After he wrote the charts for several sizeable Columbia hits during the mid-'50s, Conniff became a solo creative person as well, applying his arranging techniques to instrumental easy-listening for the thriving adult album market store. The result, dozen Top Ten LPs and well over 50 trillion total albums sold, cemented his position as peerless of the top LP peter Sellers of all time, only his increasingly watered-down and commercially focused arrangements gained few thomas Young fans by the ending of the sixties. Though he continued transcription and touring the world into the nineties, Conniff's albums slipped off the charts in the early '70s. Innate in November 1916 in Attleboro, Massachusetts, Ray Conniff gained much of his musical go through inside the house. His father, a trombone player, light-emitting diode a local lot while his mother played the pianissimo. Ray began ahead a local ring while in high school -- picking up the trombone for the beginning sentence not long before -- and began writing arrangements for it; after commencement exercise, he stirred to Boston and began playing with Dan Murphy's Musical Skippers (besides playing and transcription, Conniff drove the band about). By the mid-'30s, he was ready for the swelled time, landing in New York simply later the birth of the fat dangle geological era. He comped around Manhattan for several age, and by 1937 landed an arranging/playing job with Bunny Berigan. Two old age later, he stirred to Bob Crosby's Bobcats, one of the hottest bands of the time, though Conniff stayed for only a year before joining up with Artie Shaw and afterward Glen Gray. With the coming of American involution in World War II by 1941, Conniff coupled the Army, though the nighest he came to Wake Island was Hollywood, where he worked as an arranger with Armed Forces Radio. At the conclusion of the warfare, Conniff worked with Harry James merely lost interest in arrangement when boP touched to center stage during the late '40s. Completely divorced from the medicine business, he studied conducting and medicine possibility during the early '50s, emerging by 1954 to take on a position with Columbia Records and ill-famed pop producer Mitch Miller. The following year, he put his theories to practice with Don Cherry (the vocaliser, non the jazz trumpeter) on a Top Five hit, "Band of Gold." Close on its heels were some more than full-grown hits of 1956-57, including the bit ones "Vocalizing the Blues" by Guy Mitchell and "Chances Are" by Johnny Mathis, summation Top Five entries by Johnnie Ray ("Simply Walking in the Rain"), Frankie Laine ("Moonlight Gambler") and Marty Robbins ("A White Sport Coat [And a Pink Carnation]"). Columbia, doubtless ecstatic over the succeeder of its organizer, agreed to let Conniff record an subservient record album, and the result, 'S Wonderful (1956), exhausted months on the album charts. With a like spirit (though far tamer results) to Lambert, Hendricks & Ross' album of the same year, Sing a Song of Basie -- which canned classic Basie orchestra solos into vocal parts -- Conniff arranged parts for an cushy chorus of singers just now as he had with instrumentalists in the past. 'S Wonderful was desktop subservient music for adults wHO tranquil liked to listen the human voice, and the technique grew to define the "Muzaky" feel of much of the adult pop of the fifties and '60s. During the rest of the late '50s, four Ray Conniff albums reached the Top Ten, light-emitting diode by the gold-certified 'S Marvelous and Concert in Rhythm. Conniff did well in the early '60s as well, with pop paper albums like Pronounce It with Music (A Touch of Latin), Memories Are Made of This, So Much in Love, 'S Continental, and We Wish You a Merry Christmas, which continued to chart during the holiday season of the future six-spot long time after its 1962 release engagement. The rise of rock & wave in the mid-'60s apparently hurt Conniff's record sales, though in 1966 the inclusion of "Lara's Theme" in the film Doctor Zhivago resulted in Conniff's only significant singles-chart placing at figure nine, and a million-selling record album with Somewhere My Love. During the late '60s, he began to include the softer side of tilt and Bacharach-David pop into his repertoire, with artists from Simon & Garfunkel to the Carpenters and the Fifth Dimension all receiving the Conniff treatment (aboard more than confutative attempts, such as "Theme from 'Shaft'"). He continued to criminal record albums and perform to his gravid Latin American hearing into the nineties. On October 12, 2002, Conniff passed off after falling down and hit his head. He had suffered a stroke months prior, merely Conniff's health continued to deteriorate. He was 85. |

