Vicki Sue Robinson is one of many of whose birthday we can celebrate today; she might be a bit less known than the others. This was a big hit.  I had previously not known who sang this.

Looks like we have another birthday boy on May 31:

Quite an eventful day as well. 12 appearances on Ed Sullivan is something.

Not a fan of the music, but the video is pretty interesting...

My 'Viking Hunter' High Adventure Alternate History Series is FREE, ALL 3 volumes, at most ebook retailers including Ibooks, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more.

In Vol 2 the weapons come out in a winner take all war on two fronts.

Vol 3 opens with the rigged murder trial of the villain in a Viking Court under Viking law to set the stage for the hero's own murder trial.

Olivia Newton-John Reveals Her Breast Cancer Has Returned, Cancels Tour

For the Grease generation, Olivia Newton-John's illness is hard to accept

The news that the Grease star's cancer has returned grips women of a certain age who grew up looking to her as something of a lodestar of our own happiness

I know it so well. Every frame of it. Even now, if I chance upon a screening of it on TV, or call up key moments on YouTube, the magic still remains.

A film critic once called Grease “an ode to young love that never gets old,” which is a pretty fair description. There is Olivia Newton-John playing a teenager (she was actually 29 at the time of filming) skipping across the school yard in that yellow cardigan, her knowing refrain (“He showed off, splashing around”) a hilarious counterpart to John Travolta’s braggadocio (“I saved her life, she nearly drowned”).

So, let's hope for her recovery, I've seen these kinds of relapses before.

A bit of a children's song to me, because we all learned this, a bit of their signature song as well, I thought.

Just a great song written by Gordon Lightfoot:

Birthday related and honorable mention to the Style Council which was the post-Jam band, Style Council grew out of the Jam... not sure of the details.

The Jam do a good version of David Watts (Kinks), the Jam would probably fit into being called New Wave, I have friends who are really big fans of theirs'
