Hollywood Offspring In 60s Music |  

His mother Harriet Hilliard starred in the Fred & Ginger movie musical Follow The Fleet (1936) and sang two songs.

Ricky started out in the 1950s. Maybe that DQ'd him from eligibility for this list.

My first thought when I saw the title. Ricky was great!

I could never forget him because, as you already know, he has some hits right up to '64 and then made a comeback in'72.

"could"

I completely missed that one!

He was in Air Force and joined it voluntarily.

@@David-yw2lv Your source? Google "Gary Lewis Playboys drafted" and Wikipedia for "Gary Lewis" and "Gary Lewis and the Playboys," and the Los Angeles Times of June 14, 1985, among others sources, say he was drafted into the US Army in January 1967.

and the Wrecking Crew was the musicians who did their records

@@oldermusiclover Primarily Leon Russell

Yes, that is one I forgot about. Thanks Thomas.

I didn't count him because he was a 1970s star, but pretty close!

Yes, I did talk about MacLean's stardust background in my Love series but he doesn't quite qualify for this video. I had to draw the line somewhere :)

I didn't know that - thank you!

@@popgoesthe60s52 They were in Tin Machine with Bowie.

​@@perrybartonPlus they recorded with Todd Rundgren.

But don't forget their appearance on Hullabaloo ( with Dad as host ) their group Tony & the Tigers played " Day Tripper " . One of the other members was the son of the Penguin himself, Burgess Meredith !!! ( As a young boy of the '60s I know a lot of useless trivia , that comes in handy when least expected lol. ) You might want to add Noel Harrison , who had several albums out , whose father ( Rex ) played the original Dr. Doolittle . Also Micky Dolenz , son of George Dolenz , character actor. There are probably hundreds more lol. Great video !!! Entertaining. Terry Melcher , career , might make an interesting video. He sure did a lot at such a young age.

@@williamyale9130 Tin Machine and Tony and the Tigers who appeared on Hullaballoo

Good one - completely missed that one.

Not sure why Google thinks I need this comment translated into english.

His mother also.

Now she’s heading up fundraising for a great cause, that being St. Jude’s Children’s hospital in Memphis.

David Crosby and Bing Crosby are related but very very distantly. You nearly have to go back to the immigrant ancestor that they both have in common, Simon Crosby to find a common ancestor.

Thank you, Bob!

Good one - thank you!

The Clingers! Look up the Clingers, they inspired the Runaways later on. Look for their Manson Family stories.

After the incident at Cielo Drive, Melcher would never be the same and would have to look over his shoulder not knowing if Manson or the Family would eventually come looking for him.

My understanding is that a good part of the appeal of Los Angeles is that the natural sunlight was great for filming; you didn't need bulky, expensive and extremely hot arc lamps and the like. A lot of those comedic silent shorts were filmed outside although the sets were designed to look like they were indoors.

Thank you for that - I didn't know about it.

@@popgoesthe60s52 Out side of the 60's niche but interesting.....we are a village- thank you for providing the great content and subject matter to enjoy and comment on.

I think it was at a house in the Hollywood Hills in August, 1965. Fonda was there with McGuinn and Crosby of The Byrds. I don't think McCartney was there, although Eleanor Bron reportedly was.

Thank you, you too!

Yeah he did the great theme song of one of my favorite 60s cartoon shows, SUPER SIX!

Gary Lewis. Unlike many of Hollywood's children, he served during the Vietnam War.

Thank you, Laura!

Didn't know that - thank you!

@@user-mq4zg1rq7t Carl also worked with George Harrison, playing on many of the tracks on All Things Must Pass.

Thanks for the support, Jon!

I'll have to check out The Black Angel thanks for the tip. Scarlet Street is excellent.

@@delmofritz3964 👍👍👍

@@delmofritz3964I think that The Black Angel has him in his best role.

@captainape6807 Try to track down "The Bounty Killer" from 1965.

@@dlhdonn I'll do that. Thanx.

Yup, related to Douglas Fowley, I believe.

I meant -Dan Duryea,, and the gorgeous Joan Bennet , in’Scarlet St.’ ,,with ‘Edward G. Robinson , awesome movie!

I also enjoying doing a Dan Duryea impression now and then, mostly for my own amusment, because you're right, no one would recognize it!

Welcome, Pedro! Yes, Spenser Davis is on my very long list!

Wasn’t Jack Jones also married to Shirley Jones AND the father of David Cassidy?

​No that was Jack Cassidy, father of Shawn and stepfather of David.​@@georgeprice4212

@@georgeprice4212 I think you are thinking of Jack Cassidy. Shirley Jones is actually older than Jack Jones.

Yes, two good ones! Thank you.

My pleasure Tom. Thanks for watching.

It is still a great song after all these years. Thanks for the comment!

Yes, my friend is loaning me that book and I do know Melcher lied under oath so it should be interesting reading.

She Said She Said is the ONLY thing that gets mentioned. I thought I'd give you all a break :)

Frank Jr. was kidnapped by an acquaintance of Jan Berry and Dean Torrence helping derail their career.

@@thomasrobinson182 Yeah, a guy named Barry Keenan who they'd gone to High School with & was close to Dean Torrence. The Defence theory was that Torrence had leant $$$ to Keenan to pull off the Kidnapping, and that it was really all just a "Publicity Stunt" with Frank Sinatra Jr. in on it as the publicity would help to boost his career. Absolute $^&# Show of a situation however in the wake of the Kidnapping & Frank Jr.'s release, he did get a boost, appearing on the Ed Sullivan Show & opening for the Beatles if memory serves. Jan & Dean did go on to continued success for a time however your absolutely correct, being named as a "Financier" of so despicable an "event" pretty serious career killer. Jan Berry was apparently unaware of it all & mightily upset, Dean Torrance on the other hand, well... this is why its wise to pick your friends carefully, and when they reach their late teen or adult stage & come to you with whatever illicit schemes, shut them down, cut it off. Keenan's life & mind unwinding, Jan & Dean's who were both attending University while Rocketing to fame & fortune crippled as a result.

Thank you Steve. I also appreciate the Frank Jr. suggestion. I missed that one!

Don was billed as Luke R. Yoo.

Don Grady also recorded an album under his real name - Don Agrati - titled" Homegrown". A couple of decent late-60s type tracks on there.

I didn't know that about Fowley - thanks!

@@popgoesthe60s52 You're very welcome, Matt. Keep up the great work.

Dennis Wilson tried to interest Melcher. Wilson later rewrote Manson's 'Cease To Exist' as 'Never Learn Not To Love' off '20/20'. There's speculation that Manson wasn't happy with that.

Wow I didn't know that - thanks Mike!

Sgt. Zelmo Zale of M*A*S*H was played by Johnny Haymer, who was also on the syndicated Madame's Place.

Not really Offspring but close.

Good one, thank you!

Nora Guthrie wouldn't be included as she is not the offspring of any Hollywood connection. Thanks for adding Melinda Marx and Michael Chaplin - I didn't know about them.

@@popgoesthe60s52 I have more but I’m a little preoccupied. Will send more. I did a whole radio show about this! Thanks for the great video!!

@@GilbertNeal Thank you sir!

Yes, he is a good one, thanks dlhdonn!

@@philbrown1474 I've always held a grudge against The Grammys. The Anita Kerr Singers beating out The Byrds for Best New Artist. Ridiculous.

@@thomasrobinson182 I hear you. That was pretty bad.
