Smooth Sailing: Seventies Autumn Breeze
We’ve said goodbye to the summer in a seventies style last week, so let’s welcome the autumn in the same way on this exclusive Mixcloud Select Smooth Sailing trip! 😊
Born in California on 22 September 1944 and the daughter of actor Johnny Green, Kathe Jennifer Green appeared in a number of television series at the start of the 1960s. She made her first serious involvement in show business in 1968 when she dubbed the singing voice of Mark Lester in the film Oliver!, for which her father was musical director. The same year Kathe appeared in the Peter Sellers film The Party. She recorded her debut LP the following year, Run The Length Of Your Wildness, for which she wrote ten of the album's thirteen tracks. In 1975 Kathe Green signed with Motown, with producer Frank Wilson assembling a stellar cast of session players (James Jamerson, Jeff Porcaro and Ray Parker Jr.). However, the record company lost interest along the way and the album was banished to the Prodigal label. Afterwards she stepped away from the music business.
"An artist who was always looking to stretch his creativity and to find new sounds to keep him in the charts long after many of his peers had waved goodbye to the Hot 100."(Ace Records) Del Shannon tragically took his own life on February 8, 1990 at his home in Santa Clarita, California, after years of suffering from depression. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999. Next up is a new part of Eddy's 80s Grooves.
