Introduction Introduction Welcome to “The Greatest Hits Explained”. My name is Michael Winter and I’m the host and editor of the show. I’m a German American passionate music lover and I would now like to invite you to go on an exciting musical journey with me. If you’re in the mood for some entertaining pop music history, you’ve come to the right place. I’m glad you’re here and I’m really looking forward to this journey together. Today, we’re gonna talk about a wonderful song that was written by legendary American singer-song- writer Dolly Parton and originally released by her in 1974. While the song was quite a success at the time, reaching the number one spot of the “Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart” in 1974 and again in 1982 after Dolly re-recorded and re-released it, it was not until 1992, when American R&B singer Whitney Houston recorded and released a new version of the song for the soundtrack of the movie “The Bodyguard”, that the song became one of the most successful songs of all time. Yes, you guessed right: I’m talking about the song “I Will Always Love You” – one of the best-selling singles of all time.1 Since the song “I Will Always Love You” is copyrighted material and purchasing the rights would be awfully expensive, I’m not able to play it here for you. But don’t worry, I’m gonna tell you everything about the song you need to know and then you can listen to it elsewhere after you finished this episode here. If you like this show, please subscribe, leave a review, a like, a comment – whatever applies to the specific platform on which you’re listening to this. Also, I really appreciate donations. Those donations help me cover my expenses for this show such as hosting fees, equipment cost, etc. I’m doing all of this to entertain you based on my endless love for music and since there is no big network pumping dollars into this show, I’m the one who has to pay for all related expenses. Therefore, a small donation would already be amazing. Also, maybe you want to drop me a note from one music lover to another – I hope to hear from all of you. It’s now time to travel back into time and, since the focus of this episode is on the 1992 version of “I Will Always Love You” which was the number one US Billboard Hot 100 song of the year 1993, we’re first gonna go through some of the important events of the year 1993 before we’re gonna focus on the music by discussing the song, its production, success and reception.1 After that, we’ll get to know the artists and musicians behind it, Dolly Parton and Whitney Houston, among others, a lot better and we’ll also explore more of the musical aspects related to “I Will Always Love You” including its lyrics. The grand finale will then be a quick exploration of the song’s legacy. By the way, please note that you can find a link to the sources I used for this show in the show description. Also, I’m mentioning all the sources I used at the very end of this show. This show is based on my personal research of sources I found online and otherwise. Therefore, I owe a lot of thanks to the authors of these original sources. I have used both paraphrased and literal content and quotes from these sources without declaring them during the show as it would have taken away from the flow. In no way was this intended to claim that I came up with all the original content. I see my job as putting together and processing the content from a variety of different sources in a way that it creates a new and exciting narrative that wouldn’t necessarily be possible and available using the single sources alone in an unprocessed way. And if there’s anything that I stated or pronounced incorrectly, please forgive me. I did my best. 1 Source 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Will_Always_Love_You The Times Whitney Houston’s version of “I Will Always Love You” was the US Billboard Hot 100 song of the year 1993 and, therefore, we’re gonna take a look at the year 1993 before focusing on the song and the people behind it.1 Shining a light on the situation the world was in when the song was successful provides us with some helpful context. 1993 was the 993rd year of the 2nd millennium, the 93rd year of the 20th century and the 4th year of the 1990s decade.2 Here’s a quick but not exhaustive list of what happened in 1993: The year started with Czechoslovakia ceasing to exist on January 1st when the Czech Republic and Slovakia separated in what was called the Velvet Divorce.2 US President George Bush and Russian President Boris Yeltsin signed the second Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty in Moscow on January 3rd.2 On January 20th, Bill Clinton was sworn in as the 42nd President of the United States.2 And on January 26th, Václav Havel was elected President of the Czech Republic.2 On February 26th, the World Trade Center in New York City was bombed killing six and injuring over one thousand people.2 April 19th: A stand-off at a compound of religious sect The Branch Davidians near Waco, Texas, ends after 51 days with a fire that kills 76 people, including the cult leader David Koresh.2 Tennis player Monica Seles – at the time the world’s number one in women's tennis – was stabbed during a match in Hamburg on April 30th.2 The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia was created in The Hague on May 25th.

  • Specious Poisons?: Reputation, Gender, and Democratic Politics (Under the Direction of Susan Bickford.)
    SPECIOUS POISONS?: REPUTATION, GENDER, AND DEMOCRATIC POLITICS Erin N. Taylor A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Political Science. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: Susan Bickford Reader: Michael Lienesch Reader: John McGowan Reader: Jeff Spinner-Halev Reader: Marco Steenbergen ABSTRACT ERIN N. TAYLOR: Specious Poisons?: Reputation, Gender, and Democratic Politics (Under the direction of Susan Bickford.) Suggesting that reputation and gossip have been largely ignored by contemporary political theorists, I argue that both reputation and the gossip that helps to constitute it are important aspects of our communal and political lives. I begin with the work of Jean-Jacques Rousseau as representative of a larger early modern discourse that identified the desire for reputation as one that is central to human beings. Arguing that this desire for reputation simultaneously poses great dangers and great power for political communities, Rousseau’s vision urges careful attention to political arrangements as a way of harnessing the positive effects of the desire for reputation. In my second chapter, I move to a focus on the relationship between reputation and gender, interrogating the necessity that women maintain spotless sexual reputations (a central feature to Rousseau’s political schema) in light of both Mary Wollstonecraft’s critique of Rousseau as well as my examination of the fate of Rousseau’s heroines. Turning to the work of Harriet Taylor and John Stuart Mill, I contend that their arguments about the stifling effects of reputational politics for individual liberty point to a nuanced understanding of the differential effects of reputation for individuals in various echelons of society.

