The Return of the 5000 Lb. Man was Rahsaan Roland Kirk's first album for Warner Brothers, recorded before the stroke that impaired him. Kirk is at full creative and musical strength. These seven tracks are an utter astonishment. Kirk's playing of saxophones, harmonica, flutes, and euphonium is deep, soulful, and even profound in places. "Theme for the Eulipions" (which opens the album), "Giant Steps," and "There Will Never Be Another You" features an all-star band that includes Charlie Persip, a young Hilton Ruiz, bassist Buster Williams, Romeo Perique on baritone saxophone, and Howard Johnson on tuba. The version of "Sweet Georgia Brown," with its wacky percussion and whistling, is so utterly joyful and funky it's perhaps the definitive jazz version of the tune. But it's the readings of Minnie Riperton's "Loving You" and Charles Mingus' "Goodbye Porkpie Hat" that take the album to an entirely new place. They are, though very different from one another, so utterly moving and aesthetically beautiful, they elevate music to the level of poetry. This is one that's utterly necessary for fans, and a very fitting intro for the novice. ~ Thom Jurek Return Of The 5000 LB. Man Music Rahsaan Roland Kirk Return Of The 5000 LB.

Fame can be a fleeting mistress, and nowhere more so than in the land of dance-pop divas. Many are lucky enough to have a hit album, much less two or three. What usually takes a one-hit wonder from the singles charts to career diva lies less in catchy hooks than in a combination of talent ...

Return Of The 5000 LB. Man
$10.59
This multi-media compilation features the definitive female vocal group of the WWII era. The CD portion features unforgettable classics and the DVD is a fun musical from 1942, Private Buckaroo. Included are extensive liner notes, digitaly remastered tracks, and stunningly beautiful artwork.
The Andrews Sisters: LaVerne Andrews, Maxene Andrews, Patty Andrews.
Before the Supremes, the Ronettes, or any other "girl group," the Andrews Sisters were THE American female vocal group. From the late 1930s through the early 1950s, the Sisters racked up hit after hit with their cheerful, dazzling close harmonies and brisk, relentlessly upbeat delivery. BEST OF ANTHOLOGY is a good bet for novices; one disc is a cross-section of their hits; the other is a DVD of the World War II-era movie PRIVATE BUCKAROO, providing some historical context for the Andrews Sisters' songs.
