Oh my gosh! Until I spotted this video I had sadly forgotten all about Tommy Sands! I was a kid back then so only remember him in the movie Babes in Toyland, at least I “think” he was in that movie, but I was so young back then. I believe he was a huge star & my mom loved him.Nice to see this video!

He was wonderful, and a natural talent from the time he was a small child on radio, not an "Elvis clone" as many people thought. His Capitol recordings from the 50's are terrific, most reissued on CD. He made several films, married Nancy Sinatra and disappeared suddenly after their divorce. Draw your own conclusions. He now lives happily in Honolulu with his daughter from a later marriage and new granddaughter.

Tommy Sands was arguably the most talented of all the so-called "teen idols" that came along after Pat Boone and Elvis Presley exploded first. He was a very good actor right from the beginning of his career, he could actually play his guitar and had a super voice with great range. Plus he could even write good songs. He had it all. He was so humble in this interview.

Although Tommy Sands kindly mentioned Gene Austin, the first “crooner,” and credited Col. Parker with managing and promoting Gene Austin’s 1927 recording of “My Blue Heaven,” the fact is that Parker’s association with Gene Austin occurred in the mid-1950s when he (Parker) engineered Gene Austin’s comeback. Parker made up the sales figure of 86,000,000 (Sands adds another million to the figure) of Austin’s recording, when in fact they were about 200,000.

Amazing. One of my many crushes in my younger days. I remember Babes in Toyland. What a surprise when I learned Annette was born in Utica, NY. My hometown is about 30 minutes from Cooperstown (here in upstate NY) and The ⚾️ Hall of Fame. I think Utica might be about 2 hours away. Everyone fell in love with Tommy Sands, Frankie Avalon.... All the great singers and actors..... Not a big Elvis fan. I have met several actresses and actors, musicians., soap stars. Most were very down to earth and personable. I really cannot say a favorite, because everyone was exceptional in his or her own way. One person I had always wanted to meet was Bob Hope. Unfortunately I was never that fortunate. Now Gary Sinese is carrying on his tradition and I would love to meet him. I respect that man so much. Yes, I am a senior citizen. Bill Pullman is a graduate of our local college. Another graduate is Sal Palotano, of ESPN fame. John and Yoko had a home nearby, as did Bob Denver. I have heard of others, too. One evening I was at our local mall, and recognized Erin Grey (TV show Silver Spoons). We had a lengthy conversation. She was very personable and so down to earth. Remarkable lady. Many stars have vacation homes in our area. Nice country views, especially in autumn 🍁🍂🍁.

Tom Parker was a great promoter and looked for talent all the time everywhere. There was two people that I've heard about that were like someone divine walking in a room , one was Elvis and one was Will Rogers and Will even more so. He was like divine. It's incredible how he effected people. He said he'd never met a man he didn't like or a horse he couldn't ride.

So his one hit sold a million in a week, the interviewer says " wow that's a lot" Tommy then explains that today there are more people and they spend more money on records so they can sell 10-12 million records of one song, " lol" but he also says back in the 20s a song sold 87million copies " far small population and far less money, plus half the population didn't own a record player. Add to this hanging out with Elvis when he was 12 etc lol

I don’t blame Tommy from getting away from the Sinatra family. Frank had ties with the ‘MOB’ and other shady and questionable characters. If he felt that you crossed him or those he held dear to his heart he would turn on you and do whatever it took to destroy you. Tommy paid a high price for divorcing Nancy but I admire him for sticking to his principles. No decent upstanding person would want to live and be around those types the Sinatras had themselves surrounded by and who would spy on individuals and report back to Frank ‘The Master Puppeteer’ Sinatra 👌

Love your honesty and humility. This is a decent interview, in spite of the fact that affable Skip E. was a little over his head in that department. Skip did the best he could and really loved the entertainment industry. Lowe was very REAL. When he interviewed folks, you had to go in, with that in mind. God bless Mr. Sands and his talent and decentcy as a human being. To bad he ran into the Sinatra clan and Frank's irrational 'temper'. I only hope before Frank left us, that he realized that he could and should have handled Tommy in a much different way.

