The Sudden Curve

Music Video Babe - Jackie DeShannon

Many choices were available for clips, she had quite a few hits, but I liked this one.

Happy Birthday, Jackie DeShannon

Music Video Babe - Christine McVie

Happy Birthday Christine

Posted by Tom Ender, who likes most everything Fleetwood Mac recorded after Buckingham and Nicks joined up. I haven't heard much of the earlier stuff, though in general I like bluesy rock.

Music Video Babe - Patty Smyth

Happy Birthday Patty

Posted by Tom Ender, who also offers this perhaps more familiar but non-embeddable version of the music video

Music Video Babe - Cyndi Lauper

Happy Birthday Cyndi

Music Video Babe - Ellen Foley

Not long ago I posted a Music Video Babe entry for Karla DeVito featuring her performance with Meatloaf on Paradise by the Dashboard Light. Those who saw that posting might recall I mentioned she did a lip-synch to the original singer's voice from the album recording. Ellen Foley was that original singer. However, since she wasn't in that video (or any others from Bat Out Of Hell), this entry won't feature more of those videos.

Ellen Foley has had both a solo singing career and contributed to efforts with others since singing on Bat Out Of Hell. She has also had an active stage presence on Broadway, in film and on TV. I like the sample below of her singing.

Happy Birthday, Ellen Foley !!!

Music Video Babe - Karla DeVito

Back when MTV was new, the video below was shown often. It remains one of my favorites for many reasons.

The Bat Out Of Hell album had a few top 40 hits, but sold steadily, became legendary and spawned several follow-ups. Most people associated with it did well as a result. Karla DeVito toured with Meatloaf promoting the album. Although she had not done the vocal work on the original album (done by Ellen Foley), she got the call to do the music videos. Since she does lip synch in this it might not be on her short list of favorite videos, but it is on mine.

Happy Birthday Karla!!!

Music Video Babe - Stevie Nicks, again

Happy Birthday Stevie!!!

Posted by Tom Ender, who attended a Stevie Nicks concert at Alpine Valley in 1983. I can even remember much of it.

Music Video Babe - Jewel Kilcher

Happy Birthday, Jewel

Posted by Tom Ender, who was meant to make this posting, and probably do other things too.

Music Video Babe - Mary Hopkin

1968. Oh yes, those were the days.

Happy Birthday, Mary Hopkin !!!

Posted by Tom Ender, who feels considerably older and maybe a small bit wiser than he was in 1968.

Music Video Babe - April Stevens

Most people who know April Stevens' music probably think of the hit made with her brother Nino Tempo: Deep Purple. However, April had some hits of her own, such as this one which predates music videos, but this clip has some shots of April for footage:

That struck me as quite apropos for The Sudden Curve.

Here's wishing a belated Happy Birthday to April Stevens !!!

Posted by Tom Ender, who meant to post that yesterday, but took advantage of the reasonably nice day to work in the yard, and then got caught up in other things. Wah wah wah wah wah, indeed.

Outlander movie clip

Well here's another Retro Sci Fi/ Horror film that's being released in the next few weeks. April 24 in England.

Outlander!

It's about some huge killer alien that lands on earth during the Viking days. So there is sure to be a lot of fighting. Yay!

What's in the Box - a short test film

This is a cool 9 minutes in First Person Shooter style kinda like in the movie version of Doom, the good part at the end, anyway.

Music Video Babe - Emmylou Harris

I'm not a big fan of most contemporary country music, but Emmylou makes it more to my liking.

Happy Birthday, Emmylou!!!

Posted by Tom Ender, who likes most things Cajun, but especially Jambalaya.

Music Video Babe - Nancy Wilson, again

Happy Birthday, Nancy !!!!

Posted by Tom Ender, who currently follows Central Daylight time, and therefore makes the happy birthday wish for Nancy within her birthday, at least under my time.
