Jerrie Thill has been fronting her own all-girl band for 60 years. She is a super boomer. She is still pounding the skins, and her latest music video just hit YouTube. The video was the idea of her boomer buddy, the hit songwriter, artist and uber-collaborator Allee Willis, who also co-wrote The Color Purple for Broadway.
 Willis is a GRAMMY®-winning and Emmy- and Tony- nominated composer whose hit songs – including Earth, Wind & Fire’s “September” and “Boogie Wonderland,” The Pointer Sisters’ “Neutron Dance,” Pet Shop Boys with Dusty Springfield's "What Have I Done To Deserve This,” and The Rembrandts’ “I’ll Be There For You (Theme From Friends)” – have sold over 50 million records.
