    Amid the Coronavirus Pandemic, Remember “Thanks for the Memory” Oscar-Winning

    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.

    L.A. Opens Applications to Grants for Artists Aected by COVID-19 By City News Service Published August 14, 2020 Los Angeles began oering artists in the city the chance to apply for one-time grant of $500 to $1,500 today if they can demonstrate that they’ve been adversely aected by the coronavirus. The grants are available until Sept. 1 or until the rst 600 applicants have been approved. The citywide COVID-19 Emergency Response Program for Individual Artists, administered by the Department of Cultural Aairs, is the rst COVID- 19 relief fund specically for individual artists. ADVERTISEMENT “Local artists and arts nonprots are the creative heart of Los Angeles,” Councilman David Ryu said. “The work of writers, musicians, painters and all artists help make Los Angeles the vibrant and dynamic city we love.” To qualify, artists must demonstrate nancial need and detrimental eects caused by COVID-19, such as an inability to pay rent or bills. Funds are available to artists of all kinds, including DJs, writers, visual artists and more, Ryu said. Artists can apply for the grants at culturela.org/grants-and- calls/citywide-covid-19-emergency-response- program-for-individual-artists/ . The $340,000 fund was created after Ryu introduced a motion seeking to repurpose his council district’s Arts Development Fee fund, money that comes to each council district from commercial developments that can be used to support arts projects, facilities and arts education programs that are free or low-cost and accessible to the public. Councilmen Gil Cedillo, Bob Blumeneld, Paul Koretz, Marqueece Harris- Dawson, Herb Wesson and Joe Buscaino added their Arts Development Fee fund dollars as well.

Harris Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Science Series 42 September 15, 2015 Cover Illustration: Pit 91 in 1915 An asphaltic bone mass in Pit 91 was discovered and exposed by the Los Angeles County Museum of History, Science and Art in the summer of 1915. The Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History resumed excavation at this site in 1969. Retrieval of the “microfossils” from the asphaltic matrix has yielded a wealth of insect, mollusk, and plant remains, more than doubling the number of species recovered by earlier excavations. Today, the current excavation site is 900 square feet in extent, yielding fossils that range in age from about 15,000 to about 42,000 radiocarbon years.

    Legendary Songwriter Diane Warren to Keynote at AIMP Indie Music Publishing Summit on June 11 in NYC

    Legendary Songwriter Diane Warren to Keynote at AIMP Indie Music Publishing Summit on June 11 in NYC May 2, 2019 – The Association of Independent Music Publishers (AIMP) will welcome legendary songwriter Diane Warren — a Grammy, Emmy, and Golden Globe Award winner and 10-time Oscar nominee as well as a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame — to keynote at the third annual AIMP Indie Music Publishing Summit on June 11 at the 3 West Club in New York City. Warren has also been a leading indie music publisher since 1987, when she founded Realsongs, and quickly became the most successful female-owned and operated indie music publishers in the world. Warren will be interviewed by Gracie Award-winning radio personality, DJ, author, journalist, and musician Meredith Ochs, who is a regular commentator on NPR’s All Things Considered, among many other shows. Her latest books are Rock-and-Roll Woman and Aretha: The Queen of Soul, both available via Sterling Publishing. Diane Warren, photo by Rochelle Brodin “Diane Warren is one of the greatest songwriters of all time, but she is also an incredible businesswoman and indie music publisher,” said Teri Nelson-Carpenter, National Chair and President of the LA Chapter of the AIMP. “She has so much to share about all aspects of her career, and we’re honored that she will be with us at the AIMP Indie Music Publishing Summit this year.” Warren is one of the most successful songwriters in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, with nine #1 songs and 32 Top 10 hits.
