Consequently, only a tiny minority of the hundreds of fans and musicians who contributed memories to this collection of stories ever saw him play in front of any kind of audience. THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “ Harry Nilsson was The Beatles’ favourite recording artist but terrified of performing live. Harry and Me: 200 Memories of Harry Nilsson by the Fans and Musicians That Loved Him the Most Few musical groups have provided the soundtrack to our lives like The Bee Gees, and it all started in the fascinating decade that was the 1960s.” According to Billboard magazine The Bee Gees are one of top three most successful bands in their charts’ history. In an incredible career The Bee Gees would go on to sell over 200 million records, making them among the best-selling music artists of all time, they would be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Australian Recording Industry’s Hall of Fame, and the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and receive lifetime achievement awards from the British Phonographic Industry, the American Music Awards, World Music Awards and the Grammys. As extraordinary as it sounds, with more than 10 years of performing and four years of recording behind them, the Gibb twins, Robin and Maurice, were just 17 while elder brother Barry was only 20. Whilst that haunting classic would be the first of many hits, The Bee Gees consisting of brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb had been releasing records since 1963. THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “In April 1967, The Bee Gees launched themselves onto the international music scene with the release of New Yok Mining Disaster 1941. Marovich also delves into the music’s connection to fans and churchgoers, its enormous popularity then and now, and the influence of the Civil Rights Movement on the music’s message and reception.”īy Andrew Mon Hughes, Grant Walters & Mark Crohan As such, it forged a template for live recordings of services that transformed the gospel music business and Black worship. Emerging from an established gospel music milieu, Peace Be Still spent several years as the bestselling gospel album of all time. Marovich draws on extensive oral interviews and archival research to chart the history of Peace Be Still and the people who created it. The LP and its haunting title track became a phenomenon. Lawrence Roberts and the Angelic Choir of the First Baptist Church of Nutley, N.J., teamed with rising gospel star James Cleveland to record Peace Be Still. THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “In September of 1963, Rev. Peace Be Still: How James Cleveland and the Angelic Choir Created a Gospel Classic Featuring a star-studded cast of characters from the history of music - Eddy Arnold, Minnie Pearl, Roy Acuff, Hank Williams, Gene Autry, Patti Page, and many others - this memorable book is a must-read for any fan of country music.” Told in King’s own voice and words, this biography, based on many hours of taped conversations, is the first account of King’s incredible life and career. Recipient of numerous awards, including induction into both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Country Music Hall of Fame, Pee Wee King has been one of the most important figures in country music for over 60 years. The result was a smooth, listenable, danceable, up-to-date sound that has become the most popular form of music in the United States. He combined this new sound with folk and country traditions rooted in places like Louisville, Knoxville, and Nashville. He took the polka and waltz rhythms of his youth, mixed them with the sounds of the big bands of the ’30s and ’40s, and flavoured it all with the balladry and moods of the Western cowboy. He is just as important, however, for his vital role in expanding the horizons, and the market potential, of country and western music. He is best remembered today as the co-writer of one of the most popular country songs of all time, The Tennessee Waltz. Even King himself is incredulous at the unlikely twists and turns of his life and career. Certainly no one in the Polish-German community of his youth could have foreseen his influence on the direction of American popular music or his enduring fame on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry. 18, 1914, into a Milwaukee working-class Polish family named Kuczynski was hardly an indicator that he would grow up to become a pioneer and superstar of country and western music.
