  • Phila DJ Lee Jolles Obit 20120805
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Monday, August 5, 2012 Further Information See Contact on Page Two Doo-Wop DJ Lee, “Mister Lee” Jolles Dies; Philadelphia Businessman, Record Collector and Rock-and-Roll Group Harmony Expert Was Known Across U.S. From His Weekend Radio Show PHILADELPHIA -- Businessman, DJ, and doo-wop group harmony champion Lee, “Mister Lee” Bain Jolles, 66, died July 10th. A lifelong lover of the distinctly American rock-and-roll genre, Jolles owned a well-known Philadelphia cheesesteak eatery; headed the Philadelphia Group Harmony Association (PGHA) and produced sell-out oldies shows for the association for two decades. In 1986 he became DJ, “Mister Lee,” at a small Delaware Valley non-profit FM radio station whose weekend doo-wop listenership exploded coast to coast thanks to Internet streaming. Jolles’s funeral drew a “sellout” crowd of more than 500 persons, mourners who knew him from entertainment, radio, business, and listening to his 4-to-6 p.m. Saturday program on WRDV FM (streamed at WRDV.org) and the Live 365.com “Station PGHA” channel. Those Live 365 shows were recorded from his FM show and can still be heard today. Growing up in the golden age of rock n’ roll and group harmony, Jolles remembered being a nine-year-old elementary school student when Frankie Lymon’s, “Why Do Fools Fall in Love” was first released. “…it seemed that the whole school yard was on fire! I knew I found our own music,” according to autobiographical “liner notes” on the Live 365 PGHA channel. Jolles attended West Philadelphia’s John Bartram High, whose alumni include doo-wop luminaries Lee Andrews and the Hearts, Danny and the Juniors, Patti LaBelle, the Superiors, the Blendtones and Little Billy and the Essentials, and, according to Wikipedia, Solomon Burke.

  • Lady Marmalade”—Labelle (1974) Added to the National Registry: 2020 Essay by Adele Bertei (Guest Post)*
    “Lady Marmalade”—Labelle (1974) Added to the National Registry: 2020 Essay by Adele Bertei (guest post)* Labelle Labelle. Hear the name and most will immediately think of Patti LaBelle, diva supreme, but the story is far more profound than the connection suggests. Over the course of 16 years together, Nona Hendryx, Sarah Dash, and Patti LaBelle created a musical legacy unlike any other group before or since. Patti’s incredible voice led the way, undoubtedly. But it was Sarah Dash’s sweet soaring soprano, the deep resonance of Nona Hendryx’s voice and lyrical imagination, and the utopian vision of manager Vicki Wickham that would ultimately result in the creation of the Labellian cosmology--a map of sonic starlight. In 1962, Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles were a traditional girl group with a few minor hits. Ten years later, they dropped the girl group tropes and became Labelle, reinventing the role of Black women in popular music as bona fide rock stars in 1974. The torque accelerating their ascendancy was a song called “Lady Marmalade.” Co-written by Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan, “Lady Marmalade” is the story of a Creole sex worker strutting a solicitation--”Voulez vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?”--a phrase that became a French-language primer for every American in love with pop music. Any record company trepidation about presenting this brazen shout-out for Black women’s sexual agency to the listening world was extinguished by the undeniable brilliance of the recording. The song might not have been written by Labelle, but their delivery made it a worldwide sensation.

  • “Le Freak”—Chic (1978) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Cary O’Dell
    “Le Freak”—Chic (1978) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Cary O’Dell “Le Freak” 45 sleeve Original 45 label Nile Rodgers Inevitably, there seems to be a collective groan whenever that word is spoken. That word, of course, is “disco.” It is, without question the only musical genre to illicit such a response. No one smirks and recedes from “country” or “classical” or “folk.” It is also the only musical genre to ever have had its own made-to-order funeral: the public lambasting that was the famous—turned infamous—“Disco Sucks” Demolition Night held on July 12, 1979 at Comiskey Park in Chicago, Illinois. Yet, despite all the baggage attached to it, and despite the endless jokes, and the very bad fashion connected with it, the music of disco, itself, has actually aged remarkably well. And, in fact, it has never completely departed. Today, disco beats still rain down from the radio airwaves and steam upwards from the streets and meet on a million dance floors in between. It’s just that, today, instead of daring to utter the word “disco,” we hide these same grooves under euphemisms like “dance” music or “club” music. Founded, more or less, in 1976, the band known as Chic has survived, with some hiatuses, up to the present day. They have also existed in various incarnations with a wide assortment of musicians and singers coming and going over the years. At the time the group recorded their major hit “Le Freak,” however, the group consisted (in the studio, at least) of five members: Nile Rodgers, Bernard Edwards, Tony Thompson, Norman Jean Wright and Alfa Anderson.

  • Nona Hendryx & Nick Cave
    For Immediate Release 11 August 2017 Contact: Jodi Joseph Director of Communications 413.664.4481 x8113 [email protected] Nona Hendryx & Nick Cave Turn up the volume NORTH ADAMS, MASSACHUSETTS – Exhibiting artist Nick Cave teams up with legendary soul singer Nona Hendryx for an evening of music and art in the galleries and on stage. Hendryx rose to prominence as one-third of the trio Labelle and has continued to break barriers and defy expectations in the four decades since, including memorable recordings and performances with Prince, Peter Gabriel, and Talking Heads. Cave’s Until becomes a whole new work when animated by live performance. Do whatever it takes to be here because tickets will sell out fast — limited preferred tickets include an exclusive gallery performance when Hendryx takes the stage on Saturday, August 19, at 7pm and 8pm. Hendryx moves fluidly between rock club and art space, performing at art festivals, museums, and galleries across the U.S. and internationally. Often dressed in an “Audio Tutu,” created by artist Benoit Maubrey, the self-contained sound system allows her the freedom to explore non-conventional performance spaces and merge music and multimedia technology with her environment and art. In the Hunter Center, Hendryx and Berklee College of Music Professor Dr. Richard Boulanger stage and perform eight episodes from their electronic opera The Sound of Dreaming, with an ensemble of virtuoso musicians, singers, app developers, and interactive system designers from Berklee. In The Sound of Dreaming, Hendryx performs remixes of her classic hits in a club, but as she falls asleep after the show, her dreams take her into a high-tech lab where her voice, brainwaves, biodata, and musical DNA are uploaded into singing toys and machines.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
