Lou Adler

And it failed.

And it only became a huge hit when Lou Adler, no relation to me, produced the movie.

And then it became a huge hit and a cult following.

Now, having seen, having worked with Tim in a filmed, recorded medium, you've also seen him work live, right?

When will there be a harvest for the world? When will there be a time that all people have an equal share of what's going on? When will they have equality in their lives? Wonderful World has a similarly upbeat message.

It was composed in 1960 for Sam Cooke by the songwriters Lou Adler and Herb Alpert, a couple of white guys who went on to become major figures in the music industry.

For them, though, it was just another job, a song that said that love could make the world a wonderful place.

They didn't think too much of the song, but apparently it seemed to really strike a chord with Cooke, who kept on coming back to it and adjusting the lyrics to steer it towards the subject of education and specific school subjects.

I'll just give you kind of a brief description of them.

They're a band that came together in the mid-60s, and they were pretty much created under producer-songwriter Lou Adler.

They eventually settled around lead singer Rob Grill.

He's kind of the one that made the band during their popular years.

[laughs] There's this amazing interview.

He's being interviewed by Lou Adler, I think, and he says, you know, "Was, uh, the, was there anybody who got away?" And he just went, "Yeah, Piggy.

Miss Piggy.

Because, you know, once you, once you've had pork you don't go back." [laughs]

And I'm surrounded by like some incredible musicians and incredible people.

Lou Adler, Cisco Adler, Kenny Ortega.

Like, you know, these people who are giants in the field.

And I'm sitting here and I'm having a full on conversation with Tim Curry.

Outraged, John fired her from the group on June 4th, 1966.

Producer Lou Adler's girlfriend, singer-songwriter Jill Gibson, was quickly hired as her temporary replacement.

Because the cover art photo featuring Michelle had already been shot, Dunhill Records had Gibson pose in the exact same position and literally superimposed Gibson's face over Michelle's face.

Sort of a Photoshop before Photoshop.

She met late in life.

She was also married to Lou Adler, who was a huge record label person.

But in the meantime, she's one of these stars who, that then became a television stable.

She was on Manic.
