Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today's
Newsletter theme comes to us at the suggestion of
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
- 08/07/10 - "Suggested Newsletter
Theme: 'For Your Love':
Hi, Carol: Back in April 1958 a song was number 13 on the Hit Parade for 13 weeks, and was often played by Roger Clark during his evening broadcast over WGH-AM and it might be a good theme for one of your newsletters. For Your Love by ![]() Your subscribers can listen to it at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5jGHZzpQ9k TYPHOON Regards, Joe Madagan (58) of FL |
Thanks so much,
Adonis! In one of our beloved "small world" stories, I had been humming this
tune in my head for several days, but as I was singing the wrong words entirely,
I was of course quite unable to locate it!
Once you told me the name, I found another couple of versions as well:
BONUS #2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtogO5G3vKk&NR=1&feature=fvwp - For Your Love - Johnny Mathis
BONUS #3 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1dvr0lEVUw&NR=1 - For Your Love - The Lettermen
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Townsend:
Ed Townsend - Edward Benjamin Townsend - (April 16, 1929 - August 13, 2003) was an African American attorney, songwriter, and producer. He was best known for performing his composition, "For Your Love," a rhythm and blues doo wop classic, and as the co-writer of "Let's Get It On" with Marvin Gaye.[1]
Although he was born in Fayetteville, Tennessee, his family soon moved to Memphis where his father was called to pastor an African Methodist Episcopal church.
The year Townsend graduated from high school, he was elected to the International American Methodist Episcopal Youth Council (IAMEYC). The honor let him travel worldwide before enrolling in college the next year at Arkansas State College.
After graduating, he taught for a year. Although he never formally practiced law, he frequently used his law training to assist other entertainers in negotiating their recording and performance contracts.
In 1951, Townsend joined the United States Marine Corps and served in Korea. After his discharge, he recorded a number of singles for various labels, none of which made the charts. Ironically, in 1958 he took his ballad, "For Your Love" to Capitol Records, hoping to interest Nat “King” Cole, but, impressed with his voice, Capitol signed him to record it himself.
Dick Clark had just started American Bandstand on television and invited Townsend to sing the very first month the show aired. He was an overnight success and the song shot up the charts, reaching #13 on the US pop chart.....

Congratulations, Jean! Thanks so much!
But wait - are you insinuating
that I, the Biggus Wimpus, am the Weinius Maximus?!? Just because it's so
totally TRUE?!?
But you're right - and I didn't overdo it, and we had a marvelous trip and a
nice
41st Anniversary, too!

From Joe Drewry ('58) of VA - 08/08/10 - "Scans of Senior pix from Anchor?":
Hi,
Joe!
I have some Anchor scans posted on the site, but by no means a
comprehensive list. I've always intended to scan all the members of the Class
of '65, but ten years later, that's still incomplete.
http://www.nnhs65.com/
From other classes
I try to provide senior images from the 650 or so people on my subscriber list,
but again, not so much:

http://www.nnhs65.com/alumni-
http://www.nnhs65.com/alumni-
http://www.nnhs65.com/alumni-
http://www.nnhs65.com/alumni-
Of course, there
are all too many of our deceased schoolmates from the Classes of 1954 to 1971 -
including one from 1954 I just added this morning:
http://www.nnhs65.com/
Additionally I
have from time to time scanned images of others as they are mentioned, and
although they have no permanent home, they appeared in random Newsletters and I
have them preserved in a file.
If you're looking for someone specific, I do own all the Anchors from
1954 to 1966, as well as several from the 40's; maybe I could find you what you
need.

From Renee Helterbran Benton ('59) of VA - 08/09/10 - "Road Rage":
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states that road rage “involves a criminal act of violence whereas aggressive driving can range from tailgating to speeding to running red lights.” The NHTSA also estimates that one-third of all crashes are due to aggressive driving and that approximately two-thirds result in fatalities.
Driver frustration sources include the following: longer driving times, congested roadways, substance abuse, prejudices, and lack of common courtesy. In addition, driver frustration can lead to aggressive driving behaviors, but the real root cause of aggressive driving probably lies within each one of us. By taking an honest look at our own driving behavior and following the actions to take and those not to take below, you can reduce your stress level and avoid accidents while driving.
n Get plenty of sleep. Lack of sleep makes us prone to feelings of annoyance, resentment, and anger.
n Leave work at work and focus on your driving.
n Courtesy and err on the side of being cautious. It is just not that important to get there first.
n Regardless of how fast you are travelling, move to the right if someone wants to pass you.
n Plan ahead and allow yourself extra time to reach your destination.
n When changing lanes, signal your intentions early enough so that other drivers are aware of your intentions.
n Ease up and maintain a safe distance at all times.
n If someone is aggressively trying to get ahead of you, let him.
n Breathe and focus on your breathing, which brings your attention inward and makes frustrations seem more removed.
n Turn down the music. Aggressive music breeds aggressive driving habits.
n Keep your doors locked at all times. This can help prevent attacks when you pull up to intersections.
n Do not take it personally if another driver cuts you off. It may be a matter of a distracted driver or perhaps he/she is driving in an unfamiliar area or just failed to see you.
n Do not make eye contact with an aggressive driver. Do not give them a place to focus their aggression.
n Avoid gestures and resist the urge to make obscene gestures. Avoid making any visible sign to suggest you are angry.
n If someone cuts you off, let them alone and do not respond. Their aggression may escalate if you retaliate in any way.
n Remember you have no idea who you may be dealing with or what their stress level may be. If you are involved in an accident with an aggressive driver, do not stop or pull over until it is safe to do so.
n If you feel you may be in serious danger from an aggressive driver, call the police. Do not drive to your home and do not get out of your car until it is safe to do so.
Thank you so much, Renee!

For your love, oh, I would do anything
I would do anything, fo-o-or your love
For your kiss (ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh), oh, I would go anywhere (ahh, ahh,
ahh, ahh)
I would go (ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh), anywhere, fo-o-r your kiss
More foolish I grow
With each heart beat
But we all get foolish
That's why I repeat
For your love (ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh), oh, I would do anything (ahh, ahh,
ahh, ahh)
I would do anything, fo-o-or your kiss
I would do anything, fo-o-or your love (anything, anything, anything)
Fo-o-or your love
