Due to sleeping in and loud household chores (i.e. vaccuuming), only one album played today…
Great use of this in an episode of Veronica Mars with Adam Scott and Leighton Meester in guest roles.
I watched the original Hairspray last night – easily one of my Top Ten favorite films – and was reminded of what a gorgeous record this is.
They cheated a bit for the movie since this record came out in 1967 and the movie was set in 1962. I’m glad they did though, because I likely never would have discovered this song. I even bought a copy of his album when it was reissued.
I usually can live with those things.
The one time it has really bothered me is in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, where they use Barbra Streisand music as the background for a bunch of scenes of this show set in the '50s. Takes me right out of the show.
Live broadcast from the Chris’ Jazz Cafe’ channel on YouTube!
No show premiere this week, but that Philly Phriday groove is still out there and waiting, Hepcats!
