Saw this in a crime movie some days ago. Belongs to the canon of Kärntner folk music, I think.The text is an old poem by Heinrich Pfeil from the 19th century:




1. Still ruht der See, die Vöglein schlafen,
Ein Flüstern nur, du hörst es kaum.
Der Abend naht, nun senkt sich nieder
Auf die Natur ein süßer Traum.

2. Still ruht der See, durch das Gezweige
Der heilge Odem Gottes weht.
Die Blümlein an dem Seegestade,
Sie sprechen fromm ihr Nachtgebet.

3. Still ruht der See, vom Himmelsdome
Die Sterne friedsam niedersehn.
O Menschenherz, gib dich zufrieden,
Auch du, auch du wirst schlafen gehn.






In the movie it was sung during a funeral. Touching.

Big Band Swing of the 30s and 40s - so great a music!

[Eichhörnchen]

I agree. I've got a massive collection of dance band LPs... mostly British (Lew Stone, Roy Fox, Jack Hylton etc)

[Catfish]

Yes, very nice. Was just about to look for such kind of music, and now i find tons of german swing at YouTube? :o

Hurrying home in a 504 K, i guess this must have been fun :D
I would refrain doing this in the Beetle though, i already had that, please not again :haha:

[Skybird]

Indeed many videos of German Swing on youtube. But it is heartbreaking:


Many are from the late 30s - and just years leater most and sometimes all what they show in places and cities, was in ruins and ashes. Many musicians and composers and arrangers were dead, or had fled, since so many artists and cultural greats in that time were Jews.



Unbelievable when watching these old films. I mean, its just a few months between blossoming and optimism, and total destruction and despair.



Recalls me of Stefan Zweig'S formdiable biography "The world of yesterday" - LINK (https://www.amazon.com/World-Yesterday-Stefan-Zweig/dp/0803226616/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1532907484&sr=8-1&keywords=stefan+zweig&dpID=51Hx7r0j9DL&preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&dpSrc=srch)- where he calls to life the optimistic feel of life in Vienna short before world war one broke out. Superb book, so vivid and alive - and usually I am no big fan of Zweig.

[Catfish]

^ That is what i instantly thought, seeing those films..

Recalls me of Stefan Zweig'S formdiable biography "The world of yesterday" - LINK (https://www.amazon.com/World-Yesterday-Stefan-Zweig/dp/0803226616/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1532907484&sr=8-1&keywords=stefan+zweig&dpID=51Hx7r0j9DL&preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&dpSrc=srch)- where he calls to life the optimistic feel of life in Vienna short before world war one broke out. Superb book, so vivid and alive - and usually I am no big fan of Zweig.I am not a great fan of him either, maybe because we had to read some texts of him at school :03:, but this book is really something else.

Zweig emigrated to London after harrassment by the SA already in Austria, only to flee from there to New York (out of fear that England would declare him an enemy alien and detain him). He then fled to Argentine, Paraguay and finally Brasil where he was welcomed, got new papers and was allowed to stay. He however committed suicide in 1941 together with his wife, being depressive and seeing his spiritual home Europe being destroyed. (classical "illegal" immigrant, papers withdrawn by his home country, and then not allowed to stay in other countries without papers)

The german 'Autobahn' b.t.w. was not planned nor begun by Hitler, but by and during the Weimar Republic, to improve infrastructure and trade within Germany and towards East and West. Typically Hitler finished the work and made it his own idea, and triumph. Some ideas never get old :03:

Without Basia (Trzetrzelewska), Matt Bianco maybe would not have had such a jump start in the early 80s. The band later split up, reunited again in I think 2004 for just one album, and that maybe is the best Matt Bianco album of all. Basia stayed in Europe, Matt Bianco went to Japan.

