The Flick Coffeehouse

Homage to The Flick Coffeehouse that opened in *1963 and closed ten years later. The Flick was located near the University of Miami between Coral Gables and Coconut Grove.
*According to new information, The Flick may have opened later-winter of 1964. Also, since there wasn't any concrete evidence that he performed there, Fred Neil, the great unheralded Miami singer/songwriter, was not included.* Visit the web site below which has a forum dedicated to The Flick Coffeehouse.

*After a few years, music from Vince Martin & Fred Neil performing at the Flick has surfaced thanks to Lenny Michaelson and Michael Merrill. I will present a portion of this performance in a future 'Tales from the Flick' video.

I often remember, often think of The Flick, thanks so much for the wonders this brought back to me.

@ellienc

You're very welcome.

who sings blackbird on here?

[calico1947]

The singer was Elizabeth Corrigan (Seneff). Sadly she passed away from cancer. In the 60s, Liz replaced Judy Henske in the Whiskeyhill Singers. That group broke up and she toured as a solo act from then on. She also sang the theme for "Candid Camera." Later, she moved to New York where became quite popular as a cabaret act. Liz had few rivals as far as technique and voice quality. She was singular talent and she is well remembered by those who were fortunate to see her at The Flick.

No. It is a private recording.

[calico1947]

You can find the answer to that question in the final credits of the video...the engineer and recorder of the live music was David Cohen.

@Zuluman48 I was sorry to see you break up, but I don't know which half is which. The clear tenor voice, the baritone who was a guitar wizard, and the little brother of one of you. I was reminded of the wit who wrote of Simon and Garfunkel, "The pretty one wanted to be clever, and the clever one wanted to be pretty." You were definitely more than the sum of your parts.

@SSchus87 It's the back cover of their LP recording entitled Juarez.  Capitol Records.

I worked at The Flick while going to college at the UofM. It was a wonderous time and shaped my life in many ways. I thank Max and Annie Launer for the opportunity and all the talented folks for their friendship and memories. It was a miraculous moment in time that will never be again........

A formative time and place, I played there on open mic nights when I was a kid. I remember Vince Martin and Fred Neil and Tom Rush. Thanks for posting this treasure. It felt like Home.

Brings back the memories -:))

my Dad took me there in 65 or so I was 6 or 7 will never forget it

I played the flick many times in the early 70's mostly opening for Dion, I was acutally hit by an 18 wheel truck while sitting out front in my Mom's new Karmen Ghia.Thank God we were not hurt, the car was totaled it was Christmas eve. I went by the name Valentine my real name is Frank Stallone. And it was an awesome time that I would never trade.

Spent many a night at the Flick in the mid-late 60's...GREAT date place. Happened to be visiting Miami about 6-7 years ago, stopped into the Titanic to see the old Flick space, and surprise!.......Vince Martin was a guest performer that night! What a thrill...sure brought back memories of seeing him and Ron Kickasola in the 60's....where did the time go?.........Wish I could find a recording of Vince's "If the jasmine don't get you, you know the bay breeze will"........
