“Airport” Love Theme #31 5/16/1970

Vincent Bell was a session guitarist (he played the intro on “The Sounds Of Silence”) who helped bring unique electronic sounds onto records, like the watery guitar on this Top 5 easy listening single. The movie this was from spawned several sequels, and also one of the funniest parodies ever. “Airport” was a 1970 big-budget disaster flick with an all-star cast, and generally got bad reviews because it really was very overblown. “Airplane!” took the premise wayyyyy out into left field. Surely you can’t be serious...
