DEWEY'S RECORD PARTY!

[ChiO]

With a Bo Diddley beat ripped raw combined with teenage angst and
a sense of Albert Ayler freedom, The STOOGES assaulted us
in 1969 – 40 short (or, is it “long”?) years ago. Iggy Pop got the
press, but RON ASHETON provided the crunch and scrunch with
his demented guitar wails.

RON ASHETON: Found dead today at age 60.

Ah, the Golden 60s. The era of the non-singer heartthrob. Here's one:

Richard Chamberlain, singing the theme from his series "Dr. Kildare"

Here's another

George Maharis (who could sing a bit, but wasn't known as a singer) - "Baby Has Gone Bye Bye"

Far be it from me to poke fun of actors who can't sing - singing!
But I thought I'd add Clint Eastwood (who makes Richard Chamberlain sound like Pavarotti!) to this curious mix ...

Okay…but smelling salts for you swooners are not available.

SAL MINEO “I Love a Little Girl Who Lives Across the Way” (?)
& “Save the Last Dance for Me”

TAB HUNTER “Ninety-Nine Ways”

Oh, the palpitations!

Here's Michael Landon making like a combination of Andy Williams and Ricky Nelson with "Dear Heart"
[youtube][/youtube]

[mookryan]

I'm feeling the desperate need to erase the sound of Sal Mineo's voice
reverberating through my shocked consciousness (thanx ChiO ... NOT!!!)
with some bad singing that's genuinely hilarious - Mark Wahlberg
(a big fan of Robert Ryan - whoo hoo!) in Boogie Nights!

Some more heart-throbbers to spice up the Record Party...
RICKY NELSON "Poor Little Fool"

LOU CHRISTIE "Two Faces Have I" (first time I heard this I thought
it was "Do Vases Have Eyes")
[youtube][/youtube]

OK, Mookie -- I've got something to make us all feel better.

So he's not actually the 60s heartthrob who's singing. Who cares? (I've got no problem with hearing The Boss, have you?)

[mookryan]

The Boss makes EVERYTHING better!

[ChiO]

DJ Mook fluttered: The Boss makes EVERYTHING better!

I agree. Nobody beats Fabian!
