Maybe so, but Scatman (Crothers) unfortunately died of lung cancer in 1986. He also voiced Hong Kong Phooey and Scat Cat in The Aristocats, singing the theme “Ev’rybody Wants to be a Cat”.

A synopsis of the first episode: “When Geese gets hurt and goes to hospital the other Globetrotters think he was turned into a kangaroo at a magic show. The kangaroo was actually an unknowing accomplice in a jewelry theft. The Globetrotters must find the real Geese and stop the criminals if they can.” Subsequent episodes were less believable.
There are 14 Half Man Half Biscuit albums, plus two roundup compilations, as well as 4 EPs and a handful of one-off songs. No 'Greatest Hits'. Indulge yourself by starting here.

“Going around the world, and comin’ home again…”
Grew up with the Harlem Globetrotters TV series, of course. Spent my childhood believing his name was ‘Matalog’.

Wow. Just 9 days between appearing in the A-Z and shuffling off this mortal coil. Maybe we should have a special table just for that.

Real name Meadow Lemon III, so there were at least two before him.
Delighted to see his widow’s name is Cynthia.

Perhaps his first wife will receive some of the money he didn’t pay her and their children.
