  • Broadway's Smash Hit Beautiful – the Carole King Musical Makes Its

Tickets are on sale now. “Carole King might be a native New Yorker, but her story of struggle and triumph is as universal as they come, and her music is loved the world over,” producer Paul Blake said. “I am thrilled that Beautiful continues to delight and entertain audiences around the globe, in England, Japan and Australia and that we are entering our fifth amazing year of touring the US. We are so grateful that over five million audience members have been entertained by our celebration of Carole's story and her timeless music.” With a book by Tony® and Academy® Award-nominee Douglas McGrath and direction by Marc Bruni and choreography by Josh Prince, Beautiful features a stunning array of beloved songs written by Gerry Goffin/Carole King and Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil.

  • This Week, Purely out of Curiosity, I Looked up Rolling Stones Top 100 Songwriters of All Time. a Few Spots on the List Surpris
    This week, purely out of curiosity, I looked up Rolling Stones top 100 songwriters of all time. A few spots on the list surprised me a little but let’s see if you agree with their ordering. I’m not going to read all 100, but I’ll hit a few of the names that we are familiar with today. 97 Taylor Swift 95 Bee gees 91 Eminem 84 Kanye 82 Marvin Gaye 76 Loretta Lynn 69 James Taylor 68 Jay Z 60 Willie Nelson 59 Tom Petty 56 Madonna 54 Kurt Cobain 53 Stevie Nicks 50 Billie Joel 48 Elton John 47 Neil Diamond 43 Johnny Cash 40 John Fogerty 39 David Bowie 35 Bono and the Edge 34 Michael Jackson 33 Merle Haggard 31 Dolly Parton (3000 songs, 20 country #1) 29 Buddy Holly 26 James Brown 22 Van Morrison 18 Prince 16 Leonard Cohen 14 Bruce Springsteen 12 Brian Wilson 11 Bob Marley 10 Stevie Wonder 9 Joni Mitchell 8 Paul Simon 7 Carole King and Gerry Goffin (Wrote music for the Beatles, Dianna Ross, Whitney Houston, Gladys Night and the pips) 6 Mick Jagger and Keith Richards 5 Smokey Robinson 4 Chuck Berry 3 John Lennon 2 Paul McCartney 1 Bob Dylan These are the people who write the score that lays behind the scenes of most of our lives. I’m one of those people who gets overwhelmed with nostalgia anytime a song from my early years comes on the radio. My wife on the other hand grew up weirdly sheltered. We have this pattern that we have probably played out 1,000 times in our marriage where an old song will come on and I immediately start to sing along and I’ll look Esther right in her eyes and sing the rest of the line like I’m an 80s rock star and she’s my groupie and the look that she returns to me is so blank that I almost feel the need to introduce myself to make sure she hasn’t forgotten who I am.

  • Reflections of the Class of 1971
    Reflections of the Class of 1971 By Tom Lashnits ‘71 It was a turbulent time. The Vietnam War. The Draft Lottery. Black Power. Women’s Lib, Kent State. And Closing Down the College And the personal recollections . During our four years, the Protest Tree was filled with signs and comments about the pros and cons of coeducation (and a lot of other issues like the Vietnam War.) The Class of 1971 was the first in the 200+ year history of the college to truly enjoy the benefits of co-education, beginning in our Junior Year. It was approved by the Board of Trustees and in the Fall of 1969, about 100 women showed up on campus and lived in Marshall Hall. Approximately 40 women graduated in our class. The odds on campus were 18 men to 1 woman and there would often be only one woman in a class! Lots of adjustments were made to the physical buildings, rules and policies, social atmosphere, extra-curricular groups, and the dating scene (Little Sisters initiated into Phi Sigma Kappa). How many of us studied, or napped, on the comfortable couches in the Reading Room of Fackenthal Library? Ray Zuschlag took freshman Bio (an 8:00 a.m. class!) and learned the genus and species name of every tree on campus by Dr. Shively reciting the names of all trees passed during periodic walking tours throughout campus. History classes with Dr. Thurman (Pall Mall) Philoon, an entertaining lecturer who did amazing things with his Phi Beta Kappa key. Prof. Robert Russell died recently.

  • ANN HAMPTON CALLAWAY - Biography
    ANN HAMPTON CALLAWAY - Biography ANN HAMPTON CALLAWAY is one of the finest singer/songwriters of our generation. The statuesque performer dazzles music lovers as a singer, pianist, composer, lyricist, arranger, actress, and educator. Her talents have made her equally at home in jazz and pop as well as on stage, in the recording studio, on TV and in film. She is best known for starring in the hit Broadway musical "SWING!" and for writing and singing the theme to the internationally successful TV series,” THE NANNY". Ann is a devoted keeper-of-the-flame of the great American songbook. She brings fresh and original interpretations to these timeless classics and works to uphold the canon by writing songs with Cole Porter, Carole King, Barbara Carroll and others. Her spontaneity, intelligence, and soulful charisma have won her a diverse fan-base including notables as Barbra Streisand, Clive Davis, Carly Simon and Wynton Marsalis. The New York Times writes, “For sheer vocal beauty, no contemporary singer matches Ms. Callaway.” Ann attributes her voice and love of music to her mother, Shirley, who throughout her childhood sang and played torch songs, Gershwin and German lieder at the piano. Of the uniquely musical household she says, “I didn’t know it at the time, but we were sort of the Von Trapp family of Chicago.” After a music teacher discovered her unusually mature soprano voice, Ann was encouraged to study classically, honing the pitch-perfect control and expressive three octave range she is known for. While her voice teachers suggested she could have a career in opera, Ann eventually realized that she would be happier singing the music she most loved.

