Where Are You Now, which she co-wrote with her first husband, the composer Tony Hatch.

Mike Porcaro, the longtime bass player for Grammy-winning rock band Toto, died early Sunday morning at 59 following a battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s Disease).
