Found in the April 1965 Seventeen magazine. If a small tube of pimple medication won't do, a hugh jug of Ten-O-Six lotion will! Yes, you could actually buy it by the jug. I'll bet there were some brothers sneaking into their sister's supply. Fighting pimples was as serious in 1965 as it is today!

Dr. Joyce Brothers is known for being a television personality, psychologist and newspaper columnist. However, she first gained national fame in late 1955 by winning the jackpot on The $64,000 Question--a quiz program on which she appeared as a boxing expert. Originally she had not planned to choose boxing as her topic. However, the show's sponsors thought it would be an attention-grabbing gimmick to have a female answer boxing questions, so she agreed. A voracious reader, Brothers studied every reference book about boxing that she could find; she would later tell reporters that her good memory allowed her to accrue a wealth of information about the sweet science--so much so that she had no difficulty with even the toughest questions. When the TV quiz show scandals broke in 1959, Brothers insisted that she had never cheated, nor had she ever been given any answers to questions in advance. Subsequent investigations verified that she had indeed won her jackpot honestly. (No contestant on The $64,000 Question was ever proven to have cheated.) Brothers' success on The $64,000 Question earned her a chance to be the color commentator for CBS during a middleweight title match between Carmen Basilio and Sugar Ray Robinson. She thus became the first woman ever to be a boxing announcer.

Now, of course, as you may already know, I always got something planned with a special interest in it for you. We know, with life in general, sometimes we are lucky enough with some who can bring something impending cool into our life. I'm talking about a piece from '76 that ran into the next year and on. Remember William Royce Scaggs? Remember the slick hair and colored tux jacket? You do know the last name. A majority of you can recall all that with that sort of description. Well, the gent was born in 1944, over in northeastern Ohio, in a city called Canton. Best known these days as the birthplace of American professional football. I use to know next to nothing about the place until recently. With the Ohioian, he worked a long time in the business, starting out in 1965, trying hard to make a name for himself with his first effort. Speaking of first. He was first known as "Bosley" by pals in his younger days, until going with his now established name. There was something real special about him as others found out soon enough. But, he'd have to wait a while before things really took off for him, long before traveling over to European cities, which many of his kind did back then. Eventually with time, he had struck a deal with a good friend. In place was a strong working relationship with Steve Miller's The Marksmen. He had fit himself there with the mic for a short while. Soon after, both tried other possibilities together. In 1968, they worked on two neat collaborations. Do you know about "Children of the Future" or the "Sailor" releases? Time passed, as finally in the sixth year of the 1970s, Scaggs hooked himself up with a few guys that would go on to becoming the favored Toto. Together now, they really perked things up for the guy. It was his big break. It was huge around-the-world. No matter how many times he puts a hold on his long career, he always bounces back time and time again. These days, he can be found on the road with other gigs being checked out by the likes of you. For a time, he brought the right mix of cool without any comparison of the sort.

Remember what was happening in the year stated? Sure you do. Now, don't get me wrong on it, I know it is long ago. Ever had a conversation about it? Did you know that it was really inspired from a fruit-scented note that had been written for someone close to the original reclusive writer/instrument player. True. Who was he, the writer? Heard of him? Well, it was a guy named Shuggie Otis. For years, I had been previously unaware of the fact until a New Year's Eve conversation about the string player. As the story goes, he had no idea that by the time it was redone and finished, it would be as big as his own modest self. Down the five years, it worked out just fine for him. But, it really could of launched his budding career. His fortunes could of changed for himself for much of his life. But, Otis did seem content with it. Even though, as I said, he could never of anticipated it. It was just a love letter that spawned it. A relationship that went from one to another. All in all, it was particularly useful for him in the long run of things, as he was just a teenager when he put down his own feelings about it to a girl. He must of realized soon enough that he could draw a lot from it($). I bet, to his surprise, he had became the winning element when the original was reworked into something cooler by a few top-people who cleverly knew that were on to something. Resulting into something that fared better than the 1st try that he had made in the early '70s. Seems that the writer (Otis) had a female cousin, and because of this, one of the brothers came across the vinyl effort by accident by dating her. This is how a 2nd chance can come back around with a little more of an effort with a new idea added, and not being obliged to be faithful to the 1st source. There was a lot of accompaniment on the 2nd try. Do you know who was on it? It was a different sound altogether. Due to this, it made its way into our lives because of those involved. Even today, look no further, it is immensely enjoyable still. On the brothers, Louis and George, their association with Mister Jones was a welcomed chance to get them known around the world, thanks to his cousin. And now with particularly heading to Japan, QJ gave them the consistency that others would beg for then. As years went on, they experimented with other genres that would separate them all from their earlier days, especially with such things as church music. However, they would really not repeat back what they had done previously. Only choosing to go another way. By the late eighties, they had left due to more contemporary trends that were appearing. *E*

