  • AL SCHMITT Al Schmitt Is a Renowned Recording and Mix Engineer Whose
    AL SCHMITT Al Schmitt is a renowned recording and mix engineer whose acclaimed music career has spanned more than half a century. During that time Al has been awarded more accolades than any of his contemporaries including holding the record for most Grammy awards for a recording or mix engineer. To date, Al is the recipient of 23 Grammy Awards, including the Grammy Trustees Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006. In 2014, Al received the Honorary Doctorate from Berklee School of Music. Al is a New York native, of whom Barbra Streisand states, "as a fellow Brooklyn-ite, we speak the same language." He has worked on more than 150 gold and platinum albums, and was inducted into the TEC Awards Hall of Fame in 1997 to honor his technical and creative excellence in recording and sound. In the early days of his career, working at RCA, Al engineered albums for such legendary artists as Sam Cooke, Rosemary Clooney and Henry Mancini, featuring the Grammy Award winning title, "Moon River", which also won an Academy Award for Best Song, and for "Breakfast at Tiffany's." During this time he also worked on scoring for multiple motion pictures as well. In the mid 60's, while demand for his engineering services grew, Al also aspired to become an independent producer. In addition to recording all the last records of the legendary Sam Cooke, during this same period, Al also worked with Ann Margaret, Bobby Darin and Eddie Fisher. He also worked with newer, up and coming artists of the time including Jefferson Airplane, Jackson Browne and Neil Young.

Really.’ – Radiohead, In Rainbows.com digital download site (2007) ‘I think the way [Radiohead] parlayed it into a marketing gimmick has certainly been shrewd. But if you look at what they did, though, it was very much a bait and switch to get you to pay for a MySpace-quality stream as a way to promote a very traditional record sale. There’s nothing wrong with that, but I don’t see that as a big revolution [that] they’re kinda [sic] getting credit for. To me that feels insincere. It relies upon the fact that it was quote-unquote ‘first,’ and it takes the headlines with it.’ – Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor, Triple J’s ‘Hack’ interview (Chartier, 2008). 1. Introduction: Two Market Events & Four Initial Reactions 1.1 Paper Overview & Problem Statement Market events force journalists, policymakers and valuation analysts to make judgments on the basis of ambiguous and incomplete information. This paper explores why Chris Anderson, Scott Anthony and other strategists applaud Radiohead’s In Rainbows (2007) and Nine Inch Nails’ The Slip (2008) as two market events about online digital downloads that might dramatically alter the digital music industry’s structure, firms, and business models.

  • I Got a Woman Ray Charles
    I got a woman ray charles Continue Born in Albany, Georgia, during the Depression, and blind at the age of seven, Ray Charles Robinson certainly had the deck stacked against him from the start. But, as he himself said, he was not good because he was blind; he was good because he was good at what he did. Influenced by both pop vocal styles crooners like Nat King Cole and the smooth West Coast Blues by Charles Brown, Charles began cutting a rather unsightly (yet interesting) leap of blues and rhythm and blues in New Orleans. But it is the musical passion for travel that will lead to two great highs in his career. In 1959, the singer cemented his gospel and blues influence (which he had already marshaled on cuts like I Got a Woman) for a rave-up called What I Said. The song is widely regarded now as the first soul hit record, challenging yet sensual, relentlessly secular yet burning with religious fervor. In 1962, he cemented his legacy by releasing the album Modern Sounds in the Country and Western Music, which somehow poured soul into the country's Western standards, such as Born To Lose and I Can't Stop Loving You. Perhaps one of the most brilliant interpretive albums ever released, it has done more to integrate contemporary American music than almost any other LP in history. And while he more or less settled into an old chain of level fame after that, he remains an institution for his insistence on holding various forms of music in places that shouldn't have logically worked, but with it, he did.

    BIOGRAPHIES Ray Charles b. Ray Charles Robinson, 23 September 1930, Albany, Georgia, USA, d. 10 June 2004, Beverly Hills, California, USA. Few epithets sit less comfortably than that of genius; Ray Charles held this title for over 40 years and he was a true musical genius. As a singer, composer, arranger and pianist, his prolific work deserved no other praise. Born in extreme poverty in Georgia, Ray Charles Robinson grew up in Greenville, Florida. He was slowly blinded by glaucoma until, by the age of seven, he had lost his sight completely. Earlier, he had been forced to cope with the tragic death of his brother, whom he had seen drown in a water tub. He learned to read and write music in Braille and was proficient on several instruments by the time he left school. His mother Aretha died when Ray was 15, and he continued to have a shared upbringing with Mary Jane (the first wife of his absent father). Dropping his surname in deference to the boxing champion Sugar Ray Robinson, Ray Charles drifted around the Florida circuit, picking up work where he could, before moving across the country to Seattle. Here he continued his itinerant career, playing piano at several nightclubs in a style reminiscent of Nat "King" Cole and a vocal similar to Charles Brown. Charles began recording in 1949 and this early, imitative approach was captured on several sessions.Three years later, Atlantic Records acquired his contract, but initially the singer continued his "cool" direction, revealing only an occasional hint of the passions later unleashed.
