2007 / A Pete Allman Report - Part Two - Follow the
Money to Las Vegas to Planet
Hollywood. .
. then off to -- Elke Sommer, Troy Cory, YouTube .
. . and the oldies -- but goodies recording stars
of the 60s.
Nobody Disappears. Watching the cyclonic attention
that swirles around Celebrities, it's not hard to
see how closely this week's celebrity-besotted CSN
report, resembles a tabloid media's attention as to
how the top recording
artists and their bubble-gum hits of the 60s, like
the oldies of Frankie Avalon, and Fabian's
are going to
suffer through the assault on their new fame with a
few bad headlines, like, "who said he could
sing?"
BASED ON
PREDICTABLE CALCULATIONS -- LIFE ISN'T ALWAYS
FAIR
That, in fact, is the traditional curve of
celebrity -- for celebrity's sake. First the
tabloid media will turn a sincere storyline about
your talent and where you came from, making you
famous for nothing more -- than being famous. Then
it turns in a fury of righteous anger and devours
you for . . . well . . . "for being famous."
It's perverse but predictable.
Here is where the ritual dismissal
of Frankie, Fabian, and the
show biz success of Troy, Elke and Bruce Willis and
their vintage TV-shows begin to commoditize
themselves. Using the freebies of the Web, it's not
about how, or when their vintage hits will create
new fans, it'll be about how many
months it
will take to lead them into a focused life and back
into the self-absorbed character that is supposed
to occur.
Let's
skip that part.
If millions of people choose to be fascinated by a
celebrity who apparently feels that the best thing
to do with wealth and celebrity is to turn
themselves into a $1 per year Webcasting TVstar,
what can you say? Like the Austrian monarchy of
Sissy and Franz-Josef, swaying to the music of
Amadaus Mozart, it's simply one of life's
essentially harmless mysteries.
What isn't harmless is the way in which so much of
the serious news media backs up its intelligence
without an ulterior motive, and the prudence to
weed out predictabilities of a big disappointment .
. . just to sell advertising or a pet project.

With the
advent of Google, Smart90, LookRadio, and YouTube,
Nobody Disappears. Before Elvis, Sonny and Cher,
Elke Sommer, and the Beatles arrived on the scene,
LookRadio.com pictures Perry Como, Frank Sinatra,
Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, and Dean Martin as
the top U.S. vocalists.
Before the
switch to R&B, that starred Little Richard,
James Brown, Fats, Diana Washington and Brooke
Benton, there were the Frankie Avalon's, Fabians,
Pat Boone and Troy Cory for the record companies to
play around with. MORE
STORY ABOUT SPECIALTY RECORDS AND LITTLE
RICHARD.
With big
disappointsments in the future for most singers,
fans ditched kideo pop for rock 'n' roll, Elvis and
the English music invasion.
It wasn't until Napster
changed the neutrality of the Internet in 1999,
that oldies but goodies became a benchmark for real
sales. It's pretty hard to argue with "follow the
money," says former Specialty / Mercury recording
artist,
Troy Cory. Troy co-author of the book,
Disappointments Are Great, "Follow The
Money."
As the founders of the Internet search engine
business have gotten richer worldwide in this
decade, so have many recording artists that have to
cater to them -- including most of the recording
stars of the 50s, 60s, 70s, and the singer that had
it, but . . . - - MORE

As more music becomes available digitally,
semi-obscure artists are finding they have devoted
fans. On Rhapsody, for instance, Top 100 artists
produce only 25% of the songs played, said Tim
Quirk, Rhapsody's vice president for music content
and programming.
In contrast, nearly half of retail store sales are
generated by that elite group. Less popular artists
get playtime too -- 90% of the 195,200 artists on
Rhapsody are played at least once a month.
Some artists would rather let their original work
shine than put out new material.
Fabian Forte, a teen idol at 15 who bought out his
contract at 18, never imagined that his eight
albums, made over 2 1/2 years, would last this
long. But after making 29 movies, he's back on the
road performing, often to what he calls a cult of
younger people who are into music from the
1950s.
"I feel like it never ended," Fabian said of his
music career. "That never ceases to amaze
me."Part
03 / The
Troy Cory Show -- China. The TV
performer/singer/author, Troy Cory brings a
lapidary style in the production of his D-Diaries
China TV show episodes. Each scene was polished,
and engraved into the lens of the camera like a
precious stone. The series was filmed around the
world, mostly in China.
He
uses the analytical mind of an auditor to weed out
the legalities of the crimes enacted against
mankind by the rules of law put together by those
in charge at the
time.
Troy
picked-up his lapidary
processes
during his 11 years of his studies in schools of
higher learning, commencing at Pepperdine
University, majoring in finance, law, and medicine.
The first two, accounting and law, being the
requirements to become a Secret Service
Agent.
So it was
no surprise to learn from his wife, Josie Cory,
publisher/editor of TVI Publishing, and Co-author
of the 4- volume set of the "SMART-DAAF BOYS," that
Troy was what he was -- a tremendous performer with
piercing circumspection. SEE

STORY
"But job
experience will take a singer/stage performer only
so far," says Josie. After a run-in with AFTRA in
the latter 70s at his Vine
Street Video Center in Hollywood, (see the best of
Rod Stewart),
-- he joined the efforts of our government to help
swing open; -- the open door policies with
communist nations. He did it with dancing girls,
pop music, RF gadgets, and tradecraft expertise
that still resonates in the mind's eye of the China
audience, that viewed his television firsts. Who
said that: "Life Isn't Fair." SEE

"Disappointment Diaries, Follow The Money,"
TelePlay webcast programs, aren't just testosterone
ego mania musical tales hauling the viewer through
300, 5 minute TV segments by brutal force of will .

the stars, based on calculated cultural predictions
whose end was to commoditize paper money from
China.
