ELVIS PRESLEY : Three Songs of Hope

albertdiner 2021-04-29 | From Elvis Presley three songs of hope for difficult times.
PEACE IN THE VALLEY
I BELIEVE
YOU 'LL NEVER WALK ALONE

) Peace In The Valley

Oh well, I'm tired and so weary
But I must go alone
Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes
Well the morning's so bright
And the Lamb is the light
And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes

There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me

Well the bear will be gentle
And the wolves will be tame
And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes
And the beasts from the wild
Shall be led by a child
And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh yes

There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me

DAS PINTELE YID vocal by Benny Zeidman (1914 ) yiddish song / Audio remastered ?

albertdiner 2019-08-05 | From a different audio perhaps restored and remastered. Notice less noise and static but the voice quality of 28 year old Benny Zeidman is altered to a more mature timbre. Compare the two audios presented of this yiddish theatre classic song. The original recording dates back to 1914.

Yiddish song from the musical DAS PINTELE YUD
recorded by Benny Zeidman , baritone
78 RPM Columbia Records ( 1914 )
from THE BORIS THOMASHEFSKY PRODUCTION at THE PEOPLE's THEATRE ( 1909)
DOS PINTELE YID ( A little spark of jewishness )
דאס פּינטעלע יוד (Das Pintele Yud)

Audio quality: Bennie Zeidman
Born on 12 December 1886 in Teplik, Kiev Gubernia, Ukraine.
He recorded the song in 1914 at the age of 28 .
This recording was made 105 years ago
less noise or static i assume it was remastered since the voice of Benny Zeidman acquires a more mature sound compared to this recording here. I always assumed that when recordings are remastered the vocal personality is somewhat altered

RUDOLPH VALENTINO : IMAGES / Stranger in Paradise

albertdiner 2019-05-26 | song STRANGER IN PARADISE from the musical KISMET
vocal by Albert Diner
music by Alexander Borodin ( 1890 )
lyrics by Robert Wright and George Forrest

Lyrics
Oh why do the leaves of the mulberry tree whisper differently now?
And why is the nightingale singing at noon on the mulberry bough?
For some most mysterious reason this isn’t the garden I know…
No, it’s paradise now that was only a garden a moment ago
Take my hand I'm a stranger in paradise
All lost in a wonderland a stranger in paradise
If I stand starry-eyed that's a danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside an angel like you
I saw your face and I ascended
Out of the commonplace into the rare
Somewhere in space I hang suspended
Until I know there's a chance that you'll care
Won't you answer the fervent prayer
Of a stranger in paradise
Don't send me in dark despair from all that I hunger for
But open your angel's arms to the stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be a stranger no more.
.....
And tell me that I need be a stranger no more

Polovtsian Dances" Fly away on the wings of the wind" (Улетай на крыльях ветра) by Alexander Borodin.

YOULL NEVER KNOW vocal Frank Sinatra and Barbra Streisand

albertdiner 2019-03-31 | 1943 a successful year for Frank Sinatra. For the Streisand family of Brooklyn, New York , it was a sad year 1943.
Included are some images of Elmira, New York, CCNY City college, which was Emanuel Streisand's alma mater, and Columbia Teachers College where he was pUrsuing a PH.D.in education..
The alumnus was " an english major at CCNY" a phrase which surfaced in Barbra's first broadway performance in 1962. What a strange coincidence ! . The photo of Barbra's father 04:24-04:29 wearing a hat and a thin moustache bears a strong resemblance to Clark Gable in GONE WITH THE WIND circa 1939 , Another strange coincidence is that Barbra married James Brolin who played the role of Clark Gable in the 1976 film GABLE AND LOMBARD. Perhaps she noticed the resemblance of GABLE , her father and Brolin.

The 1943 academy award for best original song goes to YOU'LL NEVER KNOW from the film Hello, Frisco, Hello., starring Alice Faye.
Music by Harry Warren, lyrics by Mack Gordon, based on a poem by Dorothy Fern Norris.

Superb interpretation by Frank Sinatra in 1943, impressive Barbra Streisand singing this song in 1955 at 13 years old, and her recording of it in 1988.

This video is also a tribute to the 55th anniversary ( LV ) of the Broadway premiere of the musical FUNNY GIRL. Photos of producer Ray Stark, writer Isobel Lennart, composer Jule Styne, lyricist Bob Merril, Jerome Robbins, Mrs. Ray Stark, and co-star Sidney Chaplin., as well as Barbra's mother Diana Streisand Kind ( née Ida Rosen ).

TRIVIA QUESTION : Why did Frank Sinatra ( and also Dick Haymes ) had to record ths song "a cappella" ?
-It was because of a musicians strike which prevented them from making commercial recordings. The strike started in late 1942 and lasted into 1944. Many artists had to record with a background singing group instead of musicians.
For the radio broadcast , Frank Sinatra had Axel Stordahl and his orchestra backing him up.
Strange that Frank Sinatra did not re-record this ballad later in his mature years, as he did with the songs included in the Lp TRILOGY.
Imagine Sinatra in a mature voice and superb phrasing singing this song.
Now imagine Barbra Streisand singing this song a capella with a singing group IL VOLO or IL DIVO as background ? That would complete a ""full circle" and we come back to the 1943 version of the song.

The songs of HARRY WARREN. vocal by Diana Rosen and Barbra Streisand

albertdiner 2019-03-24 | " You Are My Everything" and " You'll Never Know" , great melodies from THE HARRY WARREN SONGBOOK. , as sung here by Diana Rosen and her daughter Barbra Streisand.
Barbra Streisand recorded the song at The Nolan Studios in 1955, when she was a young girl 13 years old.
When they mention THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK , they usually include the songs by George Gershwin, Cole Porter and Irving Berlin. It puzzles me that they seldom include HARRY WARREN, in view of the many standards composed over the decades.
Diana Rosen ( born Ida Rosen ) is Barbra Streisand's mother. She is also known as Diana Streisand, Diana Kind, or Diana Streisand Kind. She is also the mother of female vocalist Roslyn Kind.
There are many anecdotes why she changed her name from Ida to Diana. IDA was a very popular name at the beginning of the 20th century. Many recall the famous actress IDA LUPINO, and the famous song IDA, SWEET AS APPLE CIDER, recorded by EDDIE CANTOR, BING CROSBY, and even BILL HALEY AND THE COMETS. The song that refused to go away. !!!
Whenever IDA uttered her name, people would add " sweet as apple cider".
Some people say that when she married she changed her name legally to DIANA IDA.
Since IDA wanted to be a singer in the style of Jeanette MacDonald, the name Diana sounded better. " Call me Diana "
Diana never became a professional vocalist, but her daughters did.
How much of the story is true, I don't know.
Concerning Barbra's vocal arrangement of YOU'LL NEVER KNOW , one wonders who inspired her to sing in such a mature style at that young age. Some say she was inspired by the way JONI JAMES sang that song. But JONI JAMES recorded the song in 1957, two years after Barbras demo.
Diana Rosen's vocal style and selection of songs was more in the style of operetta, and the music of the films of Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald.

IT HAD TO BE YOU vocal Barbra Streisand and Frank Sinatra

albertdiner 2019-03-18 | Music by Isham Jones and lyrics by Gus Kahn. Popular hit from 1924 and mid 1940s. Frank Sinatra performed it live with the Axel Stordahl
orchestra, and later recorded it in 1979 for his TRILOGY: Past, Present, and Future Lp, under the arrangement of Billy May.
Barbra Streisand recorded the song in 1963 for her Lp Barbra Streisand : The Third Album, arranged and conducted by Ray Ellis.
In 2014, Barbra Streisand re-recorded the song as a duet with
Michael Buble , in an up-tempo arrangement.

Margaret Bourke-White and Erskine Caldwell. the 1936-1942 relationship.
song IT HAD TO BE YOU, as sung by Frank Sinatra and Barbra Streisand.
It was the year 2013 when it was announced that Barbra Streisand
was planning to write and direct a new film based on the relationship between Margaret Bourke-White , renowned photographer and the novelist Erskine Caldwell. Years have passed, and all quiet on the western front. No more mention of that project. Let's hope it will come to be.
The plot of a successful independent talented woman photographer falling in love with and then married to a best selling novelist would make a fascinating screenplay. Two diverse people, she from the north, he from the south, each focused on particular themes, and trying to influence one another. She very technological and futuristic, he more small town, U.S.A. Each one trying to preserve his/her independence.

Here is a quote from Erskine Caldwell n a letter to Margaret Bourke-White ( circa 1939 ):
" You are such a funny girl that when you left you did not say whether you would be gone a day, a week, or a year. "

Now imagine Barbra Streisand directing a film based on these 2
individuals.

Barbra Streisand & Frank Sinatra IVE NEVER BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE

albertdiner 2019-02-28 | From the Broadway musical and film GUYS AND DOLLS.
music and lyrics Frank Loesser

Lyrics
I've never been in love before
Now all at once it's you
It's you forevermore
I've never been in love before
I thought my heart was safe
I thought I knew the score
But this is wine that's all too strange and strong
I'm full of foolish song
And out my song must pour
So please forgive this helpless haze I'm in
I've really never been in love before
But this is wine that's all too strange and strong
I'm full of foolish song
and out my song must pour
So please forgive this helpless haze I'm in
I've really never been in love before

Arrangement by Jeremy Lubbock ( Streisand)

I Didnt Know What Time It Was. Frank Sinatra & Barbra Streisand ( version 2 ).

albertdiner 2019-02-20 | The great Rodgers and Hart love ballad. The first version came to 7 minutes. This is a shorter version , 5 minutes long. But I could not include everything.
Music: Richard Rodgers
Lyrics: Lorenz Hart

GREAT DAY Barbra Streisand and Frank Sinatra, vocal

albertdiner 2019-02-20 | 1929 song by Vincent Youmans with lyrics by Edward Eliscu and Billy Rose. Recorded by Barbra Streisand for a production number in the 1975 film FUNNY LADY and performed by Frank Sinatra during his 1940s radio days..

GREAT DAY was an unsuccessful 1929 Broadway musical famous for 3 songs
GREAT DAY / "Without a Song" and "More Than You Know".

I Didnt Know What Time It Was. Barbra Streisand & Frank Sinatra ( version swing)

albertdiner 2019-02-18 | A classic Rodgers and Hart showtune from the late 1930s. It was included in the 1957 Frank Sinatra film PAL JOEY. even though it was not from that musical. Nelson Riddle's arrangement included two styles. A very slow ballad-like intro followed by an uptempo-swing in the second half.
I always wondered if Sinatra ever recorded this song as a ballad during his Columbia years.

I Didnt Know What Time It Was. Frank Sinatra and Barbra Streisand, vocal

albertdiner 2019-02-17 | I always imagined a duet of this Rodgers and Hart classic sung by
Frank Sinatra and Barbra Streisand. They did record a Gershwin ballad for Frank Sinatra's duets album. I always assumed that Frank Sinatra
recorded this song during his years at Columbia Records, but it did not happen. Frank Sinatra recorded a mixed half-slow/ half uptempo swing version for the Capitol soundtrack of PAL JOEY in 1957.
Here is an imagined duet of this great romantic ballad in the voices of Barbra Streisand and Frank Sinatra.
lyrics

I didn't know what time it was, then I met you
Oh what a lovely time it was, how sublime it was too!
I didn't know what day it was, then you held my hand.
Warm like the month of May it was, and I'll say it was grand.
Grand to be alive, to be young, to be mad, to be yours alone!
Grand to see your face, feel your touch, hear your voice say I'm all your own

I didn't know what time it was
Then I met you
Oh, what a lovely time it was
How sublime it was too!
Oh, I didn't know what day it was
Till you held my hand
Warm like the month of May it was
And I'll say it was grand
Grand to be alive, to be young
To be mad, to be yours alone!
Grand to see your face, feel your touch
Hear your voice say I'm yours alone

I didn't know what year it was
My life was no prize
I wanted love and here it was
Shining out of your eyes
I'm wise
And I know what time it is now

Once I was young
Yesterday, perhaps
Danced with Jim and Paul
And kissed some other chaps
Once I was young
But never was naive
I thought I had a trick or two
Up my imaginary sleeve
But now I know I was naive

They say its wonderful ...( love song) Frank Sinatra and Eileen Wilson, vocal

albertdiner 2019-02-15 | Composed by IRVING BERLIN for the Broadway musical ANNIE GET YOUR GUN in 1946.
FRANK SINATRA recorded many great standards during his contract at COLUMBIA RECORDS, for example this great love song by IRVING BERLIN.
Eileen Wilson recalls AVA GARDNER's singing in the film ONE TOUCH OF VENUS. Eileen Wilson was a great vocalist and she sang on the soundtrack of many film musicals during the 1940s and 1950s.

They say that falling in love is wonderful
It's wonderful, so they say

And, with a moon up above, it's wonderful
It's wonderful, so they tell me

I can't recall who said it
I know I never read it
I only know they tell me that love is grand
And

The thing that's known as romance is wonderful, wonderful
In every way, so they say

To leave your house some morning
And, without any warning
You're stopping people, shouting that love is grand
And

To hold a girl in your arms is wonderful, wonderful
In every way
So they say

They say its wonderful. ( Love song) vocal by Eileen Wilson

Voici des larmes, c'est fini le charme,
Voici venir l'arrachement des adieux
Tu me delaisses, O quelle detresse
Ne plus revoir l'enchantement de tes grands yeux

Ton amour est lasse, Deja
Le bonheur efface Deja
Je n'ai plus rien sur la terre,
que ma douleur solitaire
Acheve le roman Deja
Oublies les serments Deja
Sur mon coeur est passe le vent d'automne
Ton amour est passe Deja.

Sans ta tendresse, tes tendres caresses,
Je ne pourrais plus exister desormais
O sois sensible, car c'est trop terrible
De ne pouvoir plus adorer ce qu'on aimait

Ton amour est lasse Deja
Le bonheur efface Deja
Je n'ai plus rien sur la terre
que ma douleur solitaire
Acheve le roman Deja
Oublies les serments Deja
Sur mon coueur est passe le vent d'automne
Ton amour est passe Deja

y que al regresar parece decir:
No olvides, hermano, vos sabés que no hay que jugar...

Por una cabeza, metejón de un día,
de aquella coqueta y risueña mujer
que al jurar sonriendo, el amor que está mintiendo,
quema en una hoguera todo mi querer.

Por una cabeza
todas las locuras,
su boca que besa
borra la tristeza,
calma la amargura.

Por una cabeza
si ella me olvida
qué importa perderme,
mil veces la vida
para qué vivir...

Cuántos desengaños, por una cabeza,
yo juré mil veces, no vuelvo a insistir,
pero si un mirar me hiere al pasar,
su boca de fuego, otra vez, quiero besar.

Basta de carreras, se acabó la timba,
un final reñido yo no vuelvo a ver,
pero si algún pingo llega a ser fija el domingo,
yo me juego entero, qué le voy a hacer.

Por una cabeza
todas las locuras,
su boca que besa
borra la tristeza,
calma la amargura.

Por una cabeza
si ella me olvida
qué importa perderme,
mil veces la vida
para qué vivir...

recorded by RCA VICTOR as a 78 RPM in 1938
enjoy, enjoy

Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely night
dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
And now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song

Beside a garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain

The Hallaca tastes even better the day after, when all the flavors of the ingredients have "blended" overnight.

Great IDEA* You can use your thanksgiving leftovers as ingredients to make delicious HALLACAS.

LA AREPA MOSAICA

albertdiner 2018-06-07 | Tradicion familiar.
Que vino primero , la AREPA o el HUEVO ? preguntan los eruditos.
No importa. Aqui se complementan.
LA AREPA MOSAICA basada en la famosa MATZOH BALL de la cuisina mosaica. Se incorporan los detalles en la preparacion de la popular AREPA, para conseguir una arepa mas suave, mas nutritiva y mas rendidora.

INGREDIENTES
2-1/2 tazas de harina de arepa
1 huevo
5 tazas de agua
1 cuchara de sal
1 cuchara de aceite

Los aspectos mas importante de esta receta son el agua hervida y el huevo, lo cual cambia por completo la textura de la arepa, haciendola mucho mas suave y al mismo tempo mas nutritiva.

How do you say AREPAS in yiddish? AREPES
it rhymes with EPES ( SOMETHING ALGO ) . Therefore the expression " AREPES, ES EPES " which means AREPAS, eat some "

Leftover Arepas Mosaicas ? Keep refrigerated and add to next day soup recipes. They make great "Dumplings ".

NEXT DAY AREPAS Cut the AREPA in half, and warm it in a MICROWAVE for 1 minute. The AREPA will be soft to eat. Great with Mozarella cheese.

GREENSLEEVES ............Vocal Albert Diner

albertdiner 2018-03-21 | Traditional English folk song., dating back to the Elizabethan era.

GREENSLEEVES, a timeless song if ever there was one.

LYRICS:

GREENSLEEVES

Alas, my love, you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously
For I have loved you well and long
Delighting in your company

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady greensleeves

Alas, my love, that you should own
A heart of wanton vanity
So must I meditate alone
Upon your insincerity

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady greensleeves

albertdiner 2018-01-21 | I always imagined Leonard Cohen singing the Alex North- Hy Zaret classic UNCHAINED MELODY., but it never came to be. Leonard Cohen did record Hy Zaret's THE PARTISAN SONG, but not this one.
LEONARD COHEN recorded mostly his own compositions. Yet this song seems to be custom made to his personality. A lover's lament if there ever was one. Very sad lyrics.

Music: JEROME KERN
Lyrics: DOROTHY FIELDS

Here is a great arrangement of this standard of the Great American Songbook, winner of the Academy Award for Best Original Song of 1936.

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight.

You're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.

You're lovely, never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.

You're lovely, never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight.
Just the way you look tonight.
Just the way you look tonight.

Lyrics

The more I see you,
The more I want you
Somehow this feeling
Just grows and grows
With every sigh
I become more mad about you
More lost without you and so it goes

Can you imagine how much I love you?
The more I see you as years go by
I know the only one for me can only be you
My arms won't free you, my heart won't try

I know the only one for me
Can only be you
My arms won't free you,
My heart won't try

Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme LAS VEGAS

albertdiner 2009-02-26 | Steve and Eydie married in Las Vegas way back in December 1957.
They are always a top attraction there, and elsewhere.
Here they sing that great standard FLY ME TO THE MOON .( In Other Words)

From wikipedia:
"Frank Sinatra recorded the song on his 1964 album It Might as Well Be Swing accompanied by Count Basie. The arrangement by Quincy Jones has become the rendition by which most people recognise the song. Jones changed the time signature, which was originally 3/4 waltz-time, to 4/4 and gave it a 'swing' feel. Sinatra's recording was a hit and was played to the astronauts of Apollo 10, on their lunar mission. [1] Sinatra also performed the song with Basie on 1966's Sinatra at the Sands, and on 1994's Duets II, his final recording of "Fly Me to the Moon" and his final collaboration with Antonio Carlos Jobim. He also performed this song in 1969 TV-show "Sinatra", there he dedicated it to the Apollo astronauts "who made the impossible possible".

"Fly Me to the Moon" is a pop standard song written by Bart Howard in 1954. When introduced by Felicia Sanders on the cabaret circuit, it was originally titled "In Other Words". The song became popularly called "Fly Me to the Moon" from its first line, but it took a few years for the publishers to change the title officially."

THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK
song IN OTHER WORDS (FLY ME TO THE MOON)
Music and lyrics: BART HOWARD (1954)
sung by Eydie Gorme in the LP EYDIE IN LOVE (1958)
Lyrics:

Poets often use many words
To say a simple thing
It takes thought and time and rhyme
To make a poem sing.

With music and words I've been playing
For you I have written a song
To be sure that you'll know what I'm saying
I'll translate as i go along

Fly me to the moon,
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars
In other words: Hold my hand!
In other words: Darling, kiss me!

Fill my heart with song,
And let me sing forever more
You are all I long for all I worship and adore
In other words: Please be true!
In other words: I love you!

In other words: Please be true!
In other words: I love you!

Thats a Fine Kind O Freedom Barbra Streisand, vocal

albertdiner 2008-12-23 | On the inauguration of President elect Barack Obama, January 20, 2009.
Many are wondering if Barbra Streisand will perform at the inauguration. What songs will she sing? Will she sing her big hits
Evergreen, The Way We Were, People, etc., or will she CHANGE and do
a more reflective song, like her great version of Harold Arlen's
"That's a Fine Kind O' Freedom" which she recorded in 1969.

Music: Harold Arlen
Lyrics: Martin Charnin

Bird up above see what he's got
Freedom to fly and the freedom to not
De dum that's a fine kind o' freedom
Look at him go way up above
Look at the crow he's as free as the dove
De dum that's a sweet sorta freedom
He owns the clear blue
Sittin' on his sunbeam
Could be there's one beam there for me
Bird up above man up a tree
Don't have to fly but he's gotta be free
De dum that's a fine kind o' freedom
Bird up above see what he got
Freedom to fly and the freedom to not
De dum that's a fine kind o' freedom
Fly where he like
Like where he fly
Don't have to go to the back of the sky
De dum that's a fine kind o' freedom
Wake up you glum bird
Help us overcome bird
Freedom has slumbered all too long
Bird up above man up a tree
Don't have to fly but he gotta be free
Have to find the thing that he's after
Free and equilibrium
De dum that's a fine kind o' freedom
Hey bird,you could show him the way bird
You can show him today bird
Oh yes indeedum that's a fine kind o' freedom

HAROLD ARLEN and MARTIN CHARNIN:
Around 1965, famed composer Harold Arlen
and lyricist Martin Charnin began writing songs for a musical about black
performer JOSEPHINE BAKER. A few songs
were written. Harold Arlen himself performed the song THAT"S A FINE KIND OF
FREEDOM on his LP HAROLD sings ARLEN
(with friend*) The friend on his Lp was
Barbra Streisand, who performed two
songs. Harold Arlen is Barbra Streisand's favorite composer.
If one analyzes the lyrics of the song
it deals with segregation, and racial
discrimination. It is a pity that the
musical about Josephine Baker with
music by Harold Arlen-Martin Charnin
never opened, as far as I know.
We were lucky that Barbra Streisand
recorded this gem of a song from a
planned broadway musical. I can imagine
the actress performing the role of
"Josephine Baker" singing this song.

"Havana Riviera

When opened in 1957, Meyer Lanskys Havana Riviera was the most extravagant and sophisticated high-rise resort hotel-casino in the Caribbean prior to the inauguration of the Habana Hilton the following year. Designed by Miami-based architect Igor Polevitzky, the Havana Riviera rivaled the lavish hotels being erected in Las Vegas and Miami Beach at that time. Its mid-century Modern styling, custom artwork, interior décor, and magnificent seaside setting made it the star of Steve Allens live television variety show broadcast from the Riviera in January, 1958. Remarkably, the Havana Riviera remains virtually unmolested in its original 1957 splendor. Due to benign neglect, the hotel is undoubtedly the best-preserved example of mid-century Las Vegas-influenced Miami Modern resort architecture in the world.".

"Steve Allens NBC show will be televised from the Havana Riviera Hotel on
January 19th, 1958. The transmission will be made possible by the so-called over-the-
horizon microwave system recently established between Cuba and Florida by

TV Talk — Then and now
Pete Sieler

Fifty years ago

The Steve Allen Show did a most unusual thing for TV viewers — a first. NBC beamed its first major live production over the horizon from Cuba to the U.S.
For the hour-long event, The Steve Allen Show checked out the place two months in advance, airlifted a cast and crew of 50 (plus 10 wives), shipped 16 tons of lights, and more than five miles of cable.
On the scene, the show enlisted three dozen technicians from Havanas TV station (CMQ) and laid siege to the gleaming new hotel (Havana Riviera Hotel) at that time.. The hotel eagerly put up $25,000 of the shows extra cost. It even yielded its bellhops as extras and shooed its guests away from the pool during rehearsals.
Guests on the show were Mamie Van Doren, Steve Lawrence, Lou Costello and Edgar Bergen. Bearded orchestra leader Skitch Henderson created a stir at the Havanas CMQ television station when he turned up in a sweater and denims resembling a Cuban revolutionarys getup. Guess what group that could be.
When it was air time, the chaos fell into order.
The show hung together and the pictures moved surely and crisply into the mainland. This was the first time a 90-mile hop was done with microwave over the ocean.
The show was a blast to watch. In a little less than 11 months, Castro would be in charge of Cuba and no network programming would originate live from Cuba for over 40 years.
It was an interesting show. At one point Mamie Van Doren slipped out of her evening gown behind a poolside screen and reappeared in a bathing suit.
An advertising agency man with a sharp eye objected that the strapless suit looked too much like underwear.
He stated, This stuff may be okay in Havana, but how about East Cupcake, Iowa.
As it turned out, the agency man was indeed from Iowa. Later the wardrobe department came up with a dozen more bathing suits to satisfy the crowd in East Cupcake, Iowa.
In the intervening years since then, I still remember the show, the hoopla, and of course seeing Mamie Van Doren. I was able to obtain a VHS copy of the kinescope of the program and still view it occasionally." (Peter Sieler)"
