Sierra shares how she got her start organizing music nights at the venue, including open mic nights and featured artist events that spotlight both undiscovered local talent and internationally known musicians like Elliot Lurie, the songwriter of Brandy (You're a Fine Girl). With a rich musical heritage—her parents are both in the band Ambrosia—Sierra began performing at just four years old and has developed into a passionate performer and songwriter. She opens up about her own songs, “Look Out For Me” and “Slow Morning,” and the creative process behind her music. Sierra also reflects on her love of the stage, the evolution of her sound, and how music connects people, whether through live shows or her involvement in community outreach efforts like clothing drives following recent fires. The conversation dives deeper into Sierra's musical family, including her mom's background vocals for Jimmy Buffett and studio work with Pink Floyd, and her own experiences in the family's band, The Tin Drum Family Band. Sierra discusses her favorite genres, instruments, and how digital media compares to the energy of live music. She also touches on the resurgence of Yacht Rock and its influence on her father's career, upcoming events at Cornell Wine Company, and her role as a music teacher during the week. From her humble beginnings at Cornell to her multifaceted role as performer, teacher, and event planner, Sierra's story is one of passion, community, and the power of music.

If you are exploring the rise of prog rock, it doesn't take long until you encounter the power trio of Emerson, Lake & Palmer.  This progressive rock band is actually a supergroup.  Keyboardist Keith Emerson came from The Nice, vocalist and guitarist Greg Lake was in King Crimson, and percussionist Carl Palmer was from Atomic Rooster.  Emerson, Lake & Palmer formed in 1970 and would make their mark as a prog rock band which adapted classic and symphonic music into the rock genre, with elements of jazz, acoustic, and art rock coming into play.  Most ELP songs are long and complicated, not making any attempt to stay within the confines of the “hit single” pop track.Trilogy is the trio's third studio album, following their eponymously named debut, their second studio album entitled “Tarkus,” and their live album, Pictures at an Exhibition.  Trilogy continues a tradition of combining original material with adaptations of classical music.  It was also a challenging album for the group to make, utilizing more overdubs than previous albums.  The upside is a great sounding, polished album.  The downside is that the music was difficult to duplicate live, causing a number of the songs from Trilogy to be minimally used in set lists.The album was considered both a critical and commercial success, reaching number 2 on the UK albums chart, and number 5 on the US Billboard 200 chart.ELP would continue as a force in the 70's, breaking up in 1979.  Both partial and full reunions would continue through the 1980's and 1990's, with their final performance being held in 2010.  Both Keith Emerson and Greg Lake died in 2016.Wayne takes us through this prog rock masterpiece for this week's podcast. FugueWe open with an instrumental featuring Keith Emerson on keyboards.  A fugue is a style of music involving counterpoint, popular in the Baroque musical era of the 1600's.  You will get exposure to a lot of serious musical compositions and style listening to this group.From the BeginningThis is the "hit" from the album, if you think of Emerson, Lake & Palmer in terms of popularity.  It went to number 29 on the US charts, and is the highest charting US single.  Greg Lake wrote the music and lyrics, and plays the acoustic guitar for this ballad.  The lyrics take on a philosophical sone, emphasizing the importance of the present moment, while not missing past mistakes and missed opportunities.  The SheriffKeith Emerson wrote the music and Greg Lake wrote the lyrics to this western-themed track.  It tells the story of an innocent man fleeing the law, encountering the law in the form of the Sheriff, then taking the Sheriff's place after shooting him.  It ends with a great honkytonk piano solo.HoedownImmediately following “The Sheriff” on the album, the group creates an adaptation of Aaron Copeland's iconic “Hoe-Down,” written for his classic ballet entitled “Rodeo” in 1942.  This tune became well known after being used in advertisements by America's Beef Producers.   ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main theme from the motion picture “Super Fly”Curtis Mayfield created this song for the black-oriented crime drama film of the same name. STAFF PICKS:Best Thing by StyxBruce leads off the staff picks with the first single from Styx's first album.  Dennis DeYoung and James Young wrote the song and trade off on lead vocals.  It peaked at number 82 on the Billboard Hot 100.  This is a great tune to hear and grasp what the early days of Styx sounded like.  Rock and Roll, part 2 by Gary GlitterRob brings us a glam rock anthem made famous today by its use in sports stadiums nation wide.  This single off “Glitter,” the debut album by Gary Glitter, is the only one of his singles to crack the U.S. top 10.  