The Isley Brothers' first studio album, in 1959, made listeners want to Shout! with its soulful blend of doo-wop, R&B, jazz, rock and roll, and gospel. Ronald, O'Kelly and Rudolph Isley followed up that RCA Victor LP with tenures at labels including Wand, United Artists, Atlantic, and most notably, Motown, before setting up shop at their own T-Neck label. The Isleys' line-up would expand and alter over the years, but their marriage of soul, funk and rock would keep them at the forefront of

Moonlight Serenades: Bruce Kimmel Talks Complete Glenn Miller Soundtracks Coming To CD!
Legendary bandleader Glenn Miller only made two film appearances as an actor. 20th Century Fox's 1941 musical Sun Valley Serenade introduced two standards into the American Songbook - "Chattanooga Choo Choo" and "At Last" - and earned three Academy Award nominations. Its 1942 follow-up, Orchestra Wives, moved Miller from featured status to above-the-title billing and introduced another Oscar-nominated hit, "I've Got a Gal in Kalamazoo." Yet both films, and their remarkable treasure trove of

Review: Jeff Buckley, "You and I"
In February 1993, the young Jeff Buckley entered producer Steve Addabbo's Shelter Island Sound studio in New York City to record a series of demos for his new label, Columbia Records. On these tracks, Buckley explored a variety of material as he found his "voice" in the recording studio. Never intended for release, the Shelter Island demos were discovered during research for the 20th anniversary reissue of the late singer's 1994 breakthrough Grace. Now, Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings

Review: Raspberries, "Raspberries" Vinyl Edition
When Eric Carmen and Wally Bryson of Cyrus Eyrie teamed up with Jim Bonfanti and Dave Smalley of The Choir, the result was pop bliss. The Raspberries emerged from the ashes from the two bands, and over the course of four albums - three with the original line-up, and one with just Carmen and Bryson remaining - they came to define power pop. Yet today, some might wonder: Why is the Cleveland, Ohio band so fondly remembered despite only placing one Top 5 single in the U.S. and two more Top 20s?
UPDATED: Bobby Darin's "Another Song On My Mind: The Motown Years" Coming In May For His 80th!

In Memoriam: George Martin (1926-2016)
Late last evening, March 8, Ringo Starr took to Twitter with a loving message of sad news: "God bless George Martin peace and love to Judy and his family love Ringo and Barbara George will be missed xxx." With the passing of Sir George Martin at the age of 90, the world has lost one of the most influential producers of all time.