Once again, it's showtime! Who could forget, the affection former Manchester gent had gained then. It was just as equally great as his older siblings. It was unfortunate though, he had passed on at exactly 30 years of age. Bad timing. There was a lot of talk on why and so sudden. Remember when? Like all, we expect to spend a lifetime with him. But it was not to be. How do I incorporate a great life of travel for the Manchester-born performer? Well, as a child, he was relocated nearby Brisbane, Australia, which changed the course of his life. His days included being placed in the city of Sydney. But by the late 1960's, he decided to fly over to Britain with the rest of his family to seek a more appealing life of success with his brothers and close sister. He wanted to be creative and expressive like his other three bros. You could call this a cash move for the whole family. It seemed then, the family were making the right move for the boys. As he grew into his teen years, he set himself up on the Island of Ibiza (Spain) doing the tourist entertainment circuit, and then, after some time, he went over on the Isle of Man, found close to Britain and Ireland. In 1974, Barry asked him to return to Australia. He listened, and hastily packed, most obviously to take action to make it big. Often times, this is how you solve a problem, by taking your strong impulse and moving on with it. Back then, he was orienting himself with endlessly being connected with his brothers calling. As life suddenly became complex for him in 1976 Australia, he decided to take the significant step to go to Florida with them. It had become difficult to deal with his wife in Australia. He wasn't receptive to know that she was with baby. It wasn't his! That would of finished most, but he carried on in America. In the late part of '76, brother Barry was ready to guide his baby brother in the right direction. Everything felt better when both experienced a top-charted disc (#1) that his brother famously wrote for him, as he was too skilled at it, just like his other siblings were. The next year he saw a wave of success by the brothers that included himself this time. Do I really need to say that it was partly thanks to a white suit and a flashing-lit disco floor found in NYC. That accomplishment made them all feel like a million bucks. But it was even much more for them. At one point, Andy outsold all others with his brothers help. That is a strong family unit, just so long as you are happy. In April of '78, things took off for Andy. He achieved his hearts desire with a wave of numerous vinyl hits that followed more and more. Well, not that it made much of a difference, but Andy emerged just as popular as his family members. He had become as important. We are aware that Barry had a hand in it. Everyone shared together with the '78 hit. A great bond. Two years had passed, when things would crack with inadequate feelings. Time spent with his gal would become broken suddenly. How many recall Victoria P.? He had to choose from becoming an ongoing concern during the course of their known relationship. He ultimately suffered with losing her. He was too much in a daze then with her. Things were becoming strained with that. It wasn't good. So with various projects still being sent his way, he became more and more difficult in social situations on and off in the public. He did try and try by conquering his problems in '84. He was the top performer at a major festival in Chile, with performing two nights back to back. He also held a two-week engagement at San Fran's Fairmont Hotel in 03 of '86 thanks to his talents. His streak of ones was slowing though, even when he was given great opportunities. But he had a difficult time overcoming his now gone girlfriend. He couldn't move forward in a personal way. So he just fell into the distance of his private world of drugs and behavior issues. And absenteeism was causing heartbreak and agony, all caused by binges of that white junk we know of. Basically, it wasn't pretty. Much sadness followed quickly with him isolating himself from others due to that. All in all, he did achieve more by becoming the guy who would never disappear from us, despite the consequences that messed his life up. He had a total wave of 11 no. ones that came right on time in his life. Never forgotten. *E*

In 1999, the song was ranked as having had more radio and television "play" in the United States than any other song during the 20th century!
