[sansradio]

Well, this made my jaw drop:

Musicians and drugs? Not exactly jaw-dropping. Except for: 1) Guam, 2) The concert's going on anyway, 3) Yvonne Elliman still has a following? :) "If I can't have meth, l still have refer baby. If I can't have meth, o-o-ohhh!"

LOL! Touché. She's admitted her use in the past; I guess I thought she'd have been done with all that at this stage in her life.

I wonder. Did she smuggle the meth in her mole? [[Forgive me - I mean no harm - I'm simply cheeky!)

PNH, you're a mess. And I mean that affectionately.😁

A compliment, I'm sure! Now if I recall correctly, Elliman racked quite a nice pair [[though one was bigger than the other). 'I Don't Know How To Love Him' [[as if ...) and 'If I Can't ...'.

Wow....I thought she'd be a little old for that nonsense. Her grandkids must be proud!

Right?!? I'm in my 60s and prune juice is enough of a high for me. WTH needs meth?

Don't forget "Love Me," also written by the Gibbs.

That one I don't know. But I did see on Kiki-pedia Elliman had a hit of sorts with a cover of 'Hello Stranger'. At least she'll have a good song to introduce herself to her fellow inmates.

[sophisticated_soul]

She also did very good covers of "Sally, Go 'Round the Roses" and "Hello Stranger".

I loved her music. I didn't know she was still singing.

Sorry to hear that...Very sad...That said...At least she wasn't smuggling nukes into Guam for Kim Jong-un...On a more serious note...Meth seems to be the addictive drug of choice amongst native Hawaiians. I had friends who worked over there and informed me of that. I recall seeing a guy who had been one of the most legendary surfers in all of Hawaii, Montgomery Kaluhiokalani succumb to drug use and in just a few short years, looked like a different person...Especially bad problem in the poorer sections on the island of Ohahu

She also had a hit in USA with Love Pains. I hope she can restart her recovery. Even more dangerous at her age.

Busted for smuggling drugs? Oh wow. Actually I only know Yvonne for "If I Can't Have You" so this in a roundabout way has reminded me to check out some of her other stuff, lol ;)

[waynesville]

her cover of Hello Stranger was, IMO, the closest anyone got to the Barbara Lewis original

[sansradio]

Bump: Okay, PNH, this update's for you [[:p):

Oh you're mean! :D

She must have been high because she's smiling, almost laughing. I guess it's because she's a felon now. Actually, it's not funny because meth is some baaaad stuff!

[soulster]

her cover of Hello Stranger was, IMO, the closest anyone got to the Barbara Lewis original I agree. My favorite song is her 1976 top 10 hit single "Love Me".
