Mitch Miller’s part in pop history By Elijah Wald Published: August 21 2009 14:38 | Last updated: August 21 2009 14:38
Record producer Mitch Miller took Rosemary Clooney’s ‘Come On-a My House’ to the top of the pop charts for eight weeks in 1951 In the summer of 1966, Paul McCartney stood with his fellow Beatles on stage at Tokyo’s Budokan Hall and counted off the opening beats of “Paperback Writer”. They were starting their final tour and the harmonies were a bit rough but the filmed performance still has a loose infectious energy. That performance is a highlight of The Beatles: Rock Band video game, due to be released on September 9. But instead of using the actual Budokan performance, the gamemakers have manipulated the concert footage to match the studio-recorded version of the song. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/eeca345e-8de1-11de-93df-00144feabdc0.html _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
