Big dilemma here this week.....
is it Phillip or Philip?
We even asked a frazzled Alex Trebek....
and his judges could not come up with a solution.....
Sooooooooo for the first time in Tuesday Trivia history....
we have TWO GRAND PRIZE winners this week!!
Tim McNally and the team of Joe/Nancy will each take home the prize(s) this week.
This was an unprecedented week considering I had more correct answers than ever....unfortunately the first in wins. Although it had nothing to do with Apple Computers.....it had EVERYTHING to do with Apple Records of which George was a founder and Phil was the A/R director.
Obviously no one was fooled by a long-haired (digitally flipped) George Harrison and Phil Spector.
I will tune up my game next week and will prevail over you all!!
Phil Spector....
the man behind the Wall of Sound (and under the wigs!)
- You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling (holds record for most US airplays)
- (and) Then He Kissed Me
- Baby I Love You
- Be My Baby
- Chapel of Love
- Da Doo Run Run
- Spanish Harlem
- River Deep, Mountain High - Ike & Tina
- (GREAT song...not so great dancing)
- You Can Get Him, Frankenstein
(OK.....forget that last one...but not bad....it's on You Tube)
But his first # 1 hit in 1958 was for his teen group called the "Teddy Bears"....named after the Elvis song.....with Phil on guitar (minus wig)...and his fellow classmates at the time, singing.
To Know Him....Is To Love Him.
- The title comes from his Dad's gravestone inscription...
the same Dad who shot himself when Phil was 9 years old......
HELLO.....RED FLAG.......
Warning Will Robinson!!! - The female singer, Carol Connors, went on to co-write "Hey Little Cobra" for the Ripchords and "Gonna Fly Now" which you may know as the Rocky Movie Theme song...also dated Elvis......and was all over Court TV during Phil's trial.......I think he shot the wrong chick.
- Phil went to make a name for himself in producing records and worked with everyone from the Ronnettes to the Beatles to the Ramones.
- Big wig-wearer to help cover all of his scars from an almost deadly car crash in the 70's.
- I just purchased a bio about him off of Ebay...pretty wacky individual.
"Tearing Down the Wall of Sound" written by a guy who interviewed Spector a few weeks before he shot and killed his last date. - Currently serving 20 to life in a California State Penitentiary.
- Liked his guns.
George Harrison......
(with sister Louise)
- George was technically the first Beatle to visit the U.S.....his sister Louise is from downstate Benton, IL and welcomed George here on a visit in September 1963.
- You too can stay at Louise's house the next time you are in Benton....click below. http://www.harddaysnitebnb.com/index.htm
- Owned HandMade Films which produced several Monty Python movies.
- Proud Gardener who took an old mansion and turned Friar Park into a thing of beauty.
- Employed a staff of 10 and his two older brothers to keep up the 30+ acre garden.
- His first wife Patty Boyd....went on to marry his best friend Eric Clapton
- Second wife Olivia....tough Mexican who kept an knife-wielding assailant at bay during a 1999 attack at their home by smacking him repeatedly with a fire-poker!
