In Memoriam: Jim Nabors (1930-2017)

Masters had just heard Gomer Pyle, the lovably sweet-natured, bumbling gas station attendant portrayed by Jim Nabors with a thick southern drawl, break out in song. Singing along to the traditional Neapolitan melody "Santa Lucia" as he changed a tire on the street

In Memoriam: David Cassidy (1950-2017)
Singer, actor and teen idol David Cassidy passed away yesterday at the age of 67. It seems so strange that the eternally youthful presence behind one of the most enduring pop hits of the '70s, The Partridge Family's "I Think I Love You," would not be with us--never mind having recently retired from the road to care for himself following a diagnosis of the dementia that affected his mother and grandfather. In fact, it was only just over a year ago that Cassidy took the stage at the Count Basie

Big Break Big Round-Up: Spotlight on Spyder Turner, Randy Crawford and Enchantment
Today, we're taking a look at three recent releases from Big Break Records that you just might have missed! Spyder Turner may be best remembered today for a novelty single. His 1967 reworking of Ben E. King's classic "Stand by Me" found him channeling his inner Rich Little or Sammy Davis, Jr. to impersonate such famous voices as James Brown, Sam Cooke, and Smokey Robinson. Love it or loathe it, Turner's "Stand by Me" made it all the way to No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100. But the West