Both “Rock and Roll” part 1 and part 2 peaked at number 2 on the UK singles chart.Brandy (You're A Fine Girl) by Looking GlassIt is a mystery how Lynch was able to pick up this well-known classic of yacht rock this late in the podcasts.  This track tells the story of a waitress who gives her love to a sailor, knowing that he would never be on shore for long.  Will It Go Round in Circles by Billy PrestonWayne's staff pick is a funky tune from the man often known as the fifth Beatle.  Preston played with a number of musicians, including Ray Charles, Little Richard, Sam Cook, Eric Clapton, Aretha Franklin, Joe Cocker, and of course the Beatles.  This soulful tune sold over a million copies and topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Walk In the Night by Junior Walker & the All StarsThis jazz-infused (largely) instrumental track closes out the podcast for the week.  Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

Elliot Lurie is a singer and songwriter best known for the hit “Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)”. Recorded by Looking Glass, featuring Lurie on vocals and guitar, “Brandy” was released in the summer of 1972. It quickly rose to the top of the charts, selling over a million copies and becoming one of the most played radio records of the year. Over time the song has endured, recorded by such disparate artists as Kenny Chesney and Red Hot Chili Peppers and featured in numerous films and TV productions including Charlie's Angels and The Simpsons. It was prominently featured in the blockbuster Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 in which Kurt Russell's character describes it as "possibly Earth's greatest composition"!

Did Looking Glass pretty much CREATE the yacht rock genre by writing a song about a man choosing his love of the sea over the love of a woman? “Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)” made it all the way to the top of the Billboard charts in 1972, and the song stayed in the public consciousness ever since…except in the instance of this week's guest PJ Caruso, who somehow didn't know this song until he heard it in Guardians of the Galaxy. It's hard to fathom how this is possible, but we'll try to figure it out in this week's episode. If you like the show, be sure to rate, review, and subscribe.

No-one expected the '70s song "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)" to endure. Least of all, ELLIOT LURIE who was the lead singer and main songwriter for the band Looking Glass, the group behind the hit song. The song has been on constant radio rotation since 1972 and has been featured in movies, TV shows and the Simpsons. Elliot is surprised by the song's staying power and admits it has certainly helped him build a career. He started playing guitar in high school bands and then in college he formed Looking Glass with two other guys. The band has had various drummers over the years but he and his bandmates decided to pursue music after college, renting a farmhouse in rural New Jersey to make demos. They drove their demos to New York City, eventually getting a manager and a record deal. After graduating college, Elliot told his parents that he and his bandmates were going to take one full year to see if they could make something out of their music. It was at that farmhouse that he wrote the song and he came up with the lyrics by playing around with a chord progression and singing the name of an old high school girlfriend, Randy. The singer then changed Randy's name to Brandy to make it more fitting for the story he wanted to tell. He explains that he had difficulty writing the chorus and had to run back and forth between the piano and his guitar to get it right. Elliot says the song's story came completely from his imagination and, contrary to urban legend, he had no prior background in the navy or sailing. He also confirms that his ex-girlfriend, Randy knew the song was written for her but had not been aware of this until it became a hit. Elliot revealed that the song had been recorded multiple times, first in a house, then again in a demo studio, and then with Steve Cropper in Memphis. When Clive Davis heard the song, he wanted studio musicians to help finish it, but Looking Glass insisted on playing their own instruments. "It doesn't surprise me as much that it was a number one hit record at the time as it does how well it has endured. I mean, it's endured better than a lot of records that were bigger hits at the time." -Elliot Lurie Elliot Lurie has enjoyed a successful music career spanning well over 50 years. He's not only been a singer/songwriter but has spent many years as a music director on several film scores. During the course of this interview he tells us all about his career path but keeps coming back to the fact that without Brandy, his musical career may never have gotten off the ground. As he puts it " it was luck and fate that led to the song becoming a hit." He does add, however, that many people may not know that Looking Glass definitely wasn't a 'one hit wonder' - they did score another Top 40 hit. Do you know which one that was? Find out this and much more this week. If you'd like to learn more about Elliot Lurie head for his website https://elliotlurie.com/ In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. How did Elliot Lurie's song "Brandy" become a number one hit? 2. What was the experience like of playing in a bar band in the 70s? 3.

