When I was a kid I'd sometimes get a little puzzled while watching a movie that was supposed to be about someone famous, because often I'd never heard of them. Of course, I was spectacularly clueless in those days (still am, for that matter) but the reason for the confusion was usually just a generational thing. A good example would be a Doris Day film titled Love Me Or Leave Me , the story of prohibition-era musical star Ruth Etting, who was probably very well-remembered by the adult members of the movie audience - if not for her music, [...]

In the overdue return of The Originals, we'll visit three songs that became iconic in their interpretations from the 1960s, but had been standards since the early 1930s and, in one instance, 1940s. Blue Moon and At Last debuted in movies, while Dream A Little Dream Of Me, the oldest of the three songs, would end up lending its title to a 1989 flick (and an episode of Grey's Anatomy ). Speaking of At Last, I hear that Etta James is in very poor health. Don't forget the index of The Originals to revisit older instalments in [...]

Filed under: News , Exclusive It's safe to say that jazzy singer-songwriter Nellie McKay has strong opinions and isn't afraid to voice them. On her September-released album, 'Home Sweet Mobile Home,' one lyric rings out: "The New York Times is making up the news." But, as McKay tells Spinner, the line wasn't meant as a complete slam against the newspaper. "Whenever you mention a person or institution, it's always it's a good thing for them," she says. "It [...]
Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive A singular M.O., one that reads something like her way or the highway, has thus far decided the work and career of Nellie McKay . But McKay's quirky attitude and the premise of hitting the open-road -- both literally and metaphorically -- meet up on the New York-based singer-songwriter's fifth album, 'Home Sweet Mobile Home.' "I like the idea of a home being mobile, one that can move," McKay [...]

Doris Day, who is in her late eighties and at last report doing just fine, has always been known as a classy lady. She would never actually designate someone as her favorite singing co-star, because she'd figure that saying something like that might disrespect those not chosen. But one thing is certain - for a while in the early Fifties she certainly had something special going on with Gordon MacRae. By 1950 MacRae had already spent some time on Broadway and filled a few parts in films, but appearing with Doris in two movies that year - [...]
