Extra Pressure At 39 Weeks Pregnant

California Dreamin '!

A new item to add my Stories tunes, a song that I love and who have given me feel like turning 20 in 1965, when it was released as a single.

"All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray
I've been for a walk
was winter's day ... "

I do not know why as soon as I hear those opening lines, I have a few chills. Remember



California dreamin ' is an early success of The Mamas & the Papas. It appears on their debut album, If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears , released in 1966, which also contains another of their hits Monday Monday.

California dreamin ' was written in 1963 by John and Michelle Phillips while they were living in New York, inspired by homesickness (California) by Michelle.
A couple of years later, singer Barry McGuire presents the boss of Dunhill Records, which will sign the Mamas & Papas. To thank him, the group let him record the first version of the song for his album This Precious Time . The Mamas & the Papas singing backing vocals on this record, they will recover from elsewhere to take them a few months later.

Here California dreamin ' Barry McGuire:



History of Mamas & Papas is rather chaotic. The group was basically composed by John Phillips, Cass Elliot (Mama Cass), Denny Doherty and Michelle Phillips (both Phillips were married at the beginning ...). It was formed from groups of folk Even Dozen Jug Band and Mugwumps that gave rise to two major groups of the late 70's, The Lovin 'Spoonful and The Mamas & the Papas.
Originally called The Magic Circle, the group sought a name easier to remember for the release of her debut album. Cass and Michelle thought to be called Mamas, the two men agreed to Papas, hence the new group name.


Before continuing with the band's history and that of California dreamin ' , I moved a first series of occasions. For this beautiful song was sung by many artists, and this, in 1966, by Wes Montgomery and Johnny Rivers:



Two years later, in 1968, there were Twice very interesting. First, the Puerto Rican Jose Feliciano on guitar (B-side of his great version of Light My Fire ) ...



... and then by the great Bobby Womack, here is a recent delivery, guitar (followed by a another song you know):



Getting back to the history of Mamas & Papas, the group ran into stormy relations dispute that maintaining Michelle Phillips and Denny Doherty . To further complicate the situation, the beautiful Michelle (pictured cons) fell in love with Gene Clark of The Byrds, which led to the exclusion of the group Michelle in June 1966.
It was replaced by Jill Gibson for recording the second album. Soon, other members of the group realized that would not be the case and Michelle was reinstated in the group, at the request of John, the third album.

Denny lived poorly reconciliation of Phillips and became an alcoholic. The group is looking for inspiration, it was formally separated in July 1968 after a fourth album. A final album was released in 1971 for contractual reasons, the group who signed for five albums on Dunhill Records.

After the band split, Michelle Phillips embarked on a solo album after movie went unnoticed. But especially in the American series that has seen much in the 70 and 80. For the record, in 1970, she married Dennis Hopper but the marriage lasted only eight days.
Cass Elliot (pictured cons), meanwhile, enjoyed some solo success before dying of a heart attack after a concert, July 29, 1974.
John Phillips gave a mixed solo career and died, also of heart problems in 2001. Denny Doherty was the host of variety shows in Canada. He died in 2007 of an abdominal aneurysm.

In the 70's, California dreamin ' also enjoyed some interesting times, and always by guitarists. George Benson in 1971:



Eddie Hazel in 1977:



In 1986, the Beach Boys, who had already resumed California dreamin ' in the 70's , recorded a version, a little weird for my taste, for their compilation Made in USA (Michelle Phillips appears in the video):



In 1966, a French adaptation, without interest, will be made by Richard Anthony



The Quebec Roches blend the French and English lyrics in 2010 for a version without interest either:



Personally, I much prefer the version of Queen Latifah in 2004:



And I conclude with another version of 2004, a German dance, Royal Gigolo, which was largely inspired by the sound of Benny Benassi (I'm sure she will appeal to many My friend Max):



If you want other times, I encourage you to go have a look at the excellent blog buddy Juthova La Reprise Musicale who devoted an article to California dreamin ' some time ago.

Poets .... and the idiots!

Brassens, Gainsbourg, Trenet ....
The other day, doing research on Georges Brassens for another of my editorial activities, which I will talk soon, I realized that this year it's 30 year s that we had left 20 years for Serge Gainsbourg and 10 years for Charles Trenet. At first sight, apart from being dead 10 years apart, those three did not have much in common.
But when looking around, we still found a few.

course, which for me, brings these three great artists, is poetry. In styles different, they were all three great poets. Georges Brassens was a popular poet in the sense that it has raised poetry to the rank of a popular art, with a note of subversion, like Serge Gainsbourg. The latter gave more in the style poet maudit image he had himself forged. As for Charles Trenet, I prefer to offer you a song I love and is worth every speech:



Soul poets Trenet was written in 1951 for the film Bouquet joy . His words adorn the walls of a house in Narbonne his hometown.

And yes, The Singing Fool is a child of the Languedoc region, my darling. It is a common point with him Brassens, was Sete Island singular.
Being somewhat chauvinistic, I could not ignore the regional affiliation. But this was absolutely not the case with Gainsbourg, Parisian, if any.

In fact, I found something else in common with those three, a detail of course, but that made me smile. This common point is summarized in one word: "idiot". They all three have sung the idiots.

Regarding Brassens, his song about the idiots, you all know. The Time does not matter in 1961 and appears on the album of the same name. Its chorus is an absolute truth:
" Time does not matter
When you're stupid, it is designed
That is twenty years, whether we grandfather
When one is stupid, it is designed "



Regarding Gainsbourg is a film by Georges Lautner, released in 1968, he wrote his Requiem . The Pasha is an excellent film with a screenplay and dialogues Audiard. Serge Gainsbourg sang Requiem playing his own role in a recording studio.
This song is considered by some as the first French rap:



As Trenet, his homage to the idiots is a little more discreet but very nice. He just concluded a very beautiful song, Cor, adapted to the famous Alfred de Vigny ( I love her body at night in the woods ). This is one of his last works date since 1991. It is at the very end of the song and as cons-kneaded that Trenet addresses cons:
" Like the sound of the horn
Like the body of his
Like the fate of the evening con in my heart ... "

I offer a live for his 80 years at the Opera Bastille in 1993:



Right now, I'm a little tired by the Bullshit that rages around me. And every day that passes, the words of Frederic Dard seem more pertinent: " There are many ways to be stupid, but always chooses the worst con ." As those of A. udiard: "The cons, it dares all and that's why we even recognize " ...
