Mark Ribowsky to call in to Soap Box, Friday July 2, 2010
Joe Viglione
Correspondent
SUPREMES BIOGRAPHER TO CALL IN TO SOAP BOX
Mark Ribowsky's 2000 take on the creator of the Wall of Sound, "He's a Rebel: Phil Spector--Rock and Roll's Legendary Producer" was 368 pages, re-released in 2007 on Da Capo with 112 extra pages, new information since the tragic 2003 shooting of actress Lana Clarkson at Spector's residence.
Since that re-release Ribowsky has published a biography on The Supremes as well as Signed, Sealed, and Delivered: The Soulful Journey of Stevie Wonder. In September the third installment of his Motown trilogy, Ain't Too Proud to Beg: The Troubled Lives and Enduring Soul of the Temptations, will be published by Wiley.
Ribowsky will be calling in to Wincam's SOAP BOX this Friday, July 2nd, to discuss his books.
REVIEW:
The Supremes, a Saga of Motown Dreams, Success and Betrayal is a much needed 440 page book on one of the greatest “girl groups” of all time, some say the ultimate girl group. And it would be hard to disagree with that thought as Diana Ross and The Supremes were everpresent on the radio in the 60s and – unlike Big Brother & The Holding Company, The Doors and The Jimi Hendrix Experience, the group was able to continue to have hits after the lead singer – in this case Berry Gordy’s focus, Diana Ross – left the group. Sure AC/DC survived Ronald Belford “Bon” Scot’s “death by misadventure” (drinking) and other members coming and going…but does the general public know who lead vocalist Brian Johnson is by hearing his name or AC/DC?
Mary, Flo, and Cindy have the “John, Paul, George, Ringo” effect, even though the singers-not-in-the-lead were downplayed by Motown. Even when Jean Terrell took over people still thought of it as Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong’s group. While the drama in the book is the Ross/Gordy relationship, Diana’s need to be a superstar and how the talents and egos of the team that made it happen – including, of course, the essential Holland, Dozier, Holland, Ribowsky – very wisely – keeps the history front and center, the made-for-tv shenanigans part of the history, but not as vital as the end result, the music.
Yes, the hardcore fans would like even more of the story, a bigger emphasis on the latter-day Supremes, but what the author has done here is no small achievement…he’s managed to put a solid document together of this incredible hit machine, and bring the humanity of each individual involved to center stage. Sure, a film could be made on each individual that was a major part of the Supremes, including Jean Terrell, but it is the story of the dreamgirls that is what the public craves most.
Flo Ballard’s passing is every bit as tragic as Phil Spector’s fall from grace, and Mark Ribowsky handles all of the bad and the good with objectivity and diplomacy. Now out in paperback it is highly recommended.

Orlok The Vampire on Soap Box
Last Friday, April 9, 2010 on Soap Box Keith Carter, director of the 3D epic Orlok, The Vampire, spoke with Joe LaRocca and Joe Viglione at Wincam.org. Viewers/listeners found out how German Actor Max Schreck's Nosferatu from 1922 holds up in the new millennium! The DVD from Music Video Distributors comes with 3D glasses! Also on Soap Box was London author Meegan Jones (calling in from the U.K.!) Her Sustainable Event Guide www.sustainableeventguide.com is all about her work on developing sustainable management solutions for live events. The press release says "Apart from producing practical solutions to sustainability challenges, working with industry peers she has researched and developed benchmarking and systems for assessing the impact of events. She uses her experience in marketing and event management across the retail, music and media industries to create scenarios which engage and activate the audience, performers, crew and the supply
chain.
On Previous Soap Boxes:
Friday's Soap Box, April 2, 2010, Los Angeles actress Lisa Cavanuagh phoned in (she's in Boston now) to talk about her famous friends in the bands Porno for Pyros, Jane's Addiction, Ratt, and her life with Christian Brando. Fil Ramil called in from The Regent Theater to discuss the Steely Dan tribute featuring Jon Herington, Lead Guitarist and Music Director for STEELY DAN...Spanky McFarlane from Spanky & Our Gang interrupted her card game to talk about the Tommy James & The Shondells book and the Leonard Maltin book that Soap Box turned her on to (Yes, you can watch the show worldwide on http://www.wincam.org...so though Spanky is in California, she can watch it online!)...and Matt Turk turktunes.com phoned in from Los Angeles to give us an update on his music. He should be in the Wincam studios when he returns from his West Coast tour.
The Los Angeles based Robert Hofler is a senior editor at Variety who also authored The Man Who Invented Rock Hudson and Variety's "The Movie that Changed My Life," appeared on the Wincam.org Friday night Soap Box on March 26th. Hofler was previously an editor at Buzz, Life, and Us magazines. Hofler will discuss his book about the notorious Allan Carr who was called "Hollywood's premier party-thrower during the 1970s.
The book gives great insight into the behind-the-scenes life of the man who worked closely with Mama Cass Elliot, Olivia Newton-John, Ann Margaret and who promoted the film TOMMY. Probably best known as producer of the blockbuster Grease, Carr's life of excess is chronicled in great detail by Hofler. His advice to the stars and A-list guests like Elton John, Mick Jagger, Alice Cooper and others makes for an intriguing tale of glamour that swings up from the underworld.
Film Critic Leonard Maltin Appeared on Soap Box 3/19/10
Along with Lillian Roxon's 1969 epic, the Rock Encyclopedia, another book from that era had a dramatic influence on this writer, and that was Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide. Where Roxon gave snapshot music reviews in a concise format (a concept that AllMusic.com capitalized on via publishing information on the internet), Maltin did something similar for movies, an easy-to-read "encyclopedia" of sorts, that continues to this day. The 2010 edition (published in August of 2009) has 1664 pages, which says something about the endurance - and popularity - of Maltin's idea.
On February 9, 2010 Harper Studio publishers released Leonard Maltin's 151 Best Movies You've Never Seen, a paperback book which explores "an assortment of under appreciated screen gems."
The publisher's press release notes that the critic, who has appeard on the tv show "Entertainment Tonight" since 1982, is also a teacher at the USC School of Cinematic Arts and introduces movies on DirectTV. In this effort he focuses on films that slipped through the cracks over the past 20 years or so, 2005's Mrs. Palfrey At The Claremont, the 2006 epic I Served The King Of England and Meryl Streep's Marvin's Room among the titles.
Wincam Production Coordinator Joe LaRocca (and owner of LaRocca Films.com) interviewed Maltin with this writer on Friday, March 12 at 7 PM to 7:30 PM. There was also be a special program for Winchester residents following the interview, SoapBox being a forum that has a variety of different guests and ideas. Tune in Fridays from 7 PM - 9 PM as you never know what surprises will show up on your video (and audio).

OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS
Max Schreck is back with his finest fang-to-flesh classic! Orlok, the Vampire in 3D is a newly restored version of Nosferatu. This never-before-seen print is an eerie and disturbing adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Shortly after its 1922 premiere, Murnau's masterpiece became the subject of a bitter lawsuit. As a result, all known copies of this bloodsucking classic were destroyed. Or so it was believed....
Eighty-seven years later, Quality Cheese Productions unleashes this unnerving stereoscopic nightmare. Prepare for a filmic feeding frenzy of fright!
