Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventh volume in Knopf’s critically acclaimed Complete Lyrics series, published in Johnny Mercer’s centennial year, contains the texts to more than 1,200 of his lyrics, several hundred of them published here for the first time. Johnny Mercer’s early songs became staples of the big band era and were regularly featured in the musicals of early Hollywood. With his collaborators, who included Richard A. Whiting, Harry Warren, Hoagy Carmichael, Jerome Kern, and Harold Arlen, he wrote the lyrics to some of the most famous standards, among them, “Too Marvelous for Words,” “Jeepers Creepers,” “Skylark,” “I’m Old-Fashioned,” and “That Old Black Magic.” During a career of more than four decades, Mercer was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song an astonishing eighteen times, and won four: for his lyrics to “On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe” (music by Warren), “In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening” (music by Carmichael), and “Moon River” and “Days of Wine and Roses” (music for both by Henry Mancini). You’ve probably fallen in love with more than a few of Mercer’s songs–his words have never gone out of fashion–and with this superb collection, it’s easy to see that his lyrics elevated popular song into art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On November 4th, 2007, I visited with my best friend to celebrate my birthday. It was a typical warm afternoon in Florida. I was surprisingly complimented with a delectable meal accompanied by Miami staple drink, Mojitos. I sat in the backyard terrace oblivious to all cares of this world, amid good company and laughter when suddenly I felt a lurch in my stomach followed by a piercing sound and the most uncomfortable, fullness sensation in my ears. The nausea wave followed suit and in seconds my celebratory meal and drinks were inevitably expelled in a projectile vomiting episode. The deja-vu feeling was overwhelming. My relatives and friends' faces danced in a sort of a burlesque fashion around me. I was spinning violently yet my body rested motionless in my chair. The terrace did not stop gyrating and neither did the faces who danced in an uncontrollable kaleidoscope fashion. As I lay powerless and terrified I realized that I was Back in the Swirl... of Meniere!

Download or read book Earth of Existence written by Ederson Lambert and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earth of Existence: A Journey From Haiti to America by Ederson Lambert Earth of Existence is a poetic memoir of a child growing up with two overarching cultures of influence prodding author Ederson Lambert’s existence. He was born in Haiti, lived there shortly as a child until ten, and afterward immigrated to the United States, where life took a considerable change. It was fast and it was surreal. He found himself living in a poor urban neighborhood where many struggles and obstacles would present themselves as living barriers in his life. There were joyous occasions and there were terrible ones when he felt like life was not meant living. He believes that through his faith, his personal strength, and through the people who would come to be placed in his life helped and allowed him to find the inner talent in himself and eventually the avenue that would find him on a path to a successful life. He is not a rich man, not a famous person nor an influential individual making an incredible impact on the lives of people, but he believes that his words may help someone who isn’t worthy in the eyes of society to find some hope by reading these pages. Maybe his poetry will relate. Maybe his essays or the short stories of when he was down and out will help them to see that their situation is not as bad as they imagine. He may not be some prolific writer with big words to bedazzle English majors, but he knows that his words will impact someone somewhere on this Earth enough to give them hope that they too can have a voice someday.

For 23 years, from 1948 to 1971, he hosted America's premiere variety show every Sunday night on CBS, on which he introduced an eclectic array of talent that included everything from opera singers to dancing bears to Elvis Presley and the Beatles. This book is an inside view of The Ed Sullivan Show and the unusual story of one of the most unlikely television stars who played host to such diverse talents as Van Cliburn, Rudolf Nureyev, Robert Goulet, Richard Pryor, and The Rolling Stones. With his distinctive nasal voice, Sullivan regularly promised audiences a really big shew and delivered by offering up virtually every form of twentieth-century entertainment. Bernie Ilson, the Sullivan show's P.R. man for eight years, takes us on a trip down memory lane to revisit one of the most popular shows in television history.
