Lost Parody-The Laughing Hysteria

By Kunal Wadhwani

Lost Parody as the name suggests is a unique blend of wit, humor and action as against its lost cousin which is the mix of adventure, betrayal, love and emotions. Not only this, the Fine Brothers has made the show even more enchanting by inviting the actors from mega shows and TV series to experience the thrill. This indeed is the innovation of Fine brothers Ben and Rafi to present such a masterpiece in front of you.

I m sure you are actually aware of the parody on Lost and have seen a couple of them. They are easily available on www.lost-tv-show.com and also www.ravenstakes.com, the site owned and operated by the Fine Brothers.

It was really exciting to watch the batmen and Robin appear on the show, and not only this but also explore the island clad in their adventurous robes and find about other inhabitants of the island.

How can you forget the hysteria that occurred when the characters from Heroes, which is about some youth who gain unnatural superpower and are all out to conquer and save the world, come in face with the characters of lost. What follows is a whole lot of confusion along with laughter and fun as the viewers where left in parody which prevailed due to the presence of similar names amongst the two series.

The parody on lost is a far tale apart from the thrill and excitement that takes place on the island. And the site www.lost-tv-show.com covers even this aspect of the mega TV series in detail. You can watch the parody on lost, download the videos and even comment on them, that is whether you like it or not. The main point is that unlike the general perception of spoofs, the Parody on Lost is in no way offensive or detrimental to the stature of the Lost.

However it makes absolutely no sense if you aren't aware of the original show Lost which gains full credit to turn the sides for the ABC Lost show, which was in major debts prior to its launch. - 23812

The Unforgettable Legacy Of Frank Sinatra And Nelson Riddle

By Steve Burnside

Frank Sinatra is now known as the greatest popular singer in history and canonized as 'The Chairman of the Board'. That wasn't always the case, however. It's easy to forget that there was a period of time when he was just another aging teen idol trying to stay relevant in the music business. He also had personal problems that are famous--particularly his tempestuous romance with actress Ava Gardner--as well as damaged vocal chords. There was a point after his 'bobbysoxer' success that he was in bad shape financially and professionally.

To make matters worse, the impresarios at Columbia Records were abusing his talent in an effort to revive his album sales. His pairing with producer Mitch Miller was particularly disastrous. The nadir of this unholy alliance was probably the recording of "Mama Will Bark", where the greatest voice of the 20th century shared the microphone with a buxom actress named Dagmar (sort of a Rhonda Shear of her day) and some other 'vocalist' howling and barking like a dog in the background. Not surprisingly, Sinatra's recordings with Mitch Miller were not a resounding commercial success and in 1952 he was dropped by Columbia.

His luck was soon to improve, however, as a number of his colleagues including former Tommy Dorsey vocalists June Hutton and Jo Stafford got him in the door at Capitol Records. This began a nine year relationship that produced some of the finest work of Sinatra's career. Initially, Frank worked with June Hutton's husband, Axel Stordahl. These sessions produced some decent music including "I'm Walking Behind You" but wouldn't last long. Frank wanted to go in a different direction, which became a necessity when Stordahl left to take a gig with Eddie Fisher in New York. After a lengthy search for a replacement, Sinatra reluctantly agreed to work with an experienced big band conductor named Nelson Riddle. The Capitol Records executives were excited about the matchup, but Sinatra had to be convinced.

To say that the first Sinatra/Riddle session was a success is an understatement, and "I've Got The World On The String" is somewhat of a 'shot heard round the world' for Sinatra's career and popular music in general. The Ted Kohler/Harold Arlen song is given new vibrancy with Riddle's buoyant arrangement and Sinatra's new found vocal maturity. The song was a modest commercial success at the time, reaching #14 on the single charts, but became a classic. It was also a favorite of Sinatra himself, and he continued to perform the song live, frequently as a show opener, for the rest of his life.

Put into a modern context, Frank Sinatra's career is even more remarkable. It's difficult to envision one of today's popular acts among the adolescent set like the Jonas Brothers being able to even transition into a career where they're taken serious as an adult artist. Sinatra far exceeded that goal, leaving an imprint on popular music that may never be equaled. His ascendancy to his status as 'Chairman of the Board' and one of the most important artists of the 20th Century all began with his union with Nelson Riddle. - 23812

The Chairman Of The Board Meets Brazil's Bossa Nova Pioneer

By David Glisan

Frank Sinatra is often dismissed as a mere 'pop' singer and critically diminished relative to his contemporaries. He's often accused of being formulaic and repetitive and not afforded the proper respect for his vocal talent. While Sinatra certainly knew what worked for him, and what kind of songs and arrangements he liked, the assertion that he didn't have the vocal 'chops' is patently unfair. Perhaps the finest example of his vocal excellence is his work with Brazilian guitarist Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Jobim is often credited with popularizing Bossa Nova music outside of Brazil. He worked with Sinatra on an album of samba tinged standards entitled Francis Albert Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim. The work was a critical and commercial success, and Sinatra would hold Jobim in very high regard for the rest of his life"both as a musician and as a friend. After Jobim entered a semi-retirement in the 1970s and 1980s where he did little collaboration with other artists, Sinatra would often introduce his performances of Jobim songs live by remembering his Brazilian colleague in very fond terms or expressing the hope that the two men could work together in the future.

"Wave", written by Jobim and arranged by Eumir Deodato, is among the best of all of the Sinatra/Jobim collaborations. It features some amazing vocal work by Sinatra, including perhaps the lowest notes he ever hit on a recording. It is said that for the rest of his life Sinatra would listen to "Wave" just to hear how good he sounds hitting the bass notes.

This song was to have been a featured track on a second collection of Sinatra/Jobim collaborations, but for some inexplicable reason it was never released as such.One story is that Sinatra himself nixed the release because he didn't like the cover art. The photographer that insisted on posting Sinatra in front of a Greyhound bus mayhave been responsible for depriving the world of a second collection of Sinatra with a bossa nova twist.

"Wave" finally surfaced on "Sinatra and Company" in 1970. "Wave" also appeared on the Reprise box set and of course of the "Complete Reprise Recordings" suitcase collection.

Will Friedwald, in his definitive book on Sinatra's music "Sinatra: The Song Is You" described the singer's work with Jobim as having "flexibility and delicacy, as if they could be blown about by a soft Brazilian breeze". This sensual and sultry song, in particular, is among the finest vocal work of Sinatra's amazing career. - 23812
