Moonlight serenade
Composer(s), autor(es)=   Glenn Miller - Parish
gravada originalmente (ou tb) por  (originally recorded (or also)  by) =Glenn Miller
. 1 March 1905, Clarinda, Iowa, USA, d. 15 December 1944. Miller was the first artist to be credited with a million-selling disc (for "Chattanooga Choo Choo"), and was the toast of North American popular music during World War II for his uniformed orchestra's fusion of sober virtuosity, infectious dance rhythms and varied intonation of brass and woodwind. In Miller's hands, close harmony vocals - often wordless - were almost incidental in a slick repertoire that embraced Tin Pan Alley standards ("April In Paris", Hoagy Carmichael's "The Nearness Of You"), jump blues ("St. Louis Blues", Jelly Roll Morton's "King Porter Stomp"), western swing ("Blueberry Hill", once sung by Gene Autry) and orthodox swing ("Jersey Bounce", "Tuxedo Junction"), also exemplified by the "hotter" big bands of Artie Shaw and Jimmy Dorsey.........CONTINUE ====> CLICK HERE

Can't take my eyes off of you
Composer(s), autor(es)=    Bob Crewe - Bob Gaudio
http://www.musicnotes.com/searchresults.asp?all=%22Bob%20Gaudio%22&who=Artist&cookie=yes
gravada originalmente (ou tb) por  (originally recorded (or also)  by) =?   Frankie Valli, Diana Ross
Bob Crewe= While songwriter/producer/recording star, Bob Crewe, is perhaps best remembered for the notable parade of hits penned with co-writer Bob Gaudio, for Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons the credits begin considerably earlier.
In the early '50s, New Jersey-born Crewe first tasted success on the music charts with writing teammate Frank Slay with a batch of hits for a variety of artists. Among the best known were "Silhouettes" and "Daddy Cool" for The Rays; "Lah Dee Dah" and "Lucky Ladybug" for Billy and Lillie; and Freddy Cannon's "Tallahassee Lassie" and "Okefenokee."
In 1961, Crewe also blossomed as a recording artist himself, with a pair of solo albums on Warwick Records. Kicks, featuring "The Whiffenpoof Song," and Crazy in the Heart, both produced by one of the more colorful producers of that time.
Following these successes as a solo recording act, Crewe joined forces with songwriter Bob Gaudio, and good fortune struck almost immediately for the pair with the smash hit, "Sherry," for Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Thus began a years-long association with an uninterrupted string of chart successes including "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Rag Doll," "Ronnie," "Walk Like a Man," "Bye Bye Baby" and "Connie 0," as well as the monumental Frankie Valli hit, "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You."
Other Crewe and Gaudio successes include "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine," for The Walker Brothers and "Silence Is Golden" by The Tremeloes. Following this phase, Crewe moved out again on his own to form The Bob Crewe Generation ("Music to Watch Girls By"), utilizing studio musicians and original material for instrumental music collections. Bob Crewe later teamed with writer, Charles Fox, in penning the soundtrack for Dino De Laurentis' film, "Barbarella."         During the mid-sixties, Bob Crewe turned discoverer, locating a band known as Billy Lee and The Rivieras, which he later re-named, Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels, a major success on the charts with such Crewe-arranged smashes as "Jenny Take a Ride," "Devil With the Blue Dress On" and "Sock It to Me Baby."       As the '60s were coming to a close, Crewe had also established his own recording firm, Crewe Records, which owned hits by Oliver and Lesley Gore, among others. Later, Crewe wrote and produced the song, "Eternity," which became an international hit for Vicki Carr. Following a short stay with Motown Records, when he produced what turned out to be Bobby Darin's final album, Crewe rejoined forces with Bob Gaudio and Frankie Valli, and bought back from Motown the tape master for Valli's "My Eyes Adored You," a song co-written with Kenny Nolan, which became a huge new hit for Valli on Private Stock Records. The song "Lady Marmalade," another joint effort for Crewe and Nolan, went on to reach hit status and also helped re-establish Patti LaBelle as an artist of major stature.      Still later, Crewe and Gaudio teamed with another writer, Jerry Corbetta, in penning the hit song "You're Looking Like Love to Me," for Roberta Flack and Peabo Bryson. Crewe also collaborated with Corbetta and the writer, Ellie Greenwich, in producing the original cast album for Greenwich's Broadway musical, "Leader of the Pack."      In addition to his music, Crewe also owns impressive credentials in the art world. He has designed numerous album covers and has been featured in several one-man gallery showings, including The Earl McGrath Gallery and Thomas Solomon's Garage in Los Angeles.


