  • Began Her Professional Career in 1966 at the Cafe Wha? in Greenwich
    SUSAN COLLINS began her professional career in 1966 at the Cafe Wha? in Greenwich Village singing with Jimi Hendrix in Jimmy James and the Blue Flames, the ground-breaking guitarist’s group just before he left NYC for London. Then a sophomore straight out of Brooklyn’s Lafayette High, Susan was managed by singer-songwriter Richie Havens, with whom she later attended Woodstock, flying in by helicopter. In 2011 Susan’s close friend and musical director of 35 years, Paul Shaffer stated: “Susan Collins is my favorite singer…period!” Paul calls her “my BFF and a singer’s singer - what a voice!” In 2006 Susan sang a song she co-wrote with Paul, on a bill with Harry Shearer, Marshall Crenshaw, and They Might Be Giants at NYC’s Canal Room. Of this performance, Fox News.com’s Roger Friedman wrote: “Collins is terrific. She can hold her own with Ronnie Spector any day of the week.” Susan appeared with Spector, Lesley Gore, Lala Brooks et. al. at Lincoln Center’s girl group tribute SHE’S GOT THE POWER in the summer of 2011. YOU CAN TAKE THE GIRL OUTTA BROOKLYN, Susan’s autobiographical musical revue (originated at bergenPac NJ before its NYC run), tells the story of how she started singing a cappella on the street corner of her housing project in the 1960s and went on to a career in the music business, making key vocal contributions to numerous hit records, TV shows, movies and advertising. Recipient of the ASCAP Award for songwriting, Susan’s first day job was writing for legendary producer/TV host and 2012 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, the late Don Kirshner.

  • The Heart of Rock and Soul by Dave Marsh
    The Heart of Rock and Soul by Dave Marsh 20 BE MY BABY, The Ronettes Produced by Phil Spector; written by Phil Spector, Ellie Greenwich, and Jeff Barry Philles 116 1963 Billboard: #2 DA DOO RON RON, The Crystals Produced by Phil Spector; written by Phil Spector, Ellie Greenwich, and Jeff Barry Philles 112 1963 Billboard: #3 CHRISTMAS (BABY PLEASE COME HOME), Darlene Love Produced by Phil Spector; written by Phil Spector, Ellie Greenwich, and Jeff Barry Philles 119 1963 Did not make pop charts To hear folks talk, Phil Spector made music out of a solitary vision. But the evidence of his greatest hits insists that he was heavily dependent on a variety of assistance. Which makes sense: Record making is fundamentally collaborative. Spector associates like engineer Larry Levine, arranger Jack Nitzsche, and husband-wife songwriters Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich were simply indispensable to his teen-art concoctions. Besides them, every Spector track featured a dozen or more musicians. The constant standouts were' drummer Hal Blaine, one of the most inventive and prolific in rock history, and saxophonist Steve Douglas. Finally, there were vast differences among Spector's complement of singers. An important part of Spector's genius stemmed from his ability to recruit, organize, and provide leadership within such a musical community. Darlene Love (who also recorded for Spector with the Crystals and Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans) ranks just beneath Aretha Franklin among female rock singers, and "Christmas" is her greatest record, though it was never a hit. (The track probably achieved its greatest notice in the mid-eighties, when it was used over the opening credits of Joe Dante's film, Gremlins.) Spector's Wall of Sound, with its continuously thundering horns and strings, never seemed more massive than it does here.

  • BO DIDDLEY's UNCONVENTIONAL 1950'S SOUND and ITS
    BO DIDDLEY’S UNCONVENTIONAL 1950’s SOUND AND ITS ANTICIPATION OF HIP HOP OVERVIEW ESSENTIAL QUESTION How were Bo Diddley’s recordings an anomaly in relation to 1950s Pop music, and how is his rhythm-driven sound and self-presentation a precursor to Hip Hop style? OVERVIEW From his first appearance on the Billboard R&B chart in 1955 and continuing over his five- decade career, Bo Diddley has been celebrated for the rhythm-driven, percussive sound of his ensemble, at the center of which was Diddley’s guitar playing. If by the Rock era the guitar solo became a symbolic centerpiece in recordings and performances, Diddley’s emphasis was always on the rhythm guitar. His approach didn’t revolve around the single- and double-note leads that came to dominate the music. Instead, Bo Diddley pioneered a sound that involved every member of his combo playing with a percussive sensibility. Rhythm was emphasized over melody, with a vocal style that often approximated Rap set against that rhythmic backdrop. Earlier even than James Brown, Diddley inadvertently pointed to a Hip Hop future. His best-known rhythm guitar pattern (three strokes/rest/two strokes, or “shave and a haircut, two bits”) influenced many. The “Bo Diddley beat,” as it came to be known, appeared on records by Buddy Holly, the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, U2, rapper B.o.B., and many others. In Bo Diddley’s own songs, the “Bo Diddley beat” was often combined with remarkably simple chord changes, as can be heard on his self-titled debut single, “Bo Diddley.” Throughout that single-chord song, which went to No.

