		Barry Took, comedian and scriptwriter, who was credited as having brought together the six silly chaps who became Monty Python's Flying Circus, died today at age 73.

		Both were ambitious South Philly kids looking for a break; they found their dreams realized when they hooked up with Lowe, Mann and Appell.
		Their three wailing, soulful female voices, led by the dynamic Rosetta Hightower, were met by the deep throat of "frog-voiced" Steve Caldwell to create of the most distinctive vocal mixes around.
