Name

edit

The page says he was born Thomas James Tune, but his father's last name is Pridemore. Considering the place and time that he was born, an explanation would be in order. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.118.131.30 (talk) 16:32, 16 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Really good catch! According to this book, p. 252([1] ), his last name was "a shortened form of Tunesmith, the original name of his paternal ancestors who emigrated from England brfore the Revolutionary War. On his mother's side he derived from English and Indian (Shawnee) stock... Jim Tune owned the L&H Machine Works...Tune describes his father.." (from "Broadway, the golden years", (2003), Author Robert Emmet Long, Continuum International Publishing Group, ISBN 0826414621.
I think the reference in the article regarding his father's last name [added later] as "Pridemore" is incorrect and if no one else changes it, I will do so later today.JeanColumbia (talk) 16:48, 16 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Mid-60s

edit

In the middle 1960s, I was a great fan of bubble-gum Rock programs like WHERE THE ACTION IS, which, if I remember correctly, heavily featured Paul Revere and the Raiders. One promo was the "prize" of Mark Lindsey's ponytail, cut on TV. (My cat could have provided what they actually cut off him.) The point is, it was This kind of half-hour show where I first saw Tommy Tune, a long, skinny dude who definitely had The Moves...yet there is nothing in this article about this time; and I wonder why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.211.207.9 (talk) 19:08, 8 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