Harry Potter - Fewer Blockbusters Hit Cineworld
Cineworld has blamed a lack of summer blockbusters for lower admission figures to its chain for the first half of the year.
Admissions were down slightly to �20.6 million from �21.7 million concluding year, as fewer blockbusters were released this year compared to 2007.
Last year, films such as the fifth Harry Potter installment helped supercharge revenues. The sixth in the enfranchisement, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, was due to be released in the autumn, simply Warner Brothers have now pushed stake the particular date to the following summer.
This year, Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull and Sex and the City both proven popular with audiences, Cineworld said, and box spot takings were �40 million and �26 million respectively.
Sex and the City was particularly remunerative as the predominantly female audience presented unique marketing opportunities, Cineworld said.
Tony Bloom, chairman of Cineworld, commented: "This is a solid set of results, particularly when viewed against a backdrop of far fewer blockbuster films in the period and an progressively challenging consumer environment."
Despite the economic lag, Cineworld said revenues were still strong, up 0.9 per cent from last year to �137 million.
"The enduring appeal of film continues to be even more than pronounced in times of economic uncertainty and we feel confident that the strong line up of films in the second half will drive admissions, particularly in the quartern quarter, when James Bond: Quantum of Solace, Madagascar 2 and High School Musical 3 hit our screens," chief executive Stephen Wiener aforementioned in a statement.
The sir Ernst Boris Chain plans to roll out new cinemas across the UK and opened a new 12-screen cinema in March.

Is This the Weekend �The Dark Knight� Will Finally Come in Second Place?
Photo: Courtesy of Warner Bros.
Now that The Dark Knight has broken practically every record (including the ones for world's longest fingernails and Olympic long jump) and outgrossed formidable competition like The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emporer and Space Chimps, could its three-week reign as our No. 1 movie finally be nearing an end? According to Fantasy Moguls, Pineapple Express is on track to earn as much as $28.7 million over the next three days, while the latest Batman adventure will probably make another $27 million (bringing its overall gross to a not-bad $440 million). Obviously this is a close race, but if Knight does somehow manage to stay ahead and it can hold its own against Tropic Thunder next weekend, Vulture predicts it will be America's No. 1 movie through the winter and Paul Dergarabedian will have to talk about it every Sunday for the rest of his life.

iPhone takes over Twitter to an embarrassing degree
I just did a search for "iPhone" on Summize, the Twitter search engine, and was given a page of the 15 most recent "iPhone" tweets. All 15 of them had been sent "less than ten seconds ago."
Click the link yourself and you're likely to find the same, with maybe a few 20-second-ago tweets if you hit a slow moment.
There was so much iPhone noise that some people said Twitter was strategically limiting extra services just to stay online for the whole speech.
Most of the chatter is repetitive declarations of joy, impending purchase, or disappointment.
"I am so going to get the new 3G iPhone," said one guy. "Already got [J]uly 11th off," agreed another. "Oh yes I will go get one," said a third, and a fourth declared that he was "salivating," and a fifth, "drooling."
And these tweets were all within about 2 minutes of one another.
When one Twitterer asked when the new iPhone was being announced, I couldn't tell if she was joking. Thankfully, looks like she was.
I get it that the iPhone is neat and even an important part of the digital communications revolution -- but my goodness -- isn't there anything else to be excited about? You'd think Steve Jobs had just announced the release of the iTimeMachine or iTelepathy or iUniversalHealthCare.
For instance, check out a Summize search for Iraq -- some of the newest tweets are three hours old. Maybe Iraq would get more attention if they renamed it iRaq...
Whaddya think, Steve?

Hugh Grant - Grant Hurley Win Cash Payout Over Holiday Snaps
Actor HUGH GRANT and his ex-girlfriend ELIZABETH HURLEY have won $116,000 (GBP58,000) in damages for invasion of privacy, after they were photographed on holiday in a private resort in the Maldives.
Grant, model Hurley and her businessman husband Arun Nayar filed suit against photo agencies Big Pictures (U.K.) Limited and Eliot Press SARL last year (07), when snaps of the trio on holiday were published in a number of British newspapers.
Laura Tyler, the lawyer representing Grant, Hurley and Nayar, appeared at London's High Court on Thursday morning (15May08), when she told Mr Justice Eady that the pictures had been taken covertly and without her clients' knowledge. She also argued that the claimants had chosen the resort because it offered them complete privacy and seclusion.
She told the court: "It has been most upsetting for the claimants to have their privacy invaded by these defendants."
The photos were later printed in the News of the World and The Mail on Sunday newspapers, as well as a number of celebrity magazines.
In addition to the cash for damages, the claimants will receive some money towards their legal costs from the two photo agencies, and agency bosses apologised for any distress their actions may have caused.
Further contributions will also be made by the News of the World's publisher News Group Newspapers, and Associated Newspapers, which prints The Mail on Sunday.

tertiary Bass was one of a still-small number of white rap artists to accomplish wide of the mark acceptance in the bigger community. Along with the Beastie Boys, tertiary Bass proved that andrew D. White rap wasn't needfully going to suit a watered-down, commercially exploitatory heist of the genuine article, as so many white River interpretations of black musical forms had been in the past. Instead, they were berserk of a well-developed lyric technique and were respectfully well-versed in hip-hop culture and tradition. They helped go under the musical note for the room ovalbumin rappers could believably and intelligently approaching the music, and scorