Gloria Loring and Carl Anderson served up an extra special helping of Ultra-cheeze with this 1986 soft-rock ballad, "Friends and Lovers". She was a soap star on Days of Our Lives... He was a Broadway veteran who also sang back up on one of the greatest albums of all time, Stevie Wonder's massive 1976 album, Songs In the Key of Life. It was a match made in heaven.
This is an American Bandstand performance. [Re-read sentence]
Too bad the person who uploaded the video didn't include the rest of the interview... I hate it when that happens. When Prince appeared, he mentioned that he could play over 100 instruments. I wonder how many instruments Carl and Gloria play.
The song was recently parodied on an episode of Family Guy. It was a very creepy sequence. Kind of like how you could never listen to "Singin' in the Rain" quite the same way after seeing Clockwork Orange.
Or, "Blowin' in the Wind" after Forrest Gump.
Or "(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay" as sung by Michael Bolton. [NSFW]
