A familiar intersection, Sunset Bl. at Highland Ave. looking east....undated but I found a reference to the Datsun "How's this for openers?" campaign in the spring of '72, and I believe that's a yellow Ford Pinto facing us, the Pinto debuted in Sept. '71.....so we are in that time frame....
Now, as to this....
At first glance I thought "Druscilla" was possibly a forerunner to Angelyne, someone who was promoted for the sake of being promoted....or maybe she fronted a band called Lakewood Pipe (recall these were the days of The 1910 Fruitgum Co., Pacific Gas & Electric, Chicago Transit Authority etc)....wrong and wrong, turns out there was a Lakewood Pipe....
Karen and Richard Carpenter released the single "Sing" in Jan. '73 ("Sing, sing a song, sing out loud, sing out strong", that record)....the tune peaked at Billboard #3.....on the flip side was a song about a rock groupie called "Druscilla Penny" (the tune initially appeared on a Carpenters album released in '71)....
The Carpenters recorded in the studios located on the lot of their label, A&M Records, as often noted in the thread A&M was housed in the former Chaplin studios property at Sunset/La Brea.....so just a few blocks west of Sunset/Highland....
....to me that's too much of a coincidence, I have to think Richard Carpenter and/or his co-composer John Bettis copped the "Druscilla" name from the subject billboard.
