Saturday Matinee – Terry Gilliam, Oliver’s Boogie, Booker T. & The M.G.’s, and someone named Fran Martin

“In 1968, while learning his trade and working in London as an animator, Terry Gilliam somewhat accidentally created a short film, the project would later take on the working title of The Christmas Card.”

THIS KID.

With only a week until Christmas, Booker T. & The M.G.’s Time Is Tight seems fitting. Have a great weekend. I’m gonna sleep in before things get too busy.

Oh, and just one more thing because it’s awesome.

Santa Claus Boogie, The Voices (1955) Robert “Bobby” James Byrd sang lead with The Voices, and as Bobby Day, had a hit with Rockin’ Robin in 1958. He had a string of hits writing and singing with a number of R&B groups, including the Hollywood Flames, that usually consisted of the same performers. Not to be confused with Butane James & The Famous Flames member Bobby Byrd.
