Samuel Gooden (September 2, 1934 – August 4, 2022)

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Sam Gooden, one of the original members
of the Chicago soul group The Impressions and a member of the
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, has died.

His daughter, Gina Griffin, said Gooden died Thursday, a month shy
of his 88th birthday, in his hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee, surrounded by his family.

The Impressions formed in the 1950s after Gooden and brothers
Richard and Arthur Brooks met Curtis Mayfield and Jerry Butler
in Chicago.

Marilyn Monroe (Norma Jeane Mortenson) 
(June 1, 1926 – August 4, 1962)

On August 5, 1962, movie actress Marilyn Monroe was found
dead in her home in Los Angeles. She was discovered lying
nude on her bed, face down, with a telephone in one hand.

Empty bottles of pills, prescribed to treat her depression,
were littered around the room. After a brief investigation,
Los Angeles police concluded that her death was “caused
by a self-administered administered overdose of sedative
drugs and that the mode of death is probable suicide.”

FALL RIVER, Mass. (TND) — August 4, 2022, marks 130 years
since Lizzie Borden’s father and stepmother were killed in their Massachusetts home.

The double homicide remains one of the most notorious unsolved murders in American history.

Borden was accused of killing her father, Andrew, and stepmother,
Abby, in their home at 230 Second St. in Fall River. She was later acquitted but many people believed — and still believe — she
committed the crimes.

On August 3, 1977, “The Spy Who Loved Me,” starring Roger
Moore as the suave superspy James Bond, known for his love
of fast cars and dangerous women, was released in theaters
across America. The film features one of the most memorable
Bond cars of all time–a sleek, powerful Lotus Esprit sports car
that does double duty as a submarine.
