Whether intentional or not, at least for one song these younger guys seem to get it

I'm cheating a bit here, this is from a stage musical instead. A US/Russian chess rivalry. with Murray Head playing "The American".
One Night in Bangkok actually was a big hit in the US. Number 3 on the singles chart.

The only important thing to know here is this is a Benny and Bjorn composition. Yeah baby.
Never mind all the checkered floors, I don't think they are in a Masonic lodge, though I could always be wrong, but I think this is one of those rare exceptions.
Produced by Michael Tretow, who worked all the ABBA sessions. So this is solid ABBA personnel, minus the girls and with a different singer.
Turn it up a bit for me...

I do not know if they will be elected . Here are my choices: Carole King as a composer writer
Kate Bush would be a long shot:she never toured and had a relative success in the USA but she is a worthwhile artist.Todd Rundgren is a good composer and a very good producer,since 1968.Iron Maiden should be inducted,formed in 1976,recording since 1980.Extremely influential band (Metallica among many others) they still have incredible success worldwide i.e. selling out soccer stadiums until the pandemic hit the world. Steve Harris the bass player and founding member is a very big influence on new generations of bass players since 1980 & the era of video.
All good choices. In addition, from what I have seen of Metallica behind the scenes, they are among those who show the highest degree of professionalism I have seen of any performers, regardless of musical genre.
Now songwriters and composers is actually something I find more interesting, but maybe fit for a more interesting thread?

Sorry MCOH, but I'm still unclear as to why our newbie here began their reply to James with the line "Don't be a butt please"?
Are you saying that it's an "all-purpose type of reply" which is now a commonplace prefacing expression used in order help faciliate understanding between two parties?
(...and kind'a like how it seems every freakin' millennial out there today AND every freakin' person you hear on NPR always starts out every freakin' one of their replies to another with the word "So"???)
LOL
Perhaps, I am still trying to figure it out too.

Actually, I was wondering why our newbie here thought that James was being a "butt" at any point in his reply, and when all I saw in said reply was a simple, courteous and straightforward answer to his question???
He also thanked him at the end. It's an all-purpose type of reply - usually used for evaluation purposes, one which opens itself to the mindset of the reader and where they are at in life, without the poster having to make this judgement call and tell them where they should be at. The reader naturally will take one part in jest and the other to heart. Since the poster isn't telling the reader how to respond, this could really flip either way. However I just don't see the point.

Unfortunately yes. Any idea who manages this data who could make a correction?
Could be TCM or AFI. It depends if the data you see on the TCM site is forked or ported. I'm just another data guy and I have wondered once or twice before, but haven't really bothered to look into it. I hear wonderful things about it though.

Don't you music fans know who wrote & performed the Archie's songs? A talented group of pop musicians, writers & producers. It wasn't like it was really cartoon charactors.
I posted this link above to a Ron Dante TV interview, which was overlooked or ignored. Dante was 19 at the time when he recorded Sugar Sugar and it was written and produced by Don Kirshner (of "Brill building" fame) and Jeff Barry.

Yeah, I got the earlier reference, CI.
It was just that I couldn't help commenting on how much your pic of Helmsley reminded me of Eddie G. in drag.
(...btw, I also remember Suzanne Pleshette playing her in the 1990 TV-movie...
I remember her ads prominently arranged in Sky magazine back sometime in the 80s/90s, amongst the ads for Sharper Image types of things. Matronly looking woman holding a cup of coffee or tea and welcoming you the flier. Nothing to gawk at that point, and I never really paid any attention, but man did that ever go sour.

Used to hear country tunes too on mid '60's "rock" stations, and too, in the late '60's those same AM "rock" stations also used to play tunes by ANDY KIM, THE 1910 FRUITGUM CO. and THE COWSILLS. You're not suggesting THEM TOO, get inducted as well?
I mean, I like Ms. Warwick. Lovely woman with a lovely voice. But I'm with JAMES. Not what most would call Rock'n'roll. Might as well include THE ARCHIES.
Sepiatone
You really don't like The Cowsills. do you. Hey, any band that can relate to Mom like that is alright with me!
BTW as per The Archies - I have seen Late Night's Paul Shaffer credit Ron Dante as being the first who gave him a chance in the industry. Nice guy.

The fact Warwick's songs were played on R&R radio stations doesn't make it R&R music. I have a lot of respect for Warwick as a singer and entertainer but I would still classify it as pop music. Anyhow, like I said, this so called R&R Hall, has added many non-rock artist over the decades, so I see no reason to change that now.
I do find it funny that Donna Summer is mentioned. To me that makes the point about this, non-rock, but instead, pop hall of fame.
It's a bit like the diminishing returns effect that you will find with rarities and premieres on TCM. It is apparently still centered on Boomer music (some for Boomers, some for Gen-Xers), and believe me, they will move on to going through every last drop of that too. Then who knows what. Gen-X music that Gen-Xers listen to, then Gen-X music that only Millennials listen to? Maybe there will be an earthquake or something.

Now that's a tough act to follow. How can the movie possibly live up to that?

Carole, Todd and Dionne check off most of the boxes for me.

That's awesome, TopBilled! How pretend is real, huh? 😅
I wonder if Dargo is thinking of Phantom of the Backlot. Phantom had wrote about being a kid REAL close to the 40 Acres backlot and going through a fence to roam around the Hogan's Heroes set after dark if I remember right. Talk about going through a fence from Culver City directly into Nazi Germany! 😛
I would have went through the fence and froze right where I was. Again, not only being where Bob Crane, Werner Kemplerer, John Banner and the rest of the celebrities walked and stood, BUT....all of a sudden, being in Nazi Germany where Colonel Hogan, LeBeau, Kinch and everyone else pulled their tricks to outwit Klink.
That would've been unbelievable!
Yup. That's the poster I was thinking of.
P.S. Now he has his own site. Good idea!

LoL, You got me there. but writing that, I'd never compare those 2 films. I think masterpiece might have 2 different definitions for those 2 films. I don't consider Deliverence an "Overipe Melodrama" it's a very powerful, compelling film. The similiarity between the 2 films is they both take place in the South and the term white trash applies to some of the characters. Masterpiece may have been an overstatement for Claudelle Inglish but it is a worthwhile film to watch if for no other reason the cast. Diane McBain, she's very beautiful in the film and some Warner Bros. tv stars who were popular at the time. Arthur Kennedy and Constance Ford and Chet Akins are excellent in the film. It's a good film and if you get a chance to watch, I think it's a worthwhile watch.
As an aside, in the Information Please thread, two films that have been asked about for titles are Something Wild, the Carroll Baker film and Claudelle Inglish. I know because I've given those 2 titles in response more than a few times over the years.
I probably should have used an emoticon. No, nothing at all similar. Just the description brought to mind the characters. 😁

Thanks for the reminder Kingrat. I watch Claudelle Inglish whenever it's shown. LOL it is the best "white trash masterpiece"
Any better than Deliverance?

Sounds very cool. There was another poster for a brief amount of time who grew up around these areas back in the 1970s. He posted photos he had taken and blogged on here on some of his adventures as a kid sneaking onto the grounds while those studios were still active, but then it seemed his posts dropped off. Maybe they got him.

Were You Actually Able To Talk With Robert Osbourne On These Boards?
in General Discussions
Posted
There were a few back and forth exchanges, could have been more. One or two posters mouthed off at him or something. Conversation was asymmetrical and lopsided, as well as one might expect anything to go on here without any moderator presence (all online conversations with celebrities that I have ever seen always have an active moderator). It looked like he was testing the waters and thought "nah, I don't think so".
