Steve Ranson: News icon Bob Carroll's lasting impact - Nevada Appeal

Image
Bob Carroll began delivering the news at KOLO-TV in 1961. Every Sunday night when I was on the highway from Carson City to Fallon, I would sink into the golden era of music and listen to Bob Carroll play the Music of America, popular tunes primarily from the 1940s and 50s on KUNR-FM radio. Carroll died June 13. Bob's choice of music, though, resonated more with me two years ago for several reasons: The year marked the 75th anniversary of World War II's end, and I was spending any — if not every — spare hour of the day writing World War II articles on veterans who visited Pearl Harbor on an Honor Flight Nevada trip and then proofreading the copy for a book that featured more than 70 Nevadans with ties to the war. Steve Ranson   Although the song was sung by the English vocalist Vera Lynn (or Linn according to other entries) in 1942, Bob played "The White Cliffs of Dover" on his May 10 ...

Jimi Hendrix's 10 greatest covers - Far Out Magazine

Image
Time and time again, Hendrix proved that reinvention is as important as originality. With his various cover tracks, the guitarist demonstrated that the musician's role wasn't to sit in an ivory tower throwing down songs to the adoring public but to participate in a conversation. By taking on the biggest hits of the day, Hendrix established himself as more than an innovator; he revealed himself to be an adept commentator on the state of popular music. In this selection of Hendrix's ten best cover songs, we'd like to paint a portrait of the guitarist as one of rock 'n' roll's great mockingbirds. Although that doesn't really do him justice because the brilliance of Hendrix's covers lies not in their faithfulness to the original but in their novelty. Nobody bent songs out of shape as artfully as Hendrix. Whether he was taking on Bob Dylan, The Beatles, or The Animals, Jimi always managed to do the original track justice while bringing som...

Electronic Musician Four Tet Wins Major Streaming-Royalty Dispute With Domino Records - Variety

Image
In a significant development in the battle over streaming royalties, veteran electronic musician Four Tet has settled his dispute with U.K.-based Domino Recordings and will receive an unusually high 50% royalty rate for streaming and downloads on songs covered in a 2001 contract, according to a report in Music Week. The musician, whose real name is Kieron Hebden, also has been reimbursed for an underpayment of £56,921, plus interest. While the terms of the deal have been publicly disclosed, the fact that it was settled out of court means that it cannot be cited as a judgement in other cases. However, the settlement is significant in that it finds a large independent record label treating streaming income as a license rather than sale, and could be used as a precedent in such disputes in other ways, not least as an inspiration for other musicians to make a similar stand. A rep for Domino did not immediately respond to Variety 's request for comment. At the core of the long...

In honor of Sir Paul McCartney 's 80th birthday (June 18), Billboard looks back at his top 40 biggest songs on the Billboard Hot 100 as a solo artist and with his band Wings . With nine No. 1s  — outside of The Beatles' record-holding 20 — McCartney is no stranger to the Hot 100. His first solo appearance on the chart came with the release of the double single "Another Day"/"Oh Woman Oh Why," which peaked at No. 5 in April 1971. He went on to chart 22 more top 10 smashes, and a total of 46 hits on the list. McCartney's biggest Hot 100 hit is Wings' "Silly Love Songs," which ruled the weekly chart for five non-consecutive weeks in May, June and July of 1976. His second biggest hit is his chart-topping collaboration with Michael Jackson, "Say Say Say," which spent six weeks at No. 1 in late 1983 and early 1984. McCartney — an 18-time Grammy Award winner — has also reigned on the list with further collaborative effort...
