Rosanne Cash schreef dit nummer met haar man John Leventhal voor "Discover America" Tourism Campaign. Het werd een aardig succes in de VS. Uitgebracht op Capitol?
Helene Fischer is heel groot in de Duitstalige landen en bracht in oktober 2014 het album "Farbenspiel" uit. Van dit album werd "Atemlos durch die nacht" als single uitgebracht. Het nummer werd geschreven door Kristina Bach, zo staat bij de info.
Het nummer is in Duitsland een gigantische hit. Het wordt bij optredens van Helene Fischer zelfs zo luid meegezongen, dat dit voorjaar een politicus voor een verbod pleitte. (Stutgarter Fruhjahrsfest).
Uiteraard was ie kansloos.
"Atemlos..." is echter een beetje en een beetje veel gepikt. Een beetje van Jürgen Marcus oooooh oooh (Ein festival der Liebe). Ook lijkt er te zijn geleend bij "Summertime Sadness" van Lana del Rey.
En het meeste natuurlijk bij Land of Dreams.
Op het net vond ik dan nog dat er ook elementen van O-Zone (Dragosta) en Donna Summer (Hot Stuff) in zitten. Die Kristina Bach lijkt wel een "Girl Rock" :-)

The STORY of BEALE St. BLUES
Beginning around 1909,
William Christopher Handy lived in Memphis, TN for about a decade. By
then he had traveled widely and was a pretty well established musician
and bandleader. There he quickly became a popular celebrity and
flourished, launching a company for publishing his own music, due partly
to the huge success of his “Memphis Blues,” which was originally
conceived as a ditty for the mayoral campaign of the infamous political
boss, E.H. Crump.
Among his favorite venues was the wildest
and rowdiest section of the Beale Street district. The original ‘Beale
Avenue’ district of Memphis arose after the Civil War as a respectable,
predominantly black neighborhood of churches, homes and a grand opera
house. But by the early 1900s, as Memphis became an important
crossroads, it sprouted the notorious “Beale Street” section.
By
1910, around the time Handy arrived, it was a rough, sleazy, lawless
collection of taverns, splendid dance halls and entertainments, brothels
and dives filled with hustlers, pickpockets, lowlifes, pimps &
prostitutes -- along with workingmen spending their pay, and rubes out
for thrills.
And it was that Beale Street scene that seems to
have oddly fascinated Mr. Handy. When not working there, he loved to
hang out, jam with other musicians or just watch the action. In his
autobiography he recounts hair-raising, appalling tales brutality,
cruelty, criminality and mayhem that he fittingly memorialized in his
classic “Beale St. Blues”:
You'll see pretty browns in beautiful gowns, You'll see tailor-mades and hand-me-downs, You'll meet honest men, and pick-pockets skilled, You'll find that business never ceases 'til somebody gets killed!
If Beale Street could talk, if Beale Street could talk, Married men would have to take their beds and walk, Except one or two who never drink booze, And the blind man on the corner singing "Beale Street Blues!"
I'd rather be there than any place I know, I'd rather be there than any place I know, It's gonna take a sergeant for to make me go!

O: William F. Hooley on Victor Recitation
O: Florence Hayward Harry Macdonough on Berliner
Dit is een moeilijke. Psalmen en andere kerkelijke zaken zijn mij vreemd, dus het is een beetje vreemdland voor mij. In wikipedia staan zaken over "Psalm 23" geschreven, maar bij het rijtje songs dat er wordt genoemd, heb ik zo mijn vraagtekens. De songs met de intentie van "Psalm 23" noemt men ook allemaal en schrijft men toe aan "Psalm 23". Dat is een beetje moeilijk voor "The Originals"
Ik heb daarom de songs genomen waarin een redelijk deel van de tekst van "Psalm 23" voorkomen.
De melodieën zijn soms verschillend, maar dat is gezien het onderstaande ook niet vreemd.
Ook de tekst is in de loop der jaren natuurlijk veranderd.
Helaas heb ik de oudste opname niet kunnen vinden.
In de onderstaande lijst staat met een afwijkende titel (en natuurlijk afwijkende melodie) Patti Smith, maar zij gebruikt 2 coupletten uit "Psalm 23".
Aan klassieke uitvoeringen heb ik me nog maar niet gewaagd.
Alternate tunes:
* Belmont, William Gardiner, 1812 )
* Evan, William H. Havergal, 1847; arranged by Lowell Mason, 1850
* Martyrdom, Hugh Wilson, 1800; arranged by Ralph E. Hudson, circa 1885
* Orlington, John Campbell (1807-1860) (repeats third line of each verse)
* Wiltshire, George T. Smart, 1795
The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want.
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green; He leadeth me
The quiet waters by.
My soul He doth restore again;
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
Even for His own Name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale,
Yet will I fear no ill;
For Thou art with me; and Thy rod
And staff my comfort still.
My table Thou hast furnishèd
In presence of my foes;
My head Thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows.
Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me;
And in God’s house forevermore
My dwelling place shall be.

