CHRISTOPHE: .. France, chanson-variété 1965 / Pop rock 2001

..

Christophe (Daniel Bevilacqua, 1945-2020 Essonne-Brest)

..

Né en Essone d’une famille émigrée du Frioul, icône des années 60/70 et auteur d’un come-back spectaculaire dans les années 2000, le génial chanteur-musicien lyrique aux mots bleus, dandy-kitch autoproclamé, s’en est allé à 75 ans. Ses premiers succès ‘Aline‘ et ‘Les marionnettes‘ (1965) siègent aux grands-classiques, ‘La petite fille du 3ème‘ (1971) conserve la fraîcheur de la rosée du matin et son CD ‘Comm’si la terre penchait‘ (2001) reste l’un des opus les plus spectaculaires jamais produits par la chanson française. C’est en hommage à ‘Aline‘ qu’Alain Bashung écrit ‘Alcaline‘ (1989), chanson dont Christophe enregistre lui-même une version magique en 2011 en l’honneur de son défunt ami.

Born in Essone to an emigrant family from Friuli, icon of the 60s & 70s and author of a spectacular comeback in the 2000s, the brilliant lyrical singer-musician and self-proclaimed kitch dandy passed away at age 75.

THE BEATLES: UK, British beat (1962) and progressive rock (1967)

The Beatles had three lives in 10 years. In 1960-1962, they feature a stage band delivering traditional R&B and rock’n roll, appearing nearly 500 times on stage mostly in Hamburg and Liverpool Clubs. In 1963-1966, they convert into the world’s #1 pop-hits delivering machine, impersonating the British ‘beat-pop’ wave with 7 studio albums, 13 singles and buoyant international tours. In 1967-1970 the band stops touring but successfully  releases another 7 singles and 6 LPs while shifting to a popular style of progressive rock, even with forays into psychedelic rock with its 1966 tracks ‘Rain‘ and ‘Tomorrow never knows‘. In just over 200 songs, the Beatles claim sales topping 500 million units and are the world’s best-selling musical act ever, together with Elvis Presley. From Uruguay to Russia, everyone loves the Beatles.

BOB DYLAN: American folk (1962) and progressive rock (1965)

..

Bob Dylan’s six LPs from 1963 to 1966 – three accoustic, three rock – are major artworks from the 1960s. The singer records more than 500 own-songs and 100 covers between 1962 and 2020. He is also the winner of the 2016 Nobel Prize for Literature, the first musician to receive such distinction. His idea of using ‘cue-cards‘ in his 1965 ‘Subterranean homesick blues’ video-clip was later taken up by many artists. Bob Dylan released his 39th studio album on June 19, 2020.

MIRIAM MAKEBA .. SOUTH AFRICA POP 1950s

..

..

Miriam Makeba was born from a Swazi Banthu mother and a Xhosa Nguni father. She used to sing in choirs during her childhood and was also fond of American jazz. She joined the bands ‘The Cuban Brothers’ in the early 50s, ‘The Manhattan Brothers’ in 1953 and ‘The Skylarks’ in 1956 and later appeared in local musical shows and movies. In late 1959, she moved to New York where Harry Belafonte helped her settle in Greenwich Village, perform in jazz clubs, appear on TV shows and release 10 LPs in 1960-67, reaping worldwide recognition with her hit song Pata Pata (1967).

Since the 1960 Sharpeville massacre in Transvaal, she was a fierce and prominent human rights and antiapartheid activist. The U.S. administration harassed her and cancelled her visa in late 1968. She then immigrated to Guinea where she lived until 1985, becoming Guinea’s official delegate to the United Nations and also acting as a diplomat for Ghana while pursuing her musical career. After having relocated to Belgium, she toured with Paul Simon in 1987 in his ‘Graceland‘ world tour. In 1990, five months after Nelson Mandela was released from prison, she headed back home to South-Africa.

Miriam Makeba was married to the exiled South African musician Hugh Masekela in 1963-68 and to the US Civil Rights and Pan-African movements leader Stokely Carmichael in 1968-73. From 1960 to 2000 she released more than 250 songs in 21 studio LP albums, delivering in many musical genres in African languages – mainly Xhosa, Zulu, Sotho and Swahili – and in English, French and Portuguese. In the late 80s, she was given the moniker ‘Mama Africa’.

MINA: .. Italy pop 1950s / 60s / 70s

(Mina Mazzini, born 1940, Italy)

..

Mina’s debut looks like a fairy tale : in 1957, she is a Cremona-based schoolgirl with a passion for American rock, jazz and swing – notably Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Elvis Presley – sharing her enthusiasm by imitating these singers in front of her friends ; those force her onto a nightclub stage for the first time In July 1958; she joins a local jazz-rock band a week later as lead singer and appears on stage with them in September 1958; that same year, she records four songs (including Gene Vincent’s ‘Be-bop-a-lula‘) with Italdisc and participates in her first song contest where she finishes 2^nd; she records 17 singles in 1959, 16 in 1960 and becomes the new wind of Italian pop, placing eight singles in the 1960 annual Top100 and another 48 from 1961 to 1979. Endowed with a beautiful and powerful voice, Mina is driven by an avant-garde artistic taste and a keen sense of rhythm, swing and exhibition. Her debut recordings are classic rock with ‘Tintarella di luna‘ and ‘Nessuno‘ (the videoclip of which is delicious, with Adriano Celentano), but she quickly gets into romantic song with ‘Il cielo in una stanza‘- by Gino Paoli – which tops the singles’ list during 3 months at the end of 1960. Mina left the scene in 1974 but kept issuing records thereafter. From 1958 to 2023, she has released 72 LP studio albums and 145 singles .

..

Nel 1957, Mina è una studentessa di Cremona appassionata di rock, jazz e swing americano – da Frank Sinatra a Ella Fitzgerald ed Elvis Presley – e ne è entusiasta a tal punto da imitare questi cantanti con i suoi amici. Sono loro a spingerla per la priva volta sul palco di un night club nel luglio 1958. Una settimana dopo si propone come cantante ad una band jazz-rock locale e fa con questa la sua prima apparizione in pubblico nel settembre. Lo stesso anno, registra quattro canzoni (tra cui ‘Be-bop-a-lula’) con la Italdisc e partecipa al suo primo concorso per canzoni, classificandosi al secondo posto. Incide 17 singoli nel 1959 e 16 nel 1960, facendo soffiare vento nuovo nel pop italiano. Otto dei suoi singoli entrano nella Top100 annuale nel 1960 e altri 48 dal 1961 al 1979. Con una bella voce, Mina dimostra un gusto artistico e musicale d’avanguardia e un acuto senso del ritmo, dello swing e dello spettacolo. Le sue prime tracce sono sicuramente rock, come ‘Tintarella di luna‘ e ‘Nessuno’ (la cui clip con Adriano Celentano è deliziosa), ma produce rapidamente anche il suo primo successo nel genere della canzone romantica con ‘Il cielo in una stanza’ di Gino Paoli, che resta per tre mesi ai vertici delle classifiche di vendita alla fine del 1960. Mina lascia perfino la scena nel 1974 ma continua la sua produzione discografica, che totalizza 145 singoli e 72 LP dal 1958 al 2023.
