The best part was York imitating turkey calls, which prompted the German soldiers to peek out of their trenches, and which gave him a clean shot at them. Patton loved the fact that Americans knew how to improvise on the battlefield, something their adversaries never learned.
Doo-wop never really went away. This is from the Eighties.
Yes, and if you could chord a G, C, and D,
you could play half the songs on the playlist!
I remember that...but I shall have to see the movie again.
It has been a long time since i have seen it...over 20 years i think.
Fine performance by legendary character actor Walter Brennan as the preacher at the beginning.
The Italian kids from Belmont Avenue in the Bronx would stand on the street corners and practice their doo-wop vocal moves.
He was the real McCoy! :-)
Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...big plans for the weekend?
It was single digits this morning, but going back up for rain next week. I hate rain at this time of year.
Oh I love the classic Doo Wop! Always get your feet or heart going... or both!

If you check out the classic 1959 western “Rio Bravo,” there is a scene where Walter Brennan goes off script with a live weapon and badly rattles John Wayne. It looked so good that Howard Hawks, the director, kept it in the final cut.
It’s been busy, as I get ready for a rail conference in San Diego next week. Went out today for my 69th birthday to my favorite local sushi bar and splurged a bit.
Billy Joel’s “Innocent Man” disk was a good look at the past. When I first saw the “Uptown Girl” video, I was shocked. I never thought I would live long enough to see the music of the Four Seasons satirized.
Billy's 400 pound frame eventually did him in, but he had the fastest mouth in the business.
God Bless you good, Mac. *HUGS* Good night and rest well.
Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present.
Thank you for your service to our country.
I have never seen that one. Might be a nice DVD for a winter night.
These girls and their bass man came out of George "Shadow" Morton's shop in the Brill Building. It's from early 1964.
OR...turned into a Broadway Show that the original “Jersey Boys” could not have afforded to attend! :-)
