Dearesteth Maggy and all other beloved list members...May I please
announce, for the record, that the Hudson Brothers record ABSOLUTELY ROCKS!
OH BABY!  There is a lot of moog and wah-wah guitar, great cock-rock vocals
a la' The Raspberries or Mott the Hoople, great glam sounds like Mott or T
Rex(around the Tanxx period), and some basic great fake-rock, now-sound,
white-polyester, LOVE, baby, love!

there was a feeling that something special was in the

JF: enjoy!
Too cool! But be careful. You know what they say:
Hudson Brothers (oh! I forgot to add in my list post
that not only did the HB have an evening variety show

too!) lead to Shaun Cassidy.


Hey, I liked Sean Cassidy...but not as much as ANDY GIBB!  YOW!  Or course,
I liked Scott Baio, but that's another problem.
Which Hudson Bro.. was married to Goldie Hawn, btw(I feel Brian Phillips
fingers tapping already on the keyboard!)
Jane Fondle, wishing all a safe and Boston Pops-free Fourth!

To add to the commentary of Ben Waugh:

The Hudson Brothers, Bill, Mark and Brett came from seemingly nowhere with
a summer replacement show, which was synopsized by TV Guide as being a
combination of "The Marx Brothers and the Beatles".  Perhaps it was the
British Invasion sound of the Marx Brothers and the slapstick comedy of the
Beatles, but it would seem that their managers went into warp speed:

 - The  mid-summer show
 - The Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show (a kiddie show)
 - Appearances on the Hollywood Squares

Apparently, they too had had enough of the squeaky clean image and changed
their name to "Hudson".  Their songs "Lonely School Year" and "Coochie-Coo"
still haunt my memory and I HATE being haunted!  I disliked them intensely
then, but the standard twenty years has passed and who knows, they might
come back in style.

So funny to be hearing about The Hudson Brothers. I was a big fan. I hadn't
thought about them for years. I must have been a very young girl. But I
remember I really thought they were great. Even cute. Sheesh!

I have that LP, and I like the Brass Ring sound, *when it works,* which,

Kaptain Kool and the Kongs were a faux-musical group, like the Banana
Splits, without the all-covering animal outfits for the Krofft Supershow.
Kaptan Kool (Michael Lembeck) was the Fonz-like leader, Turkey (Mickey
McMell) was the goofy drummer ("Turkey, you turkey!"  witty, huh?),
Southern-talking Nashville (Louise Duart, now an impressionist, although
her Yoko Ono, is not only inaccurate, but racist), Superchick (Debra
Clinger) and Flatbush, who rhymed the last word of every sentence as an
annoying habit, dagnabbit!  Flatbush was my favorite, but when the show
went to the second season, off came the makeup and good-bye Flatbush!

Here is a pic of them:

pic is from the first season, the bigger picture is from the second)

There WAS an album!

Subject: (exotica) [obits] Dennis Brown,Sylvia Sidney,Edward Dmytryk

                           *Dennis Brown
    KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) -- Dennis Brown, a former child star who became
known as the Crown Prince of Reggae, died Thursday. He was 42.
    Initial reports suggested Brown died of complications caused by respiratory
problems, but his cause of death had not yet been confirmed.
    Brown rose to prominence amid a 1970s wave of reggae singers that included
Bob Marley, who introduced reggae music to listeners worldwide. He released
a string of hit songs beginning with ``No Man is an Island,'' which he
recorded in 1969 at the age of 12.
    The singer's most fruitful period came later, when he produced hits
including ``Westbound Train,'' ``How Could I Leave,'' and ``Ghetto Girl.''
    He earned a Grammy nomination in 1995 for his album Light My Fire.

From the Jamaica Daily Gleaner...
Dennis Brown is dead
Cardiac arrest at UHWI
DENNIS BROWN, hailed as the "Crown Prince of Reggae" in deference to Bob
Marley's kingly rating, died at the University Hospital in Kingston this
morning.

A spokesman for Brown's camp said the 42-year-old entertainer had been
ailing for several weeks, and his condition worsened last night when he was
rushed to hospital.


