    Parker released 20 singles between 1959 and 1976. They all got a lot of airplay in New Orleans. Barefootin', his sixth single, went to #2 on the R&B chart and #7 on the Hot 100 in 1966: "They're doin' a dance without any shoes. They're barefootin'." A year later, Tip Toe became his only other national chart hit. Parker was inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall Of Fame in 2007.

    Sketch comedy series Monte Python's Flying Circus aired on BBC Television from 1969 to 1974 and spawned several movies, several books, several record albums and a stage play. Dallas PBS station KERA began showing episodes in October 1974 and within a year the series was airing on a majority of PBS stations – and getting high ratings. The Welsh-born Jones frequently portrayed a nude organist, a middle-aged housewife, Cardinal Biggles of the Spanish Inquisition and the morbidly obese Mr. Creosote.

    Robert Schoen – he used the phonetic spelling Shane – formed the Kingston Trio in 1957 in San Francisco with Dave Guard and Nick Reynolds. Their name represented Kingston, Jamaica, home of then-popular calypso music. The Kingston Trio's hits include Tom Dooley, M.T.A., Greenback Dollar, A Worried Man, Desert Pete, The Tijuana Jail and The Reverend Mr. Black. At the first Grammy Awards ceremony in May 1959, Tom Dooley won for "Best Country & Western Performance," even though the song never appeared on the country chart. Go figure! The Kingston Trio also had 14 top-ten albums and five number ones. Shane was the last surviving original member.

    Dusay was a regular on the daytime dramas Capitol, Santa Barbara, Guiding Light and All My Children. (In the 1930s and '40s, many daytime radio serials were sponsored by Procter & Gamble, maker of Duz, Dreft, Camay, Ivory, Oxydol and other soaps and detergents. The programs became known as "soap operas" – and the name stuck.) Dusay also played a waitress in the 1967 Elvis Presley film Clambake and played Blair's mother on The Facts Of Life.
