by the Dutch band Sandy Coast

Quite tame in comparison to Jimmy Winston & His Reflections

Jimmy Winston

Here are Sonny & Cher performing their greatest hit
"I Got You Babe" followed by a rendition of "It's Gonna Rain"

The performance is quite unusual, I mean their gestures,
their moves, definitely not common during the 60's

He is undoubtlessly a great artist, but the face of Sonny Bono

always seemed strange to me and look at the pants of Cher!

Where did she get those?!

By the way, that's a nice hat...

 Well, the caption says it all : three great men with Elvis!

Too Many People - The Leaves

Great to see them "live"

The Tams performing "Hey Girl, Don't Bother Me" on

The Beatles Cartoon TV Series Episode 5

Movie Of The Week

/

Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls (1970)

Well, I didn't find the theatrical trailer, but what I found

is a lot better : the party scene featuring

The Strawberry Alarm Clock

"This is my party, and it freaks me out !"

That is a cast of girls !

Apparently, Russ Meyer, the director of this film, is specialised

in weird movies with beautiful girls with or without bikinis!

(Common Law Cabin, anyone?)

Note that I didn't know anything about this movie apart from

the fact that The Strawberry Alarm Clock play in before I decided

to feature as the movie of the week

but now I'm definitely considering watching it

The Carrie Nations performing "Sweet Talkin' Candyman" at the party

"I'd would like to strap you on some time"

Here's a last one by The Carrie Nations

"Find It"

I can tell you that this film looks pretty psychedelic since I saw both

King Arthur and Nazis in excerpts of it...