This is from Basia second solo album.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZV5Nk5IVsU

Another name form that time, 80s, that strikes me: Swing Out Sisters. another band that later went to Japan, and remained popular there for many years to come:

When I was a teen, I had a crush on this girl's voice. So energetic, sexy, setting such an irresistable mood: sparkles everywhwere, like bubbles in a champagne glass. Fritz Brause Band: Shilly-Shally! Its not the - non-special - song, its her enticing singing! Or so I thought at that time. :)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYMhKsvOexA

And this is form on eof my most liked, special LP albums ever, Victor Lazlo: She. When it was released, it became one of my most listened to albums ever, like Dido today. Unfortunately, the album wa snot long even for the standrds of its time, just 32 minutes I think. But oh so beautiful music and singing, uncomplicated, enticing songs, soft rythms- what else to ask for? She did some more god albums later, but "She" I always considered to be her best, conquering my heart on first listening. The new re-reölease of it on CD is an extended album with some more playing time, and added instrumentals. It can be found at youtube.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNoUE5wEww8


And that also was the 80s, one of the rela big smash hits. Needs no introduction. Timeless beauty. Llyog Webber's best ever.

I know and admire this pianist for his albums of Debussy and Ravel piano pieces, he is my reference player when it comes to these composers. That he also plays Gershwin, was new to me, I think.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HKqIUK4jWQ
Its easy to play/interpret Gershwin wrong, too slow or too fast, too sober or too passionate, some players seem to just loosely bas eon him btu playing their own composition. :) He plays he perfectly correct. Like he does with Debussy and Ravel as well.

[Skybird]

He's So Fine - The Chiffons

The way lead singer Judy Craig sings the line "He's a soft-spoken guy" just slays me. So very cool.

The song was produced by The Tokens, house producers for Capital Records. But Capital rejected the track so they shopped it to ten different record companies before Laurie Records picked it up. In the spring of 1963 it was number 1 for four weeks on the Billboard Hot 100.

The Crystals - Da Doo Ron Ron

Recorded at Gold Star Studios in Los Angeles in March 1963, this was Phil Spector's first big success with his 'wall of sound' production technique that made him famous. For the younger crowd it is hard to imagine listening to music through a 3 inch speaker on a transistor radio. But we did. This song was a quantum leap in sound that overcame the limitations of radios and the AM sound of the day. This song sticks in my memory as being different sound wise than anything else at the time. It would be years later before I found out about Spector and the Wrecking Crew.

The song peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100.

A few post back, u crank made reference to Gold Star Studios that used to be here in Hollywood. I live a few blocks away from the former site (now a strip mall) and fondly recall the place every time I pass by that corner. Gold Star closed in the mid-80s when the recording industry went through its first great shakeup due to the rise in self-recording in home studios by the artists themselves rather than in record company facilities in addition to the quantum leaps in recording technology which older studios, like Gold Star, couldn't keep up or adapt. I posted before how there are an awful lot of the old, famous recording studios here in Hollywood that have gone; the fabled RCA studios now exist as part of a film school; another RCA studio, hidden away among other nondescript buildings, was a favorite of Elvis Presley (he used to record there almost exclusively to avoid being seen at the other main RCA studio) and is now used as a small office building for lawyers and such. And its not just the studios; longstanding landmarks and institutions are also fading away; just a few months ago, the legendary Musicians Union Local #47 closed up shop in Hollywood and moved to new offices in the San Fernando Valley. The Local #47 in Hollywood was the home to decades of studio and live musicians of all styles and all media. I knew time was up for the building when I passed by one day and saw demolition crews sizing up the rehearsal hall buildings on the North side of the main building; soon, they were gone, and, a couple of months later, construction crews came in to start work on new buildings to take over the vast parking lots; the main building, or, at least, its facade is being preserved as a cultural 'monument' in recognition of the historic contributions to Hollywood and LA by the union and its membership. Still, it is sad to see yet another piece of local Hollywood history fade away; I wonder what the few remaining musicians' stores nearby will do now that their clientele is all the way in the Valley? When I first moved here in 1970, there were loads of music stores in the area and recording studios, record mastering and pressing plants, and recording equipment vendors all around; now there are precious few left...


u crank also mentioned The Wrecking Crew, the Hollywood studio musicians who were stars in their own right among those knowledgeable of the music business. Perhaps the most well known by the general public was Glen Campbell, who, despite not being able to read music, went on to be a mainstream celebrity. Almost as well known was legendary guitarist Tommy Tedesco:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Tedesco



