Vic Flick+Les Reed (John Barry Seven) - Twelfth Street Rag mp3
It is 65 years since I was "introduced" to the guitar skills of Vic Flick during his days as a member of the John Barry Seven. The group was, quite simply, a development ground for incredible super-talented individuals. Within just three years Vic would achieve deserved worldwide acclaim for his guitar riff on the 'James Bond Theme'; leader John Barry win a Best Song Oscar for "Born Free", and pianist Les Reed storm the best-sellers with his songwriting hits.
I have always considered myself fortunate in either meeting or interviewing by 'phone music makers for whom I have great respect. Vic was one of these and, for a radio special I was working on, generously contributed his experiences o...

Eloise Laws - To Know Him Is To Love Him
Просмотров 392 месяца назад
Eloise Laws was the fourth of eight children born to Miola Luverta Donahue and Hubert Laws. Theirs was a musical family with siblings that included flautist brother Hubert, saxophonist Ronnie and vocalist Debra. She is, in my view, yet another under appreciated vocal talent whose catalog of work contains several gems worthy of recognition. It didn't need much persuading for the renowned Tamla p...

The title song from the 30-minute short movie "Les Bicyclettes de Belsize" was a monster global hit for Engelbert Humperdinck in 1968, which in turn led to it being recorded by well over a hundred major recording artists around the world.

Vic Dana - Doesn't Anybody Miss Me

A longtime admirer of Dame Shirley Bassey, I love the quote from Britain's premier songwriter, composer, arranger, conductor and pianist, Les Reed OBE regarding his song, "Does Anybody Miss Me", written in collaboration with Johnny Worth, which formed the title track of her August 1969 United Artists album release. According to Les, “Johnny and I were in Cannes many years ago attending a tribut...

Lorrie Morgan is not simply my favourite Country singer, she is also, in my view, one of the finest of all female song stylists! I love her pitch perfect control, impeccable phrasing and, above all, her penetrative feel for the lyrics, all of which are qualities that a stunning song like Mickey Newbury's "What Will I Do" deserves to do it full justice! Lorrie's treatment of this song is include...

    Poor Julie. She was on the cusp of international stardom when nepotism and movie politics intervened. Nancy Sinatra was not chosen to sing YOLT because she had a great voice. She was chosen because she was connected to the right people.

    OH that is so beautirul. I cannot find it in English so I guess it wasn't translated or the title is different from the translation which is "I Need To See You" per online translation of the title to english. I love the pix of Connie and Dusty together. Just imagine what powerhouses in the recording industry they were. Add a few other names to it like Petula Clark and Doris Day and others and it is certainly a breathtaking thought. Thanks, J

    Producer Cubby Broccoli had other ideas..He wanted his good friend Frank Sinatra to sing the Bond Song..But Frank said no but how about his daughter Nancy, coming off her big hit..these boots are made for walking. Composer John Barry rewrote You Only Live Twice along with Leslie Bricusse redid the Lyrics. It took what? 30 Takes for Nancy Sinatra to record The Bond Song!

    Linda Saxone-Hocking sadly passed away after a bravely-fought battle with cancer in Algarve, Portugal in October 2018. She and her husband were avid golfers. I wasn't able to discover what either of them did for a living - or whether they had any children - following her all to brief singing career. There were a great number of excellent female British singers of that time who should have been bigger stars than they were. Helen Shapiro is another who comes to mind in this respect. Luckily this is a platform where they can once again be heard and appreciated.

  • @mmmmmmm3246
    @mmmmmmm3246 4 месяца назад

    Absolutely love this song, I think it would have been amazing used as the title theme. However, if I had to chose between Nancy's version or this one, I might opt for Nancy. While this song is lovely, it lacks catchiness and a momentum that hooks you. Whereas Nancy manages to hook you with every word she sings. Despite being nearly the same length Nancy's version feels too short, yet this one feels like it drags on. I think the producers made the right call, but it must have sucked for Rogers.

    • @ronroberts
      @ronroberts 4 месяца назад

      It's an honest opinion, and that's what counts. I am. though, very much in favour of Julie's original. I love the Far Eastern intro sound, in keeping with the therme and personally much prefer the song to Nancy's. I wish now that I had thought of preceding this recording with a section of a long, multi-subject interview I had with Julie in which she discusses, at length, her recording session and the politics that resulted in the second song of the same title and Nancy as the vocalist.
