ROCKOLLECTIONS: TRIBUTE/MEMORIAL 2007 PT.2

Before we move on to our next R.I.P., I have a bit more about Eric Von Schmidt, including the liner notes to one of his albums written by Bob Dylan.
Then it is on to the loss of Billy Henderson- if you didn’t know, a member of the Spinners- and a song he is most connected with.
This is a strange episode, with seemingly a lot of non-rock people. But trust me, it will be painless and have some damn good music.
So is the case with the beautiful Barbara McNair, an actress but a singer too. And I’ll play an old 1968 single she made for Motown Records, so you know it can’t be bad. In 1968, NOTHING coming out of Motown was bad!
Then Frankie Laine who died at 93. This guy had hits pre-rock & roll, but his career and hits went well into the 50’s and beyond.
From 1968 again, an outstanding instrumental combining elements of jazz and funk called Soulful Strut for the loss of Eldee Young, one half of Young-Holt Unlimited. You should know this one but probably haven’t heard it in a long time. Just simply a great song.
After that, Ken and I did have a discussion about whether to play Betty Hutton.
I pushed for it, because if we are truly to be free-form there are no restrictions.
Although she has no discernible rock & roll roots, she was certainly part of our American pop culture.
And recently I have seen bits and pieces of her on Turner Classic Movies, and although I had no opinion before, I find her to be immensely likable in a fun, almost tomboyish way.
Those sweetheart of a girl-next-door qualities are more than obvious in what you will hear.
I will end this one with a question. What song would you play for the late director of the classic movie Cool Hand Luke?
Hope we agree- and much more to come with our Tribute/Memorial celebrations of some lives.
