18.01.2022 NANCY SINATRA - BANG BANG I've upscaled and colourised this live appearance of Nancy Sinatra performing the classic BANG BANG on French TV in 1966. It features ...Nancy's publishing partner, arranger and friend BILLY STRANGE accompanying her on guitar. Written by Sonny Bono originally for Cher, BANG BANG (MY BABY SHOT ME DOWN) was the second single from Cher's second album, 'The Sonny Side of Chér' released in 1966. In this song, Cher recalls playing childhood games with a boy when he would shoot her with his toy gun. They grow up together and get married but then he leaves her. She has again been shot down, but this time it's for real and she is devastated. The same year, Nancy Sinatra recorded one of the best-known covers of the song, for her album 'How Does That Grab You?' Her version features tremolo guitar, played by her arranger, Billy Strange, and had a resurgence in popularity when it was used in the opening credits of the 2003 Quentin Tarantino film Kill Bill Volume 1. ------------------------------------------------ Hello, and a warm welcome to everyone who has joined COLOURING THE PAST.

16.01.2022 "I turn crisp packets into blankets for the homeless"

15.01.2022 JOI LANSING - WEB OF LOVE (1966) Remembering JOI LANSING [April 6th 1929 AUGUST 7th 1972] The video here is a wonderful colour SCOPITONE video of Joi performi...ng the campy classic WEB OF LOVE. I've upscaled the clip and improved the colour saturation. "Joi began singing in nightclubs in the early 1960s, and eventually cut a few 45s, most of which were never released," wrote the Reprobate Press. "But around the same time, she recorded a couple of numbers for the Scopitones movie jukebox system, where 16mm film reels of lip-synced songs could be played in bars and clubs for paying customers." "Scopitones clips are, in general, extraordinary slices of camp nostalgia. But The Web of Love might well be the greatest ‘music video’ of all time." "Here, a sultry Lansing sings a superb song of sexual obsession, while the anonymous director does a fine job of literal visual interpretation of every single lyric. The result is magnificent." American model, film and television actress, and nightclub singer, Joi (born Joyce Renee Brown) was noted for her pin-up photos and roles in B-movies, as well as a prominent role in the famous opening "tracking shot" in Orson Welles' 1958 crime drama Touch of Evil. Because of her striking good looks, she began modeling and was extremely successful throughout the 1940s. Her first go at films occurred in 1948 with roles as a model in The Counterfeiters (1948), Julia Misbehaves (1948) and Easter Parade (1948). She was 20 years old. Her acting wasn't exactly polished in the beginning, but producers did not care - she was hired because of her looks and her body. The following year brought more of the same, getting parts (mostly uncredited) in films as nothing more than a showpiece. Joi took a hiatus from films in 1950 while she concentrated on her modeling career. She returned to the big screen in 1951 to play minor roles, though this time it was a little better. She played Susan Matthews in F.B.I. Girl (1951) and Marilyn Turner in On the Riviera (1951) - at least she had names to go along with her characters. Then it was back to being a showpiece. In 1952, she had an uncredited role in one of the most popular movies of all time, Singin' in the Rain (1952). Another minor role as the Maxim Girl in The Merry Widow (1952) followed. She began appearing on television in 1955 when she played in an episode of Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok (1951) and one of I Love Lucy (1951) the following year. In 1955, Joi landed a recurring role as Shirley Swanson in the television series The Bob Cummings Show (1955). It was this series which proved to all Joi could, indeed, act and act well. Because of this series, she began to get a few more substantial parts in films such as The Brave One (1956), Hot Cars (1956) and So You Think the Grass Is Greener (1956), all in 1956. Then it was back to bit roles. For the balance of the 1950s, she continued to appear in B movies with less than quality roles. After appearing in the comedy film Who Was That Lady? (1960), Joi landed the role of Goldie in the television series Klondike (1960). During the 1960s, she starred in short musical films for the Scopitone video-jukebox system. Her songs included "The Web of Love" and "The Silencer". However, most viewers remember her as the wife of Lester Flatt on the situation comedy The Beverly Hillbillies (1962), which she appeared on and off from 1965-1968. As Gladys Flatt, her beauty even surpassed that of Elly May Clampett, played by Donna Douglas. Her film career was now winding down and she appeared as Boots Malone in the B movie Hillbillys in a Haunted House (1967), which went nowhere. Joi Lansing was diagnosed with breast cancer, and died at age 43 on August 7, 1972 in Santa Monica, California. ----------------------------------------- Hello, and a warm welcome to everyone who has joined COLOURING THE PAST.

13.01.2022 SAM THE SHAM & THE PHARAOHS WOOLY BULLY (in colour) I’ve upscaled and colourised the original black & white film of the band performing the song on U.S. TV in... 1965. Recorded by American garage rock and rhythm & blues group SAM THE SHAM & THE PHARAOHS from Dallas, Texas in 1965, WOOLY BULLY was written by the band's frontman, Domingo "Sam" Samudio. The song was the band's first and biggest hit and was a reworking of the 1962 tune "Hully Gully Now" by Big Bo & The Arrows which was based on Junior Parker's "Feelin' Good". The song was given the green light after Sam rewrote the lyrics famously replacing "Hully Gully" with "Wooly Bully" and few additional lyrical changes. Sam retained the 'watch it, watch it now" refrain from the original version. The single became a worldwide success, selling three million copies and reaching No. 2 on the American Hot 100 chart on June 512, 1965, kept off the top by The Beach Boys' "Help Me, Rhonda" and The Supremes' "Back in My Arms Again". It was the first American record to sell a million copies during the British Invasion and was influenced by the British rock sound which was mixed with traditional Mexican-American conjunto rhythms. According to Sam: "The name of my cat was 'Wooly Bully', so I started from there. The count down part of the song was also not planned. I was just goofing around and counted off in Tex-Mex. It just blew everybody away, and actually, I wanted it taken off the record. We did three takes, all of them different, and they took the first take and released it." There aren't many lyrics in this song that don't contain the words "Wooly" or "Bully," but one line managed to capture a fleeting piece of '60s slang: In the line, "Let's not be L-7, come and learn to dance," "L-7" was an unhip person - someone just not with it. More literally, it means let's not be squares. If you put an L and a 7 together you get, more or less, a square. Hello, and a warm welcome to everyone who has joined COLOURING THE PAST.

10.01.2022 THE BEATLES - HELP (in colour!) I've had multiple requests to colourise this iconic promo video - one which I've saved for today: The 55th anniversary of the re...lease of the single HELP! (U.S. release 19th July 1965) Note: The filter over the video means you can watch it on Facebook (I'd have loved to have done without it!) Serving as the title song for the 1965 film and its soundtrack album, HELP! was released as a single in July 1965, and was number one for three weeks in Britain and the States. Ranked at #29 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, the song was written by John Lennon with help from Paul McCartney. "The whole Beatles thing was just beyond comprehension. I was subconsciously crying out for help," said Jonn in 1980. ----------------------------------------- Hello, and a warm welcome to everyone who has joined COLOURING THE PAST.

09.01.2022 Remembering BIG MAMA THORNTON [December 11, 1926 July 25, 1984] The video here is BIG MAMA THORNTON belting out HOUND DOG live on TV in 1965. I've colourised ...and upscaled the clip. Appearing alongside her on the German television show 'Jazz Heard and Seen' were four legendary musicians: Buddy Guy, Fred Below, Jimmy Lee Robinson and Eddie Boyd. In 1952, while working with Peacock artist Johnny Otis, she recorded "Hound Dog", the first record produced by its writers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. "We wanted her to growl it," Stoller said, which she did. Otis played drums, after the original drummer was unable to play an adequate part. The record sold more than half a million copies, and went to number one on the R&B chart, helping to bring in the dawn of rock 'n' roll. Although the record made Thornton a star, she saw little of the profits. Thornton's success with "Hound Dog" was followed three years later by Elvis Presley recording his hit version of the song. His recording at first annoyed Leiber who wrote, "I have no idea what that rabbit business is all about. The song is not about a dog, it's about a man, a freeloading gigolo." But Elvis' version sold ten million copies, so today few fans know that "Hound Dog" began as "an anthem of black female power." ----------------------------------------- Hello, and a warm welcome to everyone who has joined COLOURING THE PAST.

08.01.2022 ROD STEWART & THE FACES - YOU WEAR IT WELL (enhanced colour version) This week in 1972, ROD STEWART released the "blue-eyed soul" single YOU WEAR IT WELL, (Augu...st 1972). Written by Rod Stewart and Steamhammer's Martin Quittenton, YOU WEAR IT WELL uses an arrangement markedly similar to that of "Maggie May" - another Martin Quittenton collaboration! Stewart recorded "You Wear It Well" for the 1972 album Never a Dull Moment, and released it as a single in August 1972. The song became an international hit, reaching number one on the UK Singles Chart. In the US, "You Wear It Well" peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Stewart performed the song live on BBC's Top of the Pops with the full lineup of Faces, along with Quittenton on classical guitar and Dick "Tricky Dicky" Powell on fiddle joining them. The line "Madame Onassis got nothing on you" is a reference to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis - former First Lady to and widow of President John F. Kennedy. At the time of this song, Jacqueline - often referred to as "Jackie O" - was the spouse of Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis until his death in 1975, widowing her again. Jackie O made quite a reputation for herself as a woman of grace, charm, and style, prompting the London Evening Standard to comment, "Jacqueline Kennedy has given the American people one thing they have always lacked: Majesty." ----------------------------------------- Hello, and a warm welcome to everyone who has joined COLOURING THE PAST.
