It's taken a while to find this. Not because there's so few, but because there's sooo many.

Do you remember Jesse Pearson? He played Conrad Birdie:
But here is the best song in this musical, imho.

OK. More laughter, at the incident, and not at you. I just used the underline button on the top of the text box for effect, not for a link. Sorry for the confusion.
It was _Two_ ; maybe I should have done Two or *Two*. Do you have another quote?

****! I knew I lost the point with _Two_ guesses!

That was played continuously during the summer, along with Summer Wind. Sorry, JF, I heard that one _too_ often (though I love Frankie of the 1940s-1950s) Now, it's Winter music. I posted my favorite for cold winter nights on Off Topic: Favorite Music. It's Gino Vanelli.
Speaking of Frank, Chairman of the Board:
I always think of this movie during the Holidays too...

You know, I think sometimes the biggest mistake the producers/directors make is updating a period piece! Gilbert and Sullivan can still fill the seats.

OMG ! Of course. When I was in the 5 & 10 (Kresge's here in the Midwest), I don't remember music. The family-run drug store across the street had the better soda fountain. My older brothers would take me there often. And they had a Juke Box! It played this, but this isn't the exact recording.

Maybe it was a favorite of the druggist.

Gino Vanelli:
His best work. I'm thinking Montreal in winter. Cold night:

Good WhitSt. Make us guess. Spencer Tracy in Woman of the Year? Adam's Rib?

If I may be so bold, may I shorten your handle to: Classic,
You have a number of interesting selections. I have always had a little problem listening to _Playground of My Mind_. Maybe it's me. The others are very good. I hope you have more surprises!
I've been exploring different genres this afternoon while cleaning up the apartment. Would you prefer to stick with the Danceable Seventies, or want to hear some new territory?
Something from the brief period right after DooWop and before the English Invasion:

My first boyfriend (6th grade) was named Bobby. I don't think I even kissed him; we were still in the loosing baby teeth stage!

The threads are heating up this afternoon with some topics.

the video is interesting...The following is Gary Go, straight-up:

I listened to the whole thing...Wow! Al Hirt is awesome! Didn't he have a nightclub in New Orleans too?

It is! That was the theme song! Abby Dalton was the beautiful nurse-assistant, and Roscoe Karns (hey has he been mentioned in Supporting Characters thread yet?) was the Commanding Officer/Chief of Staff. I think it took place in San Diego. The sponsor was Kent Cigarettes. Yup, "doctors" advertised cigarettes.
Here's Roscoe Karns in a scene from *It Happened One Night*:

I think I like Gable best in comedy.
Thanks for sharing about your dad's tape deck --when they were the size of a deck!

Welcome to the boards, Mike!
I always like the Charlie Chan series as well. I found a lot of wise Asians vs. silly occidentals humor too, and it was clever dialog when you got past the syntax. I enjoyed them. Did you have a favorite story from the series?

So I guess we won't be seeing Trainspotters very soon.

Mel Tillis:
Robert Merrill:
The Robert Merrill is especially fun. Love those baritones!
I do not claim this thread as mine, it is welcome for everyone.
Feel free to comment. I do not judge people, but I do engage...

I have to be invited to a friend's house. I currently don't have cable. Preferably one with a DVD recorder! I love this movie!
Thank you for the heads up!

I have no problem with showing films with scenes of racism. I agree with TCM's intent. It is the responsibility of the viewer to note that TCM does provide some context when they do it. A study of history would help us understand context further. To pretend the racism wasn't there by not showing it would be more harmful.
I have no past data of Zabriskie Point -so I will not correct you. Is the subject racism in that one?

Thanks for posting it, Kyle. It was illuminating.

I'm not sure what's with the stuttering...Ironic, for Mel Tillis and Robert Merrill, it's how they overcame their stutter -through singing.

I have this on CD... no wait, the ex has it... darn.. Anyway, Beyond the Sea was the "B" side of the first Bobby Darin hit, Mack the Knife. I know, it was the first 45rpm I bought, with birthday money I believe. I saw Bobby Darin sing it on *Hennessey*, a TV show from late fifties, early sixties.
The story goes, Mack received so much playtime, that the disc jockeys would just flip the record, since it was always so close to the turntable anyway. Beyond the Sea was just as big a hit!
Now we all know Bobby's version of Mack the Knife. Let me share an alternate version, Ernie Kovac's style:
