Title: "You're Under Arrest !" Post by: Andrew G. Doe on October 06, 2011, 12:38:45 AM Spoken by Gene Gaddy, Barbara Rovell's husband, as we all know.
Wrong - been researching something else entirely and it turns out the guy's name was Harry Eugene Gaddy, and that he and Barbara weren't married until 2/20/70. These things are important to me, y'know. :) Title: Re: \ Post by: Cliff1000uk on October 06, 2011, 02:34:27 AM Harry Gaddy?? :)
What did he do for a living? That's quite a good claim to fame, though Title: Re: \ Post by: STE on October 06, 2011, 04:43:38 AM I hope the TSS book gets this fact straight or I will send the boxset back. Title: Re: Post by: 37!ws on October 06, 2011, 05:15:48 AM Yeah, I was gonna say....given Barbara's age when Marilyn and Brian got married...
Title: Re: \ Post by: Chocolate Shake Man on October 06, 2011, 06:06:12 AM Well, given the name, my guess is he was probably referred to as Gene and that's why the name circulated as such.
Title: Re: \ Post by: guitarfool2002 on October 06, 2011, 07:54:53 AM Interesting! So he and Barbara were dating in 66-67 but didn't marry until 1970? Interesting. Whoever ID'ed the folks in the airport photo may have said "Oh, that's Gene" if his friends didn't call him as Harry.
The man himself, far left: (http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n295/guitarfool2002/rovells.jpg) Title: Re: \ Post by: Andrew G. Doe on October 06, 2011, 09:26:35 AM Barbara was born in 1951-ish... so in that photo, she's 15, 16 if you really push it. A family trait, it seems. Gene is a year older.

Title: Re: \ Post by: onkster on October 06, 2011, 01:32:39 PM Anybody heard a session tape of this? I wonder how many times--and how many variations--he had to say YUA before he got to that goofy one they used.
Title: Re: Post by: 37!ws on October 06, 2011, 01:43:44 PM Dunno, onk, but the BWPS DVD shows Nick doing several takes before Brian calls one perfect. It's very similar to Gaddy's performance...yet it's not the one that ended up on the CD! Been a great mystery to me for almost seven years. I much prefer the Gaddy version...
Title: Re: \ Post by: Chocolate Shake Man on October 06, 2011, 02:21:14 PM I always thought the original had a Spanish vibe to it.
Title: Re: \ Post by: Alex on October 06, 2011, 09:39:11 PM And all this time I thought it was Denny that said it.

It's very similar to Gaddy's performance...yet it's not the one that ended up on the CD! I blame Jeff Foskett. He didn't like that version. Reminded him of Love You (which he's hated ever since he had the mental breakdown and listened to it for 4 weeks straight while petting a pillow and eating push pops). Title: Re: Post by: Jay on October 06, 2011, 11:30:00 PM Dunno, onk, but the BWPS DVD shows Nick doing several takes before Brian calls one perfect. Yeah, and if you watch the concert portion of the Beautiful Dreamer DVD, you'll see and hear Nick do it the exact way that Brian tells him NOT to do it in the studio. :lol |
