Yahoo! Music and Gracenote Present Song Lyrics from U2, Prince, the Beatles, Elvis Presley, Kanye West, Radiohead and More Yahoo! Music and Gracenote Present Song Lyrics from U2, Prince, The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Kanye West, Radiohead and More Gracenote Features Song Lyrics from All Five Major Music Publishers, Creating the Largest Free, Legal Song Lyrics Service for Consumers SANTA MONICA, Calif. & EMERYVILLE, Calif., Apr 24, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Yahoo! Music (NASDAQ: YHOO) and Gracenote(R) today announced a new licensing deal allowing Yahoo! Music to offer the largest catalog of legal, licensed song lyrics from Gracenote to Yahoo! Music's consumers. Beginning today, song lyrics for hundreds of thousands of songs from all five major publishers will be incorporated into Yahoo! Music through Gracenote's growing database. The agreement with Gracenote makes Yahoo! Music the first mass-market Web service to make licensed song lyrics available to consumers. Through the agreement, consumers can search for song lyrics from the Yahoo! Music Search bar, simply by entering even a partial lyric from the song. Consumers will have viewing access to lyrics from nearly 100 music publishers, including the top five: BMG Music Publishing, EMI Music Publishing, Sony/ATV Music Publishing, Universal Music Publishing Group, Warner/Chappell Music, and dozens of prominent independent publishers. The addition of a comprehensive lyrics library complements existing Yahoo! Music products and services such as radio, music videos and on-demand music offerings, while reaffirming Yahoo! Music's reputation for providing its consumers with the most innovative, robust and complete music experience on the Web. "You mean Bob Dylan isn't actually saying 'The ants, my friend, are in a bowling pin?'" asks Ian Rogers, general manager of Yahoo! Music. "Finally, a free, legal and definitive way to settle a bet with the guy sitting next to you at the bar who is certain the Ramones' most famous anthem declares, 'I wanna piece of bacon.'" Gracenote began developing its Lyrics program more than two years ago, with the goal of building the first and most comprehensive database of legal, accurate song lyrics for consumers. The deal between Yahoo! Music and Gracenote is an important step toward enhancing the digital music experience of the consumer while protecting the legal and artistic rights of songwriters and music publishers. "Song lyrics are continually among the top 10 searches performed on major search engines, though the results often provide consumers a frustrating experience filled with inconsistent and incomplete lyrics, and annoying pop-ups," said Craig Palmer, president and chief executive officer of Gracenote. "With Gracenote and Yahoo!, consumers will have access to the largest database of high quality lyrics linked directly to the rich album and artist content available throughout Yahoo! Music." Gracenote Lyrics are integrated into Yahoo! Music in three unique ways: -- Yahoo! Music Search - Consumers can search for lyrics from the Yahoo! Music Search box and receive highlighted links that take them directly to Yahoo! Music and the lyrics they want. -- Yahoo! Music Artist Pages - Each Artist section within Yahoo! Music offers a lyrics page, allowing users to easily browse all song lyrics for that artist. -- Yahoo! Music Top Songs - Consumers can quickly find lyrics for the most popular music today. -- Yahoo! Search - Yahoo! will be adding lyrics to its index, allowing users to search for and find lyrics from any Yahoo! Search box. -- Yahoo! Audio Search - Yahoo! users will soon be able to find links to lyrics pages through Yahoo! Audio Search, which helps consumers find music from a wide range of services, as well as non-music audio files from across the web. Audio Search will also provide the technology that will allow users to search for songs by typing in snippets of lyrics to find matching song titles. About Yahoo! Music Yahoo!

  • Canadian Beatles Albums Identification Guide Updated: 22 De 16
    Canadian Beatles Albums Identification Guide Updated: 22 De 16 Type 1 Rainbow Label Capitol Capitol Records of Canada contracted Beatlemania long before their larger and better-known counterpart to the south. Canadian Capitol's superior decision-making brought Beatles records to Canada in early 1963. After experimenting with the release of a few singles, Capitol was eager to release the Beatles' second British album in Canada. Sources differ as to the release date of the LP, but surely by December 2, 1963, Canada's version of With the Beatles became the first North American Beatles album. Capitol-USA and Capitol-Canada were negotiating the consolidation of their releases, but the US release of The Beatles' Second Album had a title and contained songs that were inappropriate for Canadian release. After a third unique Canadian album, album and single releases were unified. From Something New on, releases in the two countries were nearly identical, although Capitol-Canada continued to issue albums in mono only. At the time when Beatlemania With the Beatles came out, most Canadian pop albums were released in the "6000 Series." The label style in 1963 was a rainbow label, similar to the label used in the United States but with print around the rim of the label that read, "Mfd. in Canada by Capitol Records of Canada, Ltd. Registered User. Copyrighted." Those albums which were originally issued on this label style are: Title Catalog Number Beatlemania With the Beatles T-6051 (mono) Twist and Shout T-6054 (mono) Long Tall Sally T-6063 (mono) Something New T-2108 (mono) Beatles' Story TBO-2222 (mono) Beatles '65 T-2228 (mono) Beatles '65 ST-2228 (stereo) Beatles VI (mono) T-2358 Beatles VI (stereo) ST-2358 NOTE: In 1965, shortly before the release of Beatles VI, Capitol-Canada began to release albums in both mono and stereo.

