Films Of 1952

Films Of 1952

Three good Films Of 1952, which I’ll watch later tonight, but not much else that I would watch, even though some of the people that I typed about, are in them, the movies themselves aren’t that memorable or worth watching. Hollywood was just throwing in singers and actors, but not throwing in story, but their learn their mistake when the younger generation become teenagers, but that’s not not going to happen until 1955.

• Aaron Slick from Punkin Crick starring Alan Young, Dinah Shore, Robert Merrill and Adele Jergens. Directed by Claude Binyon.
• Affair in Trinidad starring Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford
• April in Paris starring Doris Day and Ray Bolger
• Because You’re Mine starring Mario Lanza and Doretta Morrow

Juice Newton Part One

Juice Newton Part One

She’s the only one, that I like, who was born in 1952, which this year will be short, however, Juice Newton Part One, will be sweet.

Judy Kay “Juice“ Newton (birthed February 18, 1952) is an American pop and also country (which I think she invented Country Pop, because her hit songs is on both categories at the same time), singer, songwriter, and also musician. As of this date, Newton has received five Grammy Award nominations in the Pop and Country  Best Female Singer categories – winning once in 1983 – along with an ACM Award for Top New Female Artist and two Billboard Female Album Musician of the Year awards (won back to back). Newton‘s various other awards consist of a People‘s Choice Award for “Best...

Born To Be Bad George Thorogood

Born To Be Bad George Thorogood

Who can’t forget “Bad To The Born”, well I can’t and it’s on of those songs you can’t get out of your mind, so I have to do Born To Be Bad George Thorogood, and I hope you have to read it (and listen to the album).

George Lawrence Thorogood (birthed February 24, 1950) is an American musician, singer  and also songwriter from Wilmington, Delaware. His “high-energy boogie-blues“ sound came to be a staple of 1980s rock radio, with hits like his original songs “{Bad to the Bone“ and “I Drink Alone“. He has likewise assisted to popularize older songs by American icons, such as “Move It on Over“, “Who Do You Love?“, and also“House Rent Boogie/One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer“.

John Mellencamp Part One

John Mellencamp Part One

I’m doing someone new to my website, and from the title. John Mellencamp Part One, I think you know who it is.

John Mellencamp

John J. Mellencamp born October 7, 1951), formerly known as Johnny Cougar, John Cougar, and also John Cougar Mellencamp, is an American musician, singer-songwriter, painter, and also actor. He is recognized for his catchy, populist brand of heartland rock, which  stresses traditional instrumentation. Mellencamp rose to fame in the 1980s while “developing an almost startlingly plainspoken writing style“ that, beginning in 1982, generated a string of Top 10 singles, including “Hurts So Good,“ “Jack & Diane,“ “Crumblin‘ Down,“ “Pink Houses,“ “Lonely Ol’Night,“ “Small Town,“ “R.O.C.K. in t...

To Lulu with Love Part Four

To Lulu with Love Part Four

Olivia Newton-John Part Four

Olivia Newton-John Part Four

I can’t believe it, but it’s true, I’m doing Olivia Newton-John Part Four, and it’s better than before. She’s my favorite Australian singer, which says a lot, seeing that there’s so many out there.

Motherhood, Cancer, And Advocacy

In September 1989, Newton-John released her self-described album Tender, which reunited her with producer John Farrar, absent from her previous LP, as well as marked a return to a more wholesome image of herself. Influenced by her daughter, who appeared on the cover, the album featured lullabies and love songs for parents and their children. This album, the last one produced by Farrar, also fell short to revive her recording career, as the disc just reached No. 124 Pop.
