The first time I saw him he did a version of Ray Charles` "I Got A Woman" and unfurling his long hair. I thought he was a hoot. No talent, but he put on a good show. You can say that about alot of people in rock and roll.<br /><br />Chris, want to send me your e-mail? There`s gonna be O.Rex and other things coming out I`d like to send to you.

But exactly when he became a "teen idol" if he ever really was one in the first place I do not know, nor do I know much about his general career other than during the Disco Tex days. If I know much about that period in his life at all! What a mystery man! His <b>TONIGHT SHOW</b> appearances which pop up on Youtube are equally strange with him talking about roles in movies that never get released and how his career is stagnant... But he must have had some sorta bubbling under staying power or how else would he have gotten name checked on the Mario Schifano album?Christopher Stiglianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107248034597839482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910067.post-54386399987220835922009-07-04T19:32:57.107-04:002009-07-04T19:32:57.107-04:00Happy 4th of July, Chris.
Monte Rock III was REGU...Happy 4th of July, Chris.<br /><br />Monte Rock III was REGULARLY on Merv Griffin. I must have seen him 5-8 times, if not more. At the time, I figured that he was some kind of Kim Fowley-esque renaissance man that I just had not heard of, sheltered life that I was leading.<br />However, later I discovered that NO ONE had heard of him; it wasn't just me. Has there ever been an article about him? Was he Merv's nephew or the son of someone in Merv's employ? Was he simply a scene-maker? My enquiring mind wants to know...<br /><br />BILL<br /><br />ps, hey I like Steve Alaimo. A lot.<br />His twist album is a killer, and many of his singles hold up really well. And he produced many great records. And he was in some classic south Florida exploitation films as an actor. The WHERE THE ACTION IS stuff is not his finest moment.Bill S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07573129431937332002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910067.post-81098409621379150612009-07-04T18:33:54.528-04:002009-07-04T18:33:54.528-04:00I guess you two would have a lot in common.
