Would You buy These Woman?

"Put women in front of a microphone and something happens to them. They become affected, overdramatic, high-pitched. Some turn sultry and sexy. Others turn patronizing, pseudo-charming.” —Unnamed NBC executive New York Times, May 24, 1964 And to think this guy was faced with dames as harmless as Connie Francis.

Maybe he’d merely turn to New Age philosophy and George Winston records. It’s hard to guess, but it just goes to show that a prophet really does go unrecognized in his own time.
