Do you remember back in junior high when you had to do an research report so you used the card catalog to pick the first three on the list hoping you get enough from those sources that you don't have to go back to find more? But then you start flipping through one and you actually WANT TO READ it? THIS is one of THOSE! This book is printed using the old style standard grey photos along with grey "fading newsprint ink" text forcing it to look like an old school library book! This was a surprising little collector's gem. ** My special thanks to Giuliana Caranante for sponsoring the GOODREADS giveaway that I won this in. ** ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: Who knew that Paul McCartney originally referred to Yesterday as 'Scrambled Eggs' because he couldn't think of any lyrics for his heart-breaking tune? Or that Patti LaBelle didn't know what 'Voulez-vous couches avec moi ce soir?' actually meant? These and countless other fascinating back stories of some of our best-known and best-loved songs fill this book, a collection of the highly successful weekly The Life of a Song columns that appear in the FT Weekend every Saturday. Each 600-word piece gives a mini-biography of a single song, from its earliest form (often a spiritual, or a jazz number), through the various covers and changes, often morphing from one genre to another, always focusing on the 'biography' of the song itself while including the many famous artists who have performed or recorded it. The selection covers a wide spectrum of the songs we all know and love - rock, pop, folk, jazz and more. Each piece is pithy, sparkily written, knowledgeable, entertaining, full of anecdotes and surprises. They combine deep musical knowledge with the vivid background of the performers and musicians, and of course the often intriguing social and political background against which the songs were created.
