Count Five. Count Five - US Garage Punkers. San Jose, California, 1964. Local rock'n'roll band the Squires has the good fortune of hooking up with Irish native John Sean Byrne, fresh from playing with Dublin beat group, the Scorpions. Though Byrne has written a song that the group, now renamed Count Five, completely believes in, it is to be rejected over the course of the next couple of years by several record labels, including Capitol and Fantasy. But after impressing deejay Brian Lord at a local fraternity party, Count Five audition at the old Decca Studios in Los Angeles, where the band is informed by manager Sol Ellner that they have finally landed a recording contract. The song is released as a single by new label Double Shot, and becomes a smash hit (Top 10 in October of 1966), propelling the group to dizzying new heights. Yet after much fanfare, including tours with the Beach Boys, Byrds, and Dave Clark Five, an appearance on American Bandstand, and the release of a full LP, Count Five turns down a million dollars worth of bookings to stay in school. That's right . . . a million. In 1967 dollars!
The song that launched Count Five on its way, of course, was Psychotic Reaction, a classic rave-up that firmly entrenched the band in the pantheon of garage rock legends. Though, in a recent interview for 60sgaragebands.com, Byrne denied the notion that the song was influenced at all by the Yardbirds, it's difficult after one listening not to associate the two. One thing that cannot be denied, however, is the fact that Psychotic Reaction is one of the most endearing singles of the 1960s garage band explosion. (By Mike Dugo)

The Knack. В самый разгар эпохи диско и панка эта команда стремительно ворвалась на сцену со своим мелодик-роком, наделала немало шороху и впоследствии быстро сдала свои позиции. Во второй половине 70-х Дуг Фигер (вокал, гитара), работавший в то время в группе Sky, начал пописывать материал вместе с Бертоном Эверре (гитара). Дело у них ладилось, и в 1978-м парни решили организовать собственный проект, к созданию которого привлекли басиста Прескотта Найлса и барабанщика Брюса Гэри. Первый же концерт The Knack, состоявшийся в клубе Whisky-A-Go-Go, произвел на публику огромное впечатление.
Вскоре группа уже играла вместе с такими исполнителями как Брюс Спрингстин, Том Петти, Рэй Манзарек, Эдди Мани и Стивен Стиллс, а лос-анджелесские заведения типа Troubadour и Starwood на ее выступлениях были забиты до отказа. Журнал Rolling Stone напечатал о восходящих звездах статью, и спустя пару месяцев между рекорд-компаниями разгорелась настоящая битва за право получить лакомый кусочек. Из 13 фирм The Knack остановили свой выбор на Capitol Records.
С бюджетом в 17000 долларов и известным хитмейкером Майком Чэпменом в качестве продюсера коллектив отправился в студию готовить первый альбом. На его создание ушло всего две недели, поскольку все писалось вживую и почти что без овердабов. Такой подход позволил сохранить энергетику концертов и обеспечил хороший старт. Get The Knack стал одним из самых коммерчески успешных дебютов в истории рока. Синглы My Sharona и Good Girls Don’t побывали на самой вершине Billboard, причем первый из них провел там шесть недель. Сам альбом за две недели обрел золотой статус, и еще через пять взял платину. Сопутствующее мировое турне прошло с аншлагами, а по возвращении с гастролей музыканты вновь засели в студии.
Впрочем, на этот раз спешка им повредила, и второй альбом ожидал гораздо меньший успех. But The Little Girls Understand дополз лишь до 15 строчки, а более-менее приличным хитом оказалась вещица Baby Talks Dirty, пробившаяся в Топ 40. Если при выпуске первой пластинки музыканты упорно отказывались от интервью, то теперь пересмотрели свою политику по этому вопросу, но было уже поздно.
В 1981 году под присмотром продюсера Джека Дугласа The Knack записали альбом Round Trip, тщательно отполированный по сравнению с двумя предыдущими работами. Однако этот релиз остался болтаться в конце первой сотни, и вскоре команда распалась. Небольшой реюнион произошел в 1986-м, когда коллектив откатал полноценное турне, но новый материал выпускать не стал. В следующий раз The Knack собрались в 1991-м, причем место Брюса занял Билли Уорд. С продюсером Доном Уозом группа записала альбом Serious Fun, и хотя сингл Rocket Of Love пробил горячую десятку AOR-чартов, лейбл не стал заниматься промоушеном, и вся работа пошла насмарку. В 1994-м песня My Sharona попала в саундтрек к фильму Reality Bites и благодаря последовавшему всплеску популярности Knack смогли провести нормальный тур.
В 1997-м группа поучаствовала в создании пластинок, посвященных Брюсу Спрингстину и Badfinger, а в 1998-м разродилась новым альбомом Zoom. Записанный с барабанщиком Терри Боззио, диск вызвал положительную реакцию критиков, но Rhino Records вновь не уделили ему должного внимания, и продажи остались на минимальном уровне. Однако The Knack, похоже, не собирались сдаваться и, вернувшись к своему фирменному пауэр-попу и наняв на роль ударника Дэвида Хендерсона, в 2001 году выдали вполне достойную работу Normal As The Next Guy.

