Sammy Davis Jr : I've Gotta Be Me "I've Gotta Be Me" was a surprise #11 hit for Sammy Davis Jr in early 1969, while it still featured in a not excessively triumphant Broadway musical titled Golden Rainbow , starring Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gormé. The musical ran on Broadway from late December 1967 to February 1969. In between, Lawrence released a single of "I've Got To Be Me", followed shortly after by Sammy Davis Jr, who tweaked the title for his more successful record. Davis performed "I've [...]

"What, the show for kids?" my colleague, the one with an extravagant collection of adidas tracksuit jackets, replied when I asked if she watched Glee . It's a regular prejudice to confuse Glee with High School Musical , and therefore to presume that the interpretations of the songs covered on Glee must be intrinsically inferior to their originals. The former presumption can be ascribed to benign ignorance; the latter claim can be made only by people who hate music. Fact is, in many cases the Glee versions are equal to their originals, [...]

What can we say? CoS and Cluster 1 just love the Swedes. Earlier this month we premiered the video for I'm From Barcelona's song "Get In Line" . Now we've got the first look at the newest single from the MOVITS!, "Sammy Davis Jr.". The track, which is featured on the March 23rd release Ut Ur Min Skalle (translated from Swedish, Out of My Skull ), is, well, damn cool. Though dealing with rapped Swedish lyrics interspersed with English and subtitled in Japanese can be admittedly frustrating, this is less about understanding [...]
Filed under: Spinner Interview Bettmann, Corbis It's been around 50 years since the Rat Pack, perhaps the world's first supergroup, hit the Las Vegas strip, and they've defined cool ever since. Frank Sinatra , Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. personified an era where music was smooth, cocktails were neat and the way you wore your hat meant everything. The new collection 'The Very Best of the Rat Pack' captures [...]
Those that know me, should know that I have a great love of jazz; especially percussion driven works from the 1940's through to the late-60's. Its driving precision often held a sort of manic fluidity in check; like sheer madness surrounding a column of calm. As one of my favourite musicians of all time, Chico Hamilton was that calm. Hamilton was born in Los Angeles of 1921 and although his
A recent news article about cigarette smokers finding a cheaper way to feed their habit caught my attention, reminding me again how lucky I am to have stopped smoking over thirty years ago. I don't mean to sound smug about it because I have plenty of other bad habits, and since I was never a heavy smoker that might have helped, but I was somehow able to quit. Anyhow, it seems that a few retail shops are now installing a new automatic cigarette-making machine, one that allows customers to participate in the process (by pushing the [...]
