"Slaughter On Tenth Avenue"

OK, back to the 60's: This '64 The Ventures tune was one of their biggest hits. Based upon a ballet score composed by Richard Rodgers and choreographed by George Balanchine. It is the story of a hoofer that falls in love with a dance hall girl. Her jealous boyfriend shoots her and the hoofer shoots the boyfriend.

OK, more 70's: Roland Kent LaVoie joined The Rumours with the late great Gram Parsons in '61. He adopted a stage name in '71. He hit the singles charts 14 times over a 4 yr. period in the early 70's. This tune about being in love with someone you can never have (and her having no clue!) peaked at #8 Pop and #1 Adult Contemporary in '72. Stage name? Song?


Yesterday's answer: "How Deep Is Your Love?". More great memories from '77!

"How Deep Is Your Love?"

OK, here in Wyoming: This romantic classic was written by the Bee Gees for Yvonne Elliman. Robert Stigwood recommended that they record it instead for the 'Saturday Night Fever' soundtrack. A then-record TopTen for 17 wks. in '77; #1 Dec. '77. Grammy for Best Pop Performance By A Group. Recently performed by Siobhan Magnus and Aaron Kelly with the remaining Bee Gees during the Idol finale.

Last question's answer:

Angel Clare - "All I Know". Another Jimmy Webb masterpiece. Art, of course, sings it like an angel. DO NOT listen to Jimmy Webb singing it - stick to Art!

"All I Know"

OK, more 70's: This beautiful Jimmy Webb composition was Art Garfunkel's first hit single (#9) from his first solo post-Simon and Garfunkel album. Released in Sept. '73, it went Certified Gold within a month. This was the first of many Jimmy Webb covers that Art released during the ensuing two decades. Song? Album?

Yesterday's answer: "We're All Alone" by Boz Scaggs from "Silk Degrees". Between the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack and "Silk Degrees", great musical memories from my surgical residency at Bryn Mawr Hosp. in Bryn Mawr, PA.

"We're All Alone" by Boz Scaggs.

OK, back to the 70's: This Canton, OH native became the vocalist for Steve Miller's first band, The Marksmen, in '59. He rejoined the Steve Miller Band in the late 60's on their 1st 2 albums. His smash album (#2 U.S.) came in '76, accompanied by session musicians later to become Toto. A song from the album was covered by Frankie Valli and by Rita Coolidge (Cert. Gold #1 Cashbox). Artist? Album? Song?
