Even though I don't understand what she's saying this Korean woman 'speaks my language' in several senses of that phrase.

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 - 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 - 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.

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.

Music Video Babe -- Juice Newton
Although Juice had a hit with "It's a Heartache", that was before music videos took off. She later released a cover of "Angel of the Morning" (originally done by Merrilee Rush and the Turnabouts) which got considerable play. However, I remember her more for the Quiet Lies songs which came a bit later. This one has good humor . . .
Happy Birthday, Juice Newton !!!
Posted by Tom Ender, whose luck in love during that period wasn't so hot either. It did eventually get better.

Music Video Babe -- Janis Joplin
In her time, Janis was considered by many to be the Queen of Rock.
The way I figure it. today would have been Janis's 66th birthday.

Holiday Sidebar Babe ~ Maria Rosaria Pilar Martinez Molina Moquire de les Esperades Santa Ana Romanguera y de la Najosa Rasten ... aka CHARO!
That's right CHARO! Usually we rotate about 10 - 14 Sidebar Babes over the Holiday Season but not this year. Charo seemed to fill the side bar just perfectly for a couple of weeks. Besides the fact that she was incomparably hot (as anyone who ever watched Merv Griffin knows full well) Charo is actually a virtuouso Flamenco guitar player and always has been. She even studied with Segovia. Don't believe it, well here she is from 1968 ::
She even gets an assist from Sammy at the end. And if you are thinking that's just a fluke - well here she is many years later playing what looks like one honking hard song to play ~ Recuerdas del las Alhambra ::
