Yes, girls, it is already that time of year, when all on here wish Shelley Plimpton a happy birthday. She turns 76 today and could step out onstage tonight and do "Frank Mills" as heart rending as when she first sang it back in the Sixties.
To younger readers, she may only be known as the mom of actress Martha Plimpton. But for us oldsters in the know, she will always be the original Crissy in "HAIR," who sang of meeting "Frank Mills." A replication of which I performed for 22 years--1978-2000--on September 12, and in front of the Waverly. Now, I use the song as my vocal warm up. If I can still hit those notes, my voice is in good shape.
Shelley, all on here salute you, and wish you best 76th year for you. You will always be cherished in both hearts and memories.
And now, what else?--
Here is Shelley singing what she gave to the world, as only she could!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many have tried, but few, if any, have been able to capture that plaintive quality so perfectly!!