Originating from southern California, “Yacht Rock” is mellow soft rock music from the 1970s and 1980s, incorporating jazz fusion, harmonized vocals, and bouncy rhythms. The name came from a 2005 web series of that title, influencing musicologists to further analyze. There's playlists, countdowns, online polls, cover bands, podcasts, and streaming stations branding yacht rock. At the helm of my own interpretation, I crafted a 10 song playlist in chronological order, to lyrically make you feel you're on a yacht.

Episode 441 of On Screen & Beyond - Elliot Lurie stops by to talk about his band Looking Glass that gave us the monster hit "Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)' and talks about his years on the road along with what he is up to now! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/on-screen-and-beyond/message

If you want to get technical about it, Looking Glass was NOT a one-hit wonder. "Brandy" was, to be sure, their biggest hit and the song that most people identify with the band. But "Jimmy Loves Mary-Anne," the opening track from their second album, spent only one week less on the Billboard Hot 100 chart than "Brandy" did. Okay, it peaked at #33 while "Brandy" spent most of its chart life at or near the top, but still. "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)" was actually a departure from their usual sound, which was a little more Jersey Shore Rock and Roll. This wound up creating a little trouble for audiences who came to see them expecting to hear an entire evening of "Brandy"-grade music, and it probably contributed to the demise of the band. Founding member Elliot Lurie left the band in 1974 for a solo career, and by the end of the next year the band changed names twice and moved into a power pop/metal sound. That band, called Starz, did have a couple of hits and they do still play from time to time. Lurie, meanwhile, moved into the production and music supervision side of things for awhile, and occasionally returns to live performances. Click here for a transcript of this episode.

This week rock guitar God Eddie Van Halen died after a long battle with throat cancer. As a guitar who was 13 when Van Halen's first album was released, and whose band provided the soundtrack to my adolescent years this hit me hard. With this in mind, I wanted to talk about things podcasters can learn from Eddie Van Halen.

Order on Amazon.com Van Halen Took Years to Build Their Audience The band was formed in 1972. Some of the top songs in 1972 were Saturday in the park in Chicago, Brandy (You're a fine girl), I'll take you there (the staple singers). Not exactly a thriving time of high energy, guitar-oriented hard rock. They played clubs for years. In 1976 (four years later) Gene Simmons of Kiss financed a demo tape, and arranged a performance in front of Kiss's management and was told that "they had no chance of making it" and that they wouldn't take them. Gene then removed himself from further involvement. A year later when they were playing the famed "Starwood: club Ted Templeman of Warner Brother saw the band and they were offered a contract. Good Planning Leads to Less Editing As they had been playing clubs for years, the band was well-rehearsed and ready to go. Their first album was recorded in three weeks with almost no overdubs. You Don't Need to Spend a Ton of Cash There are two popular guitars in rock music. A Stratocaster has a thin sound and used by blues players and it had a whammy bar. A Les Paul has a thicker, chunkier sound. Eddie took the guts of a Less Paul and put them into the Stratocaster (called the Frankencaster). He made the guitar himself using a guitar body that cost fifty dollars and a guitar neck that cost eighty. He ended up with a thicker, chunkier guitar tone that had a whammy bar. The guitar that cost $130 to make has a replica that now goes for thousands of dollars. He stated that because he was poor he had to find ways to make the noises on the guitar. He Learned Through Trial And Error In the process of creating his own guitar, Eddie states, "I ruined a bunch of stuff." The bottom line he never stopped experimenting. In the song intruder, you hear Eddie creating bizarre sounds on his guitar. It turns out that some of those sounds were Eddie Swiping a Schlitz beer can up and down the neck. In the song poundcake, Eddie uses an electric drill. The bizarre noise on Automic Punk is Eddie running the side of his hands up and down the strings. He was always looking for ways to make different noises (like an elephant) with his guitar. The strange wooshing noise in the middle of the song Panama is Eddie's Lamborgini. He had an endless curiosity and was constantly experimenting. He Never Learned How To Read Music He would watch his teacher's fingers and then play whatever he just saw. His parents forced him