Tommy Tedesco: The Most Famous Guitarist You’ve Never Heard Of --


http://www.gibson.com/news-lifestyle/features/en-us/tommy-tedesco-guitar-player-0416-2012.aspx


I used to read about him in Guitar Player Magazine even before I came to live in LA in 1970 and I had heard about him during the times I was in and out of LA in the 60s. Every guitarist who wanted to work their way into steady studio gigs knew the bar was set by Tedesco and it was a very, very high bar, indeed. Tommy's son produced a documentary film about The Wrecking Crew that grew out of his desire to honor his father's memory. The film is excellent and includes interviews with surviving members of the Crew; I highly recommend seeing it if you can...


The following clip is from a portion of the documentary and features some of the musicians who were part of the Crew:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9-FfwwXRDg


In the clip, mention is made of Tina Turner's hit, River Deep, Mountain High, which, in my opinion, is the quintessential Phil Spector record production and was recorded in Phil's favorite studio, Gold Star, which, although a bit cramped, boasted the best echo chamber in the recording business. Phil actually had to make a deal with Ike Turner, who micromanaged every aspect of Tina's life, to get the song recorded the way Phil wanted; Ike had wanted Tina to basically shout/sing the entire song in the R&B mode and Phil wanted a more soft/loud dynamic, so Phil got Ike to agree to stay out of the studio entirely while the song was being worked on and recorded. The song became a big hit and a piece of music history without Ike's input, a fact which ate at Ike for years until Ike finally got Tina to rerecord the number the way Ike wanted it on a later album; the new Ike version is very much lesser of the two....


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yz3d5g3XkI

BTW, the studio photos in the above clip were shot in Gold Star...





Here is the finished product:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9Lehkou2Do




Ike Turner got credit on the final record even though he was no where near the studio when it was recorded; strange how two of the most insane guys wound up working together on this song. Ike was overtly and violently mad; he, at one time, had a private recording studio here in LA that was nicknamed "The Citadel" because it was a bit of a 'fortress' due to Ike's paranoia; I used to hear all kinds of stories from musicians and others who spent time with Ike at the studio about Ike pulling guns and going nuts at little or no provocation; one time, he walked into the studio, reached into his coat, pulled out a gun and a stack of money; he threw down the cash on the floor and, cocking the gun, he declared, "There's ten grand in cash! Who's got the balls to pick it up?"; there were no takers...


Spector, too, was known to pull and even fire guns in the recording studio. In fact, I directly owe the bartender job I got in the mid-70s to an incident where Phil pulled a gun...

That was a great post vienna. I liked it so much I read it twice.:D I love hearing first hand stuff about music history. You are fortunate to get a close up look. Us people out in the boonies aren't so lucky. You should consider writing a book. I'd buy it.

Funny you should mention Tommy Tedesco and Guitar Player Magazine. That's exactly how I came to hear about him and it sparked my interest in The Wrecking Crew and other studios and their house bands. That documentary by his son is great. I like the part in the clip where Tedesco's chart is upside down. Those people made a lot of magic.

Spector, too, was known to pull and even fire guns in the recording studio. In fact, I directly owe the bartender job I got in the mid-70s to an incident where Phil pulled a gun...

See now there's a chapter in that book right there. :yep:

[vienna]

Thanks, u crank...


My favorite Tommy Tedesco bit in the documentary is where Tommy is shown conducting one of his many guitar seminars and he's recounting some of his gigs as a session musician. He tells how he was asked to add a 'Mexican-flavored' guitar bit to a film soundtrack and he demonstrated what he played, a beautiful Spanish guitar solo. He said that a couple of days later and he was at a session for another film set in Brazil and was asked for a "Brazil-flavored" solo; he again demonstrated, playing the exact same solo he had done for the "Mexican-flavored' session, causing the audience to break out in laughter. He then told about his next session where they asked for another Latin-specific solo, and yup, he played the same solo as before...


Tommy was a real character and a superb musician. There will never be another like him...


