Tejano overt up Chris Sandoval was born in Laredo, Texas on December 17, 1924; end-to-end puerility he regularly south Korean won amateur vocalizing contests, and as a adolescent earned a unconstipated 15-minute spot to do on local wireless station KPAB. While approaching into court at a local fiesta he caught the attention of Discos Ideal producer Armando Marroquin, world Health Organization offered Sandoval the opportunity to record a demo; his first sides were drudge in October 1955, with the bolero "Erroneousness" issued shortly after. The record, backed by a public presentation of "De Aquel Amor," became a major local shoot, and his calling was off and running.


In the days to come Sandoval became a hugely popular interpretive program of Tejano and Mexican songs, with a vast repertoire ranging from rancheras to boleros; he besides recorded with conjuntos including Paulino Bernal, Wally Armendaris, Rodolfo y Lalo as well as orchestras like Mike Ornelas, Felipe Perez, Beto Villa and Juan Colorado. Sandoval finally coupled Colorado's orchestra full-time, and piece fronting the group recorded "Porque Eres Tan Mala," one of his biggest hits. After Colorado's death he continued leading the orchestra, and by and by formed a conjunto with Marroquin and drummer Celedonio Casso.

June 25 Ford e-News

DEARBORN, Mich., June 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

A simpler time when driving was harder

The air conditioner is a windshield that folds down. There are three
foot pedals, none of which are the gas. Instead, the accelerator is the
lever on the side of the steering column where the turning signal would be
- if there were a turning signal. Braking is a precarious art that involves
finding the middle or neutral position between low and high gear so the
right-hand brake pedal can be depressed without stalling the car. Oh, and
the ignition is a crank that requires plenty of elbow grease. The Ford
Model T - a triumph of simplicity in form and function in its day - is
actually quite a challenge to drive for today's motorists. As Ford
celebrates the 100-year anniversary of the Model T this year, hundreds of
enthusiasts are taking their vintage Model T's on the road and remembering
a simpler time when driving was harder. For more information, contact

Ford and Toby Keith keep on truckin'

Relationships between consumer products and celebrity spokespeople tend
to come and go in today's fast-paced marketing world. A few are authentic
and effective enough to stand the test of time. The partnership between
country music star Toby Keith and Ford Trucks began in 2002 and has
flourished through numerous albums, concert tours and music videos. As
Keith kicks off his new tour -- "Biggest and Baddest" -- in Birmingham,
Ala., this week, Ford is the presenting sponsor. And the collaboration
doesn't stop there. The show opens with a theatrical video produced by Ford
that features Keith and F-Series trucks. The integration continues
throughout the concert, with Ford Trucks -- and/or parts of them --
appearing on stage with Keith. Last year, a Super Duty grille formed the
front of a drum riser throughout the entire show. The plan for this year is
top secret, but it will be impossible to miss the new 2009 Ford F-150
during Keith's show. For more information, contact Becky Sanch at

A Hollywood beginning for the Lincoln MKS

A traditional commercial just isn't enough to convey the essence of the
new Lincoln MKS, a luxury flagship sedan debuting this summer. Taking a
significant leap from the traditional 30- and 60-second broadcast
advertising model, Lincoln this week launched a three-minute movie
featuring the all-new 2009 Lincoln MKS. Shot on location in Hollywood
Hills, MadCrazyLove is a three-minute commercial, with accompanying 30- and
15-second spots, that introduces the newest member of the Lincoln family -
the 2009 Lincoln MKS - against the backdrop of a fun, romantic story.
Sultry, soft sounds from the legendary Marvin Gaye, a dark, dusky evening,
the smooth ride and distinct styling of the MKS set the mood for a story
with as many twists and turns as Mulholland Drive. The new spot made its
television debut Tuesday during the Black Entertainment Television Awards
pre-show. Following the show, the movie was posted live online at
http://www.lincoln.com and http://www.lincolnlounge.com . For more information, contact

Students, grab your wrenches

The sight of 50 Ford Focuses parked in front of Ford's World
Headquarters, each with the same undiagnosed problem, would normally be a
cause for concern. This week, it merely meant the stage was set for a
special competition among high schools students. More than 8,000 auto tech
students vied for a spot in this year's finals. Fifty two-person teams
representing high school automotive technology programs from across the
country raced against the clock and each other to diagnose and repair
identically "bugged" 2008 Ford Focuses. The winning duo earned the title of
Best Student Auto Tech Team in the nation, plus scholarships and the
opportunity to work for a week as honorary pit crew members for the
renowned Roush Fenway Racing Team. For more information, contact Marisa

The controversial author made his debut, playing a gynaecologist in Helen Hunt movie Then She Found Me.

Sag Producers Resume Crucial Talks




The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers resumed negotiations with
the Screen Actors Guild on Wednesday following the AMPTP's tentative deal with the
American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. In the end, the producers acceded
to AFTRA's demands that they obtain consent before using a clip of an actor's performance
online. The producers had earlier insisted that the costs of obtaining such permissions
would outweigh any potential revenue from such use. Analysts suggested that in th
e end the producers decided simply to forgo using such clips online -- and the minimal
revenue that they were thought to represent -- rather than prolong the dispute over
them. Nevertheless, it was uncertain whether SAG would accept a similar deal with
the AMPTP, which, in virtually all respects is otherwise a copy of the agreement hashed
out earlier with the Writers Guild of America and the Directors Guild of America.
Currently, the movie industry is already experiencing what many are calling a de
facto strike, with studios unwilling to greenlight any film that could be shut down after
the expiration of the current contract on June 30.

Amy and Pete get back to music

TROUBLED Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty has confirmed that Rehab singer Amy Winehouse has teamed up with his band's guitarist Mick Whitnall to produce a new track.

Doherty confirmed that Winehouse teamed up with Whitnall in the studio while he was in London’s Wormwood Scrubs Prison. He told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: “Mick and Amy have a great relationship. They have been working on material while I was in prison. When I came out I went straight to the recording studio. I just want to get the music going. We’ve been told we will be doing a third album. That will keep me busy and hopefully out of trouble.” The collaboration, first sounded out last year, is tipped to be released as a single and will appear on the next Babyshambles album. Earlier this month, producer Mark Ronson reportedly halted sessions to record the new James Bond theme with Winehouse, 24, saying he was not sure she was ready to work on new music. Doherty was released from jail last week after serving 29 days of a 14-week sentence for drug offences. Babyshambles will play a freedom concert in London tomorrow.
