Mazzy Star Fade Into You
 


I loved this gentle, beautiful song...so I looked up the composer, Ludovico Einaudi, who was also the pianist. Thank you so much for introducing me to him. The comments written on YouTube all reflected my own feelings about the piece ("I Giorni" which means "The Days" in Italian). No one disliked it and most people found it heavenly. I was interested to read that the composer's grandfather, Luigi Einaudi, was the first President of the Republic of Italy and an anti-fascist.
 
Harvey Phillip "Phil" Spector, renowned for his 1960's "Wall of Sound" recordings, has died at 81 of natural causes in a California prison. The famous music producer used overdubbing that merged spirited vocal harmonies with lavish orchestral arrangements to produce pop monuments. I'll always love Phil for producing and bringing black girl vocal groups to mainstream American music. With a studio in Philadelphia, Spector recorded girl groups from Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Philly. He eventually moved to LA and utilized the Wrecking Crew (a/k/a The Phil Spector Wall of Sound Orchestra) at Gold Star Studios and United Western Recorders. Although a musical genius, Spector also had a dark side as former wife Ronnie Spector and vocalist Darlene Love would reveal. Spector was convicted of murdering actress Lana Clarkson in 2003 at his mansion on the edge of Los Angeles and sentenced to 19-years-to-life. RIP Phil.
