Earlier I posted the Sports Illustrated cover photo of 16-year-old Laurence Owen. Here she is winning the 1961 U.S. championship in Colorado Springs on January 25, 1961--three weeks before she (and the rest of the U.S. team) were killed in a plane crash in Belgium. This was the first time the U.S. Figure Skating Championships were broadcast on network television. (Miss Owen's first name is misspelled on the TV graphic.) Yes, that is the familiar voice of Dick Button providing the commentary--back in 1961!

Here is the main song from the soundtrack "Cobra". The unforgettable looking bass musician is Jean Beauvoir, a notable talented soundtrack composer amongst his other titles. For the past decades, Jean Beauvoir has been often invited into recording studios to lay down tracks for various popular groups. Ongoing, Jean was mostly asked about his multi-talents in the studio, including the ability to involve himself with great work in the production end of recordings. The thing about his talents on various instruments, he never fails to meet the expectations of his services. Jean Beauvoir has added his "oldschool" work on more than 99 studio sessions, including his own rock albums. Most, if not all his five solo albums were for sale only in the European music market. However, there was more to him than that though; he is now a singer to a rock group called Crown of Thorns; and continues as a Presidential CEO of his own recording company in the entertainment industry, and this includes two other well-known companies in the same position. Beauvoir maintains a strong attachment as a major figure in the music business world, and keeps close to business ventures with a few "business-type" musicians, including Little Steven Van Zandt from Bruce Springsteen's group. Comparatively against other musicians from the eighties, Jean Beauvoir has kept his full-time career with the business of music. Today, the man has changed his appearance to that of the traditional shaven-head acceptable look.

Know anything of it?
Just another classic from '53. But, I tell you something. It was not a family friendly one.
Remember the time. Strictly for fans and Santa Claus.
Remember her in the role of the iconic Cat on that 1960s show? It was only a short stint as we know.
The intellectual woman had quite a tough life growing up, going from house to house, really not knowing much about her parents until later on.
This needy composition was partly penned by Joan Javits. But there was a bit of trouble with the actual people connected with the Xmas Baby. It seems that Joan Javits and Philip Springer were all over it it, which is the truth. But another name was added to the 45. Fictional writer Tony Springer. Why?
Both Philip and Joan worked for a big entertainment co. back then, and both decided to add down a 3rd writer for another rival company to get their composition heard yearly. Kinda strange, but this is how it went. They wanted earnings.
Years later, Joan decided to sell her 1/2 of it for dollar reasons in 1981. It wasn't being used enough at the time. Huh?
Recently the history of the track has been revived, revenue checks have really increased, this is thanks to Madonna's update.
It has gone on to being added in various tele and holiday movies because of her. This is where the green papers really are. Each telecast brings in a nice check.
The sexy X'mas single has as well been covered by various people you may know.
Eartha had already updated it in the early sixties with a quicker tempo. Can't really imagine that, but that is where she went with it then. These days, it has since then been changed around from its original jazzy sound.
Kinda like a yearly signature for the 24th and 25th.
It is ironic that Eartha passed on December 25, 2008.
Did you see her portray the Wicked Witch of the West in the nationwide stage production of "The Wizard of Oz"? I really enjoyed that. How about you?

From Wiki:
Boxing Day was traditionally a day on which the servants had a day off from their duties. Because of this the gentry would eat cold cuts and have a buffet-style feast prepared by the servants in advance. In modern times many families will still follow this tradition by eating a family-style buffet lunch, with cold cuts rather than a full cooked meal. It is a time for family, parlour games and sports in the UK.
The traditional recorded celebration of Boxing Day has long included giving money and other gifts to those who were needy and in service positions. The European tradition has been dated to the Middle Ages, but the exact origin is unknown and there are some claims that it goes back to the late Roman/early Christian era; metal boxes were placed outside churches used to collect special offerings tied to the Feast of Saint Stephen.
In the United Kingdom it certainly became a custom of the nineteenth century Victorians for tradesmen to collect their "Christmas boxes" or gifts in return for good and reliable service throughout the year on the day after Christmas. However, the exact etymology of the term "Boxing" is unclear, with several competing theories, none of which is definitively true. Another possibility is that the name derives from an old English tradition: in exchange for ensuring that wealthy landowners' Christmases ran smoothly, their servants were allowed to take the 26th off to visit their families. The employers gave each servant a box containing gifts and bonuses (and sometimes leftover food). In addition, around the 1800's, churches opened their alms boxes (boxes where people place monetary donations) and distributed the contents to the poor.
The establishment of Boxing Day as a defined public holiday under the legislation that created the UK's Bank Holidays started the separation of 'Boxing Day' from the 'Feast of St Stephen', and today it is almost entirely a secular holiday with a tradition of shopping and post-Christmas sales starting.
We invite people who celebrate this holiday to contribute to the information here.
