Born in Brooklyn, Mr. Burgie is a brilliant composer-lyricist, whose music is both nationally and interna.tiona.lly famous. He started his musical career as an entertainer, using the name of Lord Burgess; in fact he opened the Blue Angel Club in Chicago, and was held over for two years. While working as an entertainer he began writing. It went so well that he decided to quit as a performer and concentrate on writing. He has written over thirty Harry Bela.fonte hits including such songs as "Jamaica Farewell," "Dolly Dawn, " "I Do Adore Her," "Land of Sea and Sun, " and "Island in the Sun" which he wrote for Twentieth Century Fox production by the same name, He has written for the Kingston Trio, and several other groups and personalities. He started writing for Belafonte in 1955, then wrote the calypso album for him which started the big trend. This was the first album by an artist that sold over a million copies, 1vir. Burgie 1s songs have ap­ peared on various albums to the tune of thirty-five million sides over the past eight years. Mr. Burgie, who captures the mood and rhythm of the islands more than any other writer around, is the son of a West Indian mother and an American father. He is a frequent visitor to Barbados (his mother's home), and most of the other West Indian Islands. He has also travelled extensively throughout Europe, West Africa, Israel, the Scandinavian countries, and Mexico. DINNER-SHOW PLAN--TUESDAYS AND WEDNESDAY.

  • The Curse of the Black Pearl Or If You
    If you have seen the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl or if you watched the closing ceremonies of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China, you have heard music composed by Klaus Badelt and Hans Zimmer. If not, you will get to enjoy his music for the first time when you attend the YPC concert this November. Klaus Badelt writes music for movies and commercials. How cool is that! Just think, a hundred years ago, the musical career Klaus now enjoys would not have been possible. Badelt’s career as a composer began in Germany where he was born. Since he was discovered by Hans Zimmer and came to American, he has collaborated with several other composers on the scores for several successful films. Independently, his composition number into the twenties. Over the course of his career, he has written music for many well-known movie directors. In 2004, he started his own film music company in Santa Monica, California and continues to be a successful composer, arranger, and producer.
