bojojotiOkay, name that tune! It's from the '60s, is pure Motown sound, and was sung by a girl band.
The answer: "Stop! In the Name of Love." You knew that, didn't you?
We had the best time at the '60s show. We hadn't expected much, and it turned out to be an enjoyable, fast-moving show. The performers were very personable and friendly. The lead in this song was Jeanna Kilbane, an American veteran. We know this, because she was introduced as a veteran at the point in the show where vets were acknowledged and thanked for their service. EVERY show in Branson that we attended dedicated a segment for the appreciation of veterans. Branson is extremely patriotic. I did more overt appreciating of veterans in four days in Branson than I believe I have in my whole life. Which is fine--the veterans of the '60s and '70s, especially, deserve to have some long-delayed appreciation.
As an aside, Jeanna was the Army female vocalist of the year in 2003.
Jeanna was fun to watch. I have another post dedicated just to her.
Amber Campbell was the lead in this segment with psychedelic jumpsuits. They sang "Incense and Peppermints" which made Bojojr shake his head and exclaim that had to be the oddest song (he hadn't heard "MacArthur's Park" yet), to which we referred him to the proliferation of drug use in that era. Seriously, drugs brought about some of my favorite songs!
Those jumpsuits would certainly be a trip if one were impaired! Trippy, man.
We stayed after the show to meet the performers. I believe most acts do stay afterward to meet the audience. That's a unique feature of Branson performers--their willingness to meet, talk, and pose with the audience.
They are so friendly and obliging.
And they hustle for a living. Not only do they perform; they also work as sales clerks. We bought Bojoette a sequined '60s hat. If you lived through the '60s, you won't remember sequins on the hats--that's a modern twist--but I did have a denim one I loved. Peace, Amber!
We gave the pink hat to Bojojr to carry while I put away my camera supplies. Or, did I put away my camera? Hahahahahaha!
Once again, I apologize, Bojojr!
