Members alphanguy74 Posted December 7, 2011 Members Share Posted December 7, 2011 He passed away Monday at the age of 71. Cause of death has not been released yet. a great singer, and an unusual musical career in that both of his top 20 Billboard hits came 8 years apart from one another, the first in 1965, and then second in 1973. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upwrq1QZKV8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 7, 2011 Members Share Posted December 7, 2011 The In Crowd is one of the most soulful and unforgettable songs ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 7, 2011 I love "The In Crowd", too. The song itself has a great groove and wonderful structure. the next year, 1966... the Mamas And the Papas did a cover of it as well. It suits Cass really well, IMO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0Hw0DCySOY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 7, 2011 Here's another great clip... this is the official promo video for "Drift Away". As we all know, MTV didn't invent the promo video in the 80's, it just started to air them all the time 24/7. Starting around 1970 (and sometimes earlier) the lion's share of big hit record had a promo video shot to go with them, to be sent to foreign countries for broadcast on their respective music shows. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIuyDWzctgY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Max Posted December 8, 2011 Members Share Posted December 8, 2011 R.I.P. "The 'In' Crowd" peaked at #13, and "Drift Away" went to #5. "Drift Away" was associated with one of the stupidest soap scenes I have ever seen: in "Dawson's Creek," Mitch Leery (Dawson's father) was driving late at night and singing along with the song on the radio. He was eating an ice cream cone while doing so, but the ice cream fell off the cone. Mitch chose to keep on driving while he tried to look for the ice cream on the floor of his SUV. Yet, since he took his eyes off the road, he was unable to see a speeding car coming towards him (until it was too late) and was killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Max Posted December 8, 2011 Members Share Posted December 8, 2011 Alphanguy, I'm actually going to post clip this in a new thread. You have given me a great idea to start a thread about dumbest chioces by soap characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
