Presley & Cash: The Road Show Released 2001
|
|
|
Sun Records, the brainchild of Sam Phillips, began life at 706 Union Avenue, Memphis in 1949. Sam Phillips' motto was "We Record Anything - Anywhere - Anytime" and in 1954 he signed the first of what was to become known as the Million Dollar Quartet: Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins.
In 1954 Elvis actually paid Sun Records for the privilege of making his first recording and Johnny Cash finally plucked up the courage to audition for Sam Phillips' and Sam was singularly unimpressed - by either of them. Luckily, they persevered and he changed his mind and thus began the rise of two of the greatest stars of the music world.
This amazing DVD captures over 30 of the early performances of Presley and Cash as they were taking their first steps on the ladder to stardom and international fame and on the accompanying audio CD they are joined by their Million Dollar Quartet cohorts, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins in a truly memorable collection of recordings.

Dean Martin: Legends In Concert
|
|
|
Dean Martin, the undisputed king of 'schmooz' is presented here performing a fabulous collection of all time favourites whilst entertaining his millions of devoted fans in his hit television show, a show that was to top viewing charts for nine years.
To his many devotees his style is unmistakable, his voice memorable, but in reality Dino didn't so much seek fame as fame just latched on to him. Although his stage personal was one of the cool and consummate performer, in truth he could never quite understand what all the fuss was about and took his fame with complete indifference.
But the gift that was so underrated by him is recorded here for the rest of us to enjoy including arguably his biggest hit 'That's Amore' and many more spellbinding sings that are remembered long after his passing on Christmas Day 1995.

Benny Goodman - The Last Performance legends In Concert
|
|
|
This sensational DVD sees Benny Goodman and his band performing some of the all time favourites in what was to prove his final concert at the Tivoli Gardens in Sweden.
Although from a poverty stricken family, Benny Goodman had music in his life from an early age and by 1921, when only 12 years old he appeared on stage imitating bandleader and clarinettist Ted Lewis, catching the eye of Ben Pollack in the process, who invited him to join his band. From that chance meeting the scene was set for the beginning of a career that helped to change the course of modern day music.
When the home of music de-camped to New York Goodman followed and turned freelance, playing with such luminaries as Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey. But in 1934 he formed his own band featuring Bunny Berigan on trumpet, Jess Stacey on piano and Gene Krupa on drums; add to that lineup the talents of arranger Fletcher Henderson and the birth of 'swing' had arrived.
A fabulous reminder of the 'swing' revolution.
Performance listing:
1. Lady Be Good
2. Poor Butterfly

Perry Como: Legends In Concert
|
|
|
Born the seventh son of a seventh son in 1912 Pennsylvania, Pierino Roland Como was considered to have a lucky star shining above him, a belief that time would prove correct. His career path was set from an early age although not in the direction he was later to find. For him the brightest light on the High Street was a barbers shop window. But his affair with hair was cut short and in his late teens his talent for singing surfaced when he was offered a spot in the Freddie Carlone Orchestra, touring the Midwest states. His ultimate goal now realised Perry went on to sell over 100 million records worldwide over six decades, with hits such as 'Hey Good Looking' and 'Papa Loves Mambo' both performed here in front of the cameras and presented on this fabulous DVD compilation. Also featured is a rare opportunity to see the great Bob Hope singing a duet with Perry... played for laughs rather than musical excellence of course!

Bing Crosby: Legends In Concert
|
|
|
Crosby was one of the biggest music and movie stars of the mid-20th century. He became a radio star in the early 1930's, a silky-smooth crooner who could sing both pop and jazz. As such he is often credited with inspiring Frank Sinatra and other modern pop singers and he was also a celebrated film star, winning an Oscar in 1944. This hour long programme includes Crosby's theme song 'The Blue of the Night', 'Pennies From Heaven', 'January In June' and 'White Christmas'; which remains a holiday favourite to this day and was for many years the biggest-selling single of all time.

Roger Whittaker: Legends In Concert / Released 2002
|
|
|
This DVD shows the inimitable Roger Whittaker in a live 80s performance singing a selection of the songs that helped to catapult him to a position of world prominence.
Born in Nairobi, Kenya from English parents Roger Whittaker has entertained the world with his velvet smooth voice since he took his first steps into the limelight in 1962 despite gaining a B.Sc in zoology, biochemistry and marine biology.
His break came with a demo tape he had made whilst at Bangor University which attracted the attention of a major music publisher. Realising the potential of Whittaker's voice he arranged for him to cut his first single, quickly followed by a second, which happily, attracted the attention of several radio stations with the consequence that 'Steel Man' became his first hit in the British charts. Roger was on his way!
His career so far has generated sales of 50 million discs worldwide conquering not only Europe but also the States and Canada with such classics as 'The Last Farewell' and 'New World In The Morning'.
Take a seat for 48 minutes of pure escapism in the world of Whittaker, a treat you'll want to repeat!

Neil Sedaka: Legends In Concert
|
|
|
As a boy from Brooklyn Neil had the type of upbringing that was always going to take him into music although his mother would have preferred 'classical' rather than 'popular'. Although continuing his classical interest, at 17 Neil formed a group called 'The Tokens' and caught the attention of record producer Morty Craft, which lead to the group recording a few singles with minor success.
In 1957 at the age of 18, he decided to split from the group to promote himself as a solo artist and recorded 'Snowtime' for Decca. It was his first attempt at multi-tracking but the public failed to appreciate the novelty. His big break came the following year when Connie Francis recorded Neil's composition 'Stupid Cupid' and gave him a chance to demonstrate his skills at the piano. The song was a hit and by late '58 he had been elevated to a contractual position with a leading New York publisher.
Although writing was earning him cash his real ambition was to perform, and with this in mind he joined RCA Records and recorded his million seller 'Oh Carol'. Since then he has never looked back, whether writing for others or performing with that most distinctive of sounds.
In this breathtaking DVD we present Neil live at the Jubilee Hall in Canada, singing evergreens such as 'Standing On The Inside' and many others in an unforgettable performance from one of the world's finest popular entertainers.

Luciano Pavarotti: Legends In Concert
|
|
|
On 12 October 1935 in Modena, Italy Luciano Pavarotti, a legend in the making, was born. The son of a baker and amateur tenor, singing was clearly in his blood, but it was football that first brought him into the limelight when he showed considerable talent playing for his local club. But soccer was to be a lasting passion rather than a direction in life, and a passion he still follows with undimmed enthusiasm.
His baptism into the world of music came about when performing with his father in the Modena Chorus, winning first prize in an international competition. This produced a spark bright enough to ignite a flame in his heart that was, and still is, filling every auditorium in which he appears.
This exclusive DVD gives an opportunity to see and listen to a compilation from his performance in Barcelona singing lesser known arias and sonnets to a spellbound audience.
