...made me feel even better about Melba and George. It all got started in 1963 when Jones' producer, Pappy Daily, signed up Montgomery to a record deal that led to some touring and some recording (and, according to some reports, some romance). Singing-wise, it was a great match. Tennessean Montgomery's bluegrassy, somewhat reedy voice both contrasted and complemented Texan Jones' more mellow sound...
...look as a statement of cool, the Beatles were giddily exuberant and naturally humorous. They were huge fans of the Goons, a British comedy ensemble featuring Sellers and Spike Milligan, whose anarchic radio and TV shows were a '50s foreshadow of Monty Python. Just as they took to their record producer, George Martin, because he had produced comedy records with Sellers and the Goons, so they felt a kinship with Shenson. At this point, Shenson could have easily opted for a standard pop film formula. A sitcom writer could devise a fluffy story involving the boys, leaving space...
...classical music, guitars and drums were the tools of peasants. It never occurred to such critics that the essence of music is the blend of melody, harmony and rhythm, irrespective of how it is performed.

With characteristic fervor, Tucker curated the 1998 Monet in the 20th Century show at the Museum of Fine Arts, setting a new attendance record for the museum. At UMass Boston's pre-Commencement dinner this year, Chancellor Penny declared the establishment of the Paul Hayes Tucker Endowed Chair for the Arts, which was facilitated by $1 million donations from members of the Arts on the Point advisory committee, Barbara Lee Fish and Ellen Poss...
Although it does not appear that the Backstreet Boys' third and latest American album will break the first-week sales record set in March by 'NSync's No Strings Attached, the Boys nevertheless reestablish their positions as heavyweights of pop with Black and Blue, unarguably the strongest boy band release of the year. Replete with standout tracks that reflect the quintet's maturation since Millennium, Black and Blue not only confirms the perennial hit-producing magic of Max Martin and Rami, the principal songwriter-producers behind the Boys, but also marks the fruits of Nick, Brian, A.J., Kevin and Howie...
