Chexy’s Saturday Matinee

by Chexy on January 30, 2010


Orville Wright died on this day in 1948. Here’s a great piece about the Wright Brothers and their flying machine.

Karen Carpenter died at 32 on Feb. 4th 1983. Here she is from 1971 with “Close to You.”

Gene Hackman is 80 today. Here he is with Peter Boyle in the classic “Blind Man” scene from “Young Frankenstein.”

Now let’s kick it out with Frank Sinatra live at Madison Square Garden on his 1974 concert tour, with Cole Porter’s “I’ve Got You Under My Skin.” Crank it!

It’s been reported that jazz and blues great Etta James, 72, is quite ill and hospitalized in Riverside, Calif. with an infection, and if you’ve never been to Riverside, it’s enough to make anyone quite ill.

Send your good vibes to Miss Etta.
