Here's David Whitley in <i>The Sporting News</i> in 2012:<br /><br /><i><a href="http://www.sportingnews.com/nba-news/2925013-jack-twyman-maurice-stokes-foundation-tim-duncan-karl-malone-cincinnati-royals" rel="nofollow">In the last game of the regular season, Stokes went skyward and fell backward over another player. The back of his head slammed the court, knocking him cold. These days, Stokes would have been immobilized and rushed to the hospital. In 1958, he was given smelling salts and sent back in.<br /><br />Stokes did his duty that night. He played the first game of playoffs three days later. On the flight back from Detroit, the big man started shaking and sweating. He had a seizure and went into a coma.<br /><br />An ambulance was waiting at the Cincinnati airport. Stokes had suffered post-traumatic encephalopathy. The blow had damaged the part of his brain that controls motor function.<br /><br />He would never walk again. At first, all he could do was blink.</a></i><br /><br />Almost totally paralyzed for the next 12 years, Stokes's constant companion and legal guardian during this period was one of his former Cincinnati teammates, Jack Twyman.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-35160632280825641742016-05-24T12:48:01.125-04:002016-05-24T12:48:01.125-04:00Great Blanchard/Morgan number, "Bethlehem Ste...Great Blanchard/Morgan number, "Bethlehem Steel," that didn't make the <i>American Bandstand</i> cut:<br /><br /><a href="https://youtu.be/nPA4mJwEcKQ" rel="nofollow"><i>Goodbye, honey<br />Goodbye, money<br />Goodbye, automobile<br />Goodbye, money<br />Goodbye, honey<br />Goodbye, Bethlehem Steel<br />I better get home now</i></a><br />Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-47120690472973505982016-05-24T12:41:43.776-04:002016-05-24T12:41:43.776-04:00For sure, the best record I've heard all 1970 ...For sure, the best record I've heard all 1970 remains Frank Sinatra's <i>Watertown</i>: <br /><br /><a href="https://youtu.be/9s9fPXlxT_8" rel="nofollow"><i>People say to me, <br />'You need company<br />'When you have <br />time to spend,<br />'Drop around <br />and meet a friend'<br />They forget<br />that I'm not over you<br />for a while</i></a> <br /><br />My Lord, that is so beautiful and so perfect.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-65713262964019002872016-05-24T11:58:51.648-04:002016-05-24T11:58:51.648-04:00Part 8 of YouTube's "Brandon Wolf 8mm Mov...Part 8 of YouTube's "Brandon Wolf 8mm Movies - 1960's-1970's" series silently flickers:<br /><br /><i><a href="https://youtu.be/INMa4A1oH5Q" rel="nofollow">* Raquel Welch and Mae West (1970)<br />* Carol Burnett and Lyle Waganer spoof of Rock Hudson and Doris Day (1970)<br />* Olivia deHavilland and Dirk Bogarde in 'Libel' (1970)<br />* Eric Hoffman's white convertible parked in Chatham, Virginia (1970)<br />* Tour of the White with Tricia Nixon and Harry Reasoner (1970)<br />* Miss America 1971 - Phyllis George wins (1970)<br />* The Supremes (1970)<br />* Alan Ladd and Brandon DeWilde in 'Shane' (1970)<br />* Dick Cavett, Bill Henson and the Muppets (1970)<br />* Joanne Woodward in 'Rachel, Rachel' (1970)</a></i>Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-55380034163246839992016-05-24T10:01:47.155-04:002016-05-24T10:01:47.155-04:00"I had stolen everything I possibly could fro...<a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/watch-james-taylor-recall-nervous-beatles-audition-for-apple-records-20150619" rel="nofollow">"I had stolen everything I possibly could from the Beatles."</a><br /><br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Taylor#1966.E2.80.931969:_early_career" rel="nofollow">I'm a huge, huge fan of James Taylor</a>; I even like some of his music. <a href="https://youtu.be/_hdFwfx2R2M" rel="nofollow">Here he is playing on May 16, 1970, maybe in Port Chester, New York.</a>Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-40127427796189219602016-05-23T18:48:32.371-04:002016-05-23T18:48:32.371-04:00Still No. 1: "American Woman" by the Gue...Still No. 1: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJTd9y-l6ks" rel="nofollow">"American Woman" by the Guess Who</a>.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-29261070993666830402016-05-23T18:32:11.234-04:002016-05-23T18:32:11.234-04:00On Ed Sullivan on May 10, 1970: "The Love You...<a href="https://youtu.be/k4BwSIYPhUo" rel="nofollow">On <i>Ed Sullivan</i> on May 10, 1970: "The Love You Save" by the Jackson 5</a>, No. 69 on this week's list.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-68860500347391749582016-05-23T15:44:33.419-04:002016-05-23T15:44:33.419-04:00No. 100 on the Cash Box Top 100 for the week endin...No. 100 on the <i>Cash Box</i> Top 100 for the week ending May 23, 1970: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmNvPPFXUW0" rel="nofollow">peppy "Primrose Lane" by O.C.
