DizRotus Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Several articles and an NPR segment prompted me to revisit this album released 50 years ago. Rolling Stone Magazine holds this album in such high regard, it deserves a fresh listen. I learned that the background party sounds at the opening of the title track include then active Detroit Lions players, Lem Barney and Mel Farr. Had I known this when I coached Mel Farr’s sons in junior high football, I would have asked him to autograph an album. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeper Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Interesting story, did Mel's son have a career in football like his pop's ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 He had two sons. Mel Farr Jr. and Mike Farr. Each had modest NFL careers, Mike’s was longer than Mel Jr.’s. Uncle Miller Farr had a good NFL career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
