Lucky Blondo. What a guy. Meet "Lucky" Blondo. Isn't he splendid?Until recently, all I knew
about Lucky was that he was French, and this is what he looked like about 35 years ago. I intuited this from the color of the card. (Just as you can estimate stellar distances by measuring a star's red shift, you can date these
cards by their "yellow shift.") Then I found that Lucky was a singer, of the "teen heart throb" genre. By 1963, he had more than 20 hits (that's what popular songs were called, before the term referred to web
site traffic). He doesn't look old enough to consummate a first name like that, does he? Caption: "Lucky Blondo."Credits: Fontana |
