Billy Murray - College Life (1906)
zhlédnutí 1,6KPřed 2 lety
This version of College Life by Billy Murray hasn't yet been uploaded to CZcams. Written by Hery Frantzen in 1905, this 1906 cylinder recording by Billy Murray is the most popular version of the song. Chronicling the antics of college students in the early 20th century, it amazes me how many of these behaviors can still be observed in modern college students, like staying up all night, playing ...

    As one who practically strictly listens to this era, I’m glad to see such a fine presentation of his contributions to early recording. Murray certainly was a game changer defining some of the earliest aspects of how recording was done. I didn’t know he sold over 300 million records, but those 6-10,000 recordings are nearly on par with his counterparts from the 1890s which is something to behold, because in a single decade you’ll find that people like George J. Gaskin and George Washington Johnson recorded nearly 20,000 individual recordings due to the very limited processes of recording in that age.

    My great grandfather listened to music in the 30s and his dad sung the songs from the 1910s. But not the normal songs. He sung songs in the trenches where he probably listened to a lot of war songs. I fell so bad for hint because in a book he described the war as bloody and brutal and terrible. He fought on the British side and he got the Victoria cross.

    Dusty is my all-time favorite pop music singer so, for me, every recording of hers is a #1. That said, there are of course objective ways of measuring hits. Using Billboard's 200 chart (UK), the video here includes only four of what were actually Dusty's biggest hits: You Don't Have To Say You Love Me, I Only Want To Be With You, All I See Is You and Son Of A Preacher Man. Excluded are What Have I Done To Deserve This, I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself, I Close My Eyes And Count To Ten, In The Middle Of Nowhere, Some Of Your Lovin', and Losing You. Of the six that were included that were not the highest-charting, Wishin' And Hopin' was not released in the UK, but did chart at #6 in the US. Stay Awhile and I'll Try Anything peaked at #13 on the UK charts. All Cried Out was not released in the UK and peaked at #41 on US charts. The Look Of Love was not released in the UK and peaked at #22 on US charts. And The Windmills Of Your Mind was not released in the UK and peaked at #31 on US charts. So, technically, Dusty's Top Ten are the ten listed below. The numbers in parentheses indicate the peak chart position in the UK for each single. 1. You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me (1) 2. What Have I Done To Deserve This (with The Pet Shop Boys) (2)* 3. I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself (3) 4. I Close My Eyes And Count To Ten (4) 5. I Only Want To Be With You (4) 6. In The Middle Of Nowhere (8) 7. Some Of Your Lovin’ (8) 8. Losing You (9) 9. All I See Is You (9) 10. Son Of A Preacher Man (9) *If you don't include What Have I Done To Deserve This (based on it technically being a Pet Shop Boys single), then the tenth for Dusty is: Goin’ Back (10) In the US, her singles that made Top Ten on Billboard 200 are: What Have I Done To Deserve This (2) You Don’t Have To Say You Love me (4) Wishin’ and Hopin’ (6) Son Of A Preacher Man (10)

    The true roots and origins of Rock ‘N Roll is from Boogie Woogie and Stride piano,the Fathers and Mothers are James P. Johnson,Willie Lion Smith,Fats Waller,Luckey Roberts,Rosetter Tharpe,Mary Lou Williams,and Louis Jordan,Bar-Non there maybe others but these are the top,Boogie Stride piano,jump blues,and gospel music is what truly gives rise and the birth of Rock ‘N Roll,and it all starts in the 1920’s and pasted on from one generation to the next,from prohibition,then the depression,then WW2,the only dance that was popular in the 20’s was the Jitterbug and theCharleston,the 30’s was Big Band Ballroom Jazz dancing,the 40’s everything changed,the 50’s is the highlight the time of teenage rebellion Hot Rod racing and the rest is history.
