Tanya Tucker and Linda Ronstadt. Hot,Hot,Hot. OK, add in Sheena Easton and Olivia Newton Nummy.
If only Momma Cass had given Karen Carpenter that sandwich ......

I actually like a lot of the music. I turned 30 in the mid 80s and a lot of it stuck with me. And Reagan was president for 8 years......

And who can forget Carol King?
Bobbie Gentry
Bobbie Gentry wasn't bad. And I liked her voice. Beside "Ode to Billy Joe", I think I first heard her duet with Glen Campbell "Let it be me", which I RELLY liked. At the end of the 70's though, she stopped performing.

Though mostly unison, the arrangement with the oboes makes me nuts.

Raquel Welch....I can always turn down my hearing aid.
Cass's autopsy said.....
The ham sandwich was a preliminary observation due to a partially eaten sandwich and the autopsy said a heart attack was to blame. What WAS weird though is the she was in Harry Nilsson's London apartment while he was away and later Keith Moon died in the same apartment. The moral of this story is, if somebody tells you you can borrow Harry's apartment, better stay at the Howard Johnson's.

BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER.
Talent goes bone deep, therefore Carol King (how many decades making huge hits?), Dolly Parton, Joanie Mitchell.... A favorite performance among many great ones at Kutztown Pa stompin 76 was Bonnie Raitt. My Annie Haslam story (Renaissance) , she played at my college. A tiny thing easy on the eyes but a diva with an attitude. Granted the college circuit must have been grueling & the venue primitive cold & damp but she was demanding. During her show she sang a run & proclaims "how's that for holding a note?", well one of our better (drunk) singers yells out "I could hold that note longer in the shower". She was PO'd & invited him up to show his stuff & he put her to shame. Her band broke up (tired of her behavior no doubt), she stormed off, but came back to finish her time & collect the $. Anne Murray??? reminds me of Florence Henderson, Cagney or Lacey (I get confused which is which).

One of my associates flew for Purdue Airlines post AF.
At that time Purdue flew the Playboy DC-9.
John met Barbie, but didn't have anything nice to say about her.

Was never impressed with Barbie Benton's singing or looks for that matter...until..... I saw her in person in Aspen on the street in the early 80s; no TV show or picture ever taken of her did her justice...drop dead gorgeous!
