“All About That Bass” 1940s Style

“All About That Bass” 1940s Style

Something fabulous for a Friday afternoon. I adore this smooth jazz version of Meghan Trainor’s ‘All About That Bass’ by Kate Davis – isn’t it gorgeous? And just in case you don’t know the original here you go: It’s equally fabulous but in a totally different way! Enjoy! And Happy Halloween everyone!

Alice Cooper before he was a hard-core rocker

Alice Cooper before he was a hard-core rocker

The band Alice Cooper photographed in natty flared suits in 1973 before they adopted their hard-core rock image. You probably know Alice Cooper better for biting the heads of snakes (or was that Ozzy Osborne?) and looking like this. Amazing what a good stylist can do for your career isn’t it?

Alice Cooper 1970s

I have a guilty secret, I love Rock music.  Guns N Roses, AC/DC, Aerosmith, and one of my first loves (along with Steven Tyler) was Alice Cooper.  Here he is looking rather sulky photographed in 1977.

David Bowie and Cher photographed in 1975 on Cher‘s TV program. If I didn’t know this was a photo taken during a performance I would have assumed it was a photo of waxworks! They look very doll-like don’t they?

I just heard this on the radio and wanted to share, but unfortunately couldn’t find an actual video of the Chordettes singing Mr Sandman, and this version made me smile… Hope you like it!
