I could swear that some of these have died more than once

Celebrity deaths of 2007
Every year I'm surprised by obituaries for people I thought were long gone.
I would have bet that Percy Saltzman was calling for mild temperatures and blue skies from his perch above the clouds.
Frankie Laine kept those doggies moving much longer than I'd given him credit for. I figured he reached the end of the ride years ago.
Merv Griffin - didn't he die last year? No, that was Mike Douglas. I got my ancient talk show hosts confused.
It looks like that rat poison they put out finally worked. Joey Bishop, last remaining member of the Rat Pack, died this year.
Evil Knievel shoulda been dead but it appears that he wasn't.
