Bill Medley Born in Los Angeles and raised in Orange County’s Santa Ana, Medley always had a passion for music, but he sort of stumbled upon it as a career after he quit school at age 16. His father led a big band and played saxophone, his mother played piano and sang. Naturally, Medley gravitated to glee club and amateur singing contests during his youth, but it wasn’t until he heard the music of Ray Charles that the idea of making music for a living coalesced. “When I heard Ray Charles, it wasn’t so much that I wanted do that,” he reflects. “It was that I needed to do that.” Medley taught himself to play piano, which led to writing songs, and he figured songwriting—rather than performing—would be his key to a career in music. But when he peddled his songs to other singers and musicians, they invariably declined to do them. “They would hear me sing, and say, ‘What about you?’ That was basically why I became a singer.” Medley formed a local group called The Paramours, and was introduced to Hatfield, who led The Variations. But one night they put their voices together, and the result was magic. “We just started singin’ these rhythm & blues duets, and it was just absolutely instant,” Medley recalls. “Never had to rehearse it. He knew ‘em, I knew ‘em—‘I’ll sing this note, you sing on top,’ and that was it. The instant we sang together, it was like one voice.” Their partnership lasted four decades, though Medley explored his solo options apart from the duo on occasion. He went on his own in the late-‘60s for six years. In 1976, following the death of his wife, he pulled back from the music business to raise his son, eventually doing another solo stint in the early-‘80s. Plus, he demonstrated his versatility by joining forces with another duet partner, Jennifer Warnes, on the chart-topping song from “Dirty Dancing,” “(I’ve Had) The Time Of My Life,” which came up a winner at the Grammys, the Oscars and the Golden Globes.  As Medley segues into a new portion of his career, he’s also performed duets publicly on occasion with his daughter, McKenna, who has her own show in Las Vegas.  But he has no plans to find another permanent singing partner. Instead, Medley expects to strike out one more time on his own, with the stage serving as a safety net from which he’s still able to make a connection—with the fans who continue to adore both The Righteous Brothers and Medley’s powerful bass, but also with his own passion for music.  Not that his rare gift makes him any different from the people who inhabit the audience.

Don Hill  Saxophonist & singer with The Treniers, who are unquestionably one of the first (if not the first), self-contained REAL ROCK AND ROLL groups, ever. They are also probably the greatest living entertainers in showbiz today. Among some very gifted peers, they stand out as the only pioneering Jump Blues stylists to not only thrive when the rest of the world caught up with this Rock'n'Roll stuff (some ten years after they started it) but also to continue to thrive in the ensuing decades as a successful, and far from sedate, lounge act. The group has survived the ever-changing cycle of disposable pop culture trends thrown their way not in spite of their resistance to change, but because of it. By upholding traditions thought long gone by many, and by keeping it lively, The Treniers' performances are just as vital and hypnotizing today as they were in the era when they helped to create Rock'n'Roll. I'd like to think that they've been having too much fun to fully realize this.

Fielding West Where have I seen that guy?  Fielding West has been seen everywhere from the stage to television. He is an award winning comedy magician who is also an actor, game show host, TV personality, motion picture technical director, writer and ...well, we think you get the point.  Much of Fielding's success is due to his humorous and good natured audience involvement.   He is a seasoned pro who adapts his act to any audience.  Fielding can jump off the big stage in a Vegas show to a smaller corporate audience with out a hitch.  It's no mystery why in a town full of entertainers Fielding West can be seen everywhere!

Frankie Scinta  A musical prodigy, who was given his first instrument — a guitar — at the age of four by his grandfather, Joe Scinta. He eventually added mandolin and banjo, as well as drums and bass to his repertoire. His talent was quickly noticed and he began appearing locally. Before he was a teenager, he’d been seen playing the banjo nationally on Ted Mack’s Original Amateur Hour, The Merv Griffin Show and Jerry Lewis’ MDA telethon.  When he saw the film The Godfather he returned home, sat down at the piano and, without the music in front of him, played the movie’s theme song. Today, it is Frankie’s keyboard artistry that stops the show at every performance.  By the time he was 12, Frankie had also added another person to his act — younger sister Chrissi. A few years later they were joined by their oldest brother Joey and, today, they are Las Vegas headliners.  Frankie Scinta and his wife have a son, Frank Jr., and two daughters — Danielle and Maria. If you see him offstage, you’re likely to see him with his sidekick, Buddy Love, a Maltese given to him by Wayne Newton.

John & Pam Thompson  The Great Tomsoni & Co. tackle the audience with magic hokum-pokum. Tomsoni, who delivers his spoken accents in fake Polish, comes clean with mostly pantomime as tricks work to his surprise. His company is wife Pamela, and both have been presenting one of the funniest magic acts for years. .  Tomsoni does manage to mystify between his quirky mannerisms, producing numerous white doves fluttering from scarves and even out of a clear plastic square. Partner Pamela, meanwhile, supplies him with gadgets as the dumb, putupon, blond, gum-chewing assistant. She's a perfect foil.  He switches from pantomime to standup comedian, mouthing crazy sound effects within funny phone monolog. The "Babushkas from Warsaw" finale has Thomsoni frantically pulling dozens of knotted scarves from a hollow silver tube, and going on and on until he bunches the material together and - presto - out pops a bowling ball...

Keely Smith The mid-'90s lounge music revival has come and gone, the music of Louis Prima has been used to sell khaki pants, but--strangely enough--vocalist and Prima ex-wife Ms. Smith has remained relatively quiet. Until now. With the appropriately titled Swing, Swing, Swing, Keely proves she still has the perfect timing, pitch, and vocals that she had on those classic collaborations with Prima Smith starts with a lively medley of "When You're Smiling" and "The Sheik of Araby," does Prima favorites "Jump, Jive, An' Wail" and "Robin Hood," and includes plenty of unique numbers she can call her own (just check out "Keely's Boogie"). "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah," "Yata Hei," and the album's title track are some highlights--upbeat numbers where the 17-piece Frankie Capp Orchestra provide the jazzy energy of Keely Smith's old bandleader, Billy May. --Jason Verlinde

LouAnne Harrison Fluff LeCoque gave me my first job as a dancer in Hallelujah Hollywood at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas in 1979. I was in rehearsals for Jubilee before the MGM fire, performed in the Lido De Paris at the Stardust, Hello Hollywood Hello in Reno, and returned to the Stardust to dance in my last show, Enter the Night – those were the good old days.  Since then, I have been in special events and promotions for: Cityscape Promotions, Barbizon Modeling and Talent agency, the American Cancer Society, Nevada Ballet Theatre, the Howard R. Hughes College of Engineering at UNLV, and Reno Connections.  Most recently, I was thrilled to have had the opportunity to produce the CAST AND CREW REUNION at the Stardust. It brought 650 people together that celebrated five decades of entertainment that has become legendary, along with the phenomenal growth and the history of the world famous strip.  The Second Annual CAST AND CREW REUNION will include the 2007 Las Vegas Showgirl Art Competition. The Art Competition will bring the visual and performing arts together, to preserve the history of the showgirl and the world famous production shows. I invite you to help recreate the magic of Classic Las Vegas. Let’s keep it alive
