Dallas Hill and Brian Pinette are BACK!
"Dallas Hill and Brian Pinette are international phenoms. Their fans are legion ... from the legendary Lillian Gish to Dawn Wells, Mamie Van Doren, as well as traveling overseas to the Queen Mother.
Song-stylist Dallas, regarded in the press as a "Country-singsation" can flip a phrase in a unique way ... displaying nuance, pathos and passion. Brian's words & music are direct from the heart ... proving that laughter and tears co-exist.
His comedic "Do The Dallas" - in a nutshell - is the bio of this international model turned singer turned actress. It is a dance ditty reminiscent of the 'Beach Party' scene of the 1960s. Their duets bring truth and hope. Broadway and NY icon Connie Carnes has lent her vocal support for almost two decades and is brilliant.
This dynamic team have been releasing albums or singles or motion pictures almost yearly since the mid-1970's. Without fail, they have proven that talent and grace are ageless as well as well as inspiring.
They have had some bestsellers along the way. To date, some still get airplay internationally. Their fans are fierce and loyal.
Dallas is also an acclaimed artist with showings at Museums and galleries worldwide. Brian's films which he wrote, produced and directed over the years starring Coleen Gray, Dallas Hill, Kathrin Victor to Patsy Ruth Miller are top-sellers over the internet as are his original music soundtracks to many classic silent films including SHE (1925) with Betty Blythe, Alla Nazimova in SALOME and CAMILLE (1924 & 1925) and Dorothy Dalton & Rudolph Valentino in THE MORAN OF THE LADY LETTY.
They are 'beyond forever' - and that's a long long time."

BETTY BLYTHE is SHE (1925)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE --
SILENT FILM CLASSIC She (1925) "revived" with original score by Brian Pinette, exclusively found on EBAY.
Until recently, SHE, the 1925 film was released and re-released on video as an exclusively silent film. It has been overlooked. NOW, with digital enhancement and creative originality, it is enjoying a resurgence as a top-seller, offered exclusively on EBAY by Brian Pinette.
Brian discovered a print of the film, digitalized it and added his own original music to it.
"It was a blast!" smiles Brian. "I'm in the middle of the score for both ANNA CHRISTIE with Blanche Sweet as well as QUEEN ELIZABETH with Sarah Bernhardt."
Brian also add: "A lot of people 'restore' with tints, however, Lillian Gish told me the originals were hand-tinted, not just dipped in colours. Today, a lot of people simply do a quick digital wash, meaning the entire frame is a weird colour. Like all red, or all blue ... it is absurd. I would rather leave it in the pristine 'silver screen' black and white."
A little about ... SHE (1925) starring Betty Blythe ...
Betty Blythe (1893-1972) was one of the greatest "stars" of the silent screen. After her phenomenal success in the title role of the Biblical epic "The Queen of Sheba" (1921), followed by such lavish productions as "Chu Chin Chow" (1923) and "She" (1925), Betty was one of the most famous and (until she lost $15 million in the Wall Street Crash) wealthiest Hollywood stars in the world. Her subsequent international vaudeville tours and personal appearances broke box-office records, and her social life and circle of personal friends encompassed many of the most glittering personalities of her time. Her incidental achievements was discovering or helping to promote Ronald Colman, Fred Astaire, and Clark Gable. With the arrival of talkies she continued her film career playing supporting roles in Colleen Moore's "The Scarlet Letter" (1934) and Garbo's "Conquest (Marie Walewska)" (1937). Her final appearance was a brief cameo in "My Fair Lady" (1964).
