[Fletch]

Richard Diamond, Private Detective, The Lynn Knight Case. Who's tickling the ivories while Powell as Diamond sings at the end? Surely not Powell himself?

Possibly. He was a multi-instrumentalist in his big band days, playing banjo and trumpet at least.

my now 16-1/2 yo daughter Sarah and I just got back from volunteering at the California Pops Orchestra CONCERT in Los Gatos, Ca. We both wore vintage 40s dresses and shoes! An attendee brought and parked his perfectly restored 1941 Buick Roadmaster Phaeton convertible by the right side entrance doors, so naturally we had to pose by the car and take pics at intermission!

The tunes for this "Tribute to the Big Bands" show was amazing; Moonlight Serenade, Anvil Chorus, a Duke Ellington medley, a tribute to Harry James, Chattanooga Choo Choo, Stardust, Sing Sing Sing, the list goes on! Wonderful- the CA Pops had 68 musicians on stage today!

Marlene Dietrich -- Blonde Women

[video=youtube;XtoRYmKRwIE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtoRYmKRwIE&feature=channel_video_title[/video]

Lyrics

You will try in vain you can't explain
The charming, alarming blonde women
They fascinate, they captivate
Beware the amazing blonde women

Be careful when you meet
A sweet blonde stranger
You may not know it
But you are greeting danger

 

[AtomicEraTom]

No, it's about 1970, but Country-Western always kept a bit more old-fashioned than the rest of the scene.

Yeah this sounds good, although it doesn't seem to be much old
