The Heights is an American musical drama series that aired Thursday at 9:00 pm on Fox from August 27 to November 26, 1992.

Synopsis

The Heights centered on a fictional band (also called the Heights) made up of mostly working-class young adults. Episodes regularly featured one of their songs.

The eventual theme song for the show, "How Do You Talk to an Angel" (sung by cast member Jamie Walters), went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and was the first song from a television show to top the Hot 100 since 1985, as well as the first song by a fictional band to top the Hot 100 since 1969. The Heights premiered on August 27, 1992, to low ratings, and never gained a substantial audience. Fox canceled the series less than a week after the theme song fell from the number one spot.[1]

Cast

  • Ray Aranha as Mr. Mike Lee, Stan's father
  • Alex Désert as Stan Lee, bass player
  • Ken Garito as Arthur "Dizzy" Mazelli, drummer
  • Cheryl Pollak as Rita MacDougal, sax player
  • Donnelly Rhodes as Harry Abramowitz, Jodie's father
  • Charlotte Ross as Hope Linden, guitarist
  • Shawn David Thompson as J.T. Banks, lead singer
  • Zachary Throne as Lenny Wieckowski, keyboardist
  • Tasia Valenza as Jodie Abramowitz, Dizzy's girlfriend
  • Jamie Walters as Alex O'Brien, singer-songwriter

On the soundtrack album, session musicians played most of the backing tracks, although the cast sang their own vocals. On the single "How Do You Talk To An Angel", the instrumentation was entirely performed by session musicians, while the vocals were entirely performed by all seven "Heights" members (with Jamie Walters on lead). However, some of the actors were actually also musicians, and on a few album tracks, Jamie Walters played guitar, Zachary Throne guitars, keyboards and bass, Cheryl Pollak saxophone and Ken Garito drums, percussion and guitar.

Ancient and modern arms

Ancient and modern are terms used in heraldry to differentiate two different coats of arms used at different periods by a family or other bearer. Reasons for changing arms have been numerous, the most famous being the 1376 change in the French royal arms by Charles V of France to show three fleurs-de-lis instead of semee de lis, possibly to symbolize the Holy Trinity. The reasons for other changes were more prosaic, for example where a court of chivalry ordered a change or differencing where ...
