OMIGawd, the Defranco Family!

[kissoflife.livejournal.com]

I spent a summer crushin' on Tony Defranco there, while my sister crushed on Shaun Cassidy.(not contemporaneous stars, btw- I was re-noticing the D's and his voice, taping some splashy fan-LPs) Eek, the memories!
This is even funnier seeing now the obvious lip-synching and the lesser capacity for closeups(thankfully) in performance filming. Such an innocent age. Whyy aren't bowl haircuts coming back, huh?

Listening to it now, his voice was actually not good at all. My other kid-pop crushes then were little Michael Jackson and little Donnie Osmond, both of whom had much better voices. But the DeFranco's made it feel like any group of siblings could be a hit pop group. I wished I had older brothers and sisters to back me up!

you are NOT in your forties.

(i could never do a meme like this, because it would involve the .5 seconds i was into NKOTB and other teenie music. it was the only thing around that wasn't hair metal, and the babysitter next door had yet to turn me on to goth rock...)

Only by the calendar. :-) Other than that, I'm 30.
