This is an Encore Presentation of my October 2021 interview with Joey Dee, star of Joey Dee and the Starlighters. Joey wrote and sang “The Peppermint Twist”, a #1 song in 1962 that became part of the worldwide “twist” dance craze phenomenon. He and the band were the house band at The Peppermint Lounge in NYC, where people lined up each night to get in to rub elbows with the stars of that era including Jackie Kennedy, Judy Garland and John Wayne. The list of famous musicians who played with Joey includes Jimi Hendrix, Ronnie Spector of the Ronettes and Felix Cavaliere of The Rascals.My featured song is my reimagined version of Dobie Gray's hit, “The ‘In' Crowd” from the album PGS 7 by my band, Project Grand Slam.

TVC 694.1: Ed welcomes back Tom Lisanti, renowned historian of sixties cinema, and the author of such books as Carol Lynley: Her Film & TV Career in Thrillers, Fantasy and Suspense and Ryan's Hope: An Oral History of Daytime's Groundbreaking Soap. Tom's recent books include Dueling Harlows: The Race to Bring the Actress's Life to the Silver Screen, everything you wanted to know about the two major motion pictures released in 1965 about screen legend Jean Harlow—both of which happened to be named Harlow—and the highly publicized efforts by rival producers Bill Sargent and Joseph Levine to out-do each other. Sargent's Harlow, a quickly made independent movie starring Carol Lynley, was filmed in black and white, using Sargent's patented technology Electronovision. Levine's Harlow, a big budget biopic starring Carroll Baker, was filmed in color for Paramount Pictures. Both Harlows were originally released within a few weeks of each other in 1965; both are available now on home entertainment. Dueling Harlows is available from McFarlandPub.com. Topics this segment include why the Lynley/Sargent Harlow is much better than what the original reviews would suggest; how Lynley originally signed on because Judy Garland was attached to the project, only to remain stuck on it once Garland quit; and why the real-life story of Harlow herself generated such interest in movie makers.
Watch this episode ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon and get a free trial for the ITBR Professor level! patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroomJoin us "somewhere over the rainbow" for a very special all things The Wonderful Wizard of Oz universe themed episode. I'm joined with the co-editors of Broadview Press' new edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Professors Dina Schiff Massachi and Mark I. West. This episode couldn't come out (okay I couldn't help myself there) at a better time since asking someone if they were a "friend of Dorothy" was slang in the 20th century for being part of the LGBT community. First, Dina and Mark provide scholarly insight into L. Frank Baum's Oz books and how he created an original American fairy tale. We talk all about the numerous adaptations that Baum's books have inspired including the iconic MGM film, Return to Oz, and Gregory's Maguire's Wicked. As Dina reminds us, Baum's work was progressive for its time especially the strong female characters who challenge gender norms, and in Dina's opinion, Baum's Dorothy might be more feminist than Judy Garland's Dorothy! Dina and Mark explain that this new Broadview edition not only provides historical context for deeper analysis but also the original illustrations.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 10ú lá de mí an Mheithimh, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1967 bhí an t-iarratas ón Bhreatain chun téigh isteach chuig an Chómhargadh Eorpach chun a bheith cuir I láthair sa Bhruiséil an lá tar éis. I 1994 níor ghlac na vótálaithe leis an toghchán Eorpach an lá roimhe in ainneoin na easaontas idir na hiarrthóirí. I 1967 tháinig an nuacht amach go mbeadh na marcach fir agus mná I Meiriceá chun úsáid diallait agus trealamh marcaíochta eile a bhí lámhdhéanta sa chontae. I 1983 bhí gradam do dhuine den bhliain, cóisir agus tóraíocht taisce ar siúil ag féile bruach abhann I gCill Rois. Sin Wet Wet Wet le Love Is All Around – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1994. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1991 ghabh Eddie Kendricks ó The Temptations nuair a bhí sé ag freastal ar sochraid d'amhránaí David Ruffin I Detroit de bharr nár íoc sé 26 míle dollar de thacaíocht leanaí. I 1993 bhí leathanach iomlán ag Sinéad O'Connor san Irish Times agus dúirt sí gan í a ghortú a thuilleadh. Chuir sí milleán ar an drochíde a fuair sí nuair a bhí sí níos óige. Cháin daoine í nuair a srac sí pictiúr den Phápa nuair a bhí sí ar Saturday Night Live an bhliain roimhe. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh amhránaí Gayle I Meiriceá I 2004 agus rugadh aisteoir Judy Garland I Meiriceá I 1922 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sí. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 10th of June, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1967: Britians formal application to join the european common market was to be presented in Brussels tomorrow morning. 1994: voters gave a massive thumbsdown to the european election yesterday despite campaign clashes between high profile candidates. 1967: in the next two years, the top horsemen and women in the US were to use saddles and other ridinng equipment made in co.clare. 1983: the person of the year awards and superstars novelty party and treasure hunt took place on this years kilrush riverside festival. That was Wet Wet Wet with Love Is All Around – the biggest song on this day in 1994 Onto music news on this day In 1991 Temptations member Eddie Kendricks was arrested while attending the funeral of soul singer David Ruffin in Detroit on charges of owing $26,000 ($15,294) in child support. 1993 Irish singer Sinead O'Connor took out a full-page ad in the Irish Times asking the public to "stop hurting me please." She blamed her troubles on abuse she suffered as a child. O'Connor was still being criticized for ripping up a picture of the Pope during an appearance on Saturday Night Live the previous October And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – singer Gayle was born in America in 2004 and actress Judy Garland was born in America on this day in 1922 and this is some of the stuff she has done. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

