08.05.2022 On this date in 1958, ALL I HAVE TO DO IS DREAM by THE EVERLY BROTHERS went to No. 1 on the US Billboard Chart (May 6th 1958) NOTE: The video here is from a Swe...dish TV show broadcast in 1959, when Cadence producer Archie Bleyer brought his top three acts to Europe on a promotional tour. The show saw a line-up of Andy Williams, the Everly Brothers and the Chordettes. I've upscaled and colourised the clip from the original black and white film. Written by Boudleaux Bryant of the husband and wife songwriting team Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, and published in 1958, ALL I HAVE TO DO IS DREAM was made famous by the Everly Brothers. Felice and Boudleaux Bryant penned many huge hits for the Everly Brothers and other artists, including "Bye, Bye Love," "Wake Up Little Susie," "Bird Dog," "Devoted to You," "Hey Joe," "Love Hurts," "Raining In My Heart," and "Rocky Top." "I remember hearing 'All I Have To Do Is Dream' on an acetate with Boudleaux's version on it," recalled Phil Everly , "and I said, at the time, they could have put Boudleaux's out and it would have been a hit." "It's just a great, great song. It's beautiful. Boudleaux was the main man who wrote all the great songs for us, and we love him." Chet Atkins played tremolo-style guitar chords on the song, providing an interesting musical backing to the Everly Brothers' unique vocal harmonies. According to Billboard magazine, the song took just 15 minutes to write. Boudleaux was literally the man of Felice's dreams. When she first met him, Boudleaux was playing a gig with his jazz band at the Sherwood Hotel in Milwaukee, where Felice was working as an elevator operator. But she saw him years earlier - in a dream when she was 8 years old. She told Country Music People in 1981: "When I was eight years old, I dreamt of this man. He and I were dancing to 'our song,' and I remembered this man's face. So when I saw Boudleaux I recognized him! I don't know if you can call it love at first sight or 'My god, you friend, I was wondering when you'd come along.' But I just clung on to him. He didn't know who the hell I was, but somehow I knew who he was." The song topped the UK's New Musical Express chart in June 1958, remaining there for seven weeks, and is ranked No. 141 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

14.04.2022 Years May Come Years May Go by Herman's Hermits aL Let's take a look behind and see what we can find.... Last year has gone for everyone, passed with time. What happened to us then can't happen once again. And what's it now to me? History. Years may come (years may come), years may go (quickly go). Some go fast (very fast), some go slow (oh so slow). Some are good (very good), some are bad (very sad). For each one (for what comes) just be glad (let? S be glad).

25.02.2022 The battle of Beersheba took place on 31 October 1917 as part of the wider British offensive collectively known as the third Battle of Gaza. The final phase of ...this all day battle was the famous mounted charge of the 4th Light Horse Brigade. Commencing at dusk, members of the brigade stormed through the Turkish defences and seized the strategic town of Beersheba. The capture of Beersheba enabled British Empire forces to break the Ottoman line near Gaza on 7 November and advance into Palestine. See more
