Hopelessly Devoted to You

(1/1)

JimH:
Here's the kind of thing I've been stumbling across lately, using the new Performer MC....

Listening to: 'Devoted To You' from 'Boys In The Trees' by 'Carly Simon' on Performer Media Center

It wasn't the one I remembered.  So I found this:

Listening to: 'Devoted To You' from 'The Everly Brothers' Best' by 'The Everly Brothers' on Performer Media Center

and this:

Listening to: 'Hopelessly Devoted To You' from 'Back To Basics: The Essential Collection 1971-1992' by 'Olivia Newton-John' on Performer Media Center

But the strangest moment was when I read this about Olivia Newton-John:

"Although she was born in Cambridge, England, Newton-John was raised in Melbourne, Australia, where her father was the headmaster of Ormond College (her grandfather Max Born won the Nobel Prize for physics)."

Max Born was pretty good with quantum mechanics.

I thought This Was Interesting.

--- Quote ---Born was a Lutheran, he was classified as a "Jew" by the Nazi racial laws due to his ancestry, and was thus stripped of his professorship.

Similar discovery some time ago about Hedy Lamarr; who wasn't just a pretty face.  She received U.S. patent number 2,292,387 as co-inventor of the earliest known form of frequency hopping, today widely used in cell phones and other networking communications.
