Sholes Elvis Presley Elvis Presley singles chronology I Want You, I Need You, I Love You (1 Don't Be Cruel (1956) - song, Recorded by Elvis Presley and written by Otis Blackwell in 1956. He was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2002. In 2004, he #197 in the list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time on the Rolling Stone list. Elvis Presley's record Don't Be Cruel was the first song that Presley's song publishers, Hill and Range, brought him for the record. that the hottest new singer around covered it. But, unfortunately, he has already sold the song for only 25 dollars, as he stated in an interview with the American songwriter. Freddie Bienstock, Presley's music publisher, gave the following explanation of why Elvis got a co-authored credit for songs like Don't Be Cruel. In the early days Elvis would show dissatisfaction with some lines and he would make changes, so it wasn't just what's known as the abbreviation. His name didn't appear after the first year. But if Elvis liked the song, the writers would have been offered a guarantee of a million records, and they would have given a third of their royalties to Elvis. Presley recorded the song on July 2, 1956, during an exhaustive recording at RCA Studios in New York. During this session, he also recorded Hound Dog and Any Way You Want Me. The song included Presley's regular band Scotty Moore on guitar (with Presley, usually providing rhythm guitar), Bill Black on bass, D.J. Fontana on drums and backing vocals from the Jordanaires. The producer's merit was given to Stephen H. Hole, although studio records show that Presley produced the songs at this session, choosing a song, reworking the arrangement on the piano and insisting on 28 takes before he was satisfied with it. He also ran through 31 dog-dog picks. The single was released on July 13, 1956, with the support of Hound Dog. In a few weeks, Hound Dog has risen to #2 pop charts with sales of more than a million. Shortly thereafter, he was overtaken by Don't Be Cruel. Ranked #1 on all three main charts. Pop, Country and R 'n' B. both songs remained on the #1 in the pop chart for 11 weeks tying it with the 1950 Anton Karas hit Third Man Theme and johnny ray's 1951/1952 hit Cry for the longest stint at number one on a single record from late 1950 to 1992 to smash End of the Way Boyz II Men. By the end of 1956, more than four million copies had been sold. Billboard ranked it number 2 in 1956. Presley performed Don't Be Cruel during all three of his appearances on the Ed Sullivan show in September 1956 and January 1957. In the UK it remained a B-side, but was posthumously a hit in its own right, reaching #24 the singles chart in 1978. Legacy Don't Be Cruel became Presley's best-selling single recorded in 1956, with sales of more than six million by 1961. It became a regular feature of his live sets until his death in 1977, and was often combined with Jailhouse Rock or Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear during performances from 1969. Staff Elvis Presley - vocals, drums Scotty Moore - lead guitar Bill Black - bassist D.J. Fontana - drums Shorty Long - piano Jordanaires (Gordon Stocker, Neil Matthews, Hoyt Hawkins, Hugh Jarrett) - backing vocals The band recorded a laid-back version during the massive sessions of 1969 Get Back, but it was never released. However, ex-Beatles John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Pete Best and former members of Lennon's band the zuarrymen, as well as Tony Sheridan all later recorded versions of him. Other versions of many other artists including Connie Francis (1959, Rock and Roll Million Sellers), Annette Peacock, Barbara Lynn (1963, Jamie #1244 45 rpm, #93 on Hot 100), Bill Black's Combo, Billy Swan, Devo, Cheap Trick, Duffy Duck, Mergard Hag, Jerry Lewis, Neil Diamond, and Jackie Wilson recorded the song. Presley is said to have been so impressed with Wilson's version that he later incorporated many of Wilson's manners into future performances. Debbie Harry recorded the song for the tribute album Otis Blackwell Brace Yourself! Tribute to Otis Blackwell. The cover of American country music duo The Judds peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in 1987. The version of this song Cheap Trick reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1988. Jonathan Rhys Meyers singed the original version of the song in an Elvis scene where she performs at the Jacksonville Theatre.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 435 403 IR 057 553 AUTHOR Halliday, Blane TITLE An Examination of Essential Popular Music Compact Disc Holdings at the Cleveland Public Library. PUB DATE 1999-05-00 NOTE 94p.; Master's Research Paper, Kent State University. Information Science. Appendices may not reproduce adequately. PUB TYPE Dissertations/Theses (040) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC04 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Audiodisks; Discographies; *Library Collection Development; *Library Collections; *Optical Disks; *Popular Music; *Public Libraries; Research Libraries; Tables (Data) IDENTIFIERS *Cleveland Public Library OH ABSTRACT In the 1970s and early 1980s, a few library researchers and scholars made a case for the importance of public libraries' acquisition of popular music, particularly rock music sound recordings. Their arguments were based on the anticipated historical and cultural importance of obtaining and maintaining a collection of these materials. Little new research in this direction has been performed since then. The question arose as to what, if anything, has changed since this time. This question was answered by examining the compact disc holdings of the Cleveland Public Library, a major research-oriented facility. This examination was accomplished using three discographies of essential rock music titles, as well as recent "Billboard" Top 200 Album charts. The results indicated a strong orientation toward the acquisition of recent releases, with the "Billboard" charts showing the largest percentages of holdings for the system. Meanwhile, the holdings vis-a-vis the essential discographies ran directly opposite the "Billboard" holdings. This implies a program of short-term patron satisfaction by providing current "hits," while disregarding the long-term benefits of a collection based on demonstrated artistic relevance.

    Clifford Antone Musician, entrepreneur, and nightclub owner, b. October 27, 1949, Port Arthur, Texas, son of Jamal and Georgette Ashy Antone; d. May 23, 2006, Austin, Texas. Clifford Antone is perhaps best known for founding the legendary Austin club, Antone’s, in 1975. This popular venue became a Mecca for blues artists and fans throughout the world and played a key role in establishing Austin’s vibrant live music scene. Through his nightclub, Antone not only helped reinvigorate the careers of such veteran artists as B.B. King, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, James Cotton, and Pinetop Perkins, but he also helped launch the careers of numerous younger artists, including Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Sue Foley, Carolyn Wonderland, Gary Clark, Jr., Eve Monsees, and others. A remarkably diverse array of musicians, among them Doug Sahm, Marcia Ball, Johnny Gimble, Bonnie Raitt, John Lee Hooker, Shawn Colvin, Bono, Lucinda Williams, Otis Rush, Fats Domino, Lou Ann Barton, Joe Ely, Clarence ‘Gatemouth’ Brown, W.C. Clark, Albert Collins, Denny Freeman, Reckless Kelly, Delbert McClinton, Jimmy Reed, Lavelle White, Albert King, Paul Ray and the Cobras, Derek O’Brien, Angela Strehli, and Bob Schneider, have performed at Antone’s over the years. Born and raised in the upper Texas Gulf Coast’s ‘Golden Triangle’ region, Clifford Antone absorbed a wide variety of musical influences from an early age, including blues, R&B, soul, gospel, Cajun, zydeco, honky tonk, and swamp pop. As a teenager, Antone began to frequent live music venues along the Interstate-10 corridor connecting East Texas with southwestern Louisiana.
