| Gene Harris--Theme for Relana (1976) |
 |
Biography by Scott Yanow
One of the most accessible of all jazz
pianists, Gene Harris' soulful style
(influenced by Oscar Peterson and containing
the blues-iness of a Junior Mance) was
immediately likable and predictably
excellent. After playing in an Army band
(1951-1954), he formed a trio with bassist
Andy Simpkins and drummer Bill Dowdy which
was, by 1956, known as the Three Sounds. The
group was quite popular, and recorded
regularly during 1956-1970 for Blue Note and
Verve. Although the personnel changed and the
music became more R&B-oriented in the early
'70s, Harris retained the Three Sounds name
for his later Blue Note sets. He retired to
Boise, ID, in 1977, and was largely forgotten
when Ray Brown persuaded him to return to the
spotlight in the early '80s. Harris worked
for a time with the Ray Brown Trio and led
his own quartets in the years to follow,
recording regularly for Concord and heading
the Phillip Morris Superband on a few tours;
1998's Tribute to Count Basie even earned a
Grammy nomination. While awaiting a kidney
transplant, he died on January 16, 2000, at
the age of 66.

Charlies Angles TV Show Opening Theme Season
One. Quality from DVD source. 1976 70s
seventies Farrah Fawcett Jaclyn Smith Kate
Jackson David Doyle.
Three women, the Angels, (originally Kate
Jackson, Farrah Fawcett-Majors, and Jaclyn
Smith) graduated from the police academy and
were hired to work for the Charles Townsend
Agency as private investigators. Their boss,
Charlie (voiced by John Forsythe), is never
seen full face — in some episodes he is
shown from the rear only (where the viewer
only sees the back of his head and his arms)
— assigning cases to the Angels and his
liaison, Bosley (played by David Doyle), via
a speaker phone.
Charlie's Angels is episodic in nature, as
opposed to serial, thus each episode shows
the Angels finding themselves in new
situations in which they would go undercover
to investigate. The undercover aspect of the
show creates much of the plot interest and
tension. In the early seasons of the show,
the Angels, under their assumed identities,
use a combination of sexual wiles and
knowledge learned for the situation in which
they are being placed, but by the third and
fourth seasons, the writing has a tendency to
stray from the sex appeal (see "As 'Jiggle
TV'") and focus more on the case at hand.
