David Naughton

Artist: David Naughton
LP: 7" single
Song: "Makin' It"
[ listen ]

Here's something to help get the weekend started off on the right foot. In the flop 1979 TV series "Makin' It," which was evidently modeled after SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, David Naughton plays Billy Manucci, a disco king at the local dance club by night who works at the Tasty Treats ice cream parlor during the day. When his show got canceled after just 8 episodes, Naughton went on to appear in numerous other TV shows and in lots of movies too, including HOT DOG...THE MOVIE in 1984 and the captivating sci-fi rape-revenge fantasy thriller STEEL AND LACE, released in 1991. Naughton is probably best known, however, for his star turn in the 1981 horror cult classic, AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON.
