Week 32 - Celebrities - Loren & Quinn

Sophia Loren weren’t that too bad a singer as she proves her with her first recording: Mambo Bacan from the movie La Donna Del Fiume (1955). And it did have a beautiful cover, at least in Sweden (see image below). Unlike a lot of other screen stars Anthony Quinn didn’t make the mistake of actually trying to sing on the In My Own Way…I Love You (1969) LP. He just threw out a few lines on how he doesn’t like that love small talk – it’s just too dumb for him cause he knows what love really is, although were known the wiser at the end of it all. Over this gibberish producer Harold Spina built a whole album.

20. Anthony Quinn – In My Own Way

These 2 delicate tracks are kept online thanks to Splogman.

Random Fatigue Meme

Got this meme from Olaf.

"Thanks for playing. Please pass this along to three friends, and pass along earthquake relief links to your readers. This meme is not intended as a strategy for shilling for one particular charitable organization, it is meant to be a casual excuse for bloggers to link to whatever relief agency they feel comfortable recommending. Also, feel free to add or delete questions."

1. Of all the books that you have eventually finished after many
starts & stops, which one took you the longest and how long did it
eventually take?
mrdantefontana: it must have been the Bible. Yes, I have actually read it all!!!
It took me about 5 years or so. Most of it was good reading - but did It bring religion into my lost soul? Nope.

2. What great band (or album or song) have you heard so often, you
wouldn't mind never hearing again even though you still think the band
(or album or song) is great?
mrdantefontana: I must refer to Olaf's answer on this one.

3. Which cliché or often cited quote needs to be placed in quarantine
for a few decades?
mrdantefontana: "NSFW"

4. During the 1990s "Compassion Fatigue" received a lot of press, now
the media is giddy with "Donation Fatigue." What will be the next
trendy fatigue?
mrdantefontana: BoingBoing Fatigue ;-)

5. What percentage of respondents will answer "meme fatigue" to
question #4?
mrdantefontana: Zero percentage. Just because of #4. Doh!

My link goes to Swedish Rädda Barnen (Save the Children).

I pass this on to Frank, Heather and P-E Fronning.
If you don't feel like paticipating - I won't judge you. Meme's can often be tiresome. This was quite easy I thought.

The Young Sisters

From: DPH: Dutch Encyclopedia
Both sisters were discovered when singing on an “Indonesian Night” in Breda. Shortly after that they were invited to perform in a nationwide radioprogram “d “Oprechte Amateur” and were opening the show of the utterly popular formation the Blue Diamonds. In 1961, their first single was released on the Philips label and it will be no surprise that all the records released after that turned out to be dutch-language covers of international Top-Ten hits. Their first release was a cover of the Allisons hit Are you sure, but there were lots more, nicked from Hayley Mills, Everly Brothers, Jay & te Americans and Peter Hinnen (Germany).The girls frequently went on tour for Dutch soldiers abroad, performing in Germany, France, Belgium, but also Turkey and Greece. Mostly accompanied by the famous Jumping Jewels, but when that band fell apart, also many times by the Young Ones (later: Chapter II)), the Shoes and the Riats. In those big shows they performed together with acts like Ria Verda, Anneke Grönloh, Johnny Lion and Willeke Alberti. In 1966 the sisters recorded the Donovan song: Give him my love – in english, which flopped – but when Philips asked them to return to the old repertoire, they refused because they hated it by now, and stopped singing. In 1981 they went on stage again with Indo legends the Black Dynamites, even recording a song with them on the “Rock ‘n Roll Revival album and guested on the LP from the Ton van Kluyven Orch.