to play the piano and won contests when he was ages 9-11. After using the Beatles and the Dave Clark Five he picked up the guitar. Because he never learned guitars lessons "by the book" he believes he wouldn't play the way he does if he had done "Traditional" guitar studies. Inventions Around Van Halen I mentioned how he created his own guitar. He holds a patent for a device that allows you to stand and hold the guitar flat. He perfected a style of playing called "tapping" where he play notes with both hands. This lead to the invention of guitar tablature as people couldn't figure out how to put down on paper what he was doing on the fretboard. Enjoy Your Soup How did Van Halen get their sound? Drummer Alex Van Halen prefers straight forward rock. Eddie liked progressive rock, and David Lee Roth like disco at the time. Eddie referred to this as ingredients in your soup. I like singer Gary Cherone from the band Extreme. He joined Van Halen and recorded Van Halen III. On that album bassist Michael Anthony has stated that Eddie told him what and how to play, Gary stated that Eddie was playing bass and drums, making it more or less an Eddie Van Halen Solo album. One point here is this album came out in 1998, and was not sober until 2008. This was the first album to not go platinum (it did achieve Gold status). I was also the longest studio album.  Embrace Who You Are When they were in the clubs, they were playing covers. As Eddie put it, no matter how hard I tried I couldn't play what was on the record. I could only be me. Consequently, when you hear a Van Halen record, it sounds like a Van Halen record. Go To Where Your Audience is and Promote Nonstop When they couldn't get a record deal they started throwing their own parties and concerts. They toured for 11 months straight to promote their first album including 23 shows in 25 days in the UK. When he got home Warner Brothers alerted the band that they owed the record label three million dollars and a new album. They wouldn't take no for an answer. They stuffed flyers in lockers of high schools. If you liked them or not, you were at least going to know about the band. Slowly they built an audience of 3-5000 people which attracted the attention of Warner Brothers. He Was Always Nervous Going On Stage In the early days, he asked his Dad how he dealy with stage fright. His father gave him alcohol and cigarettes (and would later die from Alcohol-related issues). After Eddie got sober, his son was in the band and Eddie said, "If my sixteen-year-old son can be out there kicking butt, then I guess I better get out there." You Don't Have To Release Everything Eddie built himself a studio and was always recording, experimenting, but it is assumed that there is quite a bit of music that was not released. Have Fun One of the things you can hear in a Van Halen record is fun. Watch Eddie play guitar and you will see one thing that never changes. He smiles. Why? Because he came to this country from Holland with his parents who brought a piano and what amounted to $50. He didn't speak the language and got bullied as he was considered a minority. Money Changes Everything In the book Runnin' wit the Devil" he states that the Van Halen brothers (along with David Lee Roth) gave Michael Anthony an ultimatum right around the time the “1984” album came out. In a nutshell, they did not believe Michael’s contributions to the band’s music entitled him to an equal 1/4 split of the profits, so they drew-up a contract that stipulated that he would no longer share in any royalties from Van Halen recordings from the “1984” album on, and I believe it also limited what he would receive from the previous records, touring, and merchandise sales as well. In effect, while Michael would technically still be in the band, he would essentially become a paid employee from that point on. Most die-hard fans found this offensive. We want to believe you all get along and are best buddies. Put Your Family First In 2006 Eddie Van Halen replaced Michael Anthony with his son Wolfgang. He knew this was not going to be a popular choice, but he put his family first. What father wouldn't want to play with his son? Communication is the Lubrication Eddie Van Halen wasn't on social media. The website as I write this now does not even have a notice that Eddie has died. For years his audience had no idea what he was up to. Michael Anthony found out he had been replaced via the Internet. He could have kept that connection stronger by keeping people in the loop.  Why? Eddie was a nice guy, but an introvert. He just wanted to make music. Upon his cancer diagnosis, he retreated even further.  Profit From Your Podcast Is Available Thanks to Letitia Evans who was the first to write a review of my new book Profit from your podcast: Proven Strategies to Turn Listeners into a Livelihood.

