Peter Paul & Mary

If we had a DeLorean we would find ourselves in 1967 !!


Peter, Paul and Mary was an American folk group formed in New York City in 1961, during the American folk music revival phenomenon. The trio was composed of tenor Peter Yarrow, baritone Noel Paul Stookey and contralto Mary Travers. The group's repertoire included songs written by Yarrow and Stookey, early songs by Bob Dylan as well as covers of other folk musicians. After the death of Travers in 2009, Yarrow and Stookey continued to perform as a duo under their individual names.

In December 1969 "Leaving on a Jet Plane", written by the group's friend John Denver, became their only No. 1 single (as well as their final top 40 pop hit) and the group's sixth million-selling gold single. The track first appeared on their million-selling platinum certified Album 1700 in 1967 (which also contained their No. 9 hit "I Dig Rock and Roll Music").

Jan August

Some great piano playing now !!.....First time I've heard of Jan August definatly joining my Fav's along with Andre Previn & Peter Nero !!

Jan August (born Jan Auggustoff; 24 September 1904 in New York City – 9 January 1976 in New York City) was an American pianist and xylophonist. He had a hit with his version of "Misirlou" in 1947 with Carl Frederick Tandberg.

August was self-taught, started his career playing in the Greenwich Village clubs as a teenager. Later played with Paul Whiteman.

In the early 1950s he was recording on Mercury; one notable Mercury side is a swinging and thoughtful arrangement of "Hot Lips". Later LP albums demonstrated a shift away from August's distinctive earlier style, toward the semi-satirical "honky-tonk" style of the late 50s personified by such artists as Joe "Fingers" Carr.

Jack Jones

John Allan Jones (born January 14, 1938) is an American jazz and pop singer and actor. He is the son of actor/singer Allan Jones and Irene Hervey.

Jones is primarily a straight-pop singer (even when he recorded contemporary material) whose forays into jazz are mostly of the big-band/swing variety. He has won two Grammy Awards.

Jones continues to perform concerts around the world, and remains popular in Las Vegas. He is perhaps most widely known for his recordings of "Lollipops and Roses" (1962 Grammy Award, Best Pop Male Performance), "Wives and Lovers" (1964 Grammy Award, Best Pop Male Performance), "The Race Is On," "The Impossible Dream," "Call Me Irresponsible," "Lady," and "The Love Boat Theme." Jones also sang the opening theme tune for the 1968 film Anzio, "This World Is Yours".

Diane Renay

Diane Renay (born July 13, 1945), born Renee Diane Kushner, is an American pop singer, best known for her 1964 hit song, "Navy Blue".
Signed to 20th Century-Fox Records as Diane Renay, her debut single was issued in early 1964 and managed to place at number six in the late winter of 1964.
Renay made her debut on the Pop/Rock charts in 1963 with "Tender," which became a minor hit. Her fame took off in early 1964 with the upbeat, girl group-styled "Navy Blue." Co-written by Bob Crewe, Bud Rehak, and Eddie Rambeau, this song became a Top 10 Pop/Rock hit.
Renay followed this up in the spring with the equally attractive "Kiss Me, Sailor" by Rambeau and Rehak, which seemed to recall both "Popsicles and Icicles" by the Murmaids and "It's My Party" by Leslie Gore in some very attractive ways, and which made the Top 30. With two hits behind her, Renay recorded a full album under Crewe's guidance with Sid Bass and Charlie Calello.

Judy Garland & Liza Minnelli

     On the night on November 8, 1964, Judy Garland and Liza Minnelli gave
the first of two concerts together at the London Palladium. In the Fifty Six
years since, those two concerts have become legendary for fans of both
Garland and Minnelli, for a variety of reasons.

This seems To be both Concerts all 40 Tracks CD version...The back cover is the L/P version with the tracks in different playing order.....Maybe the L/P version was made up of tracks that are mixed up from the two concerts...

Andre Popp

André Charles Jean Popp (19 February 1924 – 10 May 2014) was a French composer, arranger and screenwriter.

In 1957, Popp released Delirium in Hi-Fi (originally titled Elsa Popping et sa musique sidérante), a collaboration with Pierre Fatosme, an experiment in the recording techniques of the time. ( which is a few posts below this one ) !!
Popp made one-of-a-kind space-age instrumental recordings during the 1950s and by the early 1960s had built quite a good reputation in the music recording industry and was in demand as an arranger. He made orchestrations for Rive Gauche legend Juliette Gréco that were jazzy, urbane, vibrant, quirky, even cartoonish at times. The arrival of rock and roll in France and, consequentially, yé-yé music, dramatically changed the expectations of French audiences and record buyers.

Herbie Mann

Brazil: Once Again is an album by jazz flautist Herbie Mann which was recorded in 1977 and released on the Atlantic label. The album marks Mann's return to the Brazilian influences that first emerged on his early 1960s albums like Right Now, Brazil, Bossa Nova & Blues, Do the Bossa Nova with Herbie Mann and Herbie Mann Live at Newport.

Herbert Jay Solomon (April 16, 1930 – July 1, 2003), known by his stage name Herbie Mann, was an American jazz flautist and important early practitioner of world music. Early in his career, he also played tenor saxophone and clarinet (including bass clarinet), but Mann was among the first jazz musicians to specialize on the flute. His most popular single was "Hijack", which was a Billboard No. 1 dance hit for three weeks in 1975.

Mann was an early pioneer of the fusion of jazz and world music. In 1959, following a State Department sponsored tour of Africa, he recorded Flautista!, an album of Afro-Cuban jazz. In 1961 Mann toured Brazil.

In 1966, Felix became the resident singer on the BBC television programme The Frost Report, presented by David Frost. She hosted her own shows for the BBC from 1967 to 1970.

She had two UK Singles Chart hits in 1970, the first of several on the RAK label, produced by Mickie Most.

In 1990 a new album, Bright Shadows, was released.......( Info Edited From Wikipedia )
