  • A Review of Famous Songs of the Past 'Fascinating Facts' July 2020
    A Review of Famous Songs of the Past ‘Fascinating Facts’ July 2020 Track 1 It’s Now Or Never A song recorded by Elvis Presley in 1960. The melody of the song is adapted from the Italian 'O Sole Mio", but the inspiration for it came from the song, "There's No Tomorrow" recorded by U.S. singer, Tony Martin, in 1949. In the late 1950s, while stationed in Germany with the U.S. Army, Presley heard Martin's recording. He told his music publisher about the song. He found songwriters, Schroeder and Gold, who wrote the lyrics in half an hour. Selling more than 20 million records, the song became number one in countries all around the world and was Presley's best selling single ever and it was written in half an hour! Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was one of the most popular American singers of the 20th century. A cultural icon, he is commonly known by the single name Elvis. He is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King". Born in Tupelo, Mississippi, Presley moved to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family at the age of 13. He began his career there in 1954, working with Sun Records owner Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African American music to a wider audience. His energized interpretations of songs, many from African American sources, and his uninhibited performance style made him enormously popular—and controversial. In November 1956, he made his film debut in Love Me Tender.

  • Memories from “CHITARRE ACUSTICHE D’ITALIA”

The Italian heritage of his father and grandfather and their love for music, drove Art into the music scene and inspired him to create, after more than 30 years of global success, a tribute album like this. This album is the story of Italian family memories and traditions. Below, Art Phillips explains the feelings and memories related to each track contained on the album. 1. Tra Veglia e Sonno (Between Wakefulness and Sleep) A piece I learnt from my father and grandfather in my very early years. They would play this every time they got together in my grandfathers kitchen with their guitar and mandolin, where live music would be an important part in our family life. Grandpa lived just around the corner from my home where our backyards connected, in fact he was also a carpenter and brick mason and built our home as well as all the other homes located around our block. Most of his children lived next door or just around the corner with connecting back yards. We would visit my grandpa and grandma each and every day, and there would not be many days in passing that my guitar wouldn’t join into the family’s musical moments.

  • Mark Your Calendar Board of Directors
    NEWSLETER OF THE ITALIAN FOLK ART FEDERATION OF AMERICA Editor: Jackie Capurro IFAFA Website: www.italian-american.com/ifafa VOLUME 26 2007 No. 1 PRESIDENT’S LETTER For those of you who are unaware, the IFAFA Board of Directors recently compiled a slate for the election of new offi- cers. I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself, and to enthusiastically and graciously accept the responsibilities of the office of President and CEO of IFAFA. My name is Mark DeSanctis. First and foremost, I’d like to take a moment to thank a few individuals. Paul Torna, for all of his hard work and dedica- tion to the IFAFA organization throughout his two terms as President. I don’t believe that Paul has gotten the credit he deserves for all of the behind-the-scenes work he has put in over the years. For that, he is truly appreciated. In addition, it also bears notice that two very important, long-term members of the IFAFA organization are stepping down from their duties as officers. Rose Giarrusso and Rita Tonitto, who have held the positions of Treasurer and Secretary respectively, are both resigning from their positions effective this year. We should all take a minute to show gratitude for their longev- ity, dedication, and devotion to the ultimate cause of IFAFA. I believe I speak on behalf of the entire membership when I say that I hope they’ll continue to provide us with their wisdom by remaining on the Board, for many years to come. Thank you to you both! And finally, before I get to the task at hand, a little bit about myself.

  • Series 139 Playland Phonograph
    Westchester County Archives Series 139 2199 Saw Mill River Road Elmsford, New York 10523 Playland Phonograph Collection (914) 231-1500 1911‐1970 (bulk late 1920s‐1950s) Playland Phonograph Collection, 1911-1970, bulk late 1920s-1950s Series 139 Approximately 650 phonographs. Unarranged. Phonographs – both 10 and 12 inch – played from the Playland Music Tower and possibly the Playland Ice Casino. The collection includes classical music as well as popular tunes, including some Hawaiian-themed music. The collection is divided into five parts – a set of numbered records; numbered and unnumbered album collections; loose phonographs, and phonographs that were housed in their original album jackets. The album jackets have Braille identification tags because the disc jockey who worked at the Playland Music Tower was blind. There are two different indexes on note cards for the phonograph albums, but neither one appears to be complete or clear as to its exact use. Therefore, a new index has been completed by Archives’ volunteers. Please note: The Archives does not have playback equipment necessary to listen to the phonographs that make up this collection. The five subseries of this collection can be more fully described as follows: 1. A set of numbered records. These phonographs have individual number labels on them and run up through number 998. Each individual phonograph has 2 numbers on it – one for each side. However, the collection is not complete and there are only about 350 individual phonographs in this group. They were originally housed in 39 cardboard cases that held several individual phonographs. Due to the poor condition of these cases they were disposed during processing, although the case number was recorded.
