Zeitgeist literally means "spirit of the times" which infers that humanity has a spiritual dimension that is not just left out, but actively rejected by both the devout materialists who made this film and those whom they criticique. The ignorance of this spiritual dimension is the true poverty of...

What a gem of a lyric and of course a great arrangement with the beautiful voices of Anita Kerr and her ensemble. Thanks for posting this kuplungmaster--is there any possibiity you might be able to post the Anita Kerr Singers version of "The Beat Goes On?". I have been looking everywhere for it...

This is a nice change of pace from the typical bouncy kid song beat style of so many of the covers of this song. I wonder what Emilie claire Barlow could do with "Elmo's Song"?

"Home is where the needle marks tried to heal my brokewn heart"--a more moving and trenchant critique of the futility and mule-headed stupidity of the "war on drugs" was never made.

So where are the lyrics?!!

Your pictures formed such a beautiful frame for Segovia's playing. Thank you for doing such a good job on the video portion.

The setting with the reflecting pool and all those Moorish arches was such a masterful stroke--I have no doubt that Segovia could have played as good a performance in an acoustically sealed studio but the visual impact of the setting just added to the impact of Meastro Segovia's playing.

For any who wonder about the power of music to transform the heart and soul of a person watch this old man be transformed by the music and hear the music transform this elderly gentleman into a fountain of life.

Not even the visual and mental vulgarity of Fox's crassness can dim the light of Ana's playing.

I enjoyed the symphonic feel of the three movements of the Terpsichore. Nicely done! I hope you dabble some more with the sound palate possible from such blending of the guitar's versitility.

Rosoegino--you da' man! Thanks for a great rendition of a great american song!

I have about 4 different versions of this number (including two extended remixes) and I always knew there was something missing but couldn't remember exactly what it was. Then I listened to the piano introduction and knew what it was--the original is still the best even when the other versions a...

I like this version better than their surrealistic video--great job on the video content because I never could get all the words on the radio segment towards the end of the song.

Long before the Original Amateur Hour, The Gong Show, Kiss, Matalica, Gay Pride, or even the schlock artist Cristo, men got all dolled up in drag and every other wierd costume imaginable. Others formed string bands which play the most tacky and forgettable music ever heard. This is New Years Da...

Bravo, bravo, bravo! Ever since '66 I have head that Sergio originally had a group called Brasil 65 and I have always wanted to hear some of that sound--so now I have--thanks also fpor showing the album covers of the group. .

Pink is of course the incomparable Lani Hall, orange is the original "other girl singer" Janis Hansen. On several other cuts from a '69 TV appearance you will notice the "other girl singer" is a blond whose name is Karen Phillipp.

The saying "There is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come" is well illustrated by this movie. The film, made in the depths of the Great Depression, when able bodied men and women were going hungry and homeless was a vote of no confidence in the management of industry, agricultu...

@CommieBastard93 Dude--On what alien planet have you been living? This is North Korea, a 4th world country/religious cult where Kim Jung Il is God and everything else is subversive. That the NY Phil got to play there at all is amazing--just because there is little or no affect on the faces of t...

The insults about the North Korean audience's lack of affect to the performance of Gershwin by the New York Philharmonic shows both the ignorance and the stupidity of the commentators more than the North Koreans. The power of music to touch the soul and move the heart is never wasted on any hum...

Anita was definitely "one of the guys" in an age when ladies were supposed to stay on their pedestal Anita would have none of it. She and Krupa were definitely "outlaws " in the entertainment world of their day and as a result broke ground that the likes of Dorsey, Miller, and even Artie Shaw wo...

Doesn't Jo Stafford's voice just sound beautiful in the Pied Pipers accompaniment? She was just such a special talent.

bol2funk--Thanks for posting this. Having already seen this performance previously, I remember GSH explaining the lyrics in the introduction to the song. I wish you could repost this with his explanations of the lyrics and his commentary about "illegal aliens--as oppossed to legal aliens who ca...

Even stoned silly on his ass, the flame of GSH's creative genius shines through. I hope he can get the monkey off his back and keep on producing. He is the connecting link between the likes of Langston Hughes and James Baldwin and the hip-hop nation's rappers need his memory and genius to insp...

Having heard the angry (Black History, The Revoution Will Not Be Televised, We Beg Your Pardon, Home is Where the Hatred Is), the melancholy (Winter in America, The Bottle) and the sarcastic (B Movie, Whitey On the Moon), I am very greatful to finally hear the tender and sensitive side of this co...

Having listened to Lonnie Givin's version and now Walter Thomas I like Walter's version better. He just has a little more gritty funk than Lonnie. What a great lyric and dancing beat this song has. Please post more of the "beach rock" sound.

This is "beach rock" at its very best. Nice boogie dancing beat and happy. More of the same please!

Wow--I thought I was the only one who remembered ths group! I once had an album with a solid back to back 15 minute audio-resume of the many jingles they recorded. Included were: Northwest Orient (gong!) Airlines and Alka Seltzer (with Jamie doing the voice of the cartoon character speedy). Th...

A metaphor for what humanity is capable of achieving with the proper leadership properly inspired--which explains so much that has been and is currently wrong with humanity. Instead of a beautiful symphony we exist as a discordant jangle that gets on everybody's nerves, degenerates into more noi...

Watch this song twice. The first time enjoy the lyric and Joni's guitar. the second time watch as she dances with the song and guitar--what an original and beautiful spark of genius she is!

Crummy, tinny, sound but worth it to hear the swinging Mel at his improvisational and harmonic best! Thanks for posting this gem.

Can'tyou just see this guy straining at how to tell his love all the reasons he misses her and how he slips in the part about buring a hole in the dining room table! Mercer's meandering lyric was just made for Mel Torme's harmonic improvisations and singing oh so slightly off beat on occasion. ...

I love that he sings the lyric and not just the refrain of the song. What a great and original talent he was and how fortunate that Mitch Miller (then in charge of A&R at Columbia) didn't stick him with the kind of novelty crap he did with most of their other great singing talent (like Frank Si...

All brought to you by all...

VictorHagerman Thanks so much for "pushing the copyright envelope" and posting this. If you have it, could you also post Joni's singing of "Marcie" from the same performance? This was a NY club date in '69 if memory serves me correctly. Thanks again

Thanks for posting this club date version of the song. If you know, where and when was this recorded? It sounds circa 68 or 69 when she was heavy into doing club dates all up and down the east coast of the US. LIstening to Joni is like listening to Beethoven no matter how many timesteh same mu...

What an amazing and transformative presentation--it is one thing to understand the length depth, and breadth of such a tragedy--but to communicate so completely how such an experince feels is nothing short of amazing. Brave and thanks to Jill Bolte-Taylor for showing that scientists can also be ...

aioriaandrei--Thanks so much for posting this version of one of the great entries in the great American song book. As with many other great Natalie Cole hits, this one was also done by her dad Nat King Cole in a beautiful and lush version with, I believe, a Gordon Jenkins arrangement backing him.

Wow--a great grrove nearly twice as long as the original--nice going and thanks for posting it. Is this a special release from Elliot or did you do the sampling and extend it on your own?--just curious.
