Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, Eddie Holland, Jr. and Norman Whitfield were a huge part of Motown’s success, but Gordy’s stable of song writer’s almost rivaled the Brill Building writer’s in their heyday. The songs of “Smokey” Robinson, Warren Moore, Marvin Tarplin, Stevie Wonder, Lee Garrett, Lula Mae Hardaway, Syreeta Wright, Marvin Gaye, Mickey Stevenson, Nickolas Ashford & Valerie Simpson, Spooner Oldham & Dan Penn, Lionel Richie, Billy Preston, Edwin Starr, Jim Weatherly, James Dean, Paul Riser, William Weatherspoon, Harvey Fuqua, Johnny Bristol, Vernon Bullock, Barrett Strong, Ronald, Rudolph & O’Kelly Isley (not to mention Berry Gordy, Jr. himself) made an impact on modern music that is hard to estimate. Gordy almost single-handedly changed the world, influencing not just the coming British Invasion, but tearing down the stigma of “Race Music” forever.

Finding videos of Schubert songs with German lyrics and English translations is difficult. If I could find a complete set, I'd do all 24 songs of his "Winter Journey" song cycle, which is one of the most beautiful -- and depressing -- things he ever wrote. I can only listen to it once a year, on the first day of winter. It's
that depressing.
I'll have to see what else I can come up with.

Leroy Anderson, who died in 1976, was a composer who spent most of his years writing short pieces for the Boston Pops. Most people who hear his music don't know the title or the composer, but they know the tune.
Anderson was also a wonderfully funny lecturer. I heard a recording of a lecture of his, taped at the Yale Music School in 1973, and he had me falling off the chair.
This is one of his best known tunes. (Maybe I ought to do an Anderson weekend some time.)

Must retire an early call awaits me in the morning! No weekends at Castle MacNessa!
The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.
Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes!

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!
Godspeed our Troops around the Globe especially those in harms way by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Arthur Fiedler was conducting the Pops back in the Thirties when that piece was written. Anderson also wrote "The Syncopated Clock", "The Typewriter", "Belle of the Ball", "Blue Tango", "Serenata", "The Lost Patrol", and a whole lot of other miniatures for Fiedler and the Pops.
An Anderson weekend is sounding like a good idea.