I am really enjoying these video uploads of interviews conducted by Skip E. Lowe you have generously uploaded to KZbin for others to view. He is very entertaining, well-informed and a very kind gentleman, his subjects including many who never or rarely received the long-form interview treatment (perhaps because they were not famous enough or had sufficient clout to be booked on the television shows hosted by Dick Cavett or Tom Snyder, etc.). I mean, where else can one see a Betty Garrett or Tommy Sands chat later in their careers, with that long perspective of hindsight? What was Mr. Lowe's actual name/birth name? I assume "Skip E." is a play on "Skippy," and a nickname or pseudonym. Were you friends with Skip E. Lowe, or how did you acquire his video collection (if you are free to divulge)? And is it true Martin Short's character of "Jiminy Glick" is based on M,. Lowe? If so, as with most impersonations, it is at least slightly exaggerated (but not much, I must say from observation). Also, did Mr. Lowe ever host a show which appeared on a non-cable access broadcast television channel, perhaps on KTLA or one of the long-surviving Los Angeles TV stations? Other than his somewhat strange physical appearance (for an older male), Mr. Lowe seemed an amiable man who asked generally straightforward, albeit more insightful, questions. And his enthusiasm for and knowledge of Hollywood was akin to TCM's Robert Osborne. Mr. Lowe's persona, by today's standards, wouldn't cause anyone to bat an eyelash. But I could see, in the 1960s or '70s, even into the '80s, such a personality inviting some kidding and insults by comics (similar to what Liberace received). I mean, Johnny Carson used to make jokes about even Wayne Newton's sexual orientation. So I could only imagine what treatment Skip E. Lowe must have received. I only wish my music career had made me successful enough to have been interviewed by Mr. Lowe. I think I would have enjoyed the experience. I always enjoying chatting with friendly, upbeat people who make greater use of the brain they are given, and especially persons who are clever enough to "know where the [proverbial] bodies are buried." I'll bet Mr. Lowe would have made a fascinating interview subject himself, that he was a guy who had some stories to tell. Did he ever write a memoir? Thank you again for sharing.

Seeker of Truth What killed TS and FS relationship was Tommy saying Frank would rather be the head of the Mafia instead of a singer. In an interview after Frank died she stated she could not remember what Tommy had said about her father. Right. She also stated she would never listen to her father's songs again. Around 3 yrs later she put out a medly of her father's songs for sale. How soon they change when it comes to $'s. She road on her father's coat tails, hardly a singer.

I just saw a Tommy Sands interview, according to the video it was in 2003, here's the site. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGnCo3pqe9Cinbc Anyway, Tommy's physical appearance or age (youthfulness) looks way better in this interview, does anyone know the year this interview took place?

Perhaps a little. I wonder if Wink is still alive. My favorite episodes were when Thom McKee (and his beautiful wife Jenny) were on and Thom amassed the amount of $312,700 and many cars, trips, etc. Such a humble and beautiful couple. I certainly hope they remained together. ❤🙏🙏🙏❤

Is it true that Frank Sinatra had Tommy blackballed after he divorced Nancy Sinatra...or is this just a long standing rumor never proven?
@frankopaddo9647
@frankopaddo9647 6 жыл бұрын
the blackballing sounds unlikely. For Sinatra to "blackball" someone, even at his peak, in both Hollywood and music would be quite a achievement. It's probably something less dramatic like his divorce from Nancy led to him not getting any favours from Frank, or Frank's label etc. There was no boost to his career and that is something different to blackballing. He hadn't recorded an album since 1961 (at the time of his divorce in 1965) because he was concentrating on film and television and that was slowing because audiences weren't responding to him as a lead (I assume - otherwise his roles would have grown during that time). And even if he was up for a role somewhere and Frank rang up a mate and said "No role for Tommy" that is something quite different to a blackballing which is an industry wide ban like the ones suffered by various actors, writers and directors in the 50s.