Looking Glass made a brief, but lasting impact in 1972 when they scored the #1 smash "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)" off their debut album. After only one more album in 1973, the band broke up and Brandy's songwriter Elliot Lurie put out one non-starting solo album in 1975 before his music career basically ended. He went on to a long and successful career as a music supervisor for films and is responsible for the soundtracks to films like 9 1/2 Weeks, The Last of the Mohicans, and Jumping Jack Flash. In more recent years, thanks to the rise of the yacht rock movement, as well as the inclusion of "Brandy" in the uber successful Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack, Elliot is enjoying a comfortable life.

Proving that the black audience will take, a non 'super black' exploitation movie seriously.   31.    QUESTION: What pops out for you?   32.    Socio-political (1st major shift to a new direction, political power)   33.    Shirley Anita Chisholm, (@ 47): politician, educator, and author of "Unbought and Unbossed! -1970 autobiographies.   34.    in 1972, she became the first black person EVER to run for POTUS AND the first woman to run for the Democrats.   35.    Already, in 1968, she was the first black woman elected to Congress.   36.    Her campaign was underfunded, dismissed as a symbolic, & basically ignored by the power structure.   37.    And she was not instantly a heroine for black people.   38.    Of course, black male colleagues showed little love: "When I ran for the Congress, when I ran for president, I met more discrimination as a woman than for being black. Men are men.... They think I am trying to take power from them. The black man must step     39.    forward, but that doesn't mean the black woman must step back."   40.    QUESTION: Is this the real reason more black women haven't run? (only other black woman was Carol Moseley Braun from Il in 2004)   41.    About her legacy, she said, “I want to be remembered as a woman … who dared to be a catalyst of change.” (Obama?)   42.    Famous Quotes:   43.    "Tremendous amounts of talent are lost to our society just because that talent wears a skirt."   44.    "The emotional, sexual, and psychological stereotyping of females begins when the doctor says, 'It's a girl'."   45.    "In the end, anti-black, anti-female, and all forms of discrimination are equivalent to the same thing - anti-humanism."   46.    Conclusion: In our lifetime we saw THE MOST successful path for black advancement. Politics. Only 36 years from Shirley to Obama.   47.    Shirley Chisholm was an underappreciated legend and icon.   48.    Other Comments?   49.    Meanwhile...the Black Power Movement is falling apart! (2nd major shift)   50.    1971-1972 the Panthers split into different camps. Huey vs Eldrigdge   51.    They went "Hatfield vs McCoy" and started retaliatory assassinations.   52.    H. Rap Brown (@ 29), is the latest high-profile BPM figure to fall.   53.    Others include: Angela Davis, Assata Shakur, Elaine Brown, Eldridge Cleaver, Fred Hampton, Huey P. Newton, Stokely Carmichael, and Bobby Seale   54.    H Rap Brown sentenced for an attack on a New York City bar?!?!   55.    Currently serving a life sentence for murder after shooting of two Sheriff's deputies in 2000.   56.    He was known for taking over SNCC after Stokely and his autobiography, Die Nigger Die!   57.    Probably most famous for saying, "violence is as American as cherry pie” -and- "If America don't come around, we're gonna burn it down."   58.    QUESTION: Was the decline of the BPM more internal (reliance on the gun and violence), external (black people lost interest) -OR- did black people choose to go the "integration" route?   59.    Conclusion: The BPM had a great message: Pride, Self-reliance, and education. But, I think they were too extreme.   60.    Other Comments:   61.    