My Teen Idols Page
This page is devoted to all of the
teen idols from the 70's who caught my fancy..
If the internet had been around in those days, this page is
probably what my Sexy Men site may have looked like. It's a work
in progress - it's pretty to hard to find information or pictures
of some of these guys who seem to have vanished off the face of
the earth. (See "Help" section at bottom of page)
It was a different story "way back when" - the 70's,
when you couldn't open a magazine or turn on the tv or radio
without seeing or hearing these charming individuals. Pin-ups of
these gentlemen were my bedroom wallpaper when I was a teen. Ah,
Nostalgia! :-)
So sit back and take a trip down memory lane with me - back to
the groovy days of Farrah
Fawcett hairdos, bell bottom pants and bubblegum music on 8 track
tapes!

Peter
Tork and Davy Jones of The Monkees
Peter's Birthdate: February 13, 1942 (Aquarius)
Davy's Birthdate: December 30, 1945 (Capricorn)
My first taste of fan obsession came early in my life. It was the
mid-sixties, and I was still in elementary school, but I never
missed Monday evening's episode of The Monkees. I liked
Peter first, but fickle child that I was, later decided I liked
Davy more.

Bobby Sherman
Birthdate: July 22, 1943 (Cancer on the cusp of Leo)
Another of my first teen idols, just before starting junior high
- back around 1969 or 1970 - I would watch him on Here Come
The Brides and buy every one of his '45s (remember those?).

David Cassidy
Birthdate: April 12, 1950 (Aries)
Most women in my age group have fond memories of being glued to
the tv set everytime The Partridge Family was on - and
darling David was the reason!

You

Merrill Osmond
Birthdate: April 30, 1953 (Taurus)
Most of my friends (along with my sister and my cousin) loved
Donny Osmond, but I had to be different. Merrill was my favorite
Osmond brother.

Mark Lindsay
(from Paul Revere & The Raiders)
Birthdate: March 9, 1942 (Pisces)
I saw this band perform at Disneyland in June of 72, and spent
most of that summer being obsessed with Mark. Until....

Rick
Springfield
Birthdate: August 23, 1949 (Leo/Virgo cusp)
Late summer of 72, I discovered Rick Springfield, and Mark
Lindsay became Mark Who? Most people discovered Rick in the early
80's, when "Jesse's Girl" hit the charts and he was
"Dr. Noah Drake" on General Hospital. But for
me, it was 1972, and Rick was singing "Speak To The
Sky". Not content with just a '45, I went out and bought his
album, and snatched up every copy of "16" and
"Tiger Beat" magazine that had his picture in it. I had
a poster of him on my bedroom wall over my bed (see center pic
above) for at least a year. I was a member of his fan club, and I
even watched his Saturday morning cartoon show Mission Magic!
Rick and I share the same birthday (although he is several years
my senior).

Peter Doyle
and Marty Kristian of The New Seekers
Peter's Birthdate: July 28, 1949 (Leo)
Marty's Birthdate: May 27, 1947 (Gemini)
Early in my teens I had a collection of New Seekers albums and
watched all of their TV appearances. I loved their sweet music
and thought Peter and Marty were hot. I recently found out that
Peter died of cancer on Oct 13, 2001.

Andy and David
Williams
Birthdate: Feb. 22, 1959 (Pisces)
Nephews of Andy Williams. I thought they were cute, and I pretty
much wore out my record of their song "Fly, Pretty
Baby".
Fly
Pretty Baby
Michael Brandon
Birthdate: April 20, 1945 (Taurus)
Not a typical teeny-bopper idol, but when I was about 15 or 16, I
used to watch every tv show and tv movie he was in, and I thought
he was a "total fox"! I wrote a fan letter to him when
I was 15 and in return received an autographed 8 x 10 picture of
him.

David Haskell
and Victor Garber from Godspell
David's birthdate: June 4, 1948 (Gemini)
Victor's birthdate: March 16, 1949 (Pisces)
Ah, the men of Godspell! I fell in love with this musical the
first time I saw it. I had an enormous crush on David, who played
John The Baptist/Judas, and a slightly smaller crush on Victor,
who played Jesus. David went on to roles on the soaps Santa
Barbara and Generations, and several small roles in movies and tv
shows. Victor went on to huge Broadway success, and is now best
known as Jack Bristow on the show Alias.
Sadly, David passed away from brain cancer on August 30, 2000.
:-( He is missed!

Robert Redford
Birthdate: August 18, 1937 (Leo)
Spring of '74, near the end of my sophomore year in high school,
I had a crush on Robert Redford. I must have seen "The Way
We Were" at least 20 times at the theater when it first came
out, and it's still one of my favorite movies.

Bo Donaldson
Birthdate: June 13, 1950 (Gemini)
Remember Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods? Billy, Don't Be A
Hero?? Cutie-pie Bo was my major heartthrob of the 70's. Everyone
I knew liked Mike Gibbons, but Bo was my favorite Heywood. I'll
never forget seeing them at Knott's Berry Farm a couple of weeks
after my 16th birthday. I was thrilled when Bo sang lead vocals
on "You're Sixteen"!

Bill Hudson of
The Hudson Brothers
Birthdate: October 17, 1949 (Libra)
Most girls liked the youngest brother Brett, but when I watched
The Hudson Bros. show, it was for oldest brother Bill. I joined
very few fan clubs as a teen - The Hudson Bros. fan club was one
of those few.

Peter Frampton
Birthdate: April 22, 1950 (Taurus)
A 70's fan page wouldn't be complete without Mr. "Show Me
The Way". In my senior year, I missed performing in the
Christmas concert with my high school choir because it was the
same night as the Peter Frampton concert at the L.A. Forum, which
I just couldn't miss!.
Baby I Love
Your Way
If anyone has pictures (current or
otherwise), info, trivia, or whatever about any of these guys,
please email me!....teenidolsofthe70s@yahoo.com
Also....if anyone has information or pictures of a band called
"London Bridge", please let me know. I saw them at
Magic Mountain in 1973. The lead singer's name was Jeff, but I
don't remember anything else about them.
