70s music - Most of my favorites have already been mentioned, but I would have to add much of Billy Joel's "The Stranger" album.

As for a pic from the 70s, I'm afraid that all of those pics from my first two months of life are all down at my mother's house, so I can't oblige for now. DR Laura, this was your suggestion... where's your pic, eh???

Samuel Ramey has such a good voice; he is one of the few singers today who is equally at home singing opera and show music. Too bad he's devoted his career to directing Spiderman movies instead of singing.

You don't have get all smarmy on us, Dear Reader Jed. A simple "I don't have any pictures available" would have sufficed!

You slay me, Dear Reader William E. Lurie. You really do.

Smarmy? Moi???

Just sorry to deprive all y'all of my adorable newborn self, of course!

And at least I do have pictures from the 70s, unlike Ann, Laura II, Maya, Sarah, Emily, Andrea, et al.

Ooh...nudie baby pics! Gotta love them. I know my mother has some of those around, usually me with bare butt exposed for the world to see. Standard parental blackmail material, of course. But I didn't enter this here world until 1981, so I cannot participate in the 70's pics.

Jed - your mother didn't by any chance dress you in purple tights as a baby, did she?

Oh, and has anyone mentioned the marvelous Melissa Manchester's songs, both ones she wrote and ones she sang? And Carly Simon's beautiful That's the Way I've Always Heard it Should Be (can't remember if she wrote it or not).

I mentioned Melissa (and Carole Baye Sager) bakc on page one.

Oh, I'm sure there are a few of those in the box somewhere, TCB!

The older readers probbaly have trouble witht he print Jed. I assume there are photos of you naked on a genuine bear skin rug. Which reminds me - I watched "Brother Bear" last night. I didn't realise it was a cartoon. I was expecting a NW version of "Queer As Folk".

TCB's comment was "tongue in cheek". I confess I not only do not have a recording (CD) by Judy but not by Bette either. Another problem with my genes I guess.
As Jay will no doubt know, I prefer to hear Della Reese singing "Don't You Know" etc. (I think my memory works on that one).

Woohoo! Universal is releasing a second set of Ma and Pa Kettle DVDs and another set of Abbott and Costello DVDs, along with some assorted vintage westerns from the 40s and 50s. It is very nice to see them starting to release some of the oldies! I hope they continue this trend!

Are the first group of MA AND PA KETTLE films out (the one that will obviously contain THE EGG AND I)? I must have missed their release (I knew they were coming; I didn't know it had already happened). It'll be nice to get some of the early A&Cs too like HOLD THAT GHOST and WHO DONE IT and THE TIME OF THEIR LIVES (not an early one, but one of my favorites).

Universal is doing their monster series (FRANKENSTEIN, DRACULA, WOLF MAN) up in boxed sets, too, and I'll be glad to get the Dracula box since I only got my hands on the original (with the Spanish version included) and missed the sequels before they went out of print.

Looks like Warners and Universal are finally recognizing the worth of issuing their vault classics. (Now, if Universal will rediscover a little dimpled darling named Deanna Durbin, they can make me VERY happy.)

I have a pic of me nekkid on ugly green linoleum...with a soup bowl on my head. I loved to get into cabinets, apparently.

Well at least one person got my--what I, at least, thought was an ever so clever--reference earlier today. Thanks, Tom!

Has SILVERLAKE been issued as a CD? I have a swell duet early on in that, with mezzo Jane Shaulis. Julius Rudel let me take some liberties - how uncharacteristic of him!!!

Penny, there is a 1980 recording conducted by Julius Rudel with Joel Grey and the New York City Opera Orchestra and Chorus that was released on CD. Is this the recording that you're on, or is it too early a recording?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #144 on:** February 03, 2004, 02:46:33 PM »

And DR Jay being deprived (!) of the opera gen, I prefer Jackie Wilson's "Night" to "Softly Awakens My Heart". I think Perry had a bash at "Don't You Know" too. It is a beautiful melody.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #145 on:** February 03, 2004, 02:51:37 PM »

Back to today's topic. I love the Miguel Rios version of "Song Of Joy" (1970) and the Waldo de los Rios versions of "the classics" of about the same vintage. (eg Mozart Symphonia #40).

Sorry, folks. The technology required to post a photo of me from the 70's is way beyond my ken.
Each prior attempt has sent us into cinemascope.

A song I like from back then is Gilbert O'Sullivan's Alone Again (Naturally)

I watched HIT THE DECK this afternoon on laserdisc. Does anyone know if that's actually Russ Tamblyn's singing voice? I kind of doubt it even though the LP soundtrack album says it's Russ. It sounds more like Clark Burroughs who dubbed for Michael Kidd in IT'S ALWAYS FAIR WEATHER. Did Rhino do a soundtrack album that would identify the singer for certain?
