| ROBERT CRAY, CHUCK BERRY, AND THE ROLLING STONES: COME ON! Posted: 21 Feb 2011 04:39 AM PST  Robert Cray Yesterday as I was home in the snow storm... I spent the day hanging out with Hail Hail Rock N Roll the awesome Chuck Berry documentary. While watching I became obsessed by Robert Cray's version of Chuck Berry's "Come On". I just loved it! Couldn't buy it anywhere but it is on You Tube. Chuck released "Come On" in March of 1961. The Rolling Stones used it as their first single in the summer of 1963. I like all three versions Robert's, Chuck's and then Stones... Take a look see what you think... Some folks wrote me to mention Joe Jackson's cover of "Come On" too. I want Robert Cray to record this song.... he tears it up! Come On: Chuck Berry Everything is wrong since me and my baby parted. All day long I'm walkin' 'cause I couldn't get my car started. Laid off from job and I can't a'ford to check it. I wish somebody'd come along and run into it and wreck it. Come on, since my baby parted, come on. I can't get started, come on. I can't a'ford to check it. I wish somebody'd come along and run into it and wreck it. Everything is wrong since I been without you. Every night I lay awake thinkin' about you. Everytime the phone rings sounds like thunder. It's some stupid jerk tryin' to reach another number. Come on, since I been without you, come on. Steady thinkin' about you, come on. Phone sounds like thunder. It's some stupid jerk tryin' to reach another number. Everything is wrong since I last saw you baby. I really want to see you and I don't mean maybe. I'm doin' everything, tryin' to make you see, That I belong to you, honey, and you belong to me. So come on, I wanna see you baby, come on. Come on, I don't a-mean maybe, come on. Come on, I'm tryin' to make you see That I belong to you and you belong to me. Come on.  |
| ALONG CAME A SPIDER....CLAUDINE LONGET Posted: 21 Feb 2011 03:44 AM PST  Singer Andy Williams and ex-wife Claudine Longet There once was girl named Longet... She went out to Aspen to play... Along came a Spider... He sat down beside her...  Claudine Georgette Longet (born 29 January 1942) Born in Paris, France, Longet was married to pop singer Andy Williams from 1961 until 1975. She has maintained a private profile since 1977, following her conviction for misdemeanor negligent homicide in connection with the death of former Olympic skier "Spider" Sabich.  Andy Williams and Claudine Longet happier times This crime happened in March of 1976. When it hit the airwaves it began a media frenzy very similar to the OJ Simpson murders. We all thought Longet had shot Spider Sabich out of jealousy.. There were tons of rumors flying about Spider having many younger women. But whatever the rumor... we all knew Longet would get a pass for this crime.  Longet and Sabich She was just too pretty and innocent with that angelic face and sweet voice. Nope... we knew she wouldn't end up on death row. She received a deferred sentence of 30 days in County lock up. Longet even picked which days! The friends and family of Spider Sabich were outraged! But the power of celebrity won out once more... It would win out many more times over the next few decades...  Sabich and Longet Longet was arrested and charged with fatally shooting her boyfriend, Olympic skier Vladimir "Spider" Sabich, at his Aspen, Colorado, home on 21 March 1976. At trial, Longet said the gun discharged accidentally as Sabich was showing her how it worked. Williams publicly supported Longet throughout the trial, even escorting her to and from the courthouse.  Claudine Longet The handgun was a gift from Spider's father, a highway patrolman, and belonged to his younger brother Steve. An inexpensive copy of a German Luger, the pistol was purchased eight years earlier, while the Sabich family was in Europe to watch Spider compete at the 1968 Winter Olympics in France.  The weapon was stored unloaded and well-hidden under sweaters in a closet in Spider's home. Forensics showed that Sabich was bent over and at least 6 feet (1.8 m) from the gun when it discharged. Not exactly the position for demonstration the proper use of a hand gun.... The Aspen police made two procedural errors that aided Longet's defense: without warrants, they took a blood sample from her and confiscated her diary. According to prosecutors, the sample showed the presence of cocaine in her blood, and her diary reportedly contradicted her claim that her relationship with Sabich had not soured. In addition, the gun was mishandled by non-weapons experts. As they were unable to cite any of the disallowed material, prosecutors did use the autopsy report to suggest that when Sabich was struck he was bent over, facing away, and at least 1.80 m (6 feet) from Longet, which would be inconsistent with the position and relative distance of someone demonstrating the operation of a firearm. The jury convicted her of a lesser charge—misdemeanor criminal negligence—and sentenced her to pay a small fine and spend 30 days in jail. The judge allowed Longet to choose the days she served. She vacationed with her defense attorney during this time which just kept the media frenzy going... Video of Longet going to court (turn sound off) Claudine by The Rolling Stones After the criminal trial, the Sabich family initiated civil proceedings to sue Longet. The case was eventually resolved out of court, with the proviso that Longet never tell or write about her story. She never has... We liked Andy Williams for standing by his ex-wife which was the honorable thing to do for his children. Longet disappeared off the radar, remains married to her former defense attorney, and lives in Aspen.  |
