OK, OK, OK, but what if you were an Orangutan that really liked mangoes, but the Mars probe finds evidence of water ice somewhere other than the polar caps after I ran a red light, what then???

Did anybody see the orangutan drink the polar cap water and run the red?

I missed this thread because it was too similar to the last B/S/T thread. And since I enjoy talking about the music of my life more than baseball cards (although nearly being a member of the 5K on this site might belie that comment). Let me present you this you tube video of an obscure (barely made the top 40) Dionne Warwick song but in my opinion it's a goodie

One of the great pop singers. Impeccable style and phrasing.

Dionne Warwick at her best:

Don't Make Me Over - Dionne Warwick

There's also quite the story behind the track. Hal David and Burt Bacharach had told a young Dionne Warwick that they were working on a song for her, but ended up giving it to another singer. When Dionne demanded to know why, the two hemmed and hawed about how the other girl was better suited for the song in this, that and the other way. Knowing that it was actually because she wasn't white, Dionne burst into tears at their implied criticism of her "suitability" and snapped "Don't make me over, man, accept me for what I am!" Stunned, Hal David and Burt Bacharach looked at each other with the realization that they'd just found the exact sentiment they needed to turn their young ingenue into a recording sensation.

I like the stark contrast in the video between the very awkward young Dionne stuffed into the formal gown and heels in which she could hardly walk and the raw power of her voice.



But sadly she'd never be quite that good again. They did, you see, rather quickly make her over.

That's wild... She is so young there. What a voice!

I was recently watching a mid-1960s episode of the Ed Sullivan Show, and caught this performance from the same magical era...

Even though Petula performed her bigger hit (Downtown) earlier in the show, this is the one that stuck with me, as it's catchy as hell.

Petula is over 90 and still active (or was very recently). Here is a more obscure song she also did on the Ed Sullivan show but it's really a catchy song albeit not as famous as the two already discussed

Petula Clark was fabulous! Here's my favourite:

Kiss Me Goodbye - Petula Clark

Did you ever post on either of the Classicrockforums or CRF2? I posted on those as Foxhound for many years and so did a certain dastardly flea bitten feline calling himself Hepcat.



And just because:

Sorry no, I had actually never heard of those forums till you mentioned them. And the odds are good (outside this board) my screen name would be Sabrgeek.

Never used that. And it's been a while since I had the sad task of posting one of those.
