In the study tonight with a deep cut. From RCA Records in 1975, it’s Jack Jones with “What I Did For Love”. By ‘75, Jack had let his hair grow and began recording in a MOR style. Records like this fascinate me. Who was the intended audience for a record like this? Jack took control of this one, co-writing, arranging and producing. The LP starts off with “After the Lovin’”; a full two years before it was a hit for @thisisengelberthumperdinck Notable performers here include Mike Melvoin, Don Randi, Max Bennett, Al Casey and Jackie Ward. Recorded in Hollywood. #inthestudy #jackjones #70s #70smusic #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylcommunity #vinylcollector #vinylrecords #vinyladdict #vinyligclub #singer #vocalist

I debuted a new pair of @perryellis pants today. They look a little spring/summery but you could also say they look like the ice we’re dealing with here. Pants $11 @winners Tie by Arrow via @hudsonsbay Magnetic tie clip by @tiemags Jacket by thrift store. 😉 #lifereadysince1976 #winnersfabfinds #hbstyle #fashion #clothes #clothing #mensfashion #menstyle #suit #thrift #thrifting #thriftstorefinds #www2c #homemadestyle #beyourself

Many have claimed to have been Elvis Presley's "friend" including Tom Jones. The Memphis Mafia have scoffed at Tom's claim but many different pictures of EP and TJ together in various locations makes me think they were indeed buds. Once when Tom was performing in Las Vegas, King strolled out on stage to demonstrate some karate. Another time also in the desert EP entered Tom's hotel suite while Tom was in the bathroom. Growing impatient, King eventually just walked in and rousted Tom out of the shower. "Time to roll, TJ!" These pics show TJ visiting King at his homes at Graceland and in Los Angeles - where they jammed together. Can you imagine? They would have kicked me out because I would've been weeping. They also spent time together while vacationing in Hawaii. Coupla blue-eyed soul brothers from different mothers. @realsirtomjones #lasvegas #graceland #elvispresley #tomjones #elvis #elvispresleyfans

Elvis Presley in “King Creole” (1958). His finest film was based on a novel by Harold Robbins called “A Stone for Danny Fisher” which was adapted for the screen by Michael V. Gazzo, who later portrayed Frankie Five-Angels in “The Godfather Part II”. In the novel, Danny is a boxer. “King Creole” also featured - by some margin - the finest cast ever assembled for a King Movie. Michael Curtiz (“Casablanca”) directed this movie that’s set and was filmed in New Orleans. #elvispresley #elvis #neworleans #50s #movies #thegodfather

The contradictions of King Movies are well represented by "Easy Come, Easy Go". Released at a nadir of Elvis Presley's career and personal life, a ridiculous film that EP phones in still has that intangible goofy charm we love so much. Producer Hal Wallis could be considered the man who robbed Presley of the chance to have a satisfying film career. By 1967, Wallis was fed up with the "sure thing" of Presley pictures.
