Girlfriends,Muses Girlfriends Partners etc | JANE ASHER [‘Alfie’]
the stunningly beautiful Jane Asher actor and creator
Beautiful Jane Asher photographed during the filming of Alfie in 1965.
Scans come from Italy magazine ABC, August 29th 1965 issue.
From eBay auction listing.
Alfie wasn't released until March 24th, 1966.
I wondered who played the bikers in the film as this guy looked like comic actor Roy Kinnear I thought but in the shot below it could well be the guy on the right who clearly isn’t Roy. Lots of other British bit part actors occurred in it
what CAN they have suggested!!
Remembering Jeff Beck (24 June 1944 – 10 January 2023)
With a headstock that looks like it could slice sushi, the pink Jackson Soloist is a dangerous-looking guitar. And an actual knife is part of its story. Beck used the Jackson when he worked with Tina Turner on the album Private Dancer. He had been in awe of Turner since the 1960s, when he briefly toured with the singer and her husband Ike, but at that time he was too shy to speak to her.At the end of the Private Dancer session in 1984, Beck asked Turner to sign the guitar. She first autographed it in felt pen, but it was clear that it would not last. So instead she produced a knife from her bag and carved her name into the pink finish. She then rubbed green nail polish into the jagged letters to make them visible and permanent.The ‘Tina’, as it became known, can be heard on Beck’s duet with Rod Stewart, ‘People Get Ready’, on the 1985 album Flash, produced by Nile Rodgers. It was Beck’s first reunion with the singer he had introduced to the world in the Jeff Beck Group in 1967, along with a young Ronnie Wood. Beck memorably appears in the video, breezily riding an open boxcar and miming the Jackson solo on a Fender Telecaster.

Forgetting You - James Carr [The Dark End of the Street] a favourite song and album
"Unfortunately, James Carr was his own worst enemy, suffering from bipolar disorder his whole life. Ultimately, its the only refuge we can give ourselves in trying to figure out just why this man wasn’t as equally lauded as Otis Redding. While popular consensus might have slipped from his legacy, he was critically lauded, especially for his 1967 album You Got My Mind Messed Up. Many point to his version of “The Dark End of the Street” as being the definitive version and the best on the album, but my favurite is “Forgetting You” a half midnight oil burner/barnstormer that finds Carr in peak form, putting on a vocal performance that even Otis Redding himself might be hard pressed to match."
Forgetting You - James Carr
The Dark End of the Street- James Carr
Regulars may recall that I collect covers of James Carr’s classic r’n’b’ number Dark End of The Street whose titular album this is and largely thanks to Ry Cooder’s version of the song recorded with Bobby King and Terry Evans when I first heard it (it possesses one of the finest guitar solos I have ever heard him play IMHO) I am of course saddened to hear Carr suffered poor mental health and what we would have then called manic depression especially
