############################# POLLOCK AND POLLOCK MUSIC BIO


1960's.

We began as singer songwriters. In the late 1960's my sister Natalie and I went to New York City and met singer Dionne Warwick. She produced recordings of our songs with us singing them. We were then signed up to Capitol Records by Artie Kornfeld. At the same time he was producing the famous Woodstock festival.


1970's.

We had 3 recordings on Billboard Magazines in 1974-75 on their national U.S. Charts. "You Foxy Thing I Love You" made it to no. 23. "Dance Music" went to no. 28. "Smile On Me" was no. 35.


1980's till the present -- TV'S "Pollock and Pollock Gossip Show" (see above)


OUR MUSIC ON THE DVD
Barrow edited the documentary into DVD form including special features not in the documentary, including a recording of ours from 1972 called "Six Times" which garnered quite a lot of radio play at the time it came out (top ten at CFRW Winnipeg). It can be heard in the "Fabulous!" playlist on this site. Also included is an early 1980's recording of us performing our song "What'll I do, after you're gone".
