I considered this to be the West Coast version of "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" - I felt so stoopid watching it, because I had never once in my youth thought, "Say, who's the BAND playing on this song, anyway?" - the Funk Brothers, the Wrecking Crew, and apparently a wild man named Danny were integral parts of my life's soundtrack and damn! - I'm the last to know!!
And Hilly, too (see post below)!

(13,523 posts)successfully recreate this time period...meh...can't be done...nah...but the director (Randall Miller?) and ALAN RICKMAN just killed it. KILLED it!! What a delightful surprise it was!!
When Mr. Rickman died, I know most people were thinking about Harry Potter, but I was so very sad that his "Hilly" had apparently been overlooked...hopefully, with time, more and more of us will see this memorable, sweet-natured piece of history, though, and Alan will be remembered for this amazing gem as well -
