>>129934887Miller isn't a thing yet for a few more years.
Now that I got out of the Navy I'm going to marry my high school sweetheart, buy a home, and raise three lovely children who totally won't destroy America for their kids and all after them forever.

>>129935010This is his busiest year of recording next to 1956 and 1961 as they're preparing for the upcoming musician's strike.
>>129935015it was actually Mitch Miller who developed him into a pop country singer and Laine then re-joined him at CBS in 1951; they were good friends.
>>129934870The boring years when there is absolutely nothing but sleepytime crooner lullabies.
>>129934965Doris was a pretty flat singer in the 40s, her 50s singing was a lot better.
WHY HE LEFT ME, I DON'T KNOWI LOVED HIM MORE THAN I COULD SHOWI'VE ALWAYS HAD HIM ON MY MINDHE'S JUST MY KIND
>>129935045it was really just three years when that style dominated (47-49) but seems like it was 20
1946-1948Sonatas & Interludes for Prepared PianoJohn Cage the retarded caveman who famously brought us 4'33. A song that spanned 4:33 of him sitting at a piano doing nothing - silence. Brings us his new retarded masterpiece of 1946 - Sonatas & Interludes for Prepared PianoIf you thought a track of silence was bad, check out this gay album in which a 20-piece cycle for a piano is modified with objects like screws, bolts, and rubber between the strings to create percussive sounds. Yada yada yada something about being inspired by Indian philosophy.... nobody gives a Fuck old man, The Beatles did pajeet worship a million times better.

>>129935513>>129935616They'll figure out the latter when the time comes, trust me.
>An unexpected 1947 hit was the dusty old Ted Weems Orchestra disc "Heartaches" from 1931. A North Carolina DJ spun the disc and Decca was soon getting calls from people asking to buy the 16 year old and long out of print recording. The label brought it back and it became a top ten seller.

>>129935771I'd never heard of this Corea place before until they sent my Army unit there. I enlisted with the idea that I'd get to do occupation duty in Japan and hang out with girls in Soapland, instead they send me to this godforsaken mudhole.
Skiffle bros!
>>129935821oh well at least there's not a war going on now

Hello.

>>129936017That early Mercury logo is retarded, glad they soon changed it.
>>129936031well if you look at the Frankie Laine tune linked earlier they didn't use that goofy-ass logo, it must have been for the Celebrity Series, though idk what that means exactly
>>129936017She hit pay dirt on her third disc. That one is next year though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X-5XRAo9RsIt's a song making light of domestic abuse apparently. Also she still had her Cincy accent on these earlier records unlike the generic trans Atlantic voice she does later on.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GjMPVMXeAAJo goes in for a novelty country tune, a cute break from her usual balladeering.
Not a fan of this new bop stuff. Jazz died with Glenn Miller.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F30eXk9WRDs>3:27That is a long record for this era.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztKbgoVEXzgThanks, Captain Corn.
>>129936750at least he didn't do remakes of his stuff like many others.

>>129937202So Connie Haines was kind of this Betty Boop character and she was also extremely cute in the 40s (also Frank Sinatra once saved her from burning to death, wack story there). She mostly quit doing pop music in the 50s and was more into TV. Perhaps she saw where things were going and decided she didn't want to end up recording "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window" kinds of songs. Yet she was also, bizarrely, the first white singer to record for Motown.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3I15_KUsOzsThis song will be more famous later, methinks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_UNuiqOX7oMargaret Whiting was a short-lived late 40s fad but she didn't make the transition into the 50s and soon faded from the charts. But then again, the shameless Doris Day imitation here proves she deserved it. I actually would have thought this was Doris if I didn't know.

>>129937591as he said Page's first 2 discs attracted no attention, "Confess" the third disc she put out was the first hit she had although it was a mid-tier one at #15.
Went down to the Royal in Manhattan last Saturday. Appalling night. The featured act was this Theresa Breur girl whose singing sounded like a pack of alley cats battling over the contents of a trash can on the Lower East Side. The worst part was that she was only 16 so the club didn't allow alcohol to be served while she was out there. A few shots would have made that performance a little more bearable. I'm going to write a Dear John letter to Downbeat to complain about the appalling state of jazz these days. God help us all if some damn fool at one of the labels ever gives her a record contract.

Welcome back Al.
>>129940490https://desuarchive.org/mu/thread/129836206/just realized you guys forgot to mention his death in the 1950 thread last week. /mu/ is slacking.
>>129940494Fuck, I can't believe it either.
>>129940490Who cares about pre-1960s ancient music ? prehistoric slop.

>>129936627Miller was already the beginning of the end, the degradation of jazz into music for housewives. I reckon jazz peaked about '28 and it was never the same again after the Depression began.
welcome to the world, little David Robert Jones! I wonder what you'll become!
>>129934899He's at Mercury in the late 40s, as anon said he developed Frankie Laine into a pop country singer.
>>129936017Trite, unoriginal singing. This girl will be forgotten in a year and half.
>>129935998as anon said he's Chuck Berry's biggest music hero
>>129935959https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TvrCsNRwyEThis is the A-side of the record. She was only a so-so balladeer and her real skill was in those peppy rhythmic dance numbers.
>>129942121Ballads were the "cred" format in this era and everyone wanted to do them but not everyone was as good it as Sinatra or Peggy Lee.
>>129940449isn't that that girl who used to sing on Major Bowles' Amateur Hour?

I don't trust them Russians. What are they doing in Eastern Europe anyway? Looks awfully shady to me.
>>129936900didn't Cuckgau say that Sarah Vaughan sucks and you should never listen to her?
>>129944241Didn't anon say that Cuckgau sucks and you should never listen to his reviews?
>>129942830I want to hold her hand, drive her to the soda shop and slurp a soda with her. The same soda at the same time, oh yeah I am filthy. I would love to just talk about her dreams and find a little spot to cuddle at then drive her home and watch her pretty lips say goodbye to me. If you know what I mean.
>>129944346the entire Les Brown Orchestra probably ran a train through her, not exclusively Terry's dad so enjoy your sloppy seconds, I guess
>>129944619and a few Hollywood people to boot now that she's getting into movies
>>129942414Yes I believe so, when she was a tot. I suppose she's hoping to make it as an adult singer and get signed. If that's what singing is coming to among our young people these days it's appalling.
>>129944619>>129944619No female has a long career in this business unless they offer up all their holes.
>>129944619>Terry's dad is a drunk, violent piece of shit>everyone is like tf Doris? don't date him. what are you doing?>she's like ah what do you know?>once she finds out she's pregnant he tells her to get rid of it>"tf? no I want to keep my baby.">beats the shit out of her and dumps her>Doris gives birth to Terry in early 42, leaves him in the care of his grandparents, and she goes back to touring with LBOThat's pretty much the whole scoop on that.
>>129945018Woman moment.
>>129945018good chance Terry wasn't actually his and she was just trying to trap him into raising the trombonist's kid or something and he knew it
>>129944870>>129935616I guess Kitty didn't fuck and suck enough people to enjoy sustained success.