Music: 1972 Top Singles   #1 Roberta Flack    The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face #2 Gilbert O’Sullivan    Alone Again (Naturally) #3 Don McLean    American Pie #4 Nilsson    Without You #5 Sammy Davis Jr.    Candy Man #6 Joe Tex    I Gotcha #7 Bill Withers    Lean On Me #8 Mac Davis    Baby Don’t Get Hooked On Me #9 Melanie    Brand New Key #10 Wayne Newton    Daddy Dont You Walk So Fast #11 Al Green    Let’s Stay Together #12 Looking Glass    Brandy (You’re A Fine Girl) #13 Chi-Lites    Oh Girl #14 Gallery    Nice To Be With You #15 Chuck Berry    My Ding-A-Ling #16 Luther Ingram    If Loving You Is Wrong I Don’t Want To Be Right #17 Neil Young    Heart Of Gold #18 Stylistics    Betcha By Golly, Wow #19 Staple Singers    I’ll Take You There #20 Michael Jackson    Ben #21 Robert John    The Lion Sleeps Tonight #22 Billy Preston    Outa-space #23 War    Slippin’ Into Darkness #24 Hollies    Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress) #25 Mouth and MacNeal    How Do You Do #26 Neil Diamond    Song Sung Blue #27 America    A Horse With No Name #28 Hot Butter    Popcorn #29 Main Ingredient    Everybody Plays The Fool #30 Climax    Precious And Few   62.    Vote: Best Single, __________________________________   63.    1972 Albums   64.    Jan - There's a Riot Going' On - Sly & the Family Stone   65.    Jan - Black Moses - Isaac Hayes   66.    Mar - Solid Rock - The Temptations   67.    Mar - Let's Stay Together - Al Green   68.    May - First Take - Roberta Flack   69.    Jun - A Lonely Man - The Chi-Lites   70.    Jul - Still Bill - Bill Withers   71.    Oct - Super Fly Soundtrack - Curtis Mayfield   72.    Nov - All Directions - The Temptations   73.    Dec - I'm Still In Love With You - Al Green   74.    Vote: Best Album, __________________________________   75.    Key Artist - Diana Ross (@28): Singer, songwriter, actress, and record producer. Born and raised in Detroit.   76.    Became famous as the lead singer the Supremes, the best charting girl group in history. With twelve number-one hit singles. ("Where Did Our Love Go", "Baby Love", "Come See About Me", "Stop! In the Name of Love", "You Can't Hurry Love", "You Keep Me     77.    Hangin' On", "Love Child", and "Someday We'll Be Together", etc...)   78.    The movie dream girls was inspired by the group   79.    She also did a few big films: Lady Sings the Blues, Mahogany, The Wiz, etc...   80.    Question: Here's my problem with The Boss. Mary Wilson was the heart and soul of the Supremes. Florence Ballard was the best singer. Diana was what?   81.    Conclusion: The Supremes were deliberately glamorous, because Gordy wanted all of Motown to be crossover artists. Beyonce has real game, I'm not convinced Diana wasn't just hyped up.    82.    Other Comments:   83.    Key Artist - Al Green (@26): singer, songwriter and record produce. Born in AR, grew up in Michigan, discovered in Memphis.   84.    Kicked out of the house when his very religious daddy caught him listening to Jackie Wilson.   85.    Quote: "I also listened to Mahalia Jackson, all the great gospel singers. But the most important music to me was those hip-shaking’ boys: Wilson Pickett and Elvis Presley. I just loved Elvis Presley. Whatever he got, I went out and bought."   86.    Started out in 1967, flashed in 1971 with the album, "Al Green Gets Next to You", PEAKED in 1972 with 2 albums - "Let's Stay Together" & "I'm Still in Love with You", and capped 1973 with the lp "Call Me", a critically acclaimed "Masterpiece!"   87.    Basically, everything we love about Al was dropped in that 3-year window.   88.    1974 he was born again   89.    Soon after that his "girlfriend" dumped boiling grits on him in the bathtub before shooting and killing herself. (with his gun!?)   90.    By 1976, he was ready to go gospel.   91.    His longtime producer, Willie Mitchell (the guy who discovered him and crafted his music), passed on doing gospel music. (Bounced check story)   92.    