  • How Jews Became Sexy, 1968–1983
    Acting Jewish: Negotiating Ethnicity on the American Stage and Screen Henry Bial http://www.press.umich.edu/titleDetailDesc.do?id=147187 The University of Michigan Press chapter 4 How Jews Became Sexy, 1968–1983 “What’s a nice Jewish girl like me doing on the cover of Playboy?” This caption appears, self-referentially enough, on the cover of Playboy’s October 1977 issue,1 which features a photograph of Barbra Streisand, wearing white shorts and a T-shirt emblazoned with the Playboy logo, reclining across the bottom half of a large white circle; Streisand’s extended left leg forms a line that transforms the circle into a Q, which presumably refers to the questions she will answer in what the leading headline bills as: “THE FIRST IN-DEPTH INTERVIEW WITH BARBRA STREISAND.” The caption (“What’s a nice Jewish girl . .”) appears suspended above and to the right of Streisand’s head, evoking a cartoon-style thought bubble. The location of the caption and the use of the ‹rst person (“like me”) suggests that this is a question that Streisand is asking herself. Yet perhaps there is a more interesting ques- tion: why has Playboy, the self-appointed arbiter of feminine sexual attractiveness, chosen to feature “a nice Jewish girl” on its cover? How did Streisand become, in fact, “the ‹rst female celebrity in 24 years” to pose for the magazine’s cover?2 In March of 1962, ‹fteen years prior to her Playboy appearance, Streisand made her Broadway debut as Miss Marmelstein in Jerome Weidman and Harold Rome’s I Can Get It for You Wholesale.

    Empirical Musicology Review Vol. 10, No. 3, 2015 “The Times They Were A-Changin’”: A Database-Driven Approach to the Evolution of Harmonic Syntax in Popular Music from the 1960s HUBERT LÉVEILLÉ GAUVIN [1] Schulich School of Music, McGill University ABSTRACT: The goal of this research is to investigate the pitch structures of popular music in the 1960s through a large corpus study in order to identify any consistent changes in harmonic and tonal syntax. More specifically, two studies based on the Billboard DataSet (Burgoyne, Wild & Fujinaga, 2011; Burgoyne, 2011), a new corpus presenting transcriptions for more than 700 songs, are presented. The first study looks at the incidence of multi-tonic songs throughout the decade, while the second study focuses on the incidence of flat-side harmonies (e.g. bIII, bVI, and bVII) over the same period of time. While no difference was observed in the frequency of multi-tonic songs, the study showed a significant increase in the incidence of flat-side harmonies during the second half of the decade. Submitted 2014 September 16; accepted 2015 April 9. KEYWORDS: popular music, corpus, Billboard, harmony, modulation IN January 1964 Bob Dylan released “The Times They Are A-Changin,” a politically-charged protest song encouraging changes in American society. Indeed the 1960s were a time of great political, but also sociological and cultural changes, accompanied by equally important developments in popular music. Many music scholars have addressed the attitudinal shift associated with this period, noting that “[r]ock musicians no longer aspire[d] so much to be professionals and craftspeople” but “artists” (Covach, 2006, p.

  • People”—Barbra Streisand (1964) Added to the National Registry: 2016 Essay by Gwendolyn Thompkins (Guest Post)*
    “People”—Barbra Streisand (1964) Added to the National Registry: 2016 Essay by Gwendolyn Thompkins (guest post)* Original album cover Label Barbra Streisand Anne Bancroft said no. That’s how Barbra Streisand came to play the lead in the 1964 Broadway musical “Funny Girl.” And that’s how the world got to know “People”--a show-stopping ballad in the play’s first act. Streisand sang other, bolder delights from the original score--“I’m the Greatest Star,” “Don’t Rain on My Parade,” “The Music That Makes Me Dance.” But the number most everyone remembers is “People.” Or, more specifically, most everyone remembers the song’s peculiar opening and closing counsel: “People, who need people, are the luckiest people in the world….” Composer Jule Styne once asked lyricist Bob Merrill what the words to the song meant. “I don’t know,’’ Merrill reportedly said. “But it sounds good.” More importantly, it sounds like Streisand--romantic, thoughtful, intense. “People” reflects her glorious voice--nimble and, yes, buttery--capable of beguiling intimacies and grand jetés of feeling. Styne wrote the music with Streisand in mind, saying, “I must have this voice!” And Merrill’s words, no matter how enigmatic, captured a universal truth about the human condition that Streisand (after she also inquired about the lyric) knew how to communicate. “People” was bespoke of the highest order. The song fit her perfectly because it was tailored that way. So was the rest of the “Funny Girl” score. And the Tony Award-winning Bancroft likely knew that when she reportedly said, “It’s not for me.” Even as a teenager, Streisand’s voice seemed to have sprung fully-formed from some distant star.

