I'm no Raspberries expert, but I did work as a sound editor on a film called
"Let It Be Me," on which Jimmy Ienner was music consultant. This film was
written and directed by Eleanor Bergstein who wrote "Dirty Dancing," which
Ienner had also worked on. Clearly, Ienner resurrected Carmen's career by
getting Carmen's musin in "Dirty Dancing."
As far as that other question about putting your one hit wonder into a
commercial, I personally would do it in a minute. It's only rock and roll...
