RIP Soupy Sales

[Pam]

There is another Soupy Sales connection to Detroit that many of you may not be aware of. His sons, Hunt and Tony Sales, were the rhythm section for Iggy Pop on the Lust For Life album and provided the infectious beat for the title song. They later backed David Bowie as part of the Tin Machine. Here's a taste of them with Iggy

I think a lot of us did know that. Here is a clip of them with Iggy on the Dinah Shore show. Iggy introduces them around the 3 minute mark.

From newsfromme.com. A pie has been placed on Soupy's Walk Of Fame Star.

The Sales brothers also backed Bob Welch in the hard rock power trio Paris.

Soupy would have been extremely proud of his two boys, had they followed in his footsteps and threw a few pies in the faces of Iggy and David Bowie. Back in the day, I can see Mr. Bowie billing himself as "The Thin Pied Duke". Iggy would have appreciated if the pie contained a rock or two.

We went to see Soupy at a club in Allen Park on Southfield Rd. in the 70's and laughed so hard.
Does anyone know what the club was called?

[Downriviera]

It was probably at The Camelot.

Pam, Thanks for the video. I'd seen other video from Dinah's show with Iggy and Bowie but not this one with the band intro. I didn't know the Sales Bros. were in Paris, Robert Welsh's rock group. Learning is educational.

I was always there for lunch with Soupy. R.I.P.

I had a deprived childhood. Our television only received channels 2 and 4, for several years. Had to go to a friend's home to see Soupy!
Yes, young Forum Members, even the neighbors only received four channels then...

As well as all the fun he gave us he was a great supporter of Jazz. He was very hip, I just love the guy.

Soupy always loved and supported the music. I saw him several times at clubs in NYC during my time there. The last time at a Clark Terry show a couple of years ago at the Village Vanguard.

Here he is introducing the only known filmed performance of Clifford Brown:

Silvercup, try and see,
How it gives you energy.
Made with milk, eat it up.
Better bread by Silvercup!

C-O-W spells a cow.
A cow's the one who eats up grass,
And that's how milk gets in your glass.
C-O-W spells a cow.

Through the teeth
And over the gums,
Look out, stomach,
Here it comes!

Soupy Sez: Be true to your teeth and they'll never be false to you.

So long, Soupy.

Thank you for this great piece of history.

Yep...walked the 4 blocks home from Carleton elementary to sit in front of the TV and eat lunch with Soupy. It was always either a Swanson's Turkey Pot Pie, Swanson's Turkey TV Dinner, or tuna or bologna sandwich and tomato soup. I put the sandwich crusts in the soup like crackers. When I got back to school after lunch, many times the talk was "did u see Soupy today??" RIP
