Tearing Down the Wall of Sound: The Rise and Fall of Phil Spector

Tearing Down the Wall of Sound: The Rise and Fall of Phil Spector

Mick Brown

Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group
2008
nidottu
A stunning biography of "pure self-interest and cruelty, tempered only slightly by the great musical achievements of Mr. Spector's golden age in the early 1960s" (The New York Times). He had a number one hit at eighteen. He was a millionaire with his own record label at twenty-two. He was, according to Tom Wolfe, "the first tycoon of teen." Phil Spector owned pop music. From the Crystals, the Ronettes (whose lead singer, Ronnie, would become his second wife), and the Righteous Brothers to the Beatles (together and singly) and finally the seventies punk icons The Ramones, Spector produced hit after hit. But then he became pop music's most famous recluse. Until one day in the spring of 2007, when his name hit the tabloids, connected to a horrible crime. In this "bruising portrait of legendary music producer Phil Spector" (Entertainment Weekly), the last journalist to interview him before his arrest tells the full story of the troubled genius.

The Reminiscences of Capt. Phil H. Bucklew, USN (Ret.)

Naval Institute Press
1989
pokkari
A legendary figure within Navy circles, Captain Bucklew devoted his entire Navy career to scouting, raiding, and intelligence. One of the Navy's first "frogmen" and a charter member of its Scouts and Raiders of World War II, he scouted the beaches at Normandy, Salerno, and Sicily weeks before Allied invasions. Then, in China, he slipped by Japanese occupation troops to conduct a 400-mile overland scouting trip of the coastline near Hong Kong. In 1964, Captain Bucklew led a study team to investigate the communist infiltration problems in South Vietnam. Prior to his Navy career, Captain Bucklew was a collegiate and professional football star.

Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins and Genesis. The representation of poverty and the troubles in Africa in their music

Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins and Genesis. The representation of poverty and the troubles in Africa in their music

Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 2,3, University of Bonn (Institut f r Anglistik, Amerikanistik und Keltologie), course: Poverty, language: English, abstract: This analysis looks at how Genesis and their singers portray poverty and Africa in their songs. Is the portrayal appropriate or is it full of clich s and prejudices? And did these songs do anything to help the poor or were they merely there for commercial success and artistic pleasure? For that, I will give a short biography of the band, and then I will select some songs and see how the band Genesis has dealt with the topic of poverty in their music. The representation of poverty or of poverty in Africa has always been a big topic in popular music, especially combined with the idea of fighting poverty or helping the poor people in Africa. One of the most famous examples is probably the Live Aid concert in 1985. It was the continuation of the Band Aid single "Do They Know It's Christmas?" from 1984, in which musician Bob Geldof had gathered many famous pop stars to raise money for the poor starving population in Ethiopia. The concept worked and half a year later, the Live Aid performances were celebrated with the same intention. There were two parallel concerts, one in London, one in Philadelphia, and the whole 80s pop world seemed to participate in the event. One man stuck out: Genesis lead vocalist Phil Collins, who was at that time becoming increasingly famous with his solo career, was the only one who played on both concerts. This was made possible when he crossed the Atlantic with a Concorde. He made it into the Guinness Book, and helped Live Aid to become an even more memorable event. Collins has done charity work throughout his whole career, and he wrote some outstanding songs that deal with the critical topic of homelessness or the apartheid. These include songs from his solo career as well as from his time

Gay Talese. Phil Stern. Frank Sinatra Has a Cold

“Sinatra with a cold is Picasso without paint, Ferrari without fuel—only worse. For the common cold robs Sinatra of that uninsurable jewel, his voice, cutting into the core of his confidence.” — Gay Talese In the winter of 1965, writer Gay Talese set out for Los Angeles with an assignment from Esquire to write a major profile on Frank Sinatra. When he arrived, he found the singer and his vigilant entourage on the defensive: Sinatra was under the weather, not available, and not willing to be interviewed. Undeterred, Talese stayed, believing Sinatra might recover and reconsider, and used the meantime to observe the star and to interview his friends, associates, family members, and hangers-on. Sinatra never did grant the one-on-one, but Talese’s tenacity paid off: his profile Frank Sinatra Has a Cold went down in history as a tour de force of literary nonfiction and the advent of New Journalism. In this illustrated edition, Frank Sinatra Has a Cold is published with an introduction by Talese, reproductions of his manuscript pages, and correspondence. Interwoven are photographs from the legendary lens of Phil Stern, the only photographer granted access to Sinatra over four decades, as well as from top photojournalists of the ’60s, including John Bryson, John Dominis, and Terry O’Neill. The photographs complement Talese’s character study, painting an incisive portrait of Sinatra in the recording studio, on location, out on the town, and with the eponymous cold, which reveals as much about a singular star persona as it does about the Hollywood machine.

God is Bigger Than Dr. Phil

Becky Bailey

Lulu.com
2011
pokkari
God is Bigger than Dr. Phil is Becky Bailey's autobiography. It is about hope, about triumphing through your pain, rather than getting bogged down in fear, defeat, and endless questions. Becky opens herself up and exposes herself in hopes that she can inspire people to persevere even when the desire for a permanent solution seems like the only solution. She has been there and made it through to the other side with the help of a higher power. Today, her life is testimony to why sometimes just holding on can get you through and she is glad she held on just a bit longer. Becky endured pain a little longer than others might, mostly because she is stubborn and also because she is a passionate person...passionate about motivating people to be the best they can be. She has found a new love for life and wants to inspire people to find their love.
