  • Extract from Chapter Four: When You Grow Up, Little Lady
    Extract From Chapter Four: When You Grow Up, Little Lady In the summer of 1934, Lew took the band on the road again, and they played to sell-out audiences in Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Portsmouth and Nottingham, where Tiny Winters recalled that „people were scrambling for autographs in the interval, it was a near-riot. It really did bring home to us how people felt about the band.‟ When Al Bowlly sang, the dancers stopped dancing, and clustered ten-deep in front of the band-stand. In Bradford, he left the stage during an instrumental number, and was besieged by girls. He couldn‟t fight his way back to the microphone in time for his next vocal, and the band had to fill in for 32 bars. In that same year, Bowlly went to the USA, with Bill Harty, to sing with a new Ray Noble band. Alan Kane became the band‟s regular vocalist, while Jock Jacobson took over the drummer‟s stool. Albert Harris joined as guitarist, and Stanley Black was now on piano. In February 1935 the new band opened at the Hollywood Restaurant in Piccadilly. In March, trumpeter Nat Gonella left, to launch his career as a band-leader, with a smaller jazzier ensemble - The Georgians. Tommy McQuater took his place. At the Holborn Empire, Lew Stone made his debut as a comedian, with a languidly elegant rendering of the comedy song „Algernon Whifflesnoop John‟, complete with monocle, and supported by trumpeter Alfie Noakes as his obsequious butler. His deadpan vocal delivery also enhanced „The Gentleman Obviously Doesn‟t Believe‟, „Knock Knock‟, and most memorably „I‟ll be-BBCing You‟.

  • SELLING ITALY by the SOUND Cross-Cultural Interchanges Through Cover Records by Paolo Prato
    SELLING ITALY BY THE SOUND Cross-cultural interchanges through cover records by Paolo Prato ABSTRACT Since the beginning of modern canzone, cover versions have represented a shortcut to import and export songs across national borders. By breaking language barriers, these records have played the role of ambassadors of Italian music abroad and, viceversa, of Anglo-American music at home. Although cover records mania boomed especially in the sixties, the history of Italian popular music is disseminated by such examples, including exchanges with French and Spanish speaking countries as well, but not only. After reflecting on the nature of ‘cover’ and offering a definition that includes its being a cross-cultural space most typical of Italy and other peripheral countries in the age of early contacts with pop modernity, the paper focuses on the economical, aesthetic and sociological paradigms that affect the international circulation of cover records and suggests a few theoretical explanations that refuse the obsolete ‘cultural imperialism’ thesis in favour of a more flexible view hinged upon the notion of ‘deterritorializazion’. In the final section the paper provides a short history of Italian records that were hits abroad, decade by decade, and ends up with highlighting those artists that played the role of cultural mediators between Italy and the world. During a talk in the backstage of his first Sanremo Festival, in the year 1964, Frankie Laine was asked by a journalist who were his favourite Italian singers. ‘Tony Bennett and Perry Como’ said he. ‘I said Italian’, insisted the interviewer. ‘But they are Italian’, replied the Italian-American artist born as Frank Paul Lo Vecchio.

New dances, jazz music, and cocktail parties were continuously being imported from America, aided by the popularity of American cinema, which shaped the form of leisure activities of Britain throughout the Twenties and Thirties. However, the conservative response to these forms of music was strict, and post War society was involved with means of trespassing the restrictions and legislations. This paper intends to look at the genres of popular music and their spatial sites of performance – dance halls and ball rooms in England as well as the English colonies – as discursive sites of production and resistance.

Fred Coots and Ozzie Nelson. Nelson and his orchestra recorded the song on November 25, 1931 (Brunswick E37427).[1] Wild About Harry and Paddlin Madlin "I'm Just Wild About Harry" is a song written in 1921 with lyrics by Noble Sissle and music by Eubie Blake for the Broadway show Shuffle Along. "I'm Just Wild About Harry" was the most popular number of the production, which was the first financially successful Broadway play to have African-American writers and an all African-American cast. Originally written as a waltz, Blake rewrote the number as a foxtrot at the singer's request. The result was a simple, direct, joyous, and infectious tune enhanced onstage by improvisational dancing. In 1948 Harry S. Truman selected "I'm Just Wild About Harry" as his campaign song for the United States presidential election of 1948.[2] Its success in politics led to a popular revival.

  • Croonette: an Elsie Carlisle Discography
    CROONETTE An Elsie Carlisle Discography by A. G. Kozak Version 1.0.3 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0 Generic License. https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8307-9716 DOI 10.5281/zenodo.3753041 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Conventions Reference List Abbreviations Discography 1 INTRODUCTION Elsie Carlisle started her career as a child chorus girl on the late Edwardian stage and effectively retired by the end of the Second World War with the well-earned epithet “Idol of the Radio.” Radio was the medium through which millions had come to love her. She had reached the public through other means as well, including short films and television (when that technology was in its infancy). Yet for an appreciation of her contribution to culture, twenty-first-century connoisseurs of popular song are almost entirely dependent on her voice’s persistence on the brittle shellac records of the time (or on the rare alternatives, primitive plastics or cardboard and acetate). In order to distinguish very similar records from one another and to identify which ones preserve which individual takes of a song, and in order to relate the physical discs to the historical recording sessions, we must rely on the aid of a discography. Two discographies have been written about Elsie Carlisle’s artistic output. The first, Edward S. Walker’s Elsie Carlisle – With a Different Style, was no doubt impressive when it was published in 1974, but it has been in almost every respect superseded by Richard Johnson’s 1994 Elsie Carlisle: A Discography. Johnson includes extensive information (often based on archival research) about the identity of bands and accompanists, even going so far as to identify individual band personnel.
