Um pouco das coisas que eu amo: música (especialmente samba, mas não só), cinema, arte, e também meu projeto de cinema independente, o filme "Arlequim Capricórnio", uma obra experimental, em preto-e-branco, sem diálogos, com uma linguagem fortemente visual e sem uma narrativa clássica. Uma tentativa, provavelmente não tão bem sucedida, de fazer uso de uma "lógica dos sonhos", mas com uma pontinha de comentário social em alguns momentos. Vamos ver no que vai dar.
Muita obrigada por trazer essa comparação! Não conhecia a versão da Odete Amaral. Apesar de achar todas versões muito boas, de cantoras absolutamente monstruosas, mas a da Elizeth realmente tem algo a mais!
While there was a large, and thankfully diminishing group of...ahem...rednecks who wanted Mr. Cooke as far from their Southern states as possible, they were missing soul shaking, heart pounding, unbelievable displays of talent like Sam did on this night. What a treasure. What a talent. How he is missed. And they missed it all, and instead listened to music dominated by 3 chords.
Essa é a minha música preferida!!! Amo ela, mas infelizmente não sei direito sua tradução, moro no Brasil mas nunca encontro a letra completa dela pra traduzir ... triste
A real diamond of a tune of this December 4, 1969 version here (in playback for "Little Girl Blue" it seems) in the "This Is Tom Jones" TV show! I am still looking for the wonderful guitarist who, in arpeggios which take our hearts, skilfully weaves the framework on which Janis places her heartbreaking melancholy voice. His guitar simply envelops and dances perfectly around Janis' voice. This recording, which ends the documentary "Janis: Little Girl Blue" too, is by far the best version of this piece and it is partly thanks to the playing of this guitar play. There was many reworking along 1969 between the guitarists accompanying Janis and this playback (if it's one) should been therefore recorded before December 1969. It isn't the same one kept on "I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!" LP. What 60's Janis specialist or fan could reveal us with certainty the identity of this very sensitive guitarist of the "This Is Tom Jones" TV "Little Girl Blue" version ? Was it really Sam Andrew ? (mentioned on LP) James Gurley, John Till or an other genius ? It is incredible that nobody mention this perfect accompaniment which is really a shell for this pearl, a perfect sad melancholic song. We shouldn't only salute artists's guitar solos! I was struck by the fact that this video version of Little Girl Blue's live TV performance is much more inspired, richer, more engaging and better timed than the official one on the "Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!" LP released two or three months earlier where the guitar drops and gets sometimes a bit lost. As guitar player, I would be very curious to know who was the mysterious guitarist of this perfect version because it haunts me. While we all agree in saluting the sublime power and voice of Janis in the foreground, curiously, no one asks who was this great guitarist whose beautiful harmonic quality carries 1/3 emotion of this performance by supporting it so well with its twists & turns.
Amigo, eu pesquisei a respeito pra conferir, e tanto no site do IMMuB (Instituto Memória Musical Brasileira) quanto no Dicionário Cravo Albin e no site Discografia Brasileira do Instituto Moreira Salles ela consta como tendo sido lançada em disco 78rpm no ano de 1959.
