Hi Michael!

I've been playing Even More SuperHits of the 70s at the beer store I work at and it's a HIT!

I wonder if you (or the station) still have the previous collections so I can grab at the next fundraiser.

I'd go Craig Finn, but that's just me. For the greatest living songwriter, that is.
Avatar 11:57am
Michael Shelley:

Fernando- I get that question a lot - and the short answer is: if the station has copies of an old premium they're usually happy to give it to you if you'd prefer it over a current one - just write a note when you send payment - and they'll do their best to please you. When in doubt - email listener services honcho Joe Mcgasko - nicest guy in the world - and he'll tell you what's possible - but our policy is to make folks who pledge happy.

Four Freshman are the vocal group equivalent of the white modern jazz big bands from the '40s like Claude Thornhill or Charlie Barnett who were interpolating the new bebop harmonies into their arrangements. Yes, they are suuuuuper white, but rooted in bop and there really isn't a more African American form than bebop.

TY Sir for address!

...I presume we're excluding Dylan, Cohen & Sir Macca to make it interesting. Dylan has noted Carole King, & Goffin & King were Lennon & Macca's team model of course. Ray Davies is maybe the one whose turn it is to be more widely credited as such?

One thing about Jazz is it works off Standards, so has that connection to 'White' Pop. No untangling the threads every whichway...Jazz of course has to Swing.

Juke Joint Jonny:

You need both rhythmic and harmonic invention for good bebop. The pop bop white bands tended to focus on the harmony, which of course the boppers often found through studying modern classical music. It isn't all black and white…

That Wilson clip was kind of sad....and fast. Didn't realize it was Terry Gross until I saw that it was from "Fresh Air." Brian sounded a bit higher-pitched too, but maybe that was due to whatever Landy was prescribing for him.
