"Carefree Highway"
"Early Morning Rain"
"The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"
Saving the best (despite the whitewashing of history) and longest for last, "The Canadian Railway Trilogy"

For those not inclined to click the link, she was the original singer of "The Girl from Ipanema". (Not the Girl herself, she died back in the great celebrity purge of 2016, IIRC.)

Reported in the catalog for Bud's Art Books (and confirmed by Wikipedia):
John Romita Sr. (1930-2023)
John died in his sleep on Monday [12 June 2023]. He was born in 1930. A real comics legend, who started with Atlas (Marvel in the 1950s) drawing horror, war and romance, he worked on the revival of Captain America for three issues in 1954.
He began working exclusively for DC Comics from 1958–1965 and was the artist for many of their romance comics. During these years, Romita further developed his ability to draw beautiful women, which he later became well-known for.
Romita joined Marvel in 1965, initially drawing Daredevil. In 1966, Spider-Man artist and co-creator Steve Ditko left Marvel, and Romita was chosen by writer Lee as the new artist. Within a year, The Amazing Spider-Man rose from Marvel's second-best-selling title to the company's top-seller. Romita brought a new romance style to Spider-Man comics that soon became the new house style for the character. In June 1973, Romita was promoted to Marvel's art director and heavily influenced the look of Marvel comics throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
He is credited with co-creating characters including Mary Jane Watson, the Punisher, Wolverine, and Luke Cage. Romita is the father of John Romita Jr.

RIP Sue Johanson, age 93.
A description of her career might be considered NSFW in places where sex education in schools is frowned upon... so I'll point folks at her Wikipedia page instead. TL;DR: She wrote three books and a weekly newspaper column, all offering sex education. She was also the host of the call-in show Sunday Night Sex Show (Canada) / Talk Sex With Sue Johanson (USA).