In this episode, Shanté and Danny commemorate a year of episodes with a Judy Garland movie celebrating its 80th anniversary!
“El maravilloso mago de Oz” es el título de la historia original escrita por L. Frank Baum en 1900 y que fuera inmortalizada en el cine por Judy Garland en 1939 como “El mago de Oz”. En 1978, llega al cine la versión conformada por un elenco afroamericano de grandes figuras encabezadas por Diana Ross como Dorothy, y Michael Jackson como el Espantapájaros, que ya no estaban en Kansas sino en el mismísimo Harlem de Nueva York. En la historia, Dorothy y sus amigos -el Espantapájaros, el Hombre de hojalata y el León- emprenden un viaje no tan relajado por el camino de las lozas amarillas hasta llegar a ver al Mago de Oz para poder cumplir sus deseos. Aunque la película no fue un éxito de taquilla ni de la crítica, The Wiz si fue el camino amarillo que Michael recorrió para conocer al Mago que transformaría su carrera: Quincy Jones. El set fue el lugar donde estos grandes artistas pudieron entablar una relación personal y profesional que cambiaría la historia de la música para siempre.

Singer Erin Schwab has been singing to the accompaniments of pianist Jay Fuchs for a long time. Their performances are audience engaging with requests and a lot of dialog back and forth. But for many in the audience what really makes the show are the treatments of Judy Garland and Bette Midler songs. Erin and Jay told how the show came into being when they talked to Phil Nusbaum.

Broadway Musical, and we do not hold back with our reviews so buckle up for an energetic and lively conversation that asks did the musical match the energy of the TV show? Spoilers Ahead So Skip and Just Listen to the Episode If You Don't Want to Know Our True Feelings:The positive aspects first...Robyn Hurder is incredibly talented and her charisma, vocal power, and dance moves light up the stage!If you have never seen the TV show before, you are definitely going to not have as much to critique than if you were a major fan of the show (like the three of us). If you like plays that have a lot of music in them, then this musical is for you! We get into what we mean by this even though the Tony Awards have categorized this as a musical. Now our critiques...The Bombshell musical numbers are not properly highlighted and there are so many missed opportunities to explore the different dimensions of Marilyn's life. As Andrew says, this could have been a musical about any iconic celebrity's life, like Judy Garland, and it would have had the same effect. The creative team is more concerned about showing the behind the scenes of creating a Broadway musical, more so than what the material is about. Now if anyone from the creative or cast happen to encounter this review, first we absolutely love the talent that is on stage, and we are major fans of Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman's work (I mean Hairspray is iconic), we just didn't happen to thoroughly enjoy this adaptation of the TV show. We found both pros and cons in this adaptation, and we encourage everyone listening to go and see this musical. Judge it for yourself. That's what the arts are about!

