Part two of a look at some backing vocals on Stranger Things Have Happened.

“This is an acoustic version, my arrangement of a song that was the B-side of The Monkees' first single, called 'Giant Step,' written by Carole King, and in the background vocals are Mackenzie Philipps and Owen Elliot, Cass’ daughter.” - Peter Tork, GOLD 104.5, 1999 “My first solo album [Stranger Things Have Happened], I used Cass’ daughter, Owen, and John Phillips’ daughter, Mackenzie, as background singers on a song [‘Giant Step‘], and you can hear it, it sounds like the Mamas and the Papas back there. It’s fabulous.” - Peter Tork, Rolling Stone, 2007, published February 2019 ”[Peter] was always so lovely and kind to me.” - Owen Elliot, comment on an Instagram post by Nurit Wilde, 2021

who remembers this show?

Molly Phillips- Used to be Young (So Weird)

This song is just too perfect for Molly. I really wish we could have delved more into her tumultuous teenage years and that Disney hadn’t scrapped alcoholism episode Chrysalis. Such a deep character with a complex background and they just don’t make tv moms like this anymore.

The original series of One Day At A Time debuted on CBS in 1975, and starred Bonnie Franklin as a single mother raising two teen daughters, with their building superintendent Schneider (Pat Harrington Jr.) also playing a major role. The sitcom was hugely popular in its day and ran for nine seasons��in total.

------------------

Divorced mother Ann Romano moves to Indianapolis with her daughters, rebellious Julie (Mackenzie Phillips) and wisecracking Barbara (Valerie Bertinelli), where she struggles to raise the teens on her own. Ann tries to maintain a balance between being a career woman and caring for the girls, who she wants to be able to offer the independence she never had as a young woman. Schneider, the building's quirky superintendent, is a frequent visitor to the Romanos' apartment, where he offers the family his usually-unwanted advice on various topics. As the series progresses and Julie and Barbara get older, they head off into the workforce and start their own marriages, and Ann continues to mend her relationship with ex-husband Ed.

"All Summer Long" is a song by American band The Beach Boys. Written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love for their 1964 album All Summer Long, it was not released as a single in the US but the album climbed to #4 on the Billboard 200 record chart ranking.

The song is featured in the film American Graffiti (1973) although the movie is set in the summer of 1962, two years before the song's release. The track was included in the film to be a metaphor for the end of the time period that the movie celebrates.

A look at some backing vocals on Stranger Things Have Happened... “It’s Mike and Micky you’ll hear [on backing vocals on ‘Milkshake’]. Thanks, guys, it made my day.” - Peter Tork, Stranger Things Have Happened liner notes (x) "Why didn’t Davy sing on this recording?" Peter: "We actually wanted him to, and we had him here in the studio, but he’d brought along Anita and his daughters, Sarah, Jessie, and Annabelle, and by the time we got done talking over all the family stuff, it was time for them to go, and we never got Davy back in the studio. Incidentally, Jessie played us a piece of her own composition that was seriously good work. James and I were knocked out by it. Look for great things from her. And she’s only twelve." - Beachwood Confidential newsletter, 1995 “Davy was just such a personable, funny guy, and very available, you know. I remember he came to the studio and just cracked us up. And Peter and I realized, we didn’t get him to sing! It was a funny hour.” - James Lee Stanley, The Monkees Pad Show "My first solo album [Stranger Things Have Happened], I used Cass’ daughter, Owen, and John Phillips’ daughter, Mackenzie, as background singers on a song ['Giant Step‘], and you can hear it, it sounds like the Mamas and the Papas back there. It’s fabulous.” - Peter Tork, Rolling Stone, 2007, published February 2019 "[Peter] was always so lovely and kind to me.” - Owen Elliot, comment on a post by Nurit Wilde in 2021 (x)