As far as writing books, it is an idea that several other people have floated to me, but I can't really see a cogent narrative I could use; anyway, my experiences aren't really all that unique; a lot of other people also went through the same times I did and they are far more interesting...

Another famous and highly influential house band was the Stax/Volt outfit Booker T. & the M.G.'s. The original members were Booker T. Jones (organ, piano), Steve Cropper (guitar), Lewie Steinberg (bass), and Al Jackson Jr. (drums). Later Steinberg was replaced by Donald “Duck” Dunn. As the house band they were augmented by The Memphis Horns ( also known as the Mar-Keys, a name sometimes used for all six members) whose main members were Wayne Jackson and Andrew Love. At times Jones would be away attending Indiana University and Stax writer and producer Isaac Hayes would fill in on keyboards. Hayes and his song writing partner David Porter played an intragal part in creating the 'Memphis sound'.

Another interesting thing about these guys is that they were a racially integrated group in a southern city during the Civil Rights era.

Stax/Volt artists like Otis Redding, Rufus Thomas, Sam & Dave, Carla Thomas and Wilson Pickett all benefited from this group. The hits are to numerous to mention.

The M.G.'s were also a solo recording act. Their biggest hit, 'Green Onions' became the template for Southern Soul and R and B sound. They were widely copied and admired. Croppers' reverb drench guitar and Jones' spooky organ playing are awesome.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bpS-cOBK6Q

'Soul Man' by Sam and Dave features this house band in all its' power and glory. The quartet, along with the Mar-Keys horn section exemplifies that 'Memphis Sound'. Dunns' bass line and those horns. Yea. I know it had a huge impact on my musical tastes as a teenager.

Marvin Gaye - What's Going On

Every song has a story and some are truly fascinating. Marvin Gaye began his career at Motown in the early 60's and had success as a singer, song writer and producer. Gaye was also married to Anna Gordy, Motown founder Berry Gordy's sister.

Gaye was going through some troubled times in the late 60's. Gaye had felt increasingly frustrated by the lack of artistic freedom afforded him by his boss Berry Gordy and the formulated hit making of the Motown hit machine. He was also suffering from serious depression brought on by the death of friend and collaborator Tammi Terrell who died in March 1970 of a brain tumor.

The song What's Going On was started by Renaldo "Obie" Benson of the Four Tops after he witnessed an act of police brutality at an anti-war rally in Berkeley. The Four Tops though weren't interested in a protest song. The lyrics were further fleshed out by Motown in‑house composer Al Cleveland. That version was presented to Gaye. He made changes to the melody and the lyrics and on June 10th, 1970, Marvin Gaye entered Studio A at Motown's Hitsville USA to record the song himself.

Gaye wanted something different than the typical R&B/soul of Motown. One change made was not to use Richard 'Pistol' Allen on drums. Looking for a different sound, Gaye assigned that role to Chet Forest, described by bass player Bob Babbitt as "more of a swing big‑band drummer. That contributed to the more jazzy, laidback feel of the track. But one Funk Brother Gaye insisted on having was James Jamerson. That was a bit of a problem as Jamerson had been absent for a while from the studio. The bass player was a notorious drinker (a habit that would eventually contribute to his death). Finally Gaye found him one night at a local bar playing with a blues band. He convinced him to come to the studio after the set. Jamerson, drunk and tired was unable to sit properly in his chair and play. So as the story goes, one of the worlds' premier session bass players played that wonderful syncopated, constantly‑changing bass line on this iconic song while laying on his back on the studio floor.

Berry Gordys' reaction to the song was less than positive. He didn't like it saying it was "too jazzy” and that it sounded "old” and that he hated its "Dizzy Gillespie‑styled scats”. He refused to release it.

Marvins' response was to go on strike. He refused to do any further work. There was a stalemate for several months but eventually 100,000 copies were released. Gordy was some what placated when they sold out within 24 hours, leading to the pressing of a further 100,000 discs to meet demand. The rest is history. The song would eventually sell over two‑and‑a‑half million units, making it the fastest‑selling release in Motown's history up until that time. It hit the top spot on the R&B chart that March and reached the number two spot on the Billboard Hot 100.

