Roy Haynes’s nickname, Snap Crackle, was supposedly an onomatopoeic approximation of his snare drum sound. In 2018, the drummer performed classic Judas Priest songs live with a new band called Les Binks’ Priesthood. Binks was still going strong in his late 60s. He brought a complicated, jazz-tinged style to the band and starred on their studio albums Stained Class (co-writing the song “Beyond The Realms Of Death”) and Killing Machine, as well as a live album from Japan, Unleashed In The East. Northern Ireland-born drummer Les Binks is best known for his time with Judas Priest, after he joined them on their 1977 world tour, following a spell with Eric Burdon.

#JIMMY FALLON IMITATING KENNY ROGERS THROUGH THE YEARS MOVIE#
Christine, what project of yours do you most like to revisit?Ĭhristine: You know the movie that I'm so happy I was a part of it - and now that he's gone, it's really poignant - is The Birdcage. And then I got to do a cozy, sexy duet with Michael Bublé that I wrote, so I really enjoyed that.Ħ. Will you sing on it?" And we did Mariah's song "All I Want for Christmas Is Yo u," and I just love it.
And I wondered if he'd ever wanted to sing for real - I called him and asked him if he'd sing on it, and he said, "Oh, I'm not a real singer." I said, "Well, I think you are. I just hope everybody else will.īut I just recorded a song with Jimmy Fallon on A Holly Dolly Christmas, and I have to honestly say it's one of the biggest treats in my life because I always watch him singing and I think, He's got a really good voice. But in the movie, it's a really full-blown kind of Broadway style. I recorded it on my Christmas album, too, as a bluegrass-country version. I always say my songs are kind of like my kids.but "Christmas on the Square," of course, it's the name of the movie, but it's a real special song. What's your favorite song from the movie?ĭolly: I love them all because I wrote them all.
And Dolly and I just got to sit and schmooze and be girlfriends - that was just like eating dessert, you know doesn't get any better than that. But I was always looking and admiring other people. I love being an observer on a film set as much as anything - my character was an outsider anyway because she was so mean. There was Debbie Allen choreographing and these beautifully gifted young people, and you just stand there and watch them rehearse, and you get to watch them do take after take and see how consistent they are and how much energy they put up. Christine: One of the great things about being in a movie musical is it almost always involves young people.
