Another 60s star is gone.
Said Alice Cooper of Flo and Eddie.

“Truly, two of the most talented guys I’ve ever worked with,” Mr. Cooper was quoted as saying in “Happy Forever.” “They had such pure voices. Everybody wanted to work with Mark and Howard because they were so much fun. They’d walk in a room, and it was party time. And I don’t mean drug party — I mean they were fun. ”

I have been a fan of Jules Shear for many years. I own a Jules and The Polar Bears LP and two CDs.
Jules certainly never became a household name but did write a number of great songs recorded by others. Cyndi Lauper’s “All Through The Night”, the Bangles “If She Knew What She Wants”, Alison Moye’s “Whispering Her Name”, plus a number of others.
I think it’s cool the Bangles appeared with Jules during his big debut on American Bandstand. As Mr. Clark says to the audience “The Bangles are only here to do a favor” and no it has never been “Jules year” also stated by Clark.

What a great way for Shear’s to spend “his 15 minutes of TV fame”!
