MUSIC LEGENDS FROM THE DETROIT AREA

DETROIT Featuring Mitch Ryder - Rock 'N Roll
by xyzmikey

Theodore Anthony “Ted” Nugent (born December 13, 1948) (aka “The Nuge”, “Motor City Madman”, and “Uncle Ted”) is a guitarist from Detroit, Michigan.

Grand Funk:
Grand Funk Railroad is an American rock band that was very popular throughout the 1970s. Formed in 1969 by Mark Farner (vocals, guitar), Don Brewer (drums) and Mel Schacher (bass).
Craig Frost (keyboards) was later recruited around 1972. Grand Funk Railroad has sold in excess of 25 million records to this date, 10 million of which were in 1970 alone. They were a top concert draw and often cited as “the loudest rock and roll band in the world.”

Early in their career they headlined a much hyped free concert in Hyde Park - whilst virtually unknown in the UK. They also opened for Led Zeppelin in Michigan, their home state.

Diana Ross

In 1970, Motown was experiencing sea changes. Diana Ross went solo while the Supremes went Top 10 without her. Jacksonmania was in full effect. Stevie Wonder began producing himself. Rare Earth had an unexpected hit and so did the Miracles, forcing Smokey Robinson to put on hold his departure from the group. Tammi Terrell died, finally succumbing to the effects of a brain tumor. Marvin Gaye was refusing to record or perform, but he produced another hit for the Originals. Los Angeles producer Frank Wilson had established himself in Detroit and set about creating a concept album for the Four Tops.

The essence of Laugh-In was shtick, a comic routine
or trademark repeated over and over until it was
closely associated with a performer. People love it,
come to expect it, and talk about it the next morning
after the show. All great comedians have at least one,
but what was remarkable about Laugh-In was that it
developed a whole repertore of sight gags and
catchphrases using little-known talent exclusively
(though some of them became quite famous later).
Among the favorites: Arte Johnson as the German Soldier,
peering out from behind a potted palm murmering,
"Verrry interesting!"; Ruth Buzzi as Gladys, the little
old lady with the hand bag, forever whacking the equally
decrepit Tyrone who snuggled up beside her on a park
bench; Lily Tomlin as the sarcastic, nasal telephone
operator named Ernestine; Gary Owens as the outrageously
overmodulated announcer, facing the microphone, hand
cupped over ear; Alan Sues as the grinning moron of a
sports announcer; Goldie Hawn, as the giggling dumb
blonde; Lily Tomlin as Edith Anne, a child philosopher
whose catchphrase was "and that's the truth," and so on.

My Three Sons

Created by Don Fedderson and Leave it to Beaver alumnus George Tibbles, My Three Sons was one of television's longest running and most influential domestic comedies. The program was conceived originally as a television vehicle for Fred MacMurray, (who owned 50% of the program), when Fedderson was approached by Chevrolet to develop a program that was "representative of America." During its twelve year run, the program averaged a respectable, but not spectacular 22.2 rating and a 35% share, and underwent enormous narrative and character changes. It is most significant for its development of a star-friendly shooting schedule and for its redefinition of the composition of the television family.

Adam 12

After seven hugely successful seasons, Adam-12 ended it's run as one of the best-loved police dramas on television. To mark the occasion, Marty Milner and Kent McCord took out a full page ad in the Hollywood Reporter to thank everyone they could think of.

Hawaii Five 0

Hawaii Five-O aired from September 1968 to April 1980, one of the longest continuous-running police series in U.S. television history. With few exceptions, it was filmed entirely on location in Hawaii. Its fans list the authenticity and beauty of the scenery as its number one draw; second come the actors and the characters they portrayed.

The Mod Squad consisted of three troubled kids who had dropped out of straight society and had had a run-in with the law. Pete had been kicked out by his wealthy Beverly Hills parents and stolen a car, Linc was raised in the Watts ghetto and was arrested in the Watts rioting; Julie was the daughter of a San Francisco prostitute who had run away from home and had been arrested in L.A. for vagrancy. All three were on probation when they were approached by Captain Adam Greer to form a special 'youth squad' to infiltrate the counter-culture and catch the adult crime-lords who preyed on the young kids, but never the kids themselves.

Robert Dupea has given up his promising career as a concert pianist and is now working in oil fields. He lives together with Rayette, who's a waitress in a diner. When Robert hears from his sister that his father isn't well, he drives up to Washington to see him, taking Rayette with him. There he gets confronted with his rich, cultured family that he had left behind. Written by Leon Wolters

Everyone wants to make an Oscar movie that speaks to its time. You could argue that "Milk," one of this year's best picture nominees, might fit that bill, coming on the heels of a controversial anti-gay marriage California proposition battle that was eerily similar to a proposition fight that represented the biggest political triumph of Harvey Milk's career back in the late 1970s. 2005's best picture winner "Crash" certainly felt like a thoughtful commentary on the culture of its time, as did "Traffic," one of 2000's best picture nominees. But no Oscar-nominated movie really hit the pop culture bullseye the way 1970's "Patton" did, a film that was the third-highest grossing movie of the year, winning seven Oscars, including best picture, best actor (George C. Scott) and best original screenplay, was shared by the young Francis Ford Coppola, a week after his 32nd birthday.
