In my monthly look at the oldies, the Drifters are featured. This sometimes overlooked group scored many hits despite an ever-changing line-up. Take a look at their iconic sides and lesser-known beauties.

Harry Belafonte turns 94 today. His 1956 album Calypso was the Number One record in the country for 31 weeks and was the first LP to sell over a million copies. It is one of the first records a serious collector of mid-century vinyl should seek out. #harrybelafonte #botd #otd #calypso #legend #vinylcollection #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #classic #lp #lps #album

My man Jim Brown turns 85 today. Considered one of the greatest running backs in the history of the NFL, Jim retired in 1965 and became a trailblazing leading man in Hollywood. Today’s a good day then to drop Part 2 of my look at the blaxploitation films of the 1970’s; Jim appeared in many of the best. Read about the stars of this genre.

In my latest article, I encourage some healthy discussion of the blaxploitation films of the 1970's. Historical snapshots of the era, they also provide tons of fun. Read Part 1 of a fan's perspective. Link in bio. #blaxploitation #70s #70sfashion #70sstyle #70smovies #movie #movies #film #filmstudies #blogger #bloggerstyle #vintage #classic
Last month I noticed that Shelley Fabares turned 77 and I was reminded how much I've always liked her. Researching my latest article was like spending a few weeks with this very pleasant lady. Lots of great pics and links here. Link in bio. #shelleyfabares #oldies #oldiebutgoodie #oldiesbutgoodies #singer #actress #blog #blogger
