his Coral hit recordings, out of print for over 30 years, w. chorus & orchestra directed by Dick Jacobs, 15 tracks
Originally released on Coral (57182). Includes liner notes by June Bundy. Digitally remastered by Eliot Goshman (1994, Taragon Studios, Deer Park, New York). Personnel: Steve Lawrence (vocals). Liner Note Author: June Bundy. Recording information: 10/02/1954-08/06/1958. Directors: Dick Jacobs; George Cates. Unknown Contributor Role: Steve Kolanjian. Oldies fans remember Buddy Knox's chart-topper "Party Doll," but Steve Lawrence also enjoyed a number one hit with the song according to the Cash Box charts. By Billboard's accounting it went Top Five and is only one of several hits included on his first Coral album, Songs by Steve Lawrence. Taragon's CD reissue adds three bonus tracks to make the disc a complete collection of Lawrence's Coral hits, of which there were eight. The material is diverse, from light rock to orchestral pop to ethnic numbers like "The Banana Boat Song" and "(The Bad Donkey) Pum-Pa-Lum." Lawrence even released a competing version of Bobby Helms' crossover country hit "Fraulein," although Lawrence's rendition was made exclusively for the pop audience. Songs by Steve Lawrence is an excellent and concise summary of his Coral years. ~ Greg Adams

| | From Bubblegum To Sky Me And Amy And The Two French Boys CD (2000)
Songs By Steve Lawrence
$9.29 THE NEW ALBUM, NOTHING SADDER THAN LONELY QUEEN, IS NOW AVAILABLE AT WWW.EENIEMEENIE.COM!!!From Bubblegum to Sky's debut record, Me and Amy and the Two French Boys, was gloriously accepted as the shimmering and melodic pop illumination that it was. Combining loves for American pop with Japanese kitsch, Bowie and the Beatles with Pink Lady, From Bubblegum to Sky released an album full of "serene sonic textures" and a "sparkling, distinctive pop aesthetic." "I think I was lucky that I grew up in Japan because the pop music over there was amazing. At that point I didn't know who the Beatles were, I never listened to American music. The first American records I heard were Kiss and Saturday Night Fever, '76-ish. Everything I listened to was Japanese, like Pink Lady and so on. If you listen to the Japanese pop music of that time, they'd always use a real orchestra to back up these singers and they'd play these disco-style songs with real strings and everything, so I think that heightened my sensitivity to instrumentation and quality of sound," From Bubblegum to Sky said.So what non-musical entities inspired this sound that critics like to call light and sugary indie pop?"My lyrics, especially on [Me and Amy and the Two French Boys], are super-bitter. They're all about work and how much I hate people. I don't know why it happened. It's kind of like Charles Bukowski's Factotum-its just about work. After awhile, work just chips away at you. So the songs are shallow and hateful."Wait, that doesn't sound like the airy bubblegum response we expected to get. That's not what those pink ladies Mie and Kei would say. And there lies the genius of From Bubblegum to Sky: providing a sweet and sour balance so easy to swallow, that the listener (or even the most astute critic) doesn't question the medicinal value of this sugar."I have gotten a lot of reviews that go, 'I listened to this record and it made me very happy, etc.' And I think, 'Wow, you should listen to the words.' I think those are extremes that I like about it. I'm never really sure about how I feel about something, so I have to take extreme stances to express how I feel about certain issues," he said. But that is the fun of it. Without the concoction of tears and dance in your 8th grade room, you wouldn't have those Moz lyrics tattoed on your arm. Mario Hernandez is From Bubblegum to Sky. It's a solo thing with a band-like moniker. "I chose the name From Bubblegum to Sky, because I didn't want it to be like a "Mario Hernandez" thing. It would feel odd for me to see my name on a record like that. I feel like it's a band, even though it's just me. The things that people are doing to me, or I'm doing to them, or whatever ...
