Was Larry King Frian?

[madtitan125]

The speculation about Don Knotts being Frian was pretty interesting.

However, I do remember the notion of Frian actually being portrayed by Larry King being thrown about here in the past.

Also, isn't Larry King also on the back cover of Faul's Driving Rain CD? The CD that shows a close up of Faul's prosthetic ear and many other clues?

Yeh i seem to remember the driving rain larry, he's wearing glasses, head resting on his hand and does he have a ciggy or pen or something in his hand?

That's interesting; however, if Frian was killed or committed suicide (assisted?) how can he be featured on Driving Rain many years later? Therefore, Larry King cannot be Frian.

Also Larry King is not the one who traveled with the Beatles at the beginning if that is what you are implying.

Frian "killed off" but role-player lives on?

[Perplexed]

Larry King's voice, Frian's voice, and Don Knott's voice. I have heard all three in a conversational, speaking voice on microphone. All speaking in neutral, "front" resonance, and relaxed, all with open, unmuted throat production.

All three different, and completely incompatible. Larry King's voice, and Larry King was on radio in North Carolina in the late 70's, I used to listen to a local feed of him every night. His voice--always that husky, deep, groveling bass that it is today. And a regional accent.

Don Knott's--a whiney, squirrely tenor with little resonance at the relaxed end of his vocals range. Vocal cords which freely went into hyper-adduction
to create his infamous, strident, high pitched whine. He could have belted with the altos.

Frian, a kind of soft, underexcersized vocal box with a short, but pleasant speaking range, and a lilting British accent.

After trying for years to beat different sounds out of limited vocalists (and some rather virtuous) that I have known. one learns to catalog and file away a person's "sound" so that when you start to make an arrangement you know what that person can or can't achieve. It can be very inspiring, or very irksome. Notwithstanding the rare gifts of people like Mel Blanc who could manufacture an astounding array of "vocal charactors", the key word is "manufacture."

Persons speaking in a relaxed. natural voice, an unconstricted throat and no undo "nasaling", and know funny accents or mouth deforming, display their
"fingerprint" sound for the listener to learn.

I discount the "put-on" voices in this.

I don't want to get didactic and argumentative, only put forth my opinion that it's three men, three voices, three faces.

All good things come in"three's". Well, maybe not, but it's a cute phrase.

I downloaded "yesterdaytodaypt1b" from JoJo.

In the first minute of the section (it's in four parts) Brian-Frian, in an press interview, does a rebuttal/defense on behalf of John's statements.

From observation of his features, I think he is Frian. I know that doesn't square up with the accepted or known timetable. It's a film of a conference that occured too early for Frian, mid '66 I think, or earlier, but it's seems like Frian to me.

A film produced after the fact, I guess. Is that a possibility, BP?

Anyway, you can hear the voice of one or the other there. It doesn't look dubbed; the speech is not that short---and made all in one take. I guess a dub in is possible, but better to make the face agree with Frian, which, for me, it does.

I have the same interview on a DVD.
It was take on the first days of August 1966.
Even if doctored it's about Brian.

A book I read a month or two ago (sorry i can't remember which one, but it didn't give any more details than the following) said that "Brian Epstein was interviewed on British TV in Dec of 1966". No, I haven't been able to find it, sorry to say..But that would be quite a find, no?

Yes that would be quite a find ... like ALL your documentation posted here...

We have performed a comparison between the irises of Don Knotts and Frian and.... coming soon...

[abbey]

Why a comparison between Don Knotts and Frian irises? They are not the same person at all.

[andrewexelor]

why not?