  • “Rapper's Delight”
    1 “Rapper’s Delight” From Genre-less to New Genre I was approached in ’77. A gentleman walked up to me and said, “We can put what you’re doing on a record.” I would have to admit that I was blind. I didn’t think that somebody else would want to hear a record re-recorded onto another record with talking on it. I didn’t think it would reach the masses like that. I didn’t see it. I knew of all the crews that had any sort of juice and power, or that was drawing crowds. So here it is two years later and I hear, “To the hip-hop, to the bang to the boogie,” and it’s not Bam, Herc, Breakout, AJ. Who is this?1 DJ Grandmaster Flash I did not think it was conceivable that there would be such thing as a hip-hop record. I could not see it. I’m like, record? Fuck, how you gon’ put hip-hop onto a record? ’Cause it was a whole gig, you know? How you gon’ put three hours on a record? Bam! They made “Rapper’s Delight.” And the ironic twist is not how long that record was, but how short it was. I’m thinking, “Man, they cut that shit down to fifteen minutes?” It was a miracle.2 MC Chuck D [“Rapper’s Delight”] is a disco record with rapping on it. So we could do that. We were trying to make a buck.3 Richard Taninbaum (percussion) As early as May of 1979, Billboard magazine noted the growing popularity of “rapping DJs” performing live for clubgoers at New York City’s black discos.4 But it was not until September of the same year that the trend gar- nered widespread attention, with the release of the Sugarhill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight,” a fifteen-minute track powered by humorous party rhymes and a relentlessly funky bass line that took the country by storm and introduced a national audience to rap.

  • SIR 371 Chapel of Love Vocal By: Tony Oxendine Release Date: Vinyl, MP3 and CD – 2009 / 07
    SIR 371 Chapel Of Love vocal by: Tony Oxendine Release Date: Vinyl, MP3 and CD – 2009 / 07 Singing Call MS-67 ORIGINAL MUSIC DETAILS: WRITERS: Jeff Barry, Phil Spect or & Ellie Greenwich Hanhurst’s Best Seller listing (July 2009) – No.3 PUBLISHERS: Trio Music Company Inc. EMI Blackwood Music Inc. OBO Mother Original artist: The Dixie Cups Bertha Music Inc. Universal – Songs of Polygram International Inc. Abkco Music Inc. This song, which was previoulsy released by The Ronettes and The Blossoms, was made famous by The Dixie Cups in 1964, spending three weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 (displacing “Love Me Do” by the Beatles). The song tells of the happiness and excitement the narrator feels on her wedding day, for she and her love are going to the "chapel of love," and "we'll never be lonely anymore.". The song was ranked #279 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time! With the help of Doug Bennett, who provided the muisc for this release (see below) we managed to give this track an orchestral sound reminiscent of the way that it would have originally been performed. To make it “Square-Dance-able” we had to speed it up a little, so it becomes a “ballad” with a “faster feel”; somewhat unusual but – in the final analysis – quite effective. The sentiment of the song is quite beautiful and the track builds to a terrific crescendo that should make it a “crowd pleasing - showtune”! Additional Lyrics: Where, When and Who produced the music: Goin' to the chapel - and we're gonna get ma-a-arried I am very happy to tell you that the music for this release was Goin' to the chapel - and we're gonna get ma-a-arried created and recorded – as a special commission – by our very Gee, I really love you - and we're gonna get ma-a-arried good friend Doug Bennett of Global Music Productions.

  • Why Hip Hop Began in the Bronx- Lecture for C-Span
    Fordham University DigitalResearch@Fordham Occasional Essays Bronx African American History Project 10-28-2019 Why Hip Hop Began in the Bronx- Lecture for C-Span Mark Naison Follow this and additional works at: https://fordham.bepress.com/baahp_essays Part of the African American Studies Commons, American Popular Culture Commons, Cultural History Commons, and the Ethnomusicology Commons Why Hip Hop Began in the Bronx- My Lecture for C-Span What I am about to describe to you is one of the most improbable and inspiring stories you will ever hear. It is about how young people in a section of New York widely regarded as a site of unspeakable violence and tragedy created an art form that would sweep the world. It is a story filled with ironies, unexplored connections and lessons for today. And I am proud to share it not only with my wonderful Rock and Roll to Hip Hop class but with C-Span’s global audience through its lectures in American history series. Before going into the substance of my lecture, which explores some features of Bronx history which many people might not be familiar with, I want to explain what definition of Hip Hop that I will be using in this talk. Some people think of Hip Hop exclusively as “rap music,” an art form taken to it’s highest form by people like Tupac Shakur, Missy Elliot, JZ, Nas, Kendrick Lamar, Wu Tang Clan and other masters of that verbal and musical art, but I am thinking of it as a multilayered arts movement of which rapping is only one component.

  • Outsiders' Music: Progressive Country, Reggae
    CHAPTER TWELVE: OUTSIDERS’ MUSIC: PROGRESSIVE COUNTRY, REGGAE, SALSA, PUNK, FUNK, AND RAP, 1970s Chapter Outline I. The Outlaws: Progressive Country Music A. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, mainstream country music was dominated by: 1. the slick Nashville sound, 2. hardcore country (Merle Haggard), and 3. blends of country and pop promoted on AM radio. B. A new generation of country artists was embracing music and attitudes that grew out of the 1960s counterculture; this movement was called progressive country. 1. Inspired by honky-tonk and rockabilly mix of Bakersfield country music, singer-songwriters (Bob Dylan), and country rock (Gram Parsons) 2. Progressive country performers wrote songs that were more intellectual and liberal in outlook than their contemporaries’ songs. 3. Artists were more concerned with testing the limits of the country music tradition than with scoring hits. 4. The movement’s key artists included CHAPTER TWELVE: OUTSIDERS’ MUSIC: PROGRESSIVE COUNTRY, REGGAE, SALSA, PUNK, FUNK, AND RAP, 1970s a) Willie Nelson, b) Kris Kristopherson, c) Tom T. Hall, and d) Townes Van Zandt. 5. These artists were not polished singers by conventional standards, but they wrote distinctive, individualist songs and had compelling voices. 6. They developed a cult following, and progressive country began to inch its way into the mainstream (usually in the form of cover versions). a) “Harper Valley PTA” (1) Original by Tom T. Hall (2) Cover version by Jeannie C. Riley; Number One pop and country (1968) b) “Help Me Make It through the Night” (1) Original by Kris Kristofferson (2) Cover version by Sammi Smith (1971) C.
