Music is the answer to most things to me, it is mood changing as well as refreshing....

This is Lari White in 1995


If you saw the film Cast Away made in 2000, she would have made an impression in the final scene.


Sadly she died of cancer at the age of 53 in 2018

It always amused me that in old videos, that guitarist Tony Hicks who joined the group when he was eighteen, looked about fourteen. But he certainly could play.

Just watched my recording of the film Mannequin.

Some great music from the late eighties, including the song in the final scene.


Both "Emmy" and "Roxie" went on to star in the "Sex in the City" series.


The plot is pretty much the same as that of the 1948, "One Touch of Venus." a film made of the Broadway show, with Ava Gardner and Robert Walker. Another film I enjoyed.

The leads sing the song "Speak Low," are actually miming to Eileen Davis and Dick Haymes who briefly also appear.

Two very talented people.

She a great singer (married to Laurie Holloway) and he an under-rated jazz pianist. Both sadly, long gone for nearly twenty years. they died within four months of each other.

She nearly loses it when he starts scat singing towards the end.


Here in a more serious mood.
