While Dick Clark gained national attention from Philadelphia with
"American Bandstand," Buddy Deane was doing the same thing in Baltimore
as that city's TV disc jockey. He was immortalized as the Corey
Collins character in the John Waters movie, "Hairspray," and is
still remembered as the after school escape for Baltimore teens.
- Buddy Deane and the Committee
("On Strike?") doing "The Madison" on a parking
lot.
- Buddy Deane in a publicity photo,
complete with signature
- Merry Christmas. Thanks to
John Sankonis for this Christmas card from1960, featuring a picture
of Buddy & his Committee, with signatures below of everyone on
the show at that time. The card folded between the picture and
signatures, was addressed on the other side and sent out to fans
of the show. Since John's signature is on the card he must be
in the picture (HINT: Sitting on floor, 3rd from left.). Thanks
to John for this great piece of Baltimore music history.
There's a new book on the life and career of Buddy
Deane... (thanks to John Sankonis
for the info and the link). |
