RIP Singer Jack Jones, Love Boat Theme

(deleted, wrong thread)

The hand gestures have convinced me. I must have this car.

I was referring to Phil Leah and Jack Jones, musicians two generations apart in style, dying only two days apart. It would be a curious meeting in an afterlife.

Correction: Phil Lesh, bassist for the Grateful Dead.

After Lemmy Kilmister and David Bowie had died within a week, this cartoon made the rounds in Germany:

Caption: “After some speed and whisky, Lemmy and Bowie had to note that they hadn’t very much to tell each other.”

Red Roses For a Blue Lady was a lot less skeevy that way.

Fun fact: He did a Christmas album where he sang My Favorite Things with jingle bells being jingled as part of the accompaniment. And his was the first record that happened on.

So today, when I claim that “The Sound of Music” is a Christmas movie, well, that’s his fault.