1977, he dropped "The Belle Album", his 12th. Rolling Stone magazine said, "We may someday look back on The Belle Album as Al Green’s best"   93.    Question: Just an observation really. This is the 3rd major shift in 1972. Al didn't make political or activist music. Some said he was the last great "Soul Man". In 1971 Marvin asked, what's going on. During 1972, in the middle of war protests, Watergate, an     94.    election, civil rights protests, the Panthers shooting up the streets, Al Green made LOVE ok again.   95.    Other Comments:   96.    Vote: Key Artists, ________________________________   97.    Movies   98.    Lady Sings the Blues: Based on Lady Sings the Blues by Billie Holiday   99.    Starring: Diana Ross (@28), Billy Dee Williams (@35), Richard Pryor (@32)   100.    Blacula: important because it was a successful black horror film   101.    Buck and the Preacher: important for casting blacks as leads in a western and was the first film Sidney Poitier directed   102.    Super Fly: 4th Major shift (The streets are talking)   103.    Priest is done with the clothes, the cars, the drugs, the money, and the white women.   104.    But, his partner, Eddie isn’t.   105.    Quote (Eddie talking to Priest): "You're gonna give all this up? 8-Track Stereo, color T.V. in every room, and can snort a half a piece of dope everyday?

Ain't it?"   106.    Curtis Mayfield (@30) wrote and produced the AMAZING soundtrack.   107.    Starring: Ron O’Neal (@35), Carl Lee (@46), Sheila Frazier (@24)   108.    At the time of its release, lots of black folks didn't like what Super Fly was representing.   109.    Quote from the Hollywood NAACP branch: “we must insist that our children are not exposed to a steady diet of so-called black movies that glorify black males as pimps, dope pushers, gangsters, and super males.”   110.    The filmmakers (White producer / black director) say they wanted to show the negative and empty aspects of the drug subculture.   111.    Regardless, Super Fly landed BIG TIME with the "post-Civil Rights" generation.   112.    They thought Eddie spoke the gospel.   113.    Quote (Eddie talking to Priest): " I know it's a rotten game, but it's the only one The Man left us to play. That's the stone, cold truth."   114.    Question: Ultimately, what is the legacy of Superfly?   115.    Conclusion: I really enjoyed the movie. However, it blatantly dismissed the BPM, and spoke directly to the criminal elements in the black community. This movie, along with the "Urban" writers, Donald Goines and Iceberg Slim, helped spawn a generation     116.    of criminals. That can't be a good thing.   117.    Other comments:   118.    Vote: Key movie, ____________________________________   119.    Television   120.    Jan - Sanford and Son debuts on NBC (6 seasons)   121.    Groundbreaking: 1st "Black" cast sit-com on the air...at least 2yrs before: That's My Mama ('74), Good Times ('74), The Jeffersons ('75), and What's Happening!!('76)   122.    Theme music by Quincy Jones (@39)   123.    Starring: Redd Foxx (@50), and Demond Wilson (@26)   124.    Foxx was born in St. Louis, raised in Chicago, and ran the streets with pre-Muslim Malcolm X back in the day.   125.    He came up performing raunchy comedy and developed a cult following in the 50's and 60's.   126.    In 1970 he flashed in the comedy movie "Cotton Comes to Harlem" and the producer of All in the Family hit him up.   127.    Question: Is Lamont crazy? Quote: "MLK left black people hooked on economic dependence and Sanford and Son taught entrepreneurship"   128.    Conclusion: Undeniably funny. Redd had the respect and help from some of the best young comics in the business, black and white. Classic!   129.    Other Comments:   130.    Sep - Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids (8 seasons)   131.    Fat Albert first popped up in 1967 during Cosby's stand-up comedy routine "Buck Buck,"   132.    Starring: Bill Cosby (@35)   133.    Born and raised in Philly.
