I hate to say this, but if she hadn't been married to MES, or was actually British, it might have done better.

I kind of poo-poohed it at the time because I was into soul and aggro rock, which this is not. But this is quite lovely.

The b-side to Jose's "Chico" is "Hard Times en el Barrio." It's really good.

Jeff:

I will now jump backward in the show's timeline, because I keep thinking about the Chico and the Man theme.

First... I don't think I realized at the time that it was sung by Sammy Davis, Jr.

Second... I'd forgotten how thoroughly that theme laid out the show's premise. All I remembered the song being was: "bla bla bla... Chico and the Man! bla bla bla... Chico and the Man!"

It's as if the writer's summary from the network pitch meeting got handed off to a songwriter with the instruction, "Set this to music."

And... Oh, Freddy Prinze. That's still sad.
