RIP. She was a neighbor of one of my aunts. Not close friends, but acquaintances. I read that when she was offered the movie “Where They Boys Are” they told her she could have any MGM staff writer she wanted for the theme song. Instead, she picked Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield, and it turned out to be a good choice. We occasionally gig at Assisted Living Facilities here in Florida, and had one yesterday. We pulled out “Where The Boys Are” and it was the right choice for that audience. Especially since it was filmed in the town I grew up in, Fort Lauderdale. RIP Connie, and thanks for the music.

The way I was brought up by my parents is this: If someone gives you a complement, say “Thank you.” Whether you think it's deserved or not, or even if you think they are saying it sarcastically But that's just me.

Well, actually there were dozens of them. It depended on who was available. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wrecking_Crew_(music)

When There Is No Sun–Sun Ra

And you know what's funny about this. They recently found human remains that predate and are unrelated to the Asians who became the "American Indians", so they no longer can claim they were here first, as the obliterated the ones who were already here.

Baby It's You — Smith

Eleanor Rigby - Mark Murphy (Actually, just about anything he sang)

Hey Joe - Jimi Hendrix

Lies - Knickerbockers This could be the best Beatles sound-alike record, ever. I know people who thought it was the Beatles.

In The Summertime — Mungo Jerry

Other than food for this conversation, it really makes no difference to me. I don't care or give any credence to who the Hall of Fame pick or snubs, and who decides to decline. Industry giving awards to themselves are covert advertisements and/or popularity contests in the academy. IMO, they are for the fans, and not for serious professionals. Ms. Kaye is a good bass player and guitar player, and I like some of her work, and what I don't care for is only a reflection of my personal taste.
