Mine certainly were! Introduced me to Aretha, Elvis, The Supremes, Waylon and Willie and the boys, Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson, Roger Miller , '50 Musicals (That's trouble with a capital T and that rhymes with P and that stands for POOL!  ) . SO many great artists I can't remember them all.

Man, I had to do all this the hard way.

This helped, back in the day.

I like it better than his work with the Cardigans.

Wow, I didn't know he did stuff like this. All my memories of TJ are live performances on variety shows (usually viewed on a small GE b&w TV). I cdn't stand watching more than half of the MV, but the background video has a lot of clever visual puns in it. Intriguing that it's all set in imagery from fashion design--someone was thinking and having fun with it.

‘Crazy’ is a legendary song.  Did Patsy Sing it first ?

Willie Nelson wrote it, recorded a HORRIBLE version of it, but Patsy and the Jordanaires and her producer Owen Bradley made into something very great.

Or, so you haven't seen the other song I mentioned?  I can fix that.

Glen Campbell was great. Although very famous, still somehow underrated.

He was no Roy Clark tho....

 

Mom and dad didn't have any Roy Clark albums. We just saw him every week on Hee Haw!

I love that clip! I can't even remember their real names, look at Oscar and Felix watching Roy, just RAPT with the talent he had, he's just showing off! They're both truly out of character, two artists (actors) AMAZED at the talent Roy had.

Sorry for steering this thread into complete music hijack territory. But Chris is gone, and this is more fun, and don't hurt nothin'...
