Gus Gossert lives!!!!!!!

The curly haired kid in the forth row!

RIP Gus...........you will never be forgotton........and someday your killers will be be brought to justice.

You know what's bad about being 62? Well, it tells me that all I loved from my youth is no more......save for little snippets of yesterday via YouTube............our generation had it all love, tender sex, the best music .............now........youth is no more, love has past, music is garbage, ...

This is for you MoeMeister..................the Queen of Brooklyn Oldies!

@jollyroop How? If you have to ask such a question, then the answer is beyond the capability of your pea brain to understand!

Like most here, I was turned on to Gus by my older brother in 1970.......at the time Gus was on WCBS-FM before that station was 'officially' an 'oldies' station. Much mystery and intrigue surrounds Gus.......more than can be retold here....busted in NY for a drug possession, and later living in T...

OK it's 1970 the war in Vietnam continues to rage...........but down in Miami Florida the clubs are hot and the girls hotter..........one such hot female was Deborah Rosen, my girlfriend at the time....we were regulars at the Castaways Wreck Bar...........and as luck would have it caught Crabby t...

The late 60's into the early 70's were the seminal time in so many of our lives......this tune was played over and over again on AM and also on the first music tv show..."The Now Explosion"............WPIX-TV NYC summer of 1970; a summer of dance great times and deep love for a very beautiful you...

5110 Cleveland Street, DLR, green shag carpet, day glow wall paper, love and passion never ever to be repeated...........wonderful time(1970) the best era, the most beautiful love in the world,

1970 Miami Florida, Funky Broadway, slow dancing .......with the stunning 'White Owl"..this tune was making love set to music.

This group hits heights due to repeated play on the hit TV show "The Now Explosion" in 1970.......Robert V Whitney Productions. WPIX-TV NYC, NY.

Another great song featured on the ground breaking music video tv show "The Now Explosion".........proudly broadcast over WPIX-TV NYC, NY. 1970.

Robert V Whitney lives:-)

More music from "The Now Explosion" ..........that summer was all about you Deb.

Another great hit played on "The Now Explosion" 1970.

Robert Whitney.............so ahead of your time:-)

When this song hit a certain girl named Melanie Marcus had a very big crush on one Robert 'Bobby' Cooper........both living in Green Acres (Valley Stream) NY and attending Forest Road School........later South High School............Ahh the memories:-)

The Black Cat is a masterpiece of Art Deco set decoration. Full credit for the sets goes to Charles D. Hall. King the 'B's' Edgar Ulmer did yeoman work here.............but he was no saint. Lucile Lund who plays Karloff's wife is actually the daughter of Lugosi, Ulmer was not subtle in his att...

This song more than any other released in the late 60's early 70's will forever evoke strong emotions both good and sullen.

That girl I mentioned in my comments concerning Harlem Nocturne by The Viscounts, is the subject matter here. Becoming lovers within months of dating, our relationship cont...

Get that boy a professional 'kit' already!

Wurlitzer?............nah, more like a B3.......at any rate no matter the brand, young Jaidev is clearly on his way to making folks sit up and notice.

Maybe we are witnessing the early stages of Jimmy Smith, or Shirley Scott?????

Who cares what the religion is............Herman Cain should have been the first man of color in the White House.........wake up, and stop chug-gin the Cool Aid......

I still can not watch this film at night!

The music makes my skin crawl.

The sheer genius of Carl Laemmle, founder of Universal should be required reading for all those interested not only in Motion Pictures, but in American Corporation building. From nothing he rose to power, taking on Edison, Kodak, and others attempting to force him out of business. The history of...

Can you imagine Charlie Parker blowing this on his alto?

The mind goes into overload!

The Chipper assistant was played by Bramwell Fletcher.

Although Carl Laemmle, Jr. is credited as the producer, in reality The Mummy was produced by Mark Stanley Bergerman, the Son In Law of Universal founder and prexy Carl Laemmle, Sr.

I wonder if jazz pedagogue Phil Schap has ever devoted any of his radio shows (lessons really.........a master of his craft of jazz knowledge) to Sam Taylor?

The first time I heard Harlem Nocturne I was viscerally moved.......much like the first time I heard George Gershwin play Rhapsody In Blue...

If you love this film (and who could not) I suggest you seek at a book by Greg Mank entitled Boris & Bela A grand Haunting.........I may have the title slightly off but what a book........you will not put it down trust me..........better than a roll in the hay with Carmen Electra............:-)

Ok I love this film,,,,,,,,,,I even love the car.........and I am a sick Studebaker lover!

Long live the 50's the cars the 'broads' the never achieved back seat sex........well almost never:-)...........today.......what a load of sheet:-(

When this song hit I was totally crazy about a girl named Irene Eckstein from Forest Hills NY.....she lived on Yellowstone Blvd and was fast friends with another together chick named Suzanne Faye.......anyway one summer she was staying out in Long Beach LI and as I did not have a car........I act...

If you never read another book you must read the great greg monk book......Lugosi & Karloff..........a haunting collaboration.......

Indeed it does because it is! As a homage to the Universal of the Laemmles this opening from a Universal film in the digital era attempts to capture the original flavor of the original via optics and sound..........yes it is super clear........but in the same way i prefer the Lp to the cd I giv...

Indeed, this great mono-plane engine buzz is fantastic........the later glass ball never really had the visceral impact that i felt via the plane.

Carl Laemmle Junior was truly thinking outside the box when he suggested this opening for his fathers photo plays to follow.