Traditional O: Will Lyle 1889 on Edison C: Wendel Hall 1923 on Edison
I found this about the Will Lyle recording. I don't have the book so this print from Google:
America's Best Loved Country Songs: An Encyclopedia of ... books.google.nl/books?isbn=0786449942 - Vertaal deze pagina Dorothy Horstman, Fritzi Horstman - 2010 - Music An Encyclopedia of More Than 3,000 Classics Through the 1980s Dorothy ... Recording Found: Will Lyle (Edison) 1889 (as “Ain't Going to Rain No More”).
From Wikipedia: "It Ain't Gonna Rain No Mo'" is the title of a song that is entirely the creation of the "Red-Headed Music Maker", guitarist and vocalist Wendell Woods Hall (1896–1969).. Hall's 1923 recording of the song was popular in Britain and sold in excess of two million copies.[1] Additionally, it scored 20 weeks on the U.S. charts, six at number one.[2]
Many antecedents exist from the 19th century. By the 1920s many variants were already extant in popular culture. Carl Sandburg suggests that the song goes back at least to the 1870s and includes verses in his "American Songbag (published 1927). This song is an excellent example of the folk tradition of transmission with local variants. Mr. Hall most likely codified what already existed and added original verses.
Apparently this was written without the knowledge of the Will Lyle recording. We are most familiar with the Victor recording, but Wendell Halle recorded it also on 4 oktober 1923 for Edison as part of a recording of "I'm a Red Headed Music Maker". This recording sounds a little bit like a part of the Wendell Hall Show. Everything is in the dl file.

Written by: Albert Von Tilzer / Edward Laska O: Billy Murray on Columbia (op 24-01-1919)
Three days later he recorded it for Victor. In the 1920's severeal artists recorded the song. In the 1930's the tune of te song was used for the song "Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues". In 1939 "Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues"was collected by William Wolff at the School for Southern Women Workers. Wolff didn't know the songwriter. In 1948 Leadbelly recorded, as is written on "Leabelly's Last Sessions", "Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues". But that is a mistake on the Smithsonian Record label because Leadbelly played "The Alcoholic Blues".
In 1946/1947 (others say 1948) Pete Seeger recorded already "Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues". On the record of Pete Seeger however "Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues"is credited to Leadbelly/Traditional/Jim Garland. (see AMG and Discogs) So they didn't know that the tune was from 1919 en that there was a song named "The Alcoholic Blues".
It is possible that Jim Garland wrote the words for "Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues" Because Seeger recorded the song as B-side of "The Death of Harry Simms"on Charter records From Wikipedia Jim Garland (April 8, 1905 – September 6, 1978) was a songwriter from the coal mining country of eastern Kentucky, where he was involved with the communist-led National Miners Union (NMU) during the violent labor conflicts of the early 1930s called the Harlan County War.
Garland came to New York City in 1931 with his older half-sister Aunt Molly Jackson and later followed by sister Sarah Ogan where he participated in the Greenwich Village folk music scene. Two of his best-known songs are "The Death of Harry Simms" and "I Don't Want Your Millions, Mister."
During World War II he moved, together with Sarah's family, to Vancouver, Washington, to work in the shipyard. In 1944 he founded a broom factory which he ran for many years. Garland sang at the Newport Folk Festival in 1963 and his sister Sarah Ogan Gunning sang there in 1964.
