#VanillaFudge. “Keep Me Hanging On.” 1968. Ed Sullivan show. Look at these guys covering The Supremes, dressed in something Julie Andrews whipped together from a pair of curtains. But the flair, the dramatics…the 60s. Live on TV! And #CarmineAppice on drums, woooow 🍄
"I couldn’t find any money for 'Bande à part' (1964). So I wrote to Columbia, Paramount asking could they give me $100,000 to make a picture. They said, “Well, that’s a huge fee for a director.” & I said, “No, that’s not for me, that’s for the whole picture.”
