  • Fact Or Fiction? Name: Below Is a Biography On
    Fact or Fiction? Name: _________________________ Below is a biography on Amelia Earhart. On the following page is a chart with ten statements. Indicate whether each statement is fact or fiction. Bad Behavior George Herman "Babe Ruth" was born February 6, 1895, in Baltimore, Maryland. His parents owned a saloon near the current site of Camden Yards in Baltimore. They were of German descent and taught him to speak German fluently. George was actually somewhat of a petty criminal as a young boy. By age seven he was already involved in drinking alcohol and chewing tobacco. Because he was too difficult for his parents to control, George was sent away to a catholic school. It was here, where Brother Matthias taught him baseball. As a teenager, George became the team's catcher and then pitcher. Unusual Talent At the age of 19 Jack Dunn, a scout for the Orioles discovered George's baseball talents. He was promptly signed to pitch for the Orioles. After performing well as a pitcher and a batter for the Orioles during spring training, George made the team. Because he was such a young talent, he earned the nickname "Babe". On April 22, 1914, Babe pitched a shutout against the Buffalo Bisons in his Major-League debut. Because the Orioles were in poor financial shape, Jack Dunn was forced to sell off his best players. Babe was sold to the Boston Red Sox in 1914 for an amount between $20,000 and $35,000. Called up to the Majors After pitching for the Red Sox minor league club in Providence, Rhode Island, Babe was called up to the majors permanently toward the end of the 1914 baseball season.

  • Clyde Mcphatter 1987.Pdf
    Clyde McPhatter was among thefirst | singers to rhapsodize about romance in gospel’s emotionally charged style. It wasn’t an easy stepfor McP hatter to make; after all, he was only eighteen, a 2m inister’s son born in North Carolina and raised in New Jersey, when vocal arranger and talent manager Billy | Ward decided in 1950 that I McPhatter would be the perfect choice to front his latest concept, a vocal quartet called the Dominoes. At the time, quartets (which, despite the name, often contained more than four members) were popular on the gospel circuit. They also dominated the R&B field, the most popular being decorous ensembles like the Ink Spots and the Orioles. Ward wanted to combine the vocal flamboyance of gospel with the pop orientation o f the R&B quartets. The result was rhythm and gospel, a sound that never really made it across the R &B chart to the mainstream audience o f the time but reached everybody’s ears years later in the form of Sixties soul. As Charlie Gillett wrote in The Sound of the City, the Dominoes began working instinctively - and timidly. McPhatter said, ' ‘We were very frightened in the studio when we were recording. Billy Ward was teaching us the song, and he’d say, ‘Sing it up,’ and I said, 'Well, I don’t feel it that way, ’ and he said, ‘Try it your way. ’ I felt more relaxed if I wasn’t confined to the melody. I would take liberties with it and he’d say, ‘That’s great.

  • Earth Angel (Will You Be Mine)”—The Penguins (1954) Added to the National Registry: 2004 Essay by Cary O’Dell
    “Earth Angel (Will You Be Mine)”—The Penguins (1954) Added to the National Registry: 2004 Essay by Cary O’Dell The Penguins Original 45 label It is, perhaps, the quintessential doo-wop song. Though it was not the first song in the genre, nor its first “hit,” “Earth Angel (Will You Be Mine)” by the Penguins (DooTone 348; 1954), certainly defines the musical style as much as anything before or since. Doo-wop has been defined as: “a subcategory of vocal group harmony that includes the following musical qualities: group harmony, a wide range of vocal parts, nonsense syllables, a simple beat, light instrumentation, and simple music and lyrics.” Like most codified musical styles, “doo-wop” has its origins in a variety of other genres. Certainly it has its origins in rhythm and blues and black gospel. Traces of doo-wop can also be heard in the music of the Ink Spots and the Mills Brothers, whose heydays were during the Big Band era of the 1930s and ‘40s. And, of course, there’s a “scat” element to doo-wop as well, indicating a strong jazz influence. Doo-wop was born in city ghettos among black youths, who practiced their vocal art in gymnasiums and on street corners, communally using their voices to take the place of musical instruments they either couldn’t afford or didn’t know how to play. The emphasis on vocal dynamics has remained doo-wop’s one consistent factor.
