Michael Jackson to Be Honored by Grammys with Lifetime Achievement Award

Hi. I really hope you can ...

Question: Hi. I really hope you can help me. My mother died very suddenly and my dad has gone through letters she wrote. In one letter, dated November 11, 1963, she tells my dad about a guy who appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show and sang a song she called "More." I really hope you can tell me who this was and what the song is so that I might be able to get a copy of it for him. He never heard the song, and now really wants to know what it said. Something about "loving you more" or "love you more." Please help! Thanks.Answer: After a lot of searching and digging, P., I'm pretty sure I've got enough to help you out. When you hear it, I'm sure you'll recognize the easy-listening staple "More," which is popular in its vocal and instrumental versions. Written by Riz Ortolani, Nino Oliviero and Norman Newell, it was nominated for a Best Music (Song) Academy

"He told me, 'I'm doing this movie about Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee,'" the 21-year-old actress remembers. "I was like, 'Sandra Dee from Grease? You're making a remake of Grease?' He said no and then drew me into their story." Despite her lack of firsthand knowledge about yesteryear's teen heartthrobs — and the fact that Dee is mentioned in a Grease song but wasn't actually in the movie — Bosworth was Spacey's first choice for the part. That's largely because, he says, of her "mature face." According to Spacey, her grown-up look helped overcome
