She is the daughter of Minnie Newsome, a jazz performer who has been cited as the inspiration for the Cab Calloway classic "Minnie the Moocher"; Douglas' father was a mortician. Sam Cooke was Douglas' cousin. At the age of 10 Douglas was a contestant and winner on the game show Name That Tune and says "Ebony followed my career for the next three years". Douglas attended the Willard May School for professional children and afterwards the Quintanos High School for young professionals alongside Gregory Hines, Bernadette Peters, Carol Lynley and Patty Duke. While in high school Douglas sang in a female trio named April May & June who were signed as a management client by Little Anthony and the Imperials. Douglas made a one-off recording in 1963 for RCA Victor cutting the single "I Don't Mind (Being Your Fool)" under the name Carolyn Cooke: becoming pregnant with her first son at age 15 ended RCA's interest in promoting her. Douglas also cut several jingles for TV commercials - "[I] used to do voiceovers for Ideal Toys and General Mills with Bernadette Peters" - but recalls: "I never thought I would be a singer", and for most of the 1960s Douglas pursued an acting career, appearing in an episode of her classmate's The Patty Duke Show but mostly acting in theatrical productions .... + Informações

Early performance of their song at the Dutch absurdity show Discohoek from Wim T. Schippers I added some annotations for your viewing experience ... This quickly made B-side eventually sold over nine million copies In this little flick the host of the show, Sjef van Oekel (roughly translated Van Doofus), is welcoming them in gibberish - Chinese, which Carl doesn't seem to understand since to Sjef´s big surprise he speaks English ... In the middle of the clip Dolf shamelessly celebrates the 12½ anniversary of their program, but sidekick Evert van der Pik (van der Dick) prefers buttermilk ... The rest speaks for itself, hopefully. + Informações

Another worn out 45 from my collection. This copy has seen many a bad needle in it's day and it shows! This is the "B" side to "Doctor's Orders", a smash hit from 1974/5. This B side is excellent in my opinion and deserves some air time! This copy has an off center hole, so the speed deviates quite a bit as you might notice!. + Informações

Carol says Andrew drinks too much and she doesn't like that their children know about beer. She once thought he was dead because he was hanging outside of the car, drunk! Andrew says drinking beer after work does not make him a drunk. He says he is depressed with the thought of losing his family, if Carol decides to leave.. + Informações
