MOVIE OF THE WEEK

I really enjoyed this Paramount+ nine episodes series and so glad to hear it has been renewed for a second season.

The first episodes had their share of humor to lighten up the darkness, but towards the end of season one, the episodes were still interesting, but I missed the humor that lightened things  up.

MUSIC OF THE WEEK

All I Really Want To Do (1965)

By Cher

Song Facts

The initial idea to cover “All I Really Want to Do” came when Cher heard the Los Angeles folk rock band the Byrds perform it during their pre-fame residency at Ciro’s nightclub on the Sunset Strip in March 1965.

A minor controversy between Cher and the Byrds ensued when it was alleged by Columbia Records (the Byrds’ record label) that Cher and Sonny Bono had taped one of the Byrds’ appearances at Ciro’s without permission, in order to use some of the band’s repertoire on Cher’s own album.

Although the Byrds planned to issue “All I Really Want to Do” as a single themselves, they were largely unconcerned with the imminent release of Cher’s recording, feeling that there was enough room in the charts for both versions.

In a retaliatory attempt to bury Cher’s version, Columbia rush-released the Byrds’ “All I Really Want to Do” single and both versions entered the Billboard Hot 100 during the same week. A chart battle ensued, largely instigated by Columbia Records and the music press, but ultimately the Byrds’ version stalled at #40 on the U.S. charts, while Cher’s cover reached #15.

ART  OF THE WEEK

EXTRAORDINARY PERSON  OF THE WEEK

Raquel Welch

Raquel Welch (September 5, 1940 – February 15, 2023) was an American actress and model.

Welch first won attention for her role in Fantastic Voyage (1966), after which she won a contract with 20th Century Fox. They lent her contract to the British studio Hammer Film Productions, for whom she made One Million Years B.C. (1966). Although Welch had only three lines of dialogue in the film, images of her in the doe-skin bikini became bestselling posters that turned her into an international sex symbol.

She later starred in Bedazzled (1967), Bandolero! (1968), 100 Rifles (1969), Myra Breckinridge (1970), and Hannie Caulder (1971). She made several television variety specials.

Through her portrayal of strong female characters, which helped in her breaking the mold of the traditional sex symbol, Welch developed a unique film persona that made her an icon of the 1960s and 1970s.  (Source: Wikipedia).
