Even though I'm decades younger than them, if I'm with them with Reva playing, I think I would still struggle to keep up. Reva really plays at warp speed
It's like a class of first graders putting on a concert for the parents: one kid is fucking around with her clothes and face while she inches her mouth closer to the mic so that no one will miss out on her spectacular singing; one kid is distracted by looking at the kid next to her; one kid is rule bound and follows the EXACT mouth movements the teacher showed them (and he probably got pissed at the others for not doing what the teacher said); one kid who wants to be ANYWHERE but there and he's fucking hungry dammit; a goodie-two-shoes who's clearly teacher's pet ("Nice job Patsy"); and a stud-dude in the back who probably has kissed the little temptress in front with the mustard yellow dress who can't stop fucking around with her appearance.
You just know that little vixen Margie with the uncontrollable vibrato has broken up half the marriages in town. She was working on John Daker before the show, which explains why he couldn't remember the lyrics to Amore. Just look at those lustful, sidelong glances she's giving George Stanton...playing his affections against those of Daker. There was a brawl after the cameras shut down, trust me.
What a singer And celebrity Daker was. Some have said that whenever Daker entered a room, a light, a bright blinding light would fill the room and people would cower to his greatness. He was like Elvis
I saw him at Woodstock. great concert. After that he played a few gigs in Japan .. and then the big Live Aid concert with Phil Collins on drums and Billy joel on Piano.
Gotta love that warbling diva hogging the mic. "God bless Amerryca!" I like how by the second go-round, she's completely silent, and then during glory, glory hallelujah she ever so slowly begins getting louder and louder. LOL
I feel bad for john daker. He looks a shy nervous guy..imagine fucking up THAT bad on tv.. His only conciliation was that it was public tv (small audience) and in 2 years no one would remember..... then after two years he moved on with his life and forgot all about it... then 15+ years later.. youtube came along ><
I tried and I tried and I tried to figure out where the downbeat was after her intro. I know if the John Daker Sextet couldn't come in on time, then little ol me with a music composition degree from Berklee sure wasn't going to find it.
The first time, they all started at different times, second time around? They nailed it! All started at different times again! To be that consistently inconsistent takes talent
I just wanted to say that If you have suicidal thoughts, mental trauma, PTSD or anything Just know. You have a purpose you are beautiful, kind, just be yourself and go after what you want to do. You are amazing, you got this, and things will get better in your life, you will do great things, and so many people like your family and I are proud of you and love you dearly. Your future is bigger than your past and your past does not define you are awesome and a warrior. Don’t hate yourself simply because of your past, forgive yourself, love yourself no matter what because you deserve the world and the great things in it. Things we’ll get better in your life. You are the light of the world. Stay safe. 💪🏽❤️. Have a beautiful day…
Riva needs to realize they aren't recording a 45 and she could let her sexiest of sextets breathe between tunes. I don't know where you're about to eat dinner, but it's not a race, sister! Reva's probably the town's baddest piano player, but damn, sister - you ain't messing around!
Never mind the piano introduction, just come in whenever you damn well please. And if you’re not sure of the words, just mumble through it quietly until the part you actually know comes up…
“Way to go Patsy.” Nice. Patsy’s just trying to make it through with a chandelier hanging from her ears...oh man, the goat yodel vibrato at the end...Patsy killed it...or was that Marge? YT gold right here.