CHERISH-THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!. Группа Cherish- четыре сестры, родом из Атланты. Farrah King, 1984 Neosha King, 1986
Felisha and Fallon King, 1988
Albums:
Unappreciated Released:August 15, 2006 (USA) Label: Capitol Records/Sho'nuff Records USA Sales: 500,537 Worldwide: 720,000 RIAA certification: Gold
The Truth Released:April 29, 2008 (USA) Label: Capitol Records/Sho'nuff Records USA Sales: TBA RIAA certification: TBA
Most people are not ready for the truth. But, Cherish is.
In fact, these four singing sisters who hit it big in 2006 with the dance hit “Do It to It” from the Gold-certified album, Unappreciated, are positive that you are ready as well. “Our new album is named The Truth, and it basically delves into the different aspects of our lives,” says an excited Fallon, 20. “The entire album reflects our lives and our situations.”
Their sophomore project introduces young women who have found their unique place in a field full of duplicates and manufactured stars.
The potent first single “Killa”—about not being able to resist the man you know is no good—produced by Don Vito and featuring rapper Yung Joc, is rhythmically robust and vocally arresting. “The initial perception of Cherish was that we were this little girl group with catchy records,” says Farrah, 24, seemingly the most laidback sister of the clan. “We put a lot of time, energy and effort into The Truth and it’s a testament to our growth.”
Cherish is hardly new to the game. In fact, both of their parents are musicians and their father, who doubles as their manager, was a part of Pop (Professions of Sounds) who once toured with the legendary Earth, Wind & Fire. ‘’We have all been singing professionally since we were little kids,’’ says Felisha, the gregarious element of the group. ‘’Everyone in the industry has seen us grow up. Albeit young, they grasp that all experience-good or bad-generate growth. “It was definitely a struggle, growing up in the music industry, but, we don’t regret it, says Fallon. “These struggles have only made us stronger,” injects Neosha, 22. ‘’And that’s what The Truth is all about.”
These ladies are now ready for the world to experience their progression as singers and even more as songwriters. “We want people to know about our writing abilities, “says Neosha. “We wrote our entire first album and this one, with the exception of a few tracks written with The Dream (who penned Rihanna’s global smash “Umbrella.”).” The Truth offers songs relating to real situations that all of the group’s fans—old and new, male and female—can relate to.
“We have the ultimate break up song, ‘Lovesick’ (produced by Adonis and K-Fam). It’s our ‘Cry Me a River’, says Felisha. “You find pleasure in the fact that your ex-boyfriend, who dogged you out, wants to get back with you. It’s a little mean, but it’s all about karma,” laughs Neosha. The Jazze Pha produced “Like A Drum” also drops a breakup bomb, but from another perspective. “Your man comes home, you have candles lit and then he tells you he can’t be with you anymore. And it’s like, ‘What do I do now?’ explains Felisha.
“Before You Were My Man”, produced by Eric Hudson, delivers a story that flips tradition and puts the fellas on the receiving end for a change. “Basically, you are telling your boyfriend that you were with his best friend before you two were together. But, you waited awhile to tell him because you did not know how. We thought it was a way to give guys a taste of their own medicine,” says Fallon, who admits the song is autobiographical.
In whole, The Truth is the Cherish experience.
Replacing the sugary pop confections of the past are confessional R&B jams with scorching lyrics and equally blistering music. “There is not one song on this album where we are not singing our hearts out,” says Felisha without hesitation. “We are focused on delivering real R&B,” says an equally confident Farrah.

I need some Frank. For all who loves him, Mister Voice - Frank Sinatra!
Some information... just to recall
Francis Albert Sinatra (December 12, 1915 – May 14, 1998) was a jazz oriented popular singer and Academy Award-winning actor. Beginning his musical career in the swing era with Harry James and Tommy Dorsey, Sinatra became a solo artist with great success in the early 1940s. His professional career had stalled by the 1950s, but it was reborn in 1953 after he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. He signed with Capitol Records, and released several critically lauded albums (such as In the Wee Small Hours, Songs For Swingin' Lovers, Come Fly With Me, Only the Lonely and Nice 'n' Easy). Sinatra left Capitol to found his own record label, Reprise Records (finding success with albums such as Ring-A-Ding-Ding, Sinatra at the Sands and Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim), toured internationally and fraternized with the Rat Pack and President John F. Kennedy in the early 1960s. Sinatra turned fifty in 1965, recorded the retrospective September of My Years, and scored hits with Strangers in the Night and My Way. Sinatra attempted to weather the changing tastes in popular music, but with dwindling album sales and after appearing in several poorly received films, he retired in 1971. Coming out of retirement in 1973, he recorded several albums, scoring a hit with (Theme From) New York, New York, and toured both within the United States and internationally until a few years before his death in 1998.
