November 2022 Deaths: Takeoff, Chrysostomas and Cook

**  TAKEOFF, 38

A rapper best known for his work with the Grammy-nominated trio Migos.

Died November 1.

**  ARCHBISHOP CHRYSOSTOMAS II, 81

Outspoken leader of Cyprus' Greek Orthodox Church whose forays into the country's complex  politics and finances fired up supporters and detractors alike.

Died November 7.

**  JEFF COOK, 72

Guitarist who co-founded the country group Alabama and steered them up he charts with such hits as "Song of the South" and "Dixieland Delight."  Of course, their "Farewell Tour" took five years.

Died November 8.

One of my all-time favorite country acts that got their start at Myrtle Beach's "Bowery."  We used to go their regularly.  The house band, which Alabama was before they hit it big, was not paid, but relied on tips.
