(jackielomax.com has its own obit)

Lomax was 69, which means he would've been 24 when he signed with Apple (he'd known J, P, G, & R since the Cavern days). The photo with the obit in the first link (from AP via the Delaware County Daily Times in Pennsylvania) is labeled as a handout from 1969. If so, he looks a lot older than 24.

RIP, Jackie. If it weren't for my Fab fandom, I would have never heard of you.

Lomax got some US airplay---some, but not much---with his debut Apple single, Sour Milk Sea. It was written and produced by George Harrison but got no higher than #117 on Billboard's Bubbling Under chart. Lomax did indeed know "J, P, G & R"; in the early 1960s he sang and played bass with the Undertakers, who often appeared at the Cavern Club in Liverpool. Here is the Los Angeles Times obituary:
