He was a Swedish tenor and one of the leading operatic singers of the 20th century. Björling appeared for many years at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City and, less frequently, at major European opera houses, including the Royal Opera House in London and La Scala in Milan. He sang the Italian, French, and Russian opera repertory with taste. On March 15, 1960, Björling suffered a heart attack before a performance of La Bohème at Covent Garden. Despite his condition, he insisted on singing, and continued to make performances until his death. On September 9, 1960, aged 49, he died due to heart-related issues. He was survived by his wife of 35 years, Anna-Lisa Björling, a Swedish opera singer and actress. Note: The first 78 RPM record came into existence around 1894, and in 1912 the Gramophone Company established 78 Rotations Per Minute as their recording standard. The production of shellac records continued throughout the 78 rpm era, with "non-breakable" 78 rpm vinyl records being introduced in the 1940s.

The most famous rendition, performed by Nat King Cole, was distributed by Capitol Records. Initially debuting on the Billboard Best Seller chart on January 31, 1953, the song remained on the chart for 20 weeks, reaching its peak position at No. 3.Tops Music Enterprises originated in Los Angeles, California, in 1947 when Carl Doshay and Sam Dickerman, who were "rack jobbers" selling used jukebox 78 RPM records, decided to venture into the record business. They began by producing and selling "knockoff" cover version records at a lower price point than major labels, targeting venues like grocery stores and drug stores. As the company's success grew, it relocated to Hollywood and enlisted Dave Pell as a house producer and arranger in the mid-1950s. Recognizing the changing landscape with the rise of 45 RPM singles and Long Play records (LPs), Tops started recording established artists who were past their commercial peak, like Lena Horne, Mel Tormé. Publicist Bob Blythe, along with a group of investors, purchased the company in 1960. Blythe took control, displacing Doshay, but his overspending ultimately drove Tops into bankruptcy. Despite attempts by the investor group to remove Blythe, the damage was done. Tops and its assets were sold to Pickwick International, Inc., and by 1963, Pickwick had absorbed Tops/Mayfair/P.R.I. labels into its own operations.Note: The first 78 RPM record came into existence around 1894, and in 1912 the Gramophone Company established 78 Rotations Per Minute (RPM) as their recording standard.

The son of Russian Jewish immigrants, Kaufman found his early footing in the entertainment world as part of The Kaufman Brothers ensemble alongside his siblings Phillip and Jack. His career took a notable turn between 1913 and 1919 when he joined The Avon Comedy Four, a group celebrated for its blend of comedy and music, laying the groundwork for Kaufman's expansive recording career. Though primarily recognized for his vaudeville performances, Kaufman's contribution to music transcended genre boundaries. He collaborated with jazz luminaries like Leon "Bix" Beiderbecke and the Dorsey Brothers, showcasing a voice that adapted seamlessly to both acoustic and electrical recording technologies. His prolific output in the 1920s secured his status as one of the era's defining voices. After a heart attack forced him into retirement in 1949, Kaufman stepped away from the spotlight, making a brief return in 1974 with the release of "Reminisce With Irving Kaufman." This collection, featuring a mix of old recordings and new performances with his second wife, Belle Brooks, served as a nostalgic nod to his enduring legacy. Kaufman's final years were spent in Palm Springs, California, until his death at the age of 85, on January 3, 1976, in Indio, California.Note: The first 78 RPM record came into existence around 1894, and in 1912 the Gramophone Company established 78 Rotations Per Minute (RPM) as their recording standard.

The contest was promoted by the C&H Sugar Company and AG Stores, a chain of independently owned groceries stores which operated in Arizona during this time. At the time of this interview, the era of tourist air travel was still in its infancy. This recording provides a glimpse into the thoughts and attitudes of that time.Brief history of KOY Radio:Arizona's first radio station signed on in 1921 from Phoenix as an amateur radio station. In 1922, it received a commercial license as KFCB. The station became KOY in 1929 and began broadcasting with 500 watts. By 1948, it was broadcasting at 5,000 watts. From 1932 to 1949, it was the CBS affiliate in Phoenix. When KOOL took the CBS affiliation in 1949, KOY became a mutual affiliate. Its sister FM station, KRFM, was launched in 1963. It is today known as KYOT-FM.Note: The first 78 RPM record came into existence around 1894, and in 1912 the Gramophone Company established 78 Rotations Per Minute (RPM) as their recording standard. The production of shellac records continued throughout the 78 rpm era, with "non-breakable" 78 rpm vinyl records being introduced in the 1940s. The popularity of the 33 1/3 rpm "Long Play" record, initially released in 1948, caused the 78 rpm record to become obsolete before the end of the 1950s. As these 78 rpm recordings are quite old, they may contain derogatory language and/or negative stereotypes. It is important to evaluate such recordings within their historical context and consider them as a reflection of the attitudes prevalent at the time.

Despite his tragically short life, he achieved remarkable success and became a legendary figure in the genre. Williams was born in Mount Olive, Alabama. He developed a passion for music at a young age, learning to play the guitar and honing his songwriting skills. In the late 1930s, he began performing on local radio stations, gaining recognition for his soulful vocals and heartfelt lyrics. His breakthrough came in the late 1940s when he signed with MGM Records and released a string of hit songs, including "Lovesick Blues," "Hey, Good Lookin'," and "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry." Williams' unique blend of honky-tonk, blues, and folk elements resonated with audiences, earning him widespread popularity and establishing him as one of country music's leading figures. Tragically, Williams battled personal demons, including alcohol and drug addiction, throughout his career. These struggles affected his health and led to a decline in his performances. On January 1, 1953, while being driven to Canton, Ohio, for a New Year's Day concert, Williams died in West Virginia due to heart failure at the age of 29. His untimely death left a void in the music industry and among his devoted fans. Despite his brief career, Hank Williams' impact on country music cannot be overstated. His heartfelt, emotionally charged songs spoke to the common experiences of ordinary people. Williams' influence extended beyond his own era, inspiring countless musicians in subsequent generations. His songs have become enduring classics and have been covered by a wide range of artists across various genres. Williams' poignant storytelling, distinctive vocal style, and songwriting prowess have cemented his legacy as one of the greatest and most influential figures in country music history. Today, Hank Williams is remembered as an icon whose contributions continue to shape the genre. His music remains timeless, captivating audiences with its raw authenticity and emotional depth. From his birth in Alabama to his untimely death, his remarkable career and lasting legacy are a testament to his enduring impact on country music and his status as a true legend.Note: The first 78 RPM record came into existence around 1894, and in 1912 the Gramophone Company established 78 Rotations Per Minute (RPM) as their recording standard.

Blank discs are placed on the turntable of the disc cutting lathe and a music groove is cut into the blank surface. Prior to widespread usage of magnetic tape, radio stations and studios all used disc cutting lathes. It was not unusual for an artist to leave the recording studio with an "acetate" under their arm or record company staff to have a few discs cut to rush them to radio stations for promotional use. "Actetates" are lathe-cut records. They are not record pressings and they have never seen the inside of a record press.

He was an American clarinetist and bandleader known as the "King of Swing". Goodman's bands started the careers of many jazz musicians. During an era of racial segregation, he led one of the first integrated jazz groups, his quartet and quintet. He performed nearly to the end of his life while exploring an interest in classical music. He died in New York City on June 13, 1986 at the age of 77.Note: The first 78 RPM record came into existence around 1894, and in 1912 the Gramophone Company established 78 Rotations Per Minute (RPM) their recording standard. The production of shellac records continued throughout the 78 rpm era, with "non-breakable" 78 rpm vinyl records being introduced in the 1940s. The popularity of the 33 1/3 rpm "Long Play" record, initially released in 1948, caused the 78 rpm record to become obsolete before the end of the 1950s.

David Brooks as Tommy Albright; Marion Bell as Fiona MacLaren; Pamela Britton as Meg Brockie; Lee Sulivan as Charlie Dalrymple.Act OneBrigadoon is the story of two Americans, Tommy and Jeff, who are lost in the Scottish Highlands and stumble upon a village, not on the map, called “Brigadoon”. At the village fair that sunny May morning, “Down On MacConnachy Square”, Tommy meets a pert and lovely lass named Fiona MacLaren, who is busy today helping her sister prepare for her wedding to young Charlie Dalrymple, which is to take place that evening. Fiona, the older, is not married but is, as she says, “Waitin' For My Dearie”. The men arrive at he square and hear Charlie tell of his feelings about his approaching marriage in “I'll Go Home With Bonnie Jean”. Tommy, intrigued by the talk of a miracle and the odd quaintness of the town and his sudden attraction to Fiona, decides to stay the day out. And he and Fiona go off to gather heather for the wedding, to “The Heather On The Hill”. Later that day, at the MacLaren house, Charlie arrives to sign the family Bible and, because of the old superstition preventing the bride and groom from seeing each other the day of the wedding, sings to her through the closed door “Come To Me, Bend To Me”. Now Tommy and Fiona return from a lovely day together and tell Jeff they find it's “Almost Like Being In Love”. But Tommy presses her to explain the mystery of the village, and Fiona takes them to visit the schoolmaster of the town who reveals that Brigadoon was miraculously blessed two hundred years ago, and that it lapses into a sleep from which it awakens only one day in every hundred years. No villager is allowed to leave, or the enchantment will be broken and the town will disappear forever. A stranger, however, can stay if he falls in love. Now all go down to the church yard for the wedding. Following the simple ceremony, the bride's broken-hearted suitor decides to run away and destroy the town. As he runs from the church yard, the curtain falls for the end of Act One.Act TwoThe men, in a chase through the forest, succeed in stopping the runaway, but only when he is found dead, seemingly from having struck his head on a rock. Back in the glen, Tommy tells Fiona he is in love with her, in “There But For You Go I”, and makes up his mind to stay in Brigadoon with her. Meanwhile, a lass of the village, Meg Brockie, entertains the wedding guests with “My Mother's Wedding Day”.Now Tommy tells Jeff of his decision to stay. But then he discovers that Jeff was the inadvertent killer of the runaway. The shock of his friend's confession, and Jeff's persuasion that the place is a dream, makes him doubt Fiona and the town. So as the day ends, he leaves her, in “From This day On”.

David Brooks as Tommy Albright; Marion Bell as Fiona MacLaren; Pamela Britton as Meg Brockie; Lee Sulivan as Charlie Dalrymple.Act OneBrigadoon is the story of two Americans, Tommy and Jeff, who are lost in the Scottish Highlands and stumble upon a village, not on the map, called “Brigadoon”. At the village fair that sunny May morning, “Down On MacConnachy Square”, Tommy meets a pert and lovely lass named Fiona MacLaren, who is busy today helping her sister prepare for her wedding to young Charlie Dalrymple, which is to take place that evening. Fiona, the older, is not married but is, as she says, “Waitin' For My Dearie”. The men arrive at he square and hear Charlie tell of his feelings about his approaching marriage in “I'll Go Home With Bonnie Jean”. Tommy, intrigued by the talk of a miracle and the odd quaintness of the town and his sudden attraction to Fiona, decides to stay the day out. And he and Fiona go off to gather heather for the wedding, to “The Heather On The Hill”. Later that day, at the MacLaren house, Charlie arrives to sign the family Bible and, because of the old superstition preventing the bride and groom from seeing each other the day of the wedding, sings to her through the closed door “Come To Me, Bend To Me”. Now Tommy and Fiona return from a lovely day together and tell Jeff they find it's “Almost Like Being In Love”. But Tommy presses her to explain the mystery of the village, and Fiona takes them to visit the schoolmaster of the town who reveals that Brigadoon was miraculously blessed two hundred years ago, and that it lapses into a sleep from which it awakens only one day in every hundred years. No villager is allowed to leave, or the enchantment will be broken and the town will disappear forever. A stranger, however, can stay if he falls in love. Now all go down to the church yard for the wedding. Following the simple ceremony, the bride's broken-hearted suitor decides to run away and destroy the town. As he runs from the church yard, the curtain falls for the end of Act One.Act TwoThe men, in a chase through the forest, succeed in stopping the runaway, but only when he is found dead, seemingly from having struck his head on a rock. Back in the glen, Tommy tells Fiona he is in love with her, in “There But For You Go I”, and makes up his mind to stay in Brigadoon with her. Meanwhile, a lass of the village, Meg Brockie, entertains the wedding guests with “My Mother's Wedding Day”.Now Tommy tells Jeff of his decision to stay. But then he discovers that Jeff was the inadvertent killer of the runaway. The shock of his friend's confession, and Jeff's persuasion that the place is a dream, makes him doubt Fiona and the town. So as the day ends, he leaves her, in “From This day On”. Note: The first 78 RPM record came into existence around 1894, and in 1912 the Gramophone Company established 78 Rotations Per Minute (RPM) as their recording standard. The production of shellac records continued throughout the 78 rpm era, with "non-breakable" 78 rpm vinyl records being introduced in the 1940s. The popularity of the 33 1/3 rpm "Long Play" record, initially released in 1948, caused the 78 rpm record to become obsolete before the end of the 1950s.

Hark! The Larkyoutu.be/vpwmb4wmkPMErnest Arthur Lough was a British chorister who was billed on his recordings as the "Boy Soprano". Born on November 17, 1911 in Forest Gate, Essex, England, Lough gained recognition at the age of 14 when he recorded Hear My Prayer and O, For The Wings Of A Dove (Mendelssohn), for the label HMV (released 1927), and it became one of the first classical records to sell a million copies. His rendition of "O for the Wings of a Dove" remains an enduring contribution to classical and religious music. Ernest Lough died on February 22, 2000, age 88, in Watford, Hertfordshire, England.Sir George Thomas Thalben-Ball (1896–1987) was an English organist, conductor, and composer. Born on June 18, 1896, in Sydney, Australia, he moved to England as a child. Thalben-Ball served as the organist and choirmaster at the Temple Church in London from 1923 to 1982, earning acclaim for his musical contributions. He held the post of Birmingham City Organist from 1937 to 1987, becoming a prominent figure in the British musical scene. Thalben-Ball was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1967 and was knighted in 1982. He died on January 18, 1987, in England, at the age of 90.George Frideric Handel (February 23, 1685 – April 14, 1759) was a German-British Baroque composer well known for his operas, oratorios, anthems, concerti grossi, and organ concertos. Handel received his training in Halle and worked as a composer in Hamburg and Italy before settling in London in 1712, where he spent the bulk of his career and became a naturalised British subject in 1727. He was strongly influenced both by the middle-German polyphonic choral tradition and by composers of the Italian Baroque. In turn, Handel's music forms one of the peaks of the "high baroque" style, bringing Italian opera to its highest development, creating the genres of English oratorio and organ concerto, and introducing a new style into English church music. He is consistently recognized as one of the greatest composers of his age.Note: The first 78 RPM record came into existence around 1894, and in 1912 the Gramophone Company established 78 Rotations Per Minute as their recording standard.

The Record Guild Of America was a children's music label, based in Farmingdale, New York, that was active during the 1940s and 50s. A primary reason for its success was due to their releasing 78 RPM full color picture discs - a novel product for the times. These discs were released in a variety of sizes: 6 1/2", 7", 10" and 12 inch vinyl. Some releases even included 'flexi-discs'. The label later introduced a series of regular vinyl LPs for children branded as "Simon Says".

It is is a two-sided record made of cardboard laminated between two layers of clear plastic "flexidisc". The Record Guild Of America was a children's music label, based in Farmingdale, New York, that was active during the 1940s and 50s. A primary reason for its success was due to their releasing 78 RPM full color picture discs - a novel product for the times. These discs were released in a variety of sizes: 6 1/2", 7", 10" and 12 inch vinyl. Some releases even included 'flexi-discs'. The label later introduced a series of regular vinyl LPs for children branded as "Simon Says". Note: The first 78 RPM record came into existence around 1894, and in 1912 the Gramophone Company established 78 Rotations Per Minute as their recording standard. The production of shellac records continued throughout the 78 rpm era, with "non-breakable" 78 rpm vinyl records being introduced in the 1940s. The popularity of the 33 1/3 rpm "Long Play" record, initially released in 1948, caused the 78 rpm record to become obsolete before the end of the 1950s.

1951 LES PAUL Little Rock Getaway GUITAR Instrumental - 78 RPM Record 78 RPM Records 2024-02-12 | Les Paul – Little Rock Getaway Instrumental Written by Joe Sullivan 78 RPM audio transfer from the Bowness Arts collection of vintage records.Les Paul – Tennessee Waltz / Little Rock GetawayLabel: Capitol Records – C-560 (Canada)Format: Shellac, 10", 78 RPMReleased: 1951Genre: Jazz, PopStyle: InstrumentalOther side of this record: Tennessee Waltzyoutu.be/hoq4eRK5T_wLes Paul was born Lester William Polsfuss on June 9, 1915 in Waukesha, Wisconsin. He was an American jazz, country, and blues guitarist, songwriter, luthier, and inventor. He was one of the pioneers of the solid-body electric guitar, and his prototype, called the Log, served as inspiration for the Gibson Les Paul. Paul taught himself how to play guitar, and while he is mainly known for jazz and popular music, he had an early career in country music. In the 1950s, he and his wife, singer and guitarist Mary Ford, recorded numerous records, selling millions of copies. Paul is credited with many recording innovations. His early experiments with overdubbing (also known as sound on sound), delay effects such as tape delay, phasing, and multitrack recording were among the first to attract widespread attention. His licks, trills, chording sequences, fretting techniques, and timing set him apart from his contemporaries and inspired many guitarists of the present day. Paul is one of a handful of artists with a permanent exhibit in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He is prominently named by the music museum on its website as an "architect" and a "key inductee" with Sam Phillips and Alan Freed. Paul is the only inductee in both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the National Inventors Hall of Fame. Paul died on August 12, 2009, aged 94, in White Plains, New York.Les Paul and Mary Ford were a popular 1950s husband-and-wife musical duo who performed and recorded during 1945–1963. They both sang and played guitars. The couple were introduced to each other by Gene Autry in 1945 and were married on December 31, 1949. They first appeared in the pop charts in 1950. Between the years 1950 and 1954, Les Paul and Mary Ford had 16 top-ten hits including "Tennessee Waltz", "Mockin' Bird Hill", "How High the Moon", "The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise", "Whispering", "My Baby's Coming Home", "Lady of Spain", "Bye Bye Blues", "I'm Sitting on Top of the World", "Vaya Con Dios" and "I'm a Fool to Care". Paul and Ford are famous for creating a makeshift recording studio in their garage where they used multitrack recording to record many of their hits including ‘Lover’, ‘Nola’, ‘Brazil’ and ‘Whispering' with only the two of them. Paul and Ford divorced acrimoniously in December 1964, which also ended the collaboration between the two. The duo have a star in the Recording section of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and in 2009, they were inducted into the Hit Parade Hall of Fame.Note: The first 78 RPM record came into existence around 1894, and in 1912 the Gramophone Company established 78 rotations per minute as their recording standard. The production of shellac records continued throughout the 78 rpm era, with "non-breakable" 78 rpm vinyl records being introduced in the 1940s.

He was an American jazz, country, and blues guitarist, songwriter, luthier, and inventor. He was one of the pioneers of the solid-body electric guitar, and his prototype, called the Log, served as inspiration for the Gibson Les Paul. Paul taught himself how to play guitar, and while he is mainly known for jazz and popular music, he had an early career in country music. In the 1950s, he and his wife, singer and guitarist Mary Ford, recorded numerous records, selling millions of copies. Paul is credited with many recording innovations. His early experiments with overdubbing (also known as sound on sound), delay effects such as tape delay, phasing, and multitrack recording were among the first to attract widespread attention. His licks, trills, chording sequences, fretting techniques, and timing set him apart from his contemporaries and inspired many guitarists of the present day. Paul is one of a handful of artists with a permanent exhibit in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He is prominently named by the music museum on its website as an "architect" and a "key inductee" with Sam Phillips and Alan Freed. Paul is the only inductee in both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the National Inventors Hall of Fame. Paul died on August 12, 2009, aged 94, in White Plains, New York.Les Paul and Mary Ford were a popular 1950s husband-and-wife musical duo who performed and recorded during 1945–1963.
