And yeah, Sir Monti really cashed in with Get Dancin'--one has to wonder who blew who to get that record made?

er... let's not go there. But Merv did "discover" him.

BOS #whatever ELO -- "Poker"? I hardly know 'er!

The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, featuring Sir Monti Rock III !  Because of him the song was originally titled "Jackie Blew"

Too funny.  I thought for a second that that ELO song was Cheap Trick.  Pretty similar at that point, both in instrumentation and vocal sound.

JINX!

I didn't think this set was as earth-shattering as some of you seemed to... but the company and comments have been the best in months! Thank you ALL!!

And another BOS Tavares. it only took Sir Monti a minute.

I'd agree that Sir Monti hasn't accomplished a thing.

see if you can find clips of him on Merv's show in his pre-disco days. Jaw-dropping (no pun intended).

Count the double entendres in Merv's intro:

ETA: Check the related videos as well--several clips of him on the Carson show in the Disco-Texx era.

"I don't dig chicks with short hair -- they're not feminine"  WTF??

But that version of "Tennessee Waltz" -- yikes.  I still remember seeing him do Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne" once. Horrendous.
