523.0. "Stephen Bishop" by HGRD01::QA () Thu Oct 21 1993 06:55

    
    what do ya think of Stephen Bishop ?
    
    His "Careless" album which got him famous is reissued on CD.
    
    The 1st track "On and On" is one of the finest mellow song
    ever written and I still love it on and on.

523.1Bishop triviaOSLACT::HENRIKWMaking the most of miseryThu Oct 21 1993 07:0213
    Stephen's latest album was produced (and contained a liner note)
    by Phil Collins. Phil, as you may remember, had a hit with
    SB's Separate Lives.
    
    Stephen Bishop is just one more of all those good singer/songwriters
    there are too many of to really make it big.
    
    The even less known - but great - Leah Kunkel covered some of his songs.
    
    In addition - although that belongs under another topic - he
    appeared briefly in Kentucky Fried Movie, didn't he?

    He also was in "Animal House"...he's the guy playing guitar on the
    steps who gets his guitar smashed.

    >>    What scene is he in in Kentucky Fried Movie ???
    I seem to remember him as an innocent bystander in the
    Catholic Girls section. Have to check when I get home...

     Hey, wasn't he the guy who was hitchhiking and gets picked up by
     the bodacious blond in the VW convertible, then after giving him
     the eyeball for a few minutes, she pulls over, gets out, and starts
     running through the woods taking her clothes off, so he follows her
     doing the same, only to emerge from the woods naked confronted by two
     highway patrolman standing there with shades on and arms folded and
     not smiling one bit?

     Wasn't that him?

523.6As I remember.....KIRKTN::DMILLERHello...it's me.Thu Oct 21 1993 14:178
    
    "Save it for a Rainy Day" was a bigger hit over here than "On and On".
    Both were from the 1st album "Careless" which featured Andrew Gold and
    Phil Collins. Some fine songs on "Careless", more than on the follow up
    "Bish". Bishop also featured on the Phil Collins album "Face Value".

    RE: -2
    
    I thought the guy running thru the woods was one of the Zucker boys...
    KFM is a classic (although the Kung Fu part was a bit long-winded).
    I don't remember Steven Bishop in this movie... I'll have to rent
    this one again (although, without chemical stimulus, it may not be
    quite the same...)
    
    
    Still waiting for that flashback,

523.8It might be youHGRD01::QASun Oct 24 1993 21:569
    
    My another favorite of his is from the soundtrack of Dustin Hoffman's
    movie "Toosie" where he sang the title track "It might be you", a song 
    written by Dave Crusin. This song is tailor-made for Stephen for his
    style and vocal range. Another great classic song !