  • Rock Music's Crusade of Authenticity
    ROCK MUSIC’S CRUSADE OF AUTHENTICITY by DANIEL BROMFIELD A THESIS Presented to the Department of Journalism and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts June 2016 An Abstract of the Thesis of Daniel Bromfield for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the School of Journalism and Communications to be taken June 2016 Title: Rock Music's Crusade Of Authenticity Prof. Thomas Wheeler This thesis attempts to define rock music's standards of authenticity and explore their origins. Included are comparison of rock's standards of authenticity to those of other genres and an exploration of how authenticity has been perceived throughout the history of rock music. This study argues that rock's standards of authenticity are unusual among pop music genres in that they entail artists both writing their own songs and playing their own instruments. This is in contrast to genres like hip hop, contemporary pop, and R&B, which have their own quite different standards of authenticity. Quotes from rock fans, critics, and musicians are used to provide insight into rock's standards of authenticity and how they developed over time. ii Acknowledgements I would like to first and foremost thank my father for introducing me to music. If not for his decision to turn me on to the Beatles one sunny day in June 2006, I would surely be pursuing a far more boring career – and thesis topic. And I would like to thank my mother for giving me a great life and being endlessly supportive.

  • Ruth Frankel Professor Swedberg CAS WS214 May 2, 2013 Carole
    Ruth Frankel Professor Swedberg CAS WS214 May 2, 2013 Carole King: A Consequential Female Artist in Achievement and Message Carole King, a Brooklyn born singer­songwriter, most associated with the music of the 1960s and 1970s, is significant in that she, according to her biographer James Perone, “almost single­handedly opened the doors of popular music songwriting to women” (1). She also became the first female artist in American popular music in complete control of her own work. Her writing was prolific. She has written 500 copyrighted songs throughout her career and has had tremendous commercial success (Havranek 236). King’s greatest success was the release of the 1973 album Tapestry, which remained on the charts for 302 weeks (Perone 6). Though her cultural impact is often underappreciated, Carole King has been an important contributor to advancement of women in the music industry and a positive role model to the female audiences of her generation. It is even hard to find academic sources reflecting the success and cultural attributions of King. Overall, it appears that sexism has faded the memory of Carole King’s contribution to women in music. Again and again, King impact has not been recognized or remembered. For example, in the book Go, Girl, Go!: The Women’s Revolution in Music by James Dickerson, King’s name is mentioned only once. Dickerson writes, “Carly Simon and Carole King were the two most successful singer­songwriters of the decade, and of the two, it was Carly who was dazzling the world with her toothy smile and sexy album covers” (77).

  • Songwriter Session – Don’T Just Tap Your Foot, Tap Your Creativity
    Plenary: Songwriter Session – Don’t Just Tap Your Foot, Tap Your Creativity Presented By: Gary Burr Musician, Songwriter, Producer Nashville, TN Don Henry Singer, Songwriter Nashville, TN Jim Phtoglo Singer, Songwriter Nashville, TN Victoria Shaw Singer, Songwriter Nashville, TN Presented at: ACLEA 53rd Mid-Year Meeting January 28th – January 31st, 2017 Nashville, Tennessee Gary Burr Musician, Songwriter, Producer Nashville, TN “…But the guitarist always writes the songs…” That’s what they said in Gary’s first band. So, following in the footsteps of his heroes John Lennon and Roger McGuinn, a writer was born. After years of hard work and hard writing, he got his first break in 1982 with Juice Newton’s “Love’s Been a Little Bit Hard on Me.” With a hit under his belt he started writing in earnest, getting cuts from such talents as the Oak Ridge Boys and Conway Twitty. After a brief time on a solo career and album, Gary took over for Vince Gill as the lead‐singer for the band Pure Prairie League. In the late 80’s, feeling that he’d done all he can from Connecticut, Gary decided to move to Nashville, and a better move is hard to make. It didn’t take long for Gary to become one of Country Music’s most sought‐after writers, having hits with Randy Travis, Reba McEntire, Patty Loveless, Garth Brooks, and many more. Burr has been awarded ‘Songwriter of the Year’ on three separate occasions by three different organizations: Billboard, Nashville Songwriter’s Association International, and ASCAP and has written 14 Number One songs.