It is #4 on Rolling Stones' 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

Great video... was that Elizabeth Montgomery in the purple outfit? Phwoar!


Yes, it was. Elizabeth Montgomery was playing the role of her mischievous cousin, Serena, who was way less uptight than the Samantha character. I actually really preferred the Serena character because, aside from the fact Montgomery looked even more attractive as a brunette, the character also gave Montgomery the chance to cut loose, wear wilder clothing and just be all around sexier. Just for you, I dug up this clip of Serena singing and dancing to a song written in 1969 by the songwriting team of Boyce & Hart who were responsible for an awful lot of pop and bubblegum songs in the late 60s-early 70s (and, btw, a lot of their songs were awful). The song is titled I'll Blow You A Kiss In The Wind. IIRC, the song, as sung by Elizabeth Montgomery, was actually released as a single, but kind of fizzled out, as did a version release by Boyce & Hart. Oddly enough, the song was later covered in 1984 by the band Redd Kross...


I found a couple of clips of varying sound and picture quality and the YT clip has just about the best picture, but the audio lacks; the Vimeo clip has better sound, but the picture lacks...


Enjoy, and, as you put it... Phwoar!...

In the Aretha Franklin RIP thread, I posted a link to Aretha's Chain Of Fools and a response mentioned Joe South as one of the sidemen on the recording, playing the prominent guitar. Joe South was a singer/songwriter best known, really, for his songwriting, although he did make a mark in the charts with a couple of hits. If you ever heard the songs Games People Play, Down In The Boondocks, I Never Promised You A Rose Garden, or Walk A Mile In My Shoes, among others, they were all written by Joe South. A lot of his songs were actually bigger hits when other singers did their versions (Lynn Anderson got what became her 'signature' song with Rose Garden). I was never a very big fan of South's songs; at the time they seemed a bit too 'poppish'; I did, however like his guitar playing. Back when South was making a name for himself, he wrote a song that became a breakthrough hit for a UK band. I recall making some of the band'sfans in SF and LA a bit put out when I pointed out the "heavy" song was actually written by Joe South:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFQSwaRfJsk


This is a longer take of the song; it seems a bit looser and shows of some off South's guitar work:

Rumer's first album from a couple of years ago, was wonderful, fantastic.
The follow up album however I found disappointing, since it suffered from a very poor choice of songs, imo. I did not buy in.

But her latest one is brilliant again, the songs from the famous Bacharach&David meet her voice and way of singing perfectly, the arrangements are superb. Her voice is golden, soft, and warm.

@ Eisenwurst & Catfish...


I'm also a huge fan of Divinyls. I first heard of them when their first studio album came out; I was in the late, lamented Sunset Strip Tower Records store when one of their songs was played on the store's PA. When I hear songs for the first time, I usually don't really pay attention to the lyrics, preferring to concentrate on the music's instrumentation. The song had a compelling opening hook and, when the vocalist started, I took notice of a very different voice than on other rock or pop songs. Then I really took notice of the lyrics, dark, intimate, and, perhaps, from a personal place. There are songs that make you want to pay attention and this was one of those songs. After the song finished, I immediately went to the customer service counter and asked the name of the group and if they had the album in stock: Divinyls and yes, they did. I bought the album (I think I actually bought it as a cassette tape) and listened to it over and over again, and, in the following years, I sought out any work they put out...

Chrissy was an exceptional performer who didn't just sing songs, she acted the songs and conveyed the core of the lyrics. The songs she wrote or co-wrote are some of the best songwriting of the period and her songwriting skills were/are grossly overlooked. She was indeed a force of nature...

This is the song that got my attention that day in Tower Records...

Indeed. She was in a turbulent relationship with her long time partner and fellow band member.

Plus the band did a lot of gigs in Sydney's Northern Beaches area- the breeding ground of some big name bands ( at least in Australia ) "Midnight Oil" "INXS" "Mental As Anything" and probably a few more I've forgotten. The Northern Beaches has a distinct character different from the rest of Sydney, it's hard to define to foreigners, but it's viewed as being a bit "strange". A lot of "suffering" if you have to live and work there.

