Ads that made you sit up and want to do something...

[Christiern]

I remember spotting this ad in the July 8, 1965 New York Times and thinking, Damn! Discotheque Sybil is at the Gate! How did Art manage that?

...and who are these other guys?

My first thought when you said Discotheque Sybil was Sybil Burton!

Talk about celebrity hype! I have never had any interest in the love lives of celebrities, but the headlines were so omnipresent that I remember that after Richard left her she took up with a guy named Jordan Christopher who was the leader of a discotheque band called The Wild Ones. Never heard the band on the radio. They never had a hit anywhere to my knowledge. But the whole story was in the papers often enough for me to remember it over forty years later.
