Natalie Cole didn't do too badly. Johnny Cash's daughter, too. Are there any others, though? Do you have to be a different gender than your famous parent to succeed?
Yup. In 1982 when they signed with Full Moon Records, they couldn't exactly go back the sound that put them on the map. And, when they split with Peter Cetera later in the 80s they got worse. But, you're wrong in one way: Co-lead singer, keybordist, and songwriter Robert Lamm is a founding member and still with Chicago.
Was she ever in anything else? This was a staple on HBO in the mid-eighties. She was a beauty to be sure. Also interesting that Demi Moore, who plays Michael Caine's daughter and has a topless scene, does not appear at all in the trailer. She would not longer after become a big star.
He did. And also on "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is." Couldn't confuse his singing style with Terry Kath's, let alone Peter Cetera's.
Another teen movie came out in 1984 and was filmed in my neck of the woods: Revenge Of The Nerds. Though it had no soundtrack hits, it is also a movie that couldn't be made today.
I always forget about the "Guilty" album. That's the one Streisand album straight guys will admit to liking and owning.
They both appeared topless in the film. But, there is some stuff about that I won't mention here on the forum.
Not according to my sister who lived there for two years. And, i've also seen suburban D.C. referred to as the de facto south.
Yeah I knew about that but it has seemed to disappear down the op’ rabbit hole. I had the year wrong on ‘Saturday’
No offense to your sister... but DC suburbs ain't "the South". I've lived here my whole life, so I kinda sorta think I know the area...
She related some of the same experiences she had when she lived in Texas. Perhaps you don't see/feel the same things because you are of a lighter hue?
Perhaps... and it's also possible a) she was here long enough ago that the area was more "South" back then, and b) she was in areas farther out than Alexandria, Arlington, and Fairfax, the main "DC suburbs" in VA. The inner VA suburbs are very liberal and not at all like "the South". Ya gotta go out to Manassas and farther south to get a taste of "the South" around here. BTW, if your sister's thoughts that DC suburbs = "the South" come from racial incidents, don't forget that Southerners don't have a monopoly on racism! Ask Blacks who live in the Boston area!
This thread took a VERY gay turn, and I missed it of course Moral of the story, like what you like and f*** what anybody else has to say.
Yes, it was in the early 90s. Both she and my brother-in-law couldn't wait to get back here to the west. Unfortunately, she is no longer around to ask exactly what neighborhood/town it was. I just know it was upper-middle class. Trust me! We know! It's everywhere. People talk about how great some "liberal" cities are. Not so. They are just as bad, if not worse. It's awful!
I totally believe you guys, it's just not how I remember it, for whatever reason. Like I said, I wonder if Channel 61 got the "Too Late For Goodbyes" video and played it before "Valotte". I was probably getting exposed to new music more thru Channel 61 than thru the radio at this point. It's also possible Phoenix radio didn't really pick up "Valotte" - radio was still regional at the time - and by the time I heard it and it registered "Goodbyes" was already climbing the charts. I will say, I would never have picked "Valotte" as the lead single off the record. "Goodbyes" sounds like a hit, "Valotte" doesn't, although I love them both. But then I was a huge Beatles freak and totally primed for this. I remember the first time I heard Julian being blown away by how much he sounded like his dad. Looks just like him, too. Can totally see that reaction. I had something similar happen first time I heard Madonna's "Rain". It was late, I was driving home, tuned into it after that initial chorus in the middle of the first verse and thought it was some lost Karen Carpenter cut that had been remixed (this was around the time of the huge "Tom's Diner" remix). Wasn't until it got to the chorus I realized it was the new Madonna single. Didn't know she had a huge thing for Karen Carpenter. Good on Madge! Oh I think you're right, it's just weird I don't remember it that way. It is surprising that "Valotte" was almost as big a hit. Lovely song but I wouldn't have pegged it as a Top 10 number in 1984. Sometimes people surprise you for the better.
