  1. This one ain't hard-- But one more once--

     

    This guy wrote for the Hollywood musicals in the 30's, 40's and 50's.

    He wrote the Oscar Award winning and most popular movie theme song of the 50's.

     

    But more importantly he wrote the top musicals for the top Broadway Divas of the 50's and 60's.

    As they said, when they sang his showstopping tunes, the show actually stopped.

     

    Hint--and you could hear the song all the way to Times Square or the Statute of Liberty.

  2. Yes, Yes, Yes--and the "Fancy Free" ballet music was later incorporated into Bernstein's "On the Town", which also took place in New York, New York.

     

    Rarely have I ever said Yes so many times to a man--

     

    Rick you're definitely special!

  3. I don't know what you mean by "black" Music. But rock 'n roll is black music and that's definitely what the Beach Boys were doing.

     

    Miss--"Surfin' USA" is a Chuck Berry song that Brian wrote the lyrics to and re-arranged. All the top acts in rock 'n roll learned how to play rock by listening to Chuck Berry.

     

    In all their early albums, The Beatles, The Stones and The Animals--just to name a few--recorded Chuck Berry songs to show how much they knew about rock 'n roll. The Beatles also incluede Little Ricard in the mix.

  4. Glam--my favorite Hollywood artist is Judy Garland. I couldn't help but noticed that Edith Head created the costume designs for Judy's last movie, *I Could Go On Singing* and for much of her CBS TV Show. They were simply marvelous, no matter what shape Judy was in at the time.

     

    Also it seems that no matter who the studio designer was--the big female movie star demanded and got Miss Head to design her costumes.

     

    In *All About Eve*, Miss Head was responsible only for Bette Davis' clothes.

     

    For Hitch, Miss Head started to design the costumes even before casting.

     

    But in the case of Audrey Hepburn--everybody knows that Givency was her designer. Even though Miss Head's name was on the studio credit, Givency designed Audrey's clothing for "Funny Face", Breakfast at Tiffany's and "Charade". They were original Parisian designs.

  5. It's must be summer because I started playing "Endless Summer" in the car--finished with Barry White from all spring. Everytime I think of the summer holidays, I remember the time that the Sec of the Interior Watts didn't want to let The Beach Boys play at the DC Monument. It seemed to me to be unAmerican--The Beach Boys are the American Dream Group--they wrote and sang all about it. But the whole thing turned out all right--as Mike Love had supported Bush and they got to play after all.

     

    "Keep An Eye on Summer"--

  6. Not vague at all--This guy wrote the biggest Hollywood movie theme of the 50's and then went on to write the biggest Broadway hits for the greatest Broadway Divas in the 50's and 60's. On Broadway he was famous for the song that when the lady sang--it Stopped the show.
