    Back to Newsroom (/newsroom) Leo Robin Music Amid the Coronavirus Pandemic, Remember "Thanks for the Memory" Oscar-Winning Lyricist Leo Robin Who Served on The Hollywood Office of Music War Council During WWII - The Hollywood Walk of Fame Should Install #LeosLostStar" Awarded to Him 30 Years Ago Tuesday, April 28, 2020 3:18 PM SHERMAN OAKS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / April 28, 2020 / Turning on the radio back in 1944 you would have heard the most celebrated jazz musicians such as Louis Armstrong and Lionel Hampton and vocalists such as Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Dinah Washington and actress Marlene Dietrich singing the wartime song "No Love, No Nothin'." Lyricist Leo Robin wrote the heartfelt lyrics to this song during World War II when romantic and sentimental songs about the girls left behind captured the mood of the country. In The Great Jazz and Pop Vocal Albums, Will Friedwald gives his interpretation, "this no-frills love song is refreshingly straightforward. No frills, no love, no nothin', in fact -- it's all about the deprivation of the 'love-sick girl' on the home front is suffering; [...] there's an obvious parallel with wartime rationing and shortages. It was near impossible to get sugar, rubber, tires, or gasoline, among other goods and the same thing applied to love, she's not getting any of that either." Today's songwriters and musicians amid the Coronavirus pandemic follow in the footsteps of those during World War II in writing and performing songs that capture the mood of the country during this new war against what President Trump calls the "invisible enemy." For example, Alicia Keys, a 15-time Grammy winner, debuted her new powerful anthem "Good Job" to honor the unsung heroes in her own life during a CNN global town hall addressing the latest developments in the Covid-19 pandemic.

  • Hollywood Walk of Fame (Die Straße Der Sterne)
    Hollywood Walk of Fame (Die Straße der Sterne) aus Wikipedia, der freien Enzyklopädie Der Walk of Fame ist ein Gehweg in Los Angeles. Er erstreckt sich über 18 Blocks. Auf diesen Abschnitten sind mit der Ehrung von Howie Mandel am 4. September 2008 derzeit 2.368 Sterne eingelassen, mit denen Prominente geehrt werden, die eine wichtige Rolle vor allem in der amerikanischen Unterhaltungsindustrie spielten oder noch spielen. Kategorien und Ausstattung Sterne auf dem Walk of Fame werden in fünf Kategorien mit entsprechendem Symbol (vergeben). Vollständige Listen der Geehrten mit den Adressen der Sterne sind im Internet unter Wikipedia.org zufinden: • Kategorie Film (Symbol: Filmkamera) • Kategorie Fernsehen (Symbol: Fernsehgerät) • Kategorie Musik (Symbol: Schallplatte) • Kategorie Radio (Symbol: Mikrofon) • Kategorie Theater (Symbol: Maskenpaar von Tragödie und Komödie) Jeder Stern besteht aus altrosafarbenem Terrazzo. In den Stein ist der Name des zu ehrenden Künstlers oder der zu ehrenden Gruppe eingelassen, außerdem in Bronze das Symbol für die Kategorie, in der die Ehrung stattgefunden hat. Geschichte Eingerichtet wurde der Walk of Fame im Jahr 1958 durch die Handelskammer von Hollywood, um der Filmmetropole ein face-lifting zu geben. Der kalifornische Künstler Oliver Weismuller entwarf 2.500 „leere“ Sterne, von denen innerhalb der ersten sechzehn Jahre bereits knapp 1.600 vergeben und graviert wurden; seither kamen pro Jahr im Schnitt 24 Ehrungen hinzu. 1978 erhob die Stadt Los Angeles den Walk of Fame zum städtischen Kulturdenkmal. Als in den 1990er Jahren die Zweitausender-Marke an Sternen überschritten wurde, wurde der Walk of Fame auf seine heutige Größe erweitert. Mit dem ersten Stern wurde am 9. Februar 1960 Joanne Woodward geehrt; der bislang einzige in allen fünf Kategorien ausgezeichnete Künstler ist Gene Autry.
