The Beatles Songs: "Golden Slumbers"
One of Paul's most beautiful ballads, "Golden Slumbers" actually took its musical inspiration from another song he'd only recently recorded -- and its lyrical inspiration from over three hundred years before. But he couldn't make it a reality until he got two of the words just right.Read all about the history and recording of "Golden Slumbers" in my latest Beatles fact sheet.Lana Del Rey Revives Phil Spector Controversy
Modern pop chanteuse Lana Del Rey has a new single out called "Beautiful Player," and it's raising some eyebrows for what is very likely a reference to pop production legend (and convicted murderer) Phil Spector: in the middle of singing about a male lover who can't keep his hands off of other women, she coos "Hit me and it felt like a kiss / You know it hurt so good / When you do me like this." The first half of that line quotes The Crystals' infamous girl-group hit from 1962, "He Hit Me (It Felt Like a Kiss)," written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King...Rock and Roll Road Trips: Lyrical Landmarks

...
Two of doo-wop's premier original voices passed away recently: This past Saturday, Marcels lead singer Cornelius "Nini" Harp, the angelic lead heard on their 1961 classic "Blue Moon," died of natural causes at his home in Pittsburgh. One of the last great original doo-wop groups, the Marcels, named after Harp's popular "Marcel wave" hairstyle, were formed in Pittsburgh while its members were still in high school; one of several racially integrated vocal groups of the day, they distinguished themselves with near-novelty covers of pop standards (a similar reworking of another '30s standard, "Heartaches," was their other big pop hit). Harp, who also played guitar for the group, left after their big hits ended. No official age has been given, but Harp was approximately 72 or 73 at his death.
