Yes that is Tanya Tucker. She also is posted with my user name. Along with the Tokens, Eric Burdon, Robbie Krieger, Strawberry Alarm Clock, and Quicksilver Messenger Services' Gary Duncan, Oak Ridge Boy's William Lee Golden and separately Glen Campbell. The press conference was for R &R's Main Event which was to be held @ Glen Helen Park in San Bernardino, CA 1989. Unfortunately, due to low turn out the debacle ran one day rather than the scheduled 3.

It's kind of funny . . . I once was a truck driver, and the things you would hear over the CB radio usually came from the most pitiful wretches you could imagine. I get the impression the same would be true for victordls and duncanstpt2. My sincerest desire is that Elaine at least laughs all the way to the bank. She was friendly and unaffected. More character than either of the above two morons undoubtedly have!

[kenwah52]

Yeah. Amazing isn't it? We get old. I don't like to censor my comments put on my videos, but that is not cool. That's my opinion.

Thanks for your post. The comments, besides being rude, reek of the sanctimoniousness typical of many health nuts. Don't get me wrong. It's good to control one's weight. But as you said, let's first honor this woman who, as you say, has one of the most beautiful voices in the popular music of past few decades. I just viewed a performance of I'd Like to Get to Know You.

There's a dreamy quality to her voice that always got to me- along with those great melodies and arrangements.

Thank you for posting this! I really loved her humour! Such a beautiful person, inside and out! I look forward to hearing more of Spanky's music !

Elaine "Spanky" always had so so much class... and a great sense of humor. Is there any way we can see the rest of this video ?? I was kinda left hanging here. I'd like to see more.

love her lots - but she needs to be 86'd from Domino's Pizza for about 6 months

I know this is a dated video but it's so nice to see Elaine. The amazing thing about this group is that they were soooo great for such a short span of time. I loved everything they did. In a way, they remind me of coming of age in the late 60s. Such a wonderful time in our lives for those who shared that time period! :D

One of the best ever female pop vocalists. Incredible power and range; an enduring legacy of material. Thanks Spanky!