It's no secret that Tony Award-winning actress Annaleigh Ashford is a versatile force to be reckoned with! From her captivating performances on Broadway in 'Legally Blonde' and 'Wicked' to her current role on the small screen in the true crime drama "Happy Place," she's proven she can do it all! Act, sing, and dance, but did you know she's also good at impressions?Ever get together with a friend you're comfortable around, and you let loose and start making silly voices? That happens a lot when Annaleigh joins Sophia on the pod, and it's hilarious! Besides slipping into her 'puppet Judy Garland' character, the actress talks about her new series based on a real-life story and why it's different from other true crime drama shows, making the transition from stage to television, and why it's so easy to slip into people-pleasing mode on sets. Plus, she opens up about working alongside the late great James Earl Jones on the Broadway revival of "You Can't Take It With You" and the surprising request he made near the end of their show's run that taught her an unforgettable lesson!

Almost 60 years after Judy Garland's tragic death, she still remains one of Hollywood's most fascinating (and heartbreaking) talents. As a girl, her powerful voice catches the attention of legendary movie producer, Louis B. Mayer, and she's on her way. Thanks to her iconic role in “The Wizard of Oz,” Judy cements herself as one of the world's biggest and brightest stars. But a steady cocktail of uppers and downers as a youngster - prescribed by doctors at MGM - will haunt the “Over the Rainbow” singer for the rest of her way-too-short life. But despite her untimely death, Judy's legacy lives on.You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.

VisitMineralWells.comTucked away in the heart of Texas lies Mineral Wells, a town whose identity was forever shaped by a peculiar discovery in 1877. When Judge Alvis Lynch and his wife settled in this then-barren land, they struck something more valuable than gold – mineral-rich water with seemingly miraculous healing properties. With Rose Jordan as our expert guide, we journey through time to uncover how this unassuming place transformed into "America's Great Health Resort" where people would flock to "drink their way to health." The story behind the famous "Crazy Water" name proves particularly fascinating – originating from a local woman whose mental health noticeably improved after regularly drinking from the town's third well. What was once dismissed as superstition is now understood through the lens of modern science as potentially addressing severe mineral deficiencies affecting brain chemistry.The architectural treasures of Mineral Wells tell their own compelling stories. With over 100 historic buildings preserved in its nationally registered historic district, the town stands as a testament to resilience and preservation. We explore the magnificent Baker Hotel, constructed in 1929 just after the stock market crash, which hosted celebrities like Judy Garland and The Three Stooges before closing its doors in 1972. After sitting vacant for decades, this architectural marvel is now undergoing a painstaking restoration that symbolizes the town's rebirth – a project locals jokingly said would happen "when pigs fly."The story of Mineral Wells is ultimately one of reinvention and hope. From its decline following FDA restrictions and the closure of Fort Walters military base to its recent designation as the "Wellness Capital of Texas," the community demonstrates how honoring heritage while embracing modern wellness can breathe new life into a historic destination. Join us as we discover how this remarkable town is reclaiming its identity through water, wellness, and a community that refused to give up on their flying pigs.Continue listening to our Mineral Wells series to learn how this historic health resort is positioning itself for a vibrant future. What healing properties might you discover in this unique Texas destination?Thanks for your ongoing support!http://paypal.me/TheROAMiesAlexa and RoryThe ROAMiesPlease subscribe, rate and share our podcast!

With a few clicks of their ruby slippers, MGM made 16-year-old Judy Garland a box office giant, but their strict rules nearly killed the budding starlet in the process. The studio's strict diet of chicken soup, uppers, and downers set up teenage Judy for a life fraught with addiction, malnutrition, extreme health complications, and regular visits to rehab. Even years after Judy severed ties with the MGM, the effects of her highly-regulated adolescence creeped into her career, literally poisoning her life — and her liver. A star was born when Judy filmed The Wizard of Oz, but by her late forties, that same star was in rapid decline.
