Linda Taylor

Linda Taylor
Who knew that Andy Travis once had a famous girlfriend? When Linda Taylor came to Cincinnati (basically playing a Linda Ronstadt type) she reconnected with her old flame with the hope that she could lure him back on the road. Sadly for Taylor, Andy stayed in the Queen City as he was tired of moving “town to town up and down the dial”.




The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
WKRP in Cincinnati (1978)

Actor:
Barrie Youngfellow

Songs you might remember:
None

Why you should vote for her:
Well…it is from WKRP.

Why you should not vote for her:
We don’t remembering her singing.

Linda Moon

Linda Moon
From the Get Shorty sequel, “Be Cool”, we are introduced to Linda Moon, whose talent is the main plot point of the film. Although the film was profitable, the talents of Linda Moon were not remembered and thus not profiled in print very much. Without a signature tune, is there any reason to think that it might make our Hall? We have our doubts.




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Be Cool (2005)

Actor:
Christina Millan

Songs you might remember:
Surprisingly, none.

Why you should vote for her:
We are going to go with because “We smell what the Rock is cooking”.

Why you should not vote for her:
She was not as memorable as she should have been.



Les Garcons de la Plage

Les Garcons de la Plage
Dubbed the “French Beach Boys”, Les Garcons de la Plage were also managed by Leggy Mountbatten, who managed the Rutles. All we really learned about them is that they one album (California Boys) in 1968 and was only successful on the beaches of Normandy. We really did not see more than an album cover, though like all thinks Rutles, we actually know the names of the band, and all the tracks from their lone album. This really shouldn’t have a shot, but we are a sucker for any band that regularly poses with baguettes.

Lenny and the Squigtones

Lenny and the Squigtones
We did not know then what a musical genius that Michael McKean was, but how could we when we only knew him as Lenny from Laverne and Shirley. As it would turn out, this would be the first foray into the fictitious musical world for McKean and he wasn’t bad capturing the essence of the 1950’s. Honestly, we are thinking about making a wing in our Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame just for McKean.




The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Laverne & Shirley (1979)

Actors:
Michael McKean (Lenny)
David Lander (Squiggy)

Songs you might remember:
Star Crossed

Why you should vote for them:
The McKean factor is huge!

Why you should not vote for them:
They had no hit or any signature song.
