LOL!
Thanks to the Hyperion label and the work of accompanist Graham Johnson, I have the complete art songs of Schubert, Schumann, Chausson, and I've now started on Brahms. There are more favorites than I can count, especially with Schubert.

Let’s be honest. Nancy Sinatra didn’t have all that great a voice. Her father signed her to his label in 1961 as a favor, and she didn’t make much of a splash. Her breakthrough came when she met producer Lee Hazlewood. Reportedly he told her, “You’re divorced, and you’re not a virgin anymore. Don’t sound like one.” He was responsible for her image and her songs. This was her biggest success and came in at #2 this week.
This video is amazingly salacious for its era.

Indeed! All those lieder and all of them good! An incredible outpouring of work in such a short life.
I worked on several of his - "An Sylvia" of course - "Staendchen" "Ave Maria" and others. Never met a song of his that I didn't like!
Where are the survivors of the massacre at Benghazi? The silence of the Obama Regime on this question is deafening!

Good evening, Luv!
***HUGS***
Almost morning now - you're posting some great tunes this evening - as always! I'm off tomorrow - they're having a marathon in downtown D.C. and our bosses decided they didn't want to subject us to all the traffic closures. We're going in Sunday instead.

Get all 37 disks of the Hyperion Schubert Edition. Each disk is organized on one topic and is set up like a recital. You can see Schubert at work on his factory floor and discover some wonderful songs that don't get performed all that often.
The Schlegel brothers had translated Shakespeare in the early 1800's, keeping his meter and rhymes intact, even to effectively translating his bawdy Renaissance word play into German. The readers of the time encountered Shakespeare not as an old master, but as a modern writer, and they set off a Shakespeare boom. Schubert's settings of the Schlegel's Shakespeare was intended, he hoped, to be sung also in English to give him a foothold in the English speaking world. He didn't live long enough to get his wish.

In 1966 Lyndon Johnson began ramping up his Vietnam adventure with all the subtlety of a steam calliope going full blast. “Let’s nail that coonskin over the mantle,” he told the troops. People were blithely marching off to war. Neither Johnson nor Robert McNamara gave much thought as to what constituted victory or how it could be achieved. McNamara’s obsession with statistics and jargon made him the laughingstock of the press and even some of his own officers. Johnson’s line of thinking rarely got beyond slogans. There had been a few small antiwar demonstrations in 1965, but they received little notice. The attitude in 1966 was one of confidence.
The priest teaching religion at the overrated Catholic prep school I attended was scathing in his criticism of this song. He viewed it as nothing more than propaganda, which was probably an accurate conclusion. What outraged him was that death was nothing more than a casual footnote in the song, a human life was totally expendable, and the last words of the warrior asked his wife to put his son in the same predicament in the future. I viewed the priest as unpatriotic at the time, but history proved that old biblical scholar to be right.
Barry Sadler had only one hit which came in at #1 this week. In his later life he attempted writing, among other pursuits. He did 21 days jail time for a murder rap in 1979 where he was able to claim some degree of self defense. He relocated to Guatemala where was killed in a robbery in 1989.
Barry Sadler: “The Ballad of the Green Berets”
And so we end one week of music history 47 years ago. See you tomorrow night! Cue the Rockumentary theme!