  • MTO 11.4: Spicer, Review of the Beatles As Musicians
    Volume 11, Number 4, October 2005 Copyright © 2005 Society for Music Theory Mark Spicer Received October 2005 [1] As I thought about how best to begin this review, an article by David Fricke in the latest issue of Rolling Stone caught my attention.(1) Entitled “Beatles Maniacs,” the article tells the tale of the Fab Faux, a New York-based Beatles tribute group— founded in 1998 by Will Lee (longtime bassist for Paul Schaffer’s CBS Orchestra on the Late Show With David Letterman)—that has quickly risen to become “the most-accomplished band in the Beatles-cover business.” By painstakingly learning their respective parts note-by-note from the original studio recordings, the Fab Faux to date have mastered and performed live “160 of the 211 songs in the official canon.”(2) Lee likens his group’s approach to performing the Beatles to “the way classical musicians start a chamber orchestra to play Mozart . as perfectly as we can.” As the Faux’s drummer Rich Pagano puts it, “[t]his is the greatest music ever written, and we’re such freaks for it.” [2] It’s been over thirty-five years since the real Fab Four called it quits, and the group is now down to two surviving members, yet somehow the Beatles remain as popular as ever. Hardly a month goes by, it seems, without something new and Beatle-related appearing in the mass media to remind us of just how important this group has been, and continues to be, in shaping our postmodern world. For example, as I write this, the current issue of TV Guide (August 14–20, 2005) is a “special tribute” issue commemorating the fortieth anniversary of the Beatles’ sold-out performance at New York’s Shea Stadium on August 15, 1965—a concert which, as the magazine notes, marked the “dawning of a new era for rock music” where “[v]ast outdoor shows would become the superstar standard.”(3) The cover of my copy—one of four covers for this week’s issue, each featuring a different Beatle—boasts a photograph of Paul McCartney onstage at the Shea concert, his famous Höfner “violin” bass gripped in one hand as he waves to the crowd with the other.

  • The Beatles and the Crisis of Self-Identity
    Sosland Journal 77 THE BEATLES AND THE CRISIS OF SELF-IDENTITY Jared Gutzmer “Ringo- a lovely performer. George- a mystical unre- alized talent. But John and Paul, Saints John and Paul, were, and made, and aureoled and beatifi ed and eternalized the concept that shall always be known, remembered and deeply loved as The Beatles” -Leonard Bernstein The Beatles are one of the most popular bands of all time. This is an undisputed fact no matter the location. They were so popular that in America, they had to stop touring due to the screaming fans which caused the band not to be able to hear themselves. Never before was there a group that was so incredibly popular in history. This popularity and other fac- tors led the members of the Beatles to change as individuals and as a group as they matured musically and mentally. Their identity shifted from a group identity to a self-identity. From the Beatles fi rst album, Please Please Me, to their last, Let It Be, the shift in their identity can be seen through their music and the appearances that led to individualism and eventually their downfall. 78 Sosland Journal The Music “It would not seem quite so likely that the accompany- ing fever known as Beatlemania will also be success- fully exported. On this side of the Atlantic it is dazed stuff.” -Jack Gould, New York Times television critic The Beatles music and lyrics changed drastically from their fi rst to last album due to adapting to a changing soci- ety, musical maturity, and their increased popularity.

    1 SUING THE BEATLES AND OTHERS: PERILS AND PRECEDENTS OF CELEBRITY LAWSUITS PRESENTED TO THE SXSW CONFERENCE CLE PROGRAM MARCH 2016 BY STAN SOOCHER, ESQ. Denver, Colorado Editor-in-Chief, Entertainment Law & Finance Author, Baby You’re a Rich Man: Suing The Beatles for Fun & Profit Associate Professor, Music & Entertainment Industry Studies University of Colorado Denver Campus Box 162, P.O. Box 173364 Denver, CO 80217-3364 303-556-4066 [email protected] www.stansoocher.com Celebrities, with deep pockets and media spotlights, are natural lightning rods for litigation. The Beatles were a prime example of artists suing and being sued. The band’s most important legacy, of course, was their music, and influence on cultural and sociological changes. But few celebrities encountered as many legal disputes as did the Beatles. Many of the legal issues the Beatles faced were forerunners for today’s music industry. From early issues with crowd control as Beatlemania took hold in the United Kingdom in 1963 and the United States in 1964, to disputes over merchandising, management, intra-band rights, sound recordings, music publishing, copyright infringement, immigration, taxes and more, the Beatles faced—and continued to face long after they broke up—an array of issues that reflected where the music industry was headed. My recent book Baby You’re a Rich Man: Suing The Beatles for Fun & Profit (ForeEdge/University Press of New England) takes a close-up, investigative look at some of these concerns, as did a chapter from a prior book I wrote, They Fought the Law: Rock Music Goes to Court, that focused on the Beatles’ long-running music royalty battle with Capitol-EMI Records.

I am Georgiana, founder of speakenglishpodcast.com. My mission is to help you speak English fluently. Today I’ll talk about the most famous band in the world. The Beatles! And you’ll practice your speaking with a funny mini-story. Have you ever listened to The Beatles? Actually, let me rephrase that. When was the first time you listened to a Beatles song? The Beatles are probably the most popular band in the history of music. They are considered by many to be the best band on Earth. The band was undoubtedly the most successful, with global sales exceeding 1.1 bil- lion records. They were initially famous for their light pop music, although their later works achieved a combination of popular and critical acclaim perhaps unprecedented in the 20th century. Beatlemania began in the UK and exploded after The Beatles appeared on a popular TV show in the US in 1964. The band became a worldwide phenomenon with adoring fans and hysterical adulation. The members of the group were John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, all from England. John Lennon was a singer-songwriter and peace activist who co-found- ed The Beatles. Paul McCartney is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and com- poser. He has gained worldwide fame as a bassist and singer. George Harrison was a musician, singer-songwriter, music and film pro- ducer who achieved international fame as The Beatles' lead guitarist.
