wiki doesn’t mention it, but:

Garr began as a background go-go dancer in uncredited roles in youth-oriented films and TV shows choreographed by Winters, including Pajama Party (a beach party film), the T.A.M.I. Show , Shindig! , Shivaree , Hullabaloo , Movin’ with Nancy , and six Elvis Presley features (many of which were also choreographed by Winters, including Presley’s most profitable film, Viva Las Vegas ).[19] When asked in a magazine interview about how she landed jobs in so many Presley films, Garr answered, “One of the dancers in the road show of West Side Story (David Winters) started to choreograph movies, and whatever job he got, I was one of the girls he’d hire. So he was chosen to do Viva Las Vegas . That was my first movie.”[18]

Dirty Dancing was one of the offerings on my plane ride today so, WTH, I watched it to better understand its appeal. I can see why it was popular but definitely not one of my genres! Loved the music though.

Quincy Jones passed away. I remember him from the We are the World song in 1985. Wanted to be a producer for a bit after that😂

I wonder how accurate the scene was in the movie Ray where Quincy Jones and Ray Charles are discussing playing before segregated audiences. If Quincy Jones really is the one who inspired Ray Charles to refuse to play in front of segregated audiences then :toth:.