  • Framework for Visualising Music Mood Using Visual Texture
    FRAMEWORK FOR VISUALISING MUSIC MOOD USING VISUAL TEXTURE Adzira Husain MA Art and Design (Visual Communication and New Media) UiTM, Shah Alam 2008 Bachelor in Multimedia (Hons) (Digital Media) Multimedia University, Cyberjaya 2004 This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2020 DECLARATION I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work, which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. i ABSTRACT Modernised online music libraries and services provide effortless access to unlimited music collections. When contending with other competitors, online music developers have to devise interesting, fun, and easy‐to‐use interaction methods for their users to browse for music. The conventional way of browsing a music collection is by going through a text list of songs by song title or artist name. This method may not be sufficient to maintain an overview of the music collection. Users will end up searching for the same artist that they are familiar with, and will not be able to discover other new and interesting songs that are available in the music collection. There are many ways of browsing songs in an online music library. In the field of Music Information Retrieval (MIR), various types of visual variables such as colour, position, size, and shape have been investigated when representing music data. Texture is also one of the visual variables. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no research focusing explicitly on texture. Mood of music is one of the essential cues used for music exploration.

  • THE STAGING of the FEMALE BODY in University of Stavanger COUNTRY MUSIC [email protected]
    MÜZİKTE TEMSİL & MÜZİKSEL TEMSİL II ‘STAND BY YOUR MAN’ Lise K. Özgen THE STAGING OF THE FEMALE BODY IN University of Stavanger COUNTRY MUSIC [email protected] I am going to look at performativity and expressions of femininity in popular music; more specifically in country music. An interesting example can be the Canadian singer d.lang, where the transition between women/man dynamic to a more ambiguous gender construction is fundamental in how lang represents herself through her songs. Performativity The connection between gender and performance has been discussed in many cultural theoretical settings, using the term ‘masquerade’. The term has become an important and nuanced theoretical aspect of femininity and its representation. Joan Riviere’s ‘Womanliness as a Masquerade’ from 1929 holds a key place in discussion of female sexuality in psychoanalysis. Riviere argued that femininity was a performance where there was no genuine femininity separate from the masquerade; there is no distinction between authentic womanliness and its masquerade. “Womanliness ... could be assumed and worn as a mask, both to hide the possession of masculinity and to avert the reprisals expected if she was found to possess it…” (Riviere 1929:213). According to this, gendered identities are produced and performed in everything one does, and there is no gendered identity separate from performance. Performance demands the idea of an act, where the performer constructs a fabricated or invented identity. In this context we can also include Judith Butler’s ideas about performativity. We as individuals create ourselves through activities. Performance is not something passive which carries in it an inherent meaning; instead we are created by active actions that confirm meaning.

  • Once a Day”--Connie Smith (1964) Added to the National Registry: 2020 Essay by Barry Mazor (Guest Post)*
    “Once a Day”--Connie Smith (1964) Added to the National Registry: 2020 Essay by Barry Mazor (guest post)* Bill Anderson, Connie Smith and Bob Ferguson in the studio Just months before Connie Smith would step up to the microphone at RCA Records’ Music Row Studio B for her very first recording session, she was a virtually unknown Ohio housewife who’d performed at nearby fairs and on local television. Then, fatefully, at an August 1963 talent contest near Columbus, the contest judge proved to be recording star and country songwriting master Bill Anderson. He would note in his memoir, “None of us could believe such a big voice was coming out of such a petite lady.” He’d told her that if she ever came to Nashville to pursue a country career, he’d be there for her. It took her months to decide to give that a try. RCA’s Nashville label head, Chet Atkins, was impressed by her demo tapes, and when Anderson assured him that he’d have new songs for her that could help get her established, she was signed to the label and in the studio within three weeks. Constance June Meador Smith was 23 as her recording career began that day--July 16, 1964--a young wife and mother. The third song she recorded at that first session, Bill Anderson’s “Once a Day,” in which the singer tells us how the loss of a love to another can be devastating, and as a matter of fact, there’s no denying it has been, would become a country music phenomenon.

  • Model LA-610 Channel Strip
    Model LA-610 Channel Strip Universal Audio Manual Number 65-0901 Revision 1.00 Universal Audio, Inc. www.uaudio.com 330 Encinal St. Santa Cruz, CA 95060 (831) 466-3737 voice (831) 466-3775 fax www.uaudio.com The LA-610 Channel Strip Thank you for purchasing the LA-610 Channel Strip. This unit combines a modified channel of our 2-610 Mic Pre with an LA2A style T4 Optical Compressor. Our 610 was inspired by the microphone preamp section of the 610 tube console designed by my father, M.T. “Bill” Putnam, in the 1950s. The 610 was a rotary-control console and was the first console of the modular design. Although technologically simple compared to modern consoles, the 610 possessed a warmth and character that kept it in demand for decades. As a prominent part of my father’s United/Western studios, the 610 was used on many classic recordings by Frank Sinatra and Sarah Vaughan. The Beach Boys Pet Sounds, the Doors LA Woman, and Van Halen’s debut album were all recorded on the 610. The legendary Wally Heider used the 610 in his remote truck for many of his best-known live recordings. At Ocean Way Studios (formerly United), the 610 is lovingly preserved and still used in Studio B. The T4 Compressor element in the LA-610 is identical to the circuit components housed inside the T4 optical cell used on the legendary LA- 2A compressor. The heart and soul of the LA-2A is mostly a result of this special optical gain control element.