                           *Sylvia Sidney
    NEW YORK (AP) -- Sylvia Sidney, the waiflike star of the 1930s who
specialized in playing victims and got an Oscar nomination in 1973 for a
comeback role in ``Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams,'' died Thursday of throat
cancer. She was 88.
    Miss Sidney made her professional theater debut at 16 and was still acting
70 years later, with a brief appearance in the 1988 hit ``Beetlejuice'' and
a small role in ``Mars Attacks'' in 1996. She had recently signed a
seven-year contract for a recurring role on the TV series ``Fantasy Island.''
    After breaking into films in the late '20s, she became one of Paramount's
top actresses.
    The others, Marlene Dietrich, Claudette Colbert and Carole Lombard among
them, were tough and sharp-witted -- the way Miss Sidney was in person.
    But her film specialty was playing victims: the slum girl murdered by her
fiance in ``An American Tragedy,'' the nice girlfriend of racketeer Gary
Cooper in ``City Streets,'' the nice girlfriend of Spencer Tracy, falsely
accused of murder, in ``Fury.''
    Among the directors she worked with were Rouben Mamoulian, in ``City
Streets,'' 1931; Josef von Sternberg, in ``An American Tragedy,'' 1931;
Alfred Hitchcock in ``Sabotage'' (also called ``A Woman Alone''), 1936;
William Wyler, in ``Dead End,'' 1937; and Fritz Lang in ``Fury,'' 1936,
``You Only Live Once,'' 1937, and ``You and Me,'' 1938.
    But she tired of being typecast as a victim, referring in an interview
years later to ``the days when they used to pay me by the teardrop.''
    She enjoyed her infrequent comedies, such as ``Merrily We Go to Hell,''
1932, and ``Thirty-Day Princess,'' 1934. And she turned away from films more
and more, returning to the stage in such productions as ``The Gentle
People'' in 1939; ``Angel Street'' in 1941; ``The Fourposter'' in 1951; and
``Enter Laughing'' in 1963.
    ``I didn't leave Hollywood because of anybody but myself,'' she once said.
``I just got disgusted with myself. I didn't know who I was, as an actress
or a person.''
    Her return to the screen was in the 1973 drama ``Summer Wishes, Winter
Dreams,'' in which she played Joanne Woodward's doomed mother. She was
nominated for an Academy Award for best supporting actress.
    In 1986, she won a Golden Globe award and was nominated for an Emmy for
``An Early Frost,'' a TV movie in which she played the grandmother of an
AIDS patient.
    In ``Beetlejuice,'' Miss Sidney played a cranky otherworldly adviser to a
husband and wife who die and must learn the ways of the spirit world.
    Miss Sidney, a descendant of Russian Jews, was born Sophia Kosow in New
York City on Aug. 8, 1910. She began taking dancing lessons at age 10 and
was a teen-ager when she made her professional stage debut in 1926.
    She married three times, to publisher Bennett Cerf, actor Luther Adler and
publicist Carlton Alsop. All three marriages ended in divorce. Jacob Adler,
her only child, died in the mid-1980s of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or
Lou Gehrig's disease. After he fell ill, Miss Sidney became a volunteer for
the National ALS Foundation.
    Miss Sidney also was an accomplished needlepoint artist and wrote two books
on the subject.
    She has no survivors. A memorial service was scheduled for Aug. 9 at the
National Arts Club in New York.

    NEW YORK, July 2 (UPI) -- Character actress Sylvia Sidney has died of
throat cancer at a hospital in New York. She was 88.
    Among her credits in seven decades of acting were appearances in the 1996
comedy ``Mars Attacks!'' and the new version of ``Fantasy Island'' that ran
briefly on ABC-TV last year.
    Sidney garnered her only Academy Award nomination for her supporting role
as Joanne Woodward's mother in the 1973 film ``Summer Wishes, Winter
Dreams.'' The role was considered a comeback for Sidney, who had been absent
from the movies since the mid-1950s.
    Among her more memorable roles was that of Juno, the grumpy social worker
from the afterlife in the 1988 film ``Beetlejuice.''
    Born Sophia Kosow in the Bronx, N.Y., on Aug. 8, 1910, Sidney gained the
surname Sidney when she was adopted by the dental surgeon her mother married
after he parents divorced.
    She made her stage debut at age 16 and moved into movies in the early
1930s, acting in films including ``An American Tragedy,'' ``Ladies of the
Big House,'' and ``The Miracle Man.''
    She has no survivors. A memorial service is scheduled for Aug. 9 at the
National Arts Club in New York.

    LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Film director Edward Dmytryk, a member of the Hollywood
Ten who served prison time during the Red Scare-era witch hunts of the 1940s
and was blacklisted until named names of his communist comrades, died
Thursday night. He was 90.
    Dmytryk, who worked with some of Hollywood's biggest stars, had been ill
for a year and succumbed to heart and kidney failure, said his wife, Jean
Porter. He died in his Encino home.
    Dmytryk was a rising young director at RKO Pictures in 1945 when he joined
the Communist Party. He said he stayed ``only a few months,'' but two years
later the House Committee on Un-American Activities called him and nine
other Hollywood figures to a Washington hearing.
    All refused to answer questions about party membership. They were convicted
of contempt and sentenced to a year in federal prison. When Dmytryk finished
his sentence, he admitted that he had been a party member. He hadn't done it
before, he remarked in 1988, ``because they would call me a coward; they'd
say I was doing it simply to stay out of jail.''
    In 1951, Dmytryk returned to the House committee and identified 26 people
as communists.
    ``I didn't feel guilty about talking,'' he said later. ``I knew (the
accused) would call me a rat. But I did what I wanted to do. I have never
regretted.''
    Dmytryk directed ``The Caine Mutiny,'' ``Raintree County,'' ``The Young
Lions,'' ``The Carpetbaggers'' and other films starring some of Hollywood's
biggest names.
    Like Elia Kazan, the recent recipient of a controversial honorary Oscar,
Dmytryk was never forgiven for naming names by others who had been
blacklisted. In 1988, the Barcelona Film Festival organized a symposium
about Hollywood's blacklist, inviting Dmytryk and three others who had been
blacklisted but never recanted.
    The trio would not share the same platform with Dmytryk and he was forced
to sit in the audience. His onetime comrades excoriated him as ``scum,''
``Judas'' and ``informer.''
    Dmytryk replied: ``I didn't give any names that weren't known by the FBI.''
    After the event, Dmytryk said: ``When I die, I know the obits will first
read `one of Hollywood's Unfriendly 10,' not `director of `The Caine
Mutiny,' `The Young Lions,' `Raintree County' and other films.'''
    Dmytryk was born Sept. 4, 1908, of Ukrainian immigrant parents. After his
mother died, his father remarried and moved to San Francisco, where the
neglected and abused boy sold newspapers to help support the family.
    At 15, he found work as a messenger at Paramount Studios in Hollywood and
rose through the ranks to become a film editor.
    He began directing low-budget movies at neighboring RKO and drew notice for
``Murder My Sweet,'' which started the hardboiled private eye cycle and
rescued Dick Powell from musicals, and ``Crossfire,'' an indictment of
anti-Semitism long a taboo subject in films.
    After leaving prison, Dmytryk directed three films in England, then
returned to Washington to recant and name names. Only then did he find work
in Hollywood.
    After making a string of well-crafted, low-budget films for Stanley Kramer,
the producer assigned him to the 1954 World War II drama, ``The Caine
Mutiny.'' The film's success made Dmytryk an in-demand director.
    Small, tough and muscular, the director became noted for being able to deal
with stars in dramas, Westerns or war movies.
    Among his films were ``The Broken Lance'' (Spencer Tracy), ``Soldier of
Fortune'' (Clark Gable), ``The Left Hand of God'' (Humphrey Bogart, Gene
Tierney), ``Raintree County'' (Elizabeth Taylor, Montgomery Clift) and ``The
Young Lions'' (Marlon Brando, Clift, Dean Martin).
    Others included ``A Walk on the Wild Side'' (Jane Fonda, Barbara Stanwyck),
``The Carpetbaggers'' (George Peppard, Alan Ladd), ``Where Love Has Gone''
(Bette Davis, Susan Hayward), ``Mirage'' (Gregory Peck) and ``Anzio''
(Robert Mitchum, Robert Ryan).
    Dmytryk later taught film at the University of Southern California, wrote
manuals on filmmaking and two autobiographies, ``It's a Hell of a Life but
Not a Bad Living'' and ``Odd Man Out, A Memoir of the Hollywood Ten.''
    In addition to his wife, survivors include a son by a first marriage,
Michael, two daughters, Rebecca and Victoria, and three grandchildren.
    Funeral arrangements were pending.

