Jack Jones!
• From her year at CBS

• I like blue.

  Joe

• Tracey Everett was hot. Any dirt? And the jealousy that Mel Torment has for Jack Jones is obvious. Jack is much better looking and a much better singer than Mel. But Lorna and Joey should've stayed home. No talents!!

• I haven't thought about CONTAC in thirty years

• Judy kisses Joey a lot...a lot

• [R5] yes a bit creepy

• "Clang, clang, clang" went the trolley "Ding, ding, ding" went the bell "Zing, zing, zing" went my heartstrings For the moment I saw him I fell "Chug, chug, chug" went the motor "Bump, bump, bump" went the brake "Thump, thump, thump" went my heartstrings When he smiled, I could feel the car shake He tipped his hat, and took a seat He said he hoped he hadn't stepped upon my feet He asked my name I held my breath I couldn't speak because he scared me half to death "Buzz, buzz, buzz" went the buzzer "Plop, plop, plop" went the wheels "Stop, stop, stop" went my heartstrings As he started to leave I took hold of his sleeve with my hand And as if it were planned He stayed on with me and it was grand Just to stand with his hand holding mine All the way to the end of the line

• "Steam Heat" isn't one of my Christmas favorites. Too much non-Judy stuff. She's in great voice--why didn't they just let HER sing Christmas songs?

• R3 Liza got pregnant by Tracy. Quick abortion.

• I still wanna know what Joey is whispering during "Over the Rainbow."

• Are there nude photos of Jack Jones presenting hole?

• Yes, indeed!

  Jill St. John

• There must be, r11, because Jones was a drunk.

• "Judy kisses Joey a lot...a lot" He was probably her favorite child, her only son. It was lucky that he survived (one of his lungs failed to open after his birth) so she no doubt considered him "special." And he WAS "special." Judy was very kissy-feely; that was like that in general. I once saw a picture of her leaning toward Frank Sinatra to kiss him; her mouth was wide open. Yech!

• The producers would get angry at Judy if she was touchy-feely, it's well documented.

• Let's be honest . . . Joey Luft was and remains a bit "off".

• So stilted and fake. Lorna looks tentative and nervous, I feel bad for her. She ended up being Judy's little caretaker in the final years. God knows the secrets she won't tell. "Me And My Shadows" indeed.

• And Joey today?

• I still like blue.

  Joey

• lol r19. perfect

• He attended the annual Judyfest in Grand Rapids a few years ago . . . and he also saw and enjoyed The Boy from Oz on Broadway.

• Joey Luft is FAS and has never been able to live independently. I don't know if there is a trust set up to take care of him or Liza and Lorna directly contribute finances but he's taken care of by his family. Judy was able to cut down on the pills and booze when she was pregnant with Liza and Lorna but not Joey. In Judy's defense, FAS was not really understood in that time period.

• Have a banana!

  Joey

• R10, what do you think?

  Red%2C%20white%20and...

• LOL R24!
