Her beauty and pizzazz personality made her a popular star for decades, however, not everyone is aware that Phyllis is also a world class fashionista who has collected an extraordinary high fashion wardrobe. "Sugartime" and "Sincerely" are just two of the big time hit songs recorded by the pretty-as-a-picture sisters who hailed from Ohio and went on to major high profile stardom. From their initial appearance in 1952 on ¿Arthur Godfrey¿s Talent Scouts¿ to their official (almost) retirement in 1968, Phyllis, Christine and Dorothy sang their way into show business history, making hit record after hit record, starring on television and singing before several presidents, too. Today Phyllis McGuire is the unofficial First Lady of Las Vegas, a leading socialite in her adopted hometown. Her extraordinary clothing collection rivals major costume museums with fashions from stage performances and her private wardrobe by many major designers such as Chanel, Halston, Galanos and Valentino. 22 of her outfits from the 1950s-80s are included in this special three-doll paper doll book.

Download or read book My Melancholy Baby written by Michael G. Garber and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2021-06-28 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2022 Association for Recorded Sound Collections Awards for Excellence—Certificate of Merit in the category of Best Historical Research in Recorded Rock and Popular Music Ten songs, from “Bill Bailey, Won’t You Please Come Home” (1902) to “You Made Me Love You” (1913), ignited the development of the classic pop ballad. In this exploration of how the style of the Great American Songbook evolved, Michael G. Garber unveils the complicated, often-hidden origins of these enduring, pioneering works. He riffs on colorful stories that amplify the rising of an American folk art composed by innovators both famous and obscure. Songwriters, and also the publishers, arrangers, and performers, achieved together a collective genius that moved hearts worldwide to song. These classic ballads originated all over the nation—Louisiana, Colorado, Illinois, Michigan—and then the Tin Pan Alley industry, centered in New York, made the tunes unforgettable sensations. From ragtime to bop, cabaret to radio, new styles of music and modes for its dissemination invented and reinvented the intimate, personal American love ballad, creating something both swinging and tender. Rendered by Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and a host of others, recordings and movies carried these songs across the globe. Using previously underexamined sources, Garber demonstrates how these songs shaped the music industry and the lives of ordinary Americans. Besides covering famous composers like Irving Berlin, this history also introduces such little-known figures as Maybelle Watson, who had to sue to get credit and royalties for creating the central content of the lyric for “My Melancholy Baby.” African American Frank Williams contributed to the seminal “Some of These Days” but was forgotten for decades. The ten ballads explored here permanently transformed American popular song.

Download or read book Black Women in Sequence written by Deborah Elizabeth Whaley and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Women in Sequence takes readers on a search for women of African descent in comics subculture. From the 1971 appearance of the Skywald Publications character “the Butterfly” - the first Black female superheroine in a comic book - to contemporary comic books, graphic novels, film, manga, and video gaming, a growing number of Black women are becoming producers, viewers, and subjects of sequential art. As the first detailed investigation of Black women’s participation in comic art, Black Women in Sequence examines the representation, production, and transnational circulation of women of African descent in the sequential art world. In this groundbreaking study, which includes interviews with artists and writers, Deborah Whaley suggests that the treatment of the Black female subject in sequential art says much about the place of people of African descent in national ideology in the United States and abroad.
