So sad to lose the singers we love. Thank goodness we can still hear the songs through recording. RIP Keely, you will always be remembered by your fans.

Slip back the lid, scoop everything in sight
Make it a rainbow of red, brown and white
Chocolate chip and everything that’s nice
Tutti-frutti once and spumoni twice

Banana split for my baby
And a glass of plain water for me

(This is ONE song we got to see Keely smile)

Mitchum’s son played the role of his brother in Thunder Road.
One of the oddities about that movie was the sound of a car driving off. They never shifted gears. It was like they were turbine or Wanker or something. LOL

Mitchum was the best Philip Marlowe hands down, for my money.

He was great with Jane Greer and a young Kirk Douglas in “Out of the Past”.

Jane Greer was absolutely gorgeous and their chemistry together rivaled Bogey and Bacall.

I never knew she was part Cherokee. Loved her voice. May she rest in peace...
