  • About the Artists
    Contact: Michael Caprio, 702-658-6691 [email protected] Golden Slumbers is committed to creating projects that bring families together ABOUT THE ARTISTS MICHAEL MCDONALD This five-time Grammy winner is one of the most unmistakable voices in music, singing hits for three decades. His husky soulful baritone debuted 30 years ago, famously revitalizing the Doobie Brothers with "Takin' it to the Streets," "What a Fool Believes," and "Minute by Minute”. He went onto a distinguished solo career including duets with such R&B greats as James Ingram and Patti Labelle. Michael released the Grammy nominated Motown in 2003, selling over 1.3 million copies, followed by Motown 2, released in October 2004. PHIL COLLINS One of the music industry’s rock legends, Collins played drums, sang, wrote and arranged songs, played sessions, and helped Genesis become one of the leading lights in the Progressive rock field. After numerous solo hits and Platinum-selling albums, Walt Disney studios asked him in to compose the songs to their animated feature "Tarzan," and the sin- gle, "You'll be in my Heart," was a major hit which earned him the prestigious Academy, Grammy and Golden Globe Awards. He is currently working on three new Disney projects. With a new album in the pipeline, and a continued interest in all aspects of his past, Phil Collins has proved that there is no substitute for talent. SMOKEY ROBINSON Entering his fourth decade as a singer, songwriter and producer, this velvet-voiced crooner began his career as a founding Motown executive, and frontman for the Miracles.

    SWEET SOUL MUSIC REVUE A Change Is Gonna Come It is August 1955 in Mississippi and a 14-year-old African American, Emmet Louis Till, is being dragged out of his bed by white men. They brutally torture and then drown the boy, because Emmet had whistled at the white village beauty queen and called Bye, bye babe after her. The court acquits the murderers. On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks, an elderly African American lady, refuses to give up her seat on a bus to a white man. She is arrested and taken to court for violating segregation laws. These events in 1955 mark the beginning of the African American Civil Rights Movement, which will grow into a proud political force under the leadership of Dr. Martin Luther King. By 1968 it will have put an end to arbitrary injustice caused by racial segregation in the U.S. There have been times that I thought I couldn‘t last for long / But now I think I‘m able to carry on / It‘s been a long time coming, but I know a change is gonna come – This soul anthem, composed by Sam Cooke in 1963, speaks of the hope for change during these times. Sam himself had been arrested for offences against the laws relating to civil disorders and rioting, because he and his band had tried to check in to a “whites only” motel. Closely linked to the Civil Rights Movement, soul music delivers the soundtrack for this period of political change and upheaval in the United States.

  • Interview with LINCOLN MAYORGA Was Conducted by the Library of Congress on July 14, 2015
    This interview with LINCOLN MAYORGA was conducted by the Library of Congress on July 14, 2015. Lincoln Mayorga LOC: In an online narrative you wrote about the creation of Sheffield Lab, you mention that “one afternoon in 1959” you and Doug Sax went to Electrovox studios. Had you done research and scoped out that facility prior to your visit? LM: I had been there before in 1955 with a singer for some demos so I was aware of the place. It looked like an old-time radio studio—which is what it was. Equipment from the 1930s and 40s. It had had the same ownership since 1931. We [LM and Doug Sax] had been speculating about what went on with tape recording. It occurred to us that if one went direct to disc we could bypass the negative qualities of tape. And that dawned on me one day when we were in the neighborhood. The studio had not changed in decades. We went in, they were not busy, they were delighted to to talk to us. We asked them if they would let us cut a demo disc but NOT the way they normally would, but record directly to their cutting system. Their equipment was amazingly well preserved, though antique. The microphones were RCA ribbon microphones, one-time broadcast standard. Their lathe was from the age of early talking pictures, around 1929. So, without much ado, we cut a disc. When we were done, I didn’t want to play it on their equipment. I thought their tone arm was too heavy and I didn’t want to do damage to the disc.

  • Kenny G Bio 2018
    A phenomenally successful instrumentalist whose recordings routinely made the pop, R&B, and jazz charts during the 1980s and ’90s, Kenny G‘s sound became a staple on adult contemporary and smooth jazz radio stations. He’s a fine player with an attractive sound (influenced a bit by Grover Washington, Jr.) who often caresses melodies, putting a lot of emotion into his solos. Because he does not improvise much (sticking mostly to predictable melody statements), his music largely falls outside of jazz. However, because he is listed at the top of “contemporary jazz” charts and is identified with jazz in the minds of the mass public, he is classified as jazz. Kenny Gorelick started playing professionally with Barry White‘s Love Unlimited Orchestra in 1976. He recorded with Cold, Bold & Together (a Seattle-based funk group) and freelanced locally. After graduating from the University of Washington, Kenny G worked with Jeff Lorber Fusion, making two albums with the group. Soon he was signed to Arista, recording his debut as a leader in 1982. His fourth album, Duotones(which included the very popular “Songbird”), made him into a star. Soon he was in demand for guest appearances on recordings of such famous singers as Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, and Natalie Cole. Kenny G’s own records have sold remarkably well, particularly Breathless, which has easily topped eight million copies in the U.S.; his total album sales top 30 million copies. The holiday album Miracles, released in 1994, and 1996’s Moment continued the momentum of his massive commercial success. He also recorded his own version of the Celine Dion/Titanic smash “My Heart Will Go On” in 1998, but the following year he released Classics in the Key of G, a collection of jazz standards like “‘Round Midnight” and “Body and Soul,” possibly to reclaim some jazz credibility.
