[Dave]

A "rehash" Jeff Barry/A&M venture w/ Nino Tempo, Darlene Love and even The Sweet Inspirations in tow, getting some at least average singing out of actors Sharkey & Gallagher...

But an interesting story line as it exhibits when this sort of thing meant true artistry, rather than expose any manufactured artifice in the music industry...

Or in the world of Avalons & Fabians vs. music of today: "They don't make 'em like they used to!"...