  • Interview with BARBRA STREISAND Was Conducted by the Library of Congress on April 11, 2019
    This interview with BARBRA STREISAND was conducted by the Library of Congress on April 11, 2019 Barbra Streisand Library of Congress: “People” was your fourth album. When you went into the studio to record it, did you approach it differently than your previous collections? Did you want to bring something to these sessions that you hadn’t done before? Barbra Streisand: It was different in one significant way. The songs on my first three albums basically came from the material I’d been performing live in clubs and concerts. For the “People” album, the only song I knew was “People” which I’d been singing every night on Broadway. For the rest of the album, I was back to square one, looking for new material like I did when I was 18 years old. I loved discovering hidden gems from overlooked musicals. “Don’t Like Goodbyes” came from Harold Arlen and Truman Capote’s “House of Flowers.” The show got mixed reviews and didn’t run very long, but I loved the score. (I also found “I Never Has Seen Snow” from that show, as well as my favorite, “A Sleepin’ Bee”). “How Does the Wine Taste” came from a musical that closed in Philadelphia called ”We Take the Town,” and Irving Berlin’s “Supper Time” came from one of his lesser-known musicals, “As Thousands Cheer.” In those days we worked fast! It was typical for artists to record two albums per year. I’d listen to the playbacks and pick the best takes. If there were mistakes, or if the tempo felt too fast or slow…too bad…you were basically out of time, because there was always someone watching the clock! The songs on “People” were recorded in about four days… we did three or four songs in a three- hour session…so that’s 12 hours to make an album! With all the technology today, my last album called “Walls” took almost12 months! Thank God I was only 22 years old and had boundless energy, because I had two jobs--my “day job” was rehearsing and recording the album, and my “night job” was playing Fanny Brice on Broadway.

  • BLACKNESS in DONALD GLOVER's ATLANTA Sierriana Terry a Thesi
    “BLACK ATLANTA”: MUSICAL COUNTERNARRATIVES OF “AUTHENTIC” BLACKNESS IN DONALD GLOVER’S ATLANTA Sierriana Terry A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Musicology in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Aaron Harcus Andrea Bohlman Michael Figueroa © 2018 Sierriana Terry ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Sierriana Terry: “Black Atlanta”: Musical Counternarratives of “Authentic” Blackness in Donald Glover’s Atlanta (Under the direction of Aaron Harcus) What does it mean to be black in the post-Obama era? Donald Glover’s televisionseries Atlanta can be seen as an attempt to answer this question, but for whom? Atlanta represents a farcical approach to confronting the policed-hegemonic ideology behind the ideas and conceptions of “authentic blackness” both sonically and visually. I argue that Atlanta’s visual exploration of blackness and satirical critiques of U.S. black life, coupled with its extensive use of U.S. black popular music (especially Atlanta-based hip-hop), produces a black soundscape that counters and deconstructs policed ideologies of “authentic” black culture. Using the proposed methodological frameworks of the post-soul aesthetic, black post-blackness, and troubling vision, I will examine how Atlanta provides its audience with an understanding and view of the world from a black perspective. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my thesis advisor, Aaron Harcus, for his guidance over the course of this project. He helped me to work out what I wanted to say and offered a much-needed perspective and provided encouragement throughout.

  • Isaac Bashevis Singer's “Yentl, the Yeshiva Boy”
    Isaac Bashevis Singer’s “Yentl, the Yeshiva Boy” A GREAT JEWISH BOOKS TEACHER WORKSHOP RESOURCE KIT Teachers’ Guide This guide accompanies resources that can be found at: http://www.teachgreatjewishbooks.org/resource-kits/isaac-bashevis- singers-yentl-yeshiva-boy. Introduction Isaac Bashevis Singer was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1978. His stories and novels, written in Yiddish, have been translated more widely and into more languages than any other Yiddish text. One of his most famous short stories, “Yentl, the Yeshiva Boy,” is also well-known because of its (loose) film adaptation Yentl, starring, co-written, and co-produced by Barbra Streisand in 1983. The story appeared in English translation in 1962, a year before it was published in the original Yiddish. The tale of a young woman who dresses as a man in order to study in a yeshiva, “Yentl” explores questions of identity, sexuality, and gender. Singer was controversial and famous—some would say infamous—for such stories of transgression. This resource kit allows teachers and students to understand the differences between the Yiddish story and the English translation, and between Singer’s story and Streisand’s film. The kit discusses religious and personal desires, and invites students to explore the differences between Eastern European and American Jewish cultures. Cover image: The script cover for the 1974 play adaptation of Yentl the Yeshiva Boy, by Isaac Bashevis Singer and Leah Napolin. Image accessed on Royal Books, March 7, 2019. Subjects Fiction, Film, Gender, Marriage, Religion, Sexuality, Yiddish, Translation Reading and Background The story “Yentl der yeshive-bokher” first appeared in the Yiddish literary journal Di goldene keyt in 1963.