    LARGO, Fla., July 2 (UPI) -- A 27-year-old Clearwater man who had been
facing up to five years behind bars is off the hook after a Pinellas County
jury cleared him of accusations he repeatedly stuck a bird's head in an
alcoholic beverage.
    The panel deliberated for a half hour Thursday before finding Theodore
Nobbe innocent of felony animal cruelty.
    Nobbe had been accused of dunking Woody -- a friend's parrot -- in a drink,
possibly a margarita, at a Clearwater restaurant last August.
    The bird was not injured.
    Animal rights activists had pressured prosecutors to take the case to
trial, saying alcohol is dangerous to a bird and a parrot dunker deserves
what he gets.
    Witnesses testified they did see Nobbe dance with the parrot, or more
precisely, with the parrot on his shoulder.
    But Nobbe's public defender told the court parrot dancing is not a crime.

    NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Ray Stevens, who wrote ``The Streak'' and
``Everything Is Beautiful,'' says he's cancer-free after prostate surgery.
    The 60-year-old singer had surgery June 15 at Johns Hopkins University
Medical Center in Baltimore to remove his prostate.
    ``I'm very fortunate to have been given a clean bill of health following my
surgery,'' he said in a statement today. ``The cancer was confined to the
prostate.''
    Ray returns to the stage at the Acuff Theatre in Nashville on Sept. 15.

    LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Bette Midler will ring in the year 2000 with a few
thousand people at the new Mandalay Bay hotel-casino.
    The Divine Miss M will perform two shows on New Year's Eve and Jan. 1, it
was announced Thursday. Tickets will cost up to $500.

    KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The voice of ``Sleeping Beauty'' is crying foul
over a property dispute.
    Diva Mary Costa and others have filed a lawsuit over the hassle with mobile
home magnate Jim Clayton. They accuse him of cajoling residents of the LaRue
Condominiums into giving him access to his new home on Fort Loudoun Lake.
Costa claims the easement affects her driveway.
    Clayton's behavior bordered on ``robber baronism,'' Costa's lawyer, Robert
Crossley, said in a letter.
    ``She will not let you get away with it without a fight,'' he wrote of his
client, a veteran of the Metropolitan and San Francisco operas who supplied
the singing voice for the 1959 Disney movie.
    Clayton said most of his neighbors have been very accommodating.
    ``It's just completely without understanding that Mary Costa could not take
the same position,'' Clayton said this week.
    A Knox County judge has issued a temporary restraining order preventing
Clayton from using the driveway until he can study the case.

Lena Zavaroni was an appallingly precocious child who
won several weeks running on a talent show called
'Opportunity knocks' hosted by the late Hughie Green.
She grew up from being a talented child to be an
ordinary adult and currently lives in quasi-poverty in
Scotland, battling anorexia.  I didn't know she had
records released on a respectable label like Stax.  Now
that IS shocking!  I think mommy was probably
thinking the next Brenda Lee........

Opportunity knocks gave a large number of stars a
break in England.  Probably the most internationally
famous one was folk chanteuse Mary Hopkin, who
was quite successful on the moptop label Apple.

Are there any talent shows on networked TV in
the USA at present?

Hugh

I deleted that last post in
which someone asked if there
were talent shows in the US.

I don't know if Star Search is still
going.

I do know that Spanish-language television
has this thing called Sabado Gigante,
which seems to run all Saturday long,
and it's every seventies Chuck Barris
show concept combined into one, including
a sort of gong show routine, where people
get cut off in the middle of their performance
if they suck.  It's pretty entertaining.

Oh, and they have commercials with dancing
foodstuffs!

This is akin to the album of German drinking songs that I saw on Chess!

Speaking of Ms. Zavaroni, what about the "Zavaroni's Cafe" mentioned here?

Outside of C-SPAN, not really.  There is a lip-sync show on the Fox Family
channel, but that is as close as it gets.  Has anyone ever made the jump
from amateur lip-sync to PRO lip-sync, besides Milli Vanilli?

Note that the song "So You Are a Star" was written about Goldie Hawn who was
then married to one of the Bros. Hudson (he fathered her kids).  The
Wondermints covered it on their Japanese import of covers only (which is
rawther cool, including some rare bacharach and the Monkees "Dolphin Song").
They have a cut on the invaluable Bubblegum Classic series on Varese
Sarabande under their 'gum name: Everyday Hudson.  There's some funny stuff
on the Hudson Brothers in the .compilation of Sixteen magazine which you can
still get at Virgin.  Apparently Bill was boning Gloria Stavers the legendary
editor.  The rest of the boys were getting all the Boogie Night action
available to mid-level Angelino popstars in the 70s

Sorry to hear Lena has fallen on lean times, purged of

What was it a few years back? Star Search? That thing
with Ed McMahan? Is that still on? Very perky.
