From EyeEm:
What comes to mind when someone mentions Los Angeles? Hollywood? Glitz and glam? That’s only a small part of this city. There are also many other smaller enclaves and areas that make the city special, which Joel Quizon helps us discover! The LA-based film maker is currently working on a series of short films about people and places in LA (A Different LA and Traces) and thus travels a lot through the city. Hop on board with Joel and see his version of The City of Angels!
Sahlee Quizon “Good Morning Starshine” 7” EP (1971)
Just got this in the mail via eBay. On my quest to find Quizon records.
Sahlee’s sugary pop cover of the Oliver smash hit which was itself a pop version of the feel good song from the musical Hair. Sahlee is legendary actor Dolphy Quizon’s eldest daughter and although “Starshine” made her a one hit wonder, she went on to act in several motion pictures and television shows in the Philippines.
“Joe Cruz & The Cruzettes “The Manila Hotel” (1976)
Philippine show band. Latin tinged. Funky lounge.
