Stars Eddie Fisher and Tony Ccurtis Pass Same Week
Two of the biggest Hollywood stars passed within a week of each other, first Eddie Fisher at 82 and then Tony Curtis (aka Bernie Schwartz) at 85. Though Fisher was known more for his singer and Curtis for his acting, they probably became better known in later years for their off screen exploits - following similar life paths winding their ways through ' booze and broads.'
They were both sons of Jewish immigrants and had to overcome the challenges of anti-semitism and poverty, no easy feat for sons of immigrants. As similar

GENE PITNEY - EVERY LITTLE BREATH I TAKE click here TINA TURNER - River Deep Mountain High
NEW FILM DOMUMENTARY: The Agony and Ecstacy of Phil Spector
Phil Spector is a pioneer of American music, a legendary producer to John Lennon and Tina Turner, and, as of April 13th 2009, a convicted murderer. Yet the Spector who appears in Vikram Jayanti's documentary is not the severe, outlandishly coiffed defendant seen in sensationalistic accounts of his trial, but a charming, savvy music executive with a generous, but arguably accurate, estimation of his place in the history of popular music.

REBIRTH, RESHAPING OF ICONIC DRIVEIN
Floyd Cramer - Boogie Woogie