Harvey Lembeck was a great character actor, known not only for his comedy roles, but, also, for some very good serious roles. He was not only an actor, he was a also a director and he was a pioneer in the art of improvisational comedy (improv); he had a workshop here in Hollywood where he taught and trained actors in all aspects of the art with a focus on comedy; he was highly respected and regarded in the field. He has a son, Michael Lembeck, who also became an actor, appearing in TV shows in the mid-70s and 80s; like his father, whom he strongly resembles, he has branched out into directing, writing, and producing; he also continues to operate his father's Comedy Workshop, which has an a very impressive roster of students, past and present:

One of the great aspects of the "Beach" movies was acting as a showcase for some acts, then new, that would go on to bigger fame, such as this fellow who, IIRC, made a bit of a name for himself:

To be honest, as a young teenage boy, the main attraction of the Beach film series was all those girls in bikinis; however, the one who really caught my fancy was the one who I don't recall ever having been in a bikini in any of the films: Candy Johnson, who could stop a guy dead in his tracks:

This final clip is from one of the Beach series and features screen legend Dorothy Lamour singing and dancing; of note are two young dancers: in the yellow mini-dress is a barely out of teen years Teri Garr, and, in the shiny bikini, an equally young Toni Basil, later to be known as a famed choreographer and for singing the New Wave hit, Mickey...

A Tribute to a Great Subsim Member.:)



...not really great, just lucky to be around...

Great pull, eisenwurst! :up: Never heard of that cut before. The actual name of the group turns out to "Harry Limes' Gang" and they appear to have been a one hit wonder...

The Third Man is one of my very favorite films, all the way back from when I saw it as a child on TV, back in the 1950s. The music was so well done and placed. This is a very good version of the theme:

One of the beauties of old films was how a lot of the great films could convey so much with just a visual and an underlying theme:

I saw Orson Welles several times in person because one of my old walking routes used to take me by a restaurant, Ma Maison, Welles' favorite dining hangout; he was there so often, people trying to contact him often called the restaurant first before his own home and sometimes even mail was sent to him in care of Ma Maison; he even had his own reserved table. I would often see him lumbering his great frame either out of or into his limo. Both he and the restaurant are gone, but there are stories his ghost still haunts the location, taking up residence at the high-end pastry and sandwich shop currently at the old restaurant's location...

Shore Leave in the Samurai Navy. Hard for a foreigner.





OK, sure, no double entendre, (nudge, nudge, wink, wink), say no more... :03:


Back in 1963, this song made it to the #1 on the US record charts, being possibly the only time a #1 song was unintelligible to the vast listening or buying audiences (if you don't count any of the rap/hip-hop releases):

Thanks. I live in the part of LA known as Hollywood, either famously or infamously; there is another thread about neighborhoods where members were asked to post what their neighborhoods looked like, but I was stymied because the Hollywood area is so mixed: a blend of tourist hangs, residential streets, media industry business, and the usual sort of businesses found everywhere. I live on a quiet tree-lined residential street, on the far East end of the block; if I walk West and turn North a couple of blocks, I'm at Sunset Blvd., a main thoroughfare in Hollywood; if I walk a couple of more blocks, I'm at the famed corner of Hollywood Blvd. & Vine St. The area has changed a lot recently and a lot of the changes are not necessarily for the good since they have resulted in the loss of a lot of the old Hollywood landmarks and vibe. To show how weird it is to live in Hollywood, a few blocks South of my place is Paramount Studios, butted up to the Holly Forever Cemetery, one of the oldest in Los Angeles and the final resting place to stars from way back in the silent era to today (Dee Dee Ramone is interred there); there are all sorts of old sound stages and old studio facilities, still in use, all over the place; Charlie Chaplin's original Studio is still here, about a mile away, and is the home of the Jim Henson Co. (Muppets, Sesame Street). Hollywood has been a strange place to live over the past 40+ years and appears now to be becoming another outpost of Starbucks and other gentrified blandness...
