Elvis, Scotty, and Bill: Together Again

Guitarist Scotty Moore, the last surviving member of the 1950s rockabilly trio which included bassist Bill Black and singer-guitarist Elvis Presley, passed away on Tuesday at Nashville at age 84.

Mr. Moore and Mr. Black backed up Mr. Presley on Elvis' Sun Records recordings in Memphis including "That's All Right," "Blue Moon of Kentucky."

The records were produced by Sun Records founder Sam Phillips.

While Elvis would go on to become the undisputed king of Rock 'n' Roll, Mr. Black would go on to lead a successful combo which recorded a number of early-1960s hits (such as "Smokie, Part II) before Bill himself passed away in 1965.

Elvis, of course, passed away in 1977.

Bill, Scotty, and drummer DJ Fontana, who joined the combo in 1955 (and is now the only surviving member of the quartet), worked on Elvis' TV appearances and early movies.

Scotty was inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in 2000.

Janet Waldo, Voice Of Judy Jetson, R.I.P.

Janet Waldo, the veteran cartoon voice actress who provided the voice of Judy Jetson in both television versions of The Jetsons, passed away on Sunday at age 96.

Miss Waldo actually had her first major role of any real notice in the title role of a CBS radio network series entitled Meet Corliss Archer which was a series which ran from 1943 to 1956 about a teenager.

But it is in animation that Janet became best known.  She played Judy Jetson, George and Jane's teenaged daughter on a Hanna-Barbera-produced cartoon show that had two runs on ABC (1962-63), then syndication (1985-87).

Janet also played Judy in the featured-lenghth movie Jetsons:The Movie which was released in 1990.  However, she was abruptly replaced by fading pop star Tiffany.

Janet, who did numerous voice jobs in TV and theatrical cartoons, was the original series' last surviving cast member.

Gordie Howe, The Legendary "Mr. Hockey," R.I.P.

Gordie Howe, the long-time NHL legend who became known as "Mr. Hockey," passed away on Friday at age 88.

Mr. Howe, one of the greatest players to ever lace on a pair of skates, played in the Nationa Hockey League for 25 years (1946-71), all with the Detroit Red Wings (with whom he won four Stanley Cups) before retiring in 1971.  He was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1972.

However, Gordie came out of retirement to play for the Houston Aeros of the World Hockey Association in 1973 alongside his sons Mark and Marty (the Aeros won back-to-back Avco World Trophy titles in 1974 and 1975).  The Howes moved on to the WHA's New England Whalers in 1977.

When the NHL and WHA merged in 1979, Gordie played one more season (1979-80) with the re-named Hartford Whalers before retiring for good at age 52.

He scored 801 goals and racked up 1,850 points in the NHL with the Red Wings and Whalers.

Farewell To The Greatest

Having been one of the most iconic figures in the history of American sports and having one of the most recognizable faces on the planet during the past century, former three-time World Heavyweight Champion Muhammad Ali, known to one and all as "The Greatest" passed away on Friday at age 74.


Mr. Ali, who had been suffering from Parkinson's for decades, was admitted to a local Phoenix, Arizona hospital earlier in the week due to respiratory problems that were connected to his battle with Parkinson's.


Born Cassius Marcellus Clay in Louisville, Kentucky, Mr. Ali won the Gold Medal at the 1960 Rome Summer Olympics.

In 1964, still as Cassius Clay, he defeated Sonny Liston to become the world heavyweight boxing champion.  He repeated the feat some fifteen months later, after converting to Islam and changing his name.


Citing religious beliefs, after being reclassified as draft-eligible, Muhammad refused induction into the US Army in 1967.

He was stripped of his title and his boxing license, and having remained inactive for four years, he successfully appealed his felony conviction, which was unanimously overturned 8-0 by the US Supreme Court.


Upon his return, he scored two tuneup victories, leading up to his 1971 fight against then-heavyweight champ Joe Frazier in a battle of unbeatens, billed as "The Fight of the Century."  Mr. Frazier recorded a unanimous 15-round victory, and Mr. Ali suffered his first defeat.


It was the first of three bouts between The Greatest and Smokin' Joe.

In 1973, he suffered a broken jaw in a loss to Ken Norton.

In 1974, Muhammad returned to the top of the heap by defeating George Foreman in Kinshasa, Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) to reclaimed the world heavyweight title.

He evened the score with Mr. Frazier as he registered a scorecard victory in the second match, then took the series finale at Manila in 1975.

In 1978, he was upset by the upstart Leon Spinks, but then reclaimed the crown a few months later in a rematch at New Orleans.  It was Muhammad's final victory.

A couple of ill-fated comeback attempts followed (Larry Holmes in 1980, Trevor Berbick 1n 1981).  Some say the defeat at Mr. Holmes' hands, in which the ex-champ was pummeled for ten rounds before the fight was stopped has widely been seen as the catalyst for the condition that would progressively rob him of the ability to speak and move effectively.  This would lead to declining appearances in the spotlight that he always commanded and deserved.

As mentioned earlier, Mr. Ali

One Of Ford's Best Cars Ever

Here's a magazine ad for the 1956 Continental Mark II, one of the greatest cars ever put out by the Ford Motor Company.

That was when Ford set up Continental as a separate make, with this car set to be priced at the truly upper-level of the automotive market, beyond Cadillac, Lincoln, Imperial, and even Packard.

By 1960, the Continental Division was dissolved and the cars were folded into Lincoln.

Willys, and sister make Kaiser, were by that time the only two American makes that did not offer an overhead valve V-8 engine.
