| | Louis Armstrong 16 Most Requested Songs CD Louis Armstrong Discography of CDs
Recorded between 1955 and 1966. Includes liner notes by George Avakian.
Most of the tracks on this collection come from the mid-'50s, when Louis Armstrong was enjoying a boost in his half-century career. Part of his popularity stemmed from the success of "Mack the Knife," which sold more than a million copies and addressed the decidedly un-pop-song-like subject of a natty, stealthy killer. "Dig man--there goes Mack the Knife" Louis cheerfully states at the top.
Between his stinging, swinging trumpet stylings and his unexplainably perfect baritone voice, Armstrong possessed more expressivity than a busload of musicians. He also strode the line between art and entertainment like no one else. Many of the songs here were in his band's repertoire for decades. In addition to "Mack the Knife," highlights include an upbeat "All of Me," the dark and sad hues of "Black & Blue," the raucous "(Back Home Again In) Indiana," and the loose and comical "Back o'Town Blues," wherein other band members vocally chide and egg on their leader. Two charming duets with Velma Middleton are included and fine supportive playing throughout comes from the likes of Trummy Young and Arvell Shaw. While these are arguably not Armstrong's most important sides, this collection is an admirable showcase for jazz's most influential elder statesman.
This is part of Legacy's 16 MOST REQUESTED series.

STIMULATOR ON TOUR WITH THE GO-GO'S NOW!"Seriously sassy n'catchy pop, Stimulator led by sultry singer Susan Hyatt (Pillbox) & guitarist-producer Geoff Tyson (Snake River Conspiracy) play radio-friendly Blondie meets Garbage style grinds to seduce with robust hooks & big choruses all buffed to a slinky sparkly sheen"- - LA Weekly The year was 1978 - The hands of America were glued to an Atari joystick, Olivia Newton-John became every boy's fantasy in Grease, and rock n' roll got kissed by seductive synth beats. For music, it was an era of contradiction in the best possible way. New wave, punk and disco may have had their own fervent -and very separate- followings, but they had more in common than each cared to admit. "People weren't afraid to have bad haircuts, or wear day glow or sing about ants invading," says singer/songwriter Susan Hyatt - the steamy yet strong female presence of Stimulator. Stimulator's quirky retro feel (which helped them score high profile gigs with the likes of Berlin & Missing Persons) is just one layer here. Make no mistake, this is a thoroughly modern musical unit with an impressive array of credentials and an understanding of technology's ever-evolving role in music. Susan Hyatt, not only had a Top 20 single in the UK with her grungy-rock group Pillbox, she was also a well-known VJ on Londons' MP3TV. More recently, she served as a consultant to Gina Gershon for the girl rock flick "Prey For Rock n' Roll." Geoff Tyson, the songwriter/producer of Stimulator, best known as the former ax-man for gloomy grinders Snake River Conspiracy, but before that his riff skills were honed and refined by the best: he's worked in the ...