Bob Gaudio, prolific songwriter and former member of the famed harmony-blending rock-n-roll act The Four Seasons, was recently awarded a BMI Million-Air Certificate for "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," which has received over 6 million broadcast performances. The song was co-written with Bob Crewe, also of the Four Seasons. Based on an average length of three minutes, six million airplays is the equivalent of 300,000 hours or 34.2 years of continous airplay.         He's a quintessential music maker. In the late '50s, at the age of 15, he co-wrote his first hit, "Who Wears Short Shorts," for a group he started, The Royal Teens. He then went on to become, with Frankie Valli, a founding member of the supergroup, The Four Seasons. His song, "Sherry," in the early '60s, launched their incredible string of hits. At the time, he also began a productive and creative relationship with Bob Crewe, a teaming that produced an amazing run of hits for The Four Seasons, including "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Rag Doll," "Walk Like a Man," "Bye Bye Baby," "Silence Is Golden," and in 1967, Frankie Valli's classic, "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You."       Gaudio also produced and co-wrote with his wife, Judy Parker, "Who Loves You," for The Four Seasons and Billboard Magazine's longest-charting single (54 weeks), "December '63 (Oh, What a Night)." He has also enjoyed an enduring association with recording star and songwriter, Neil Diamond. He produced four of Diamond's albums and received an Emmy nomination for Best Sound Production for the star's TV special, "I'm Glad You're Here with Me Tonight," for which he also composed the title song. Two years later, he acted as producer of the Neil Diamond/Barbra Streisand duet recording, "You Don't Bring Me Flowers," for which he received a Grammy nomination.        In addition to The Four Seasons, Gaudio has been associated with many major names in the popular music industry. He co-wrote and produced the Watertown album for Frank Sinatra and has produced albums with Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, Roberta Flack, Barry Manilow, Peabo Bryson and The Beach Boys, to cite just a few. His songs have been recorded by The Bay City Rollers, The Tremeloes and The Walker Brothers.         Gaudio is also a prolific musical contributor to motion picture and television productions. He produced the music for the Warner-Geffen long-standing film favorite, "Little Shop of Horrors" and Neil Diamond's "The Jazz Singer," a multi-platinum soundtrack album. His work as a songwriter, producer and music supervisor has been spotlighted in an impressive group of movie and TV productions, including "The Deer Hunter," "China Beach," "Dirty Dancing," "Good Fellas," "Hearts and Souls," "Mrs. Doubtfire," "Wild Palms," "The Doctors," "Hollywood Nights" and many others. In the 1990’s, Gaudio composed the music for a musical based on the hit motion picture, "Peggy Sue Got Married."

Also sprach Zarathustra ("Thus spoke Zarathustra" "Assim falou Zarathustra")
("2001: A Space Odyssey" film soundtrack) (1968)

Composer(s), autor(es)=    Richard Strauss  (1896 )  PUBLIC DOMAIN
gravada originalmente (ou tb) por  (originally recorded (or also)  by) =  Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Sudwesfunk Orchestra 

Richard Strauss (June 11, 1864 - September 8, 1949) was a German composer of classical music particularly noted for his tone poems and operas. He was also a noted conductor.     He was born on June 11, 1864 in Munich, Germany, the son of Franz Strauss who was the principal French horn player at the Court Opera in Munich.
2001 is especially remembered for its use of the opening from Richard Strauss's Also sprach Zarathustra ("Thus spoke Zarathustra"), which has become inextricably associated with the film and its imagery and themes.     
 
  The film's soundtrack also did much to introduce the modern classical composer György Ligeti to a wider public, using extracts from his "Requiem, Atmospheres, Lux Aeterna and (in an altered form) Aventures". Ligeti  was unaware that his music was in the film until alerted by friends.  He was at first unhappy about some of the music used, and threatened legal action over Kubrick's use of an electronically 'treated' recording of "Aventures" in the 'interstellar hotel' scene near the end of the film.    

Kubrick explained the use of classical music:  "However good our best film composers may be, they are not a  Strauss, a Beethoven, or a Mozart  '
Since being popularized by its use in the movie, the "Dawn" section has been used as the entrance music for singer Elvis Presley            Richard Strauss was not related to, and should still less be confused with Johann Strauss or his sons, Viennese composers of popular waltzes.             Largely episodic, the stories in Zarathustra can be read in any order. Zarathustra contains the famous statement, "God is dead,"   (Oh no ! God is alive!) although this also appeared in Nietzsche's earlier book Die fröhliche Wissenschaft (The Gay Science).         Also sprach Zarathustra (Thus Spake Zarathustra) is a book started in 1885 by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche; it is arguably one of the most famous books in philosophy.        The book chronicles the wanderings and teachings of a philosopher self-named Zarathustra after the founder of Zoroastrianism in ancient Persia. The book uses a poetic, fictional form, often satirizing the New Testament, (I don't like this) to explore many of Nietzsche's ideas.  (Go to hell, Nietzsche).     On the film 2001. Johann Strauss II's waltz, "On The Beautiful Blue Danube" was used, during the spectacular space-station rendezvous and lunar landing sequences.   

    Editorial Reviews  Amazon.com=    This commemorative reissue of music from 2001: A Space Odyssey combines the Also sprach Zarathustra theme, various Johann and Richard Strauss segments, and a ballet suite by Aram Khachaturian--all of which prove how much Stanley Kubrick's film attempts to avoid the soundtrack clichés of most science-fiction movies. Instead of the expected sci-fi effects, there is a more ironic application of music that would be otherwise incongruous to the celestial settings. Here, "The Blue Danube" complements scenes involving weightlessness and descending spacecraft, while Gyorgy Ligeti's creepy "monolith" music connotes Armageddon more than interplanetary exploration. The tracks play as they had appeared on the original soundtrack release back in the '60s, but there is also previously unreleased supplemental material and a dialogue montage entitled "HAL 9000." --Joseph Lanza

Fats Waller  was the son of a preacher and learned to play the organ in church with his mother. Fats' most famous song, "Ain't Misbehavin'" was introduced in the show "Hot Chocolates" which featured Louis Armstrong.    Begining his career, in 1918 he won a talent contest playing James P. Johnson's Carolina Shout which he learned from watching a pianola play the song. He would later take piano lessons from Johnson. Fats began his recording career in 1922 and made a living playing rent parties, as an organist at movie theatres and as an accompanist for various vaudeville acts. In 1927 he co-wrote a couple of tunes with his old piano teacher James P. Johnson for his show "Keep Shufflin'". Two years later Waller wrote the score for the Broadway hit "Hot Chocolates" with lyrics supplied by his friend Andy Razaf.  Fats Waller's big break occurred at a party given by George Gershwin in 1934, where he delighted the crowd with his piano playing and singing. An executive of Victor Records, who was at the party was so impressed that he arranged for Fats to record with the company. ......CONTINUE ====> CLICK HERE
