The regular orchestra leader on TV's 1950 classic live show, Your Hit Parade, was one of the show's star's husband! Dorothy Collins was married to Raymond Scott, and appeared on Hit Parade every Saturday night with Gisele MacKenzie, Snooky Lanson, Russell Arms and Ray Charles (singers). Raymond is seen in an April 16, 1955 on camera performance with his quintette performing his composition Powerhouse. Not long after Hit Parade left the airwaves, Dorothy and Raymond were divorced amid rumors that Scott let his perfectionism get in the way of the marriage.

@JjinttaSet He's saying that it should be 'Quintet' in the same way that it's 'quartet' or 'quartette' depending on whether there are more men or women in it. Conjugation and whatnot.

@SumErgoMonstro I think it's just the way it's spelled, because it wouldn't make sense that there should be a small version if a regular sized version doesn't exist. No idea about the number thing though.

@unionofonion @unionofonion though gerbils is wrong saying that Rush's version is better because its not even the same song, you have to be completely out of your mind to say that they arn't incredible musicians. The musicianship in their songs is some of the highest around. I realise that Pearts lyrics can be be an aquired taste for some, but they do not even come close to sucking. By the way, Geddy Lee is the only one of Jewish descent, do some research before spouting your mouth.

I believe Pee wee's breakfast theme and the Simpsons theme (both by Danny Elfman) were based upon this tune. Anyway I love all three tunes!

How come there are six members in this "Quintette"? Is Scott not counting himself in that number? And why the feminine "-te" suffix? They all look like guys to me.
