Prisoners/ career criminals, whatever they do to adults, are essentially family men. When they know or believe a pedo exists in their midst...well, they take care of business with "short eyes"...sometimes this means mistakes get made, "collateral damage": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076706/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:CONNIE FRANCIS "among my souveniers" B/W "do you love me like you kiss me?" 1959
im not a big fan of Connie, but i like a few of her singles, this not being one of them...
my dad used to love Connie, so there may be more of her singles to come
this one peaked at #11 on the UK charts
Here's Connie's Wkik page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connie_Francis
"among my souveniers" *

"do you love me like you kiss me?" *
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAV5Zv4pTJI audio link
Connie Francis' angelic angst always stroked me. Add to that the personal tragedies she suffered...There's an '89 recording of her reprising her hits plus other good songs--opinions are mixed but most like this mature re-visiting *: http://www.amazon.com/Where-Hits-Are-Connie-Francis/dp/B000001KRI/ref=sr_1_1
Some tunes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqgl0VRJW0E << An eternal fave on Fire Island and SF's Castro district
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECOthzFvUXY << 2:41 of eternal truth
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihoZcWJkZ-8 << Take that, sucka chump

SEMI-BONUS: A medley on a TV show in '89: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30kiKBx1M9Q
* It's on Malaco of all labels--best known for modern soul and Gospel. Go figure.

UK pianist/instrumentalist...
personally i'd not heard of him until i picked out this single...
its really not my thing at all but it did hit #1 on the UK charts back in the day
here's Russ' Wiki page for those interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russ_Conway#Singles

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gPrvoN4c7g audio
...and this is before "pixilated" had its modern meaning--he meant "tipsy". Here's a fun piece when he was 70: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBVp6kIqVWw

I actually wondered what his meaning of Pixilated meant, so thanks for that Jazzy.
Thanks for the other link also, I'm not a fan but he is obviously very good with his "weapon of choice"..
Also,
Is a real surprise to know my dad obviously liked this enough to but it,always thought he just liked simple rock and roll.

GEORGIE FAME & THE BLUE FLAMES "in the meantime" B/W "telegram" 1965
Georgie's UK followup to "yeah yeah"....
this one only managed to peak at #22 for some reason...
i love the "A" side, and like the "B" side track...
i really should invest in a compilation i guess!
here's his Wiki page for those who missed it on the last Georgie post: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgie_Fame

THE DIXIE CUPS "chapel of love" B/W "aint that nice" 1964

LITTLE JIMMY OSMOND "long haired lover from liverpool" B/W "mother of mine" 1972
youngest sibling of the Osmond brood....
as annoying as his whiney little voice is, i actually like both sides of this disc....
when he hit #1 on the UK charts with this, he became the youngest person to score a #1 in the UK(aged 9yrs)
