Golden Throats - Kurt Russell

[MichaelHansenFUN]

Tommy Roe - Dizzy - 45 RPM Original Hot Mono Mix

[Anglynn74]

this actually sounds pretty good, almost exactly like the original

[gymnastix]

@Anglynn74 You're correct.

Typically, these "Golden Throats" songs are covers of rock &roll songs by actors who may not sing all that well, sometimes talking their way through a song's lyrics. But this does sound an awful lot like the Tommy Roe original of this song, Kurt Russell singing very decently.

[gymnastix]

@Anglynn74 In fact, if this recording is any indcation, Russell's singing is nearly as good as his acting. And, from what I have heard and read, Russell was also a pretty fair baseball player who almost made the Major Leagues.

This is good,better than I thought it would be

[CesMan83]

Stuntman Mike...BEFORE the homicidal mania

[mierpaul]

I read this song was the original theme to Kurt Russell's, "The Thing."

[monkeysoulpoet]

@mierpaul Someone should cut a video.

[nealadams70]

my 3rd grade teacher was mad in love with Kurt ...I wonder what happened to Mr Connors...

[gymnastix]

@nealadams70 How old was Mr. Connors at the time you were in third grade?

And how long ago was this?

Because I would say Kurt Russell has been beyond his physical prime about 45-50 years now.

[gymnastix]

@nealadams70 But, in his youth, Russell was, to paraphrase Jerry Stiller as "Arthur Spooner" (on the TV series "King Of Queens," in a quote about former New York Mayor John V. Lindsay), "very easy on the eye."

In fact, I can still picture Kurt as the jungle boy in that loincloth on an episode of "Gilligan's Island." He had the most beautiful eyes, and a great smile.

[gymnastix]

@nealadams70 I think it is almost a crime that physically beautiful people are subjected to the indignities of growing older, should be allowed to stay young & pretty forever, as a living, breathing work of art.

Of course, for those who are beautiful on the outside, but rotten and nasty people on the inside, who treat persons less good-looking than themselves horribly, some would call aging "justice."

[gymnastix]

@nealadams70 For the record, I was a younger boy when Kurt Russell was already a teen. But I had such a crush on him myself.

And I have heard he's a nice guy, not stuck up about his looks. Such persons are the truly beautiful--inside and out.

[imkluu]

This is far from golden throat terrible. It is actually pretty good.

[pictureisup1]

@musiclover77able Yes

[JubalCalif]

@musiclover77able

Sure is! He's not bad here...though I don't think he's any threat to Tommy Roe, who had the bigger hit with this song....though it does sound like Kurt's producer is using the same arrangement that Tommy did!

[definitedoll]

yes this album was out in 1970. i did not have it but i remember the advertising for it.

[Jerseysson27]

What?! OMG?! This is sooooo groovy!!

[thrawjive]

Snake Plissken would totally kick Kurt Russell's ass for this

[pictureisup1]

@thrawjive I know I heard you were DEAD

[Montanarus]

A good performance with a  taste of Tommy Roe, Andy Kim, The Archies...

[yogafan6500]

Yes folks!! Snake Plissken sings!

[irishladyforever]

ps...had the poster inside the album on my wall...kissed it every night!

[irishladyforever]

I STILL have this album....boy was I in love with Kurt Russell.....still am...LOL

[suekellybeck]

I had this album as a kid. I want to hear more songs from this album...I remember a song...Randy, Randy....I remember really loving it...want to hear it again, but how?

[Jaybird1103]

Kurt Russell does OK on this song, but I see and hear why the producers of the movie "Elvis" in which Kurt starred had Ronnie McDowell do the Elvis songs in which Kurt lip-synched.

[wookie72]

"Loved you in Now You See Him, Now You Don't."

[peeterpoon]

Sounds like a credible imitation of Tommy Roe.

[onepack]

all this kid did was kick elvis. Patrick Swayze wannabe

[therealmoerdock]

[MuscleMikal]

He does well on this-very commercial 60's sound.
