Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with a Bugs Bunny Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1952 Chuck Jones directed, Hasty Hare:
The science professor's note of resignation reads: "SHALOMAR OBSERVATORY I resign! When I begin to see things like this, it's time to take up turkey farming. J. Frisby DIRECTOR." Just as Asronomer, J. Frisby, walks down stairs, to look outside, musical theme, "Turkey In The Straw" plays for 5 to 10 seconds.
On February 10, 1971, Lou Adler's Ode Records released Tapestry, the second solo album of the 28-year-old singer-songwriter Carole King (who was already a veteran of the music industry, having been a successful songwriter in the Brill Building since she was 17.) Tapestry was a groundbreaking album, which helped popularize the singer/songwriter genre. The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like to celebrate this anniversary by asking you to join us in listening to the album, Tapestry now.
It stayed on the American album charts for over six years, selling over 24 million copies worldwide. Until 1976, it was the largest-selling album ever, and until March 29, 1980 when Dark Side of the Moon marked its 303rd week on the Billboard album charts, it had the longest stay on the Billboard Top 200. Tapestry won 1971 Grammys for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Performance.
Demand Euphoria!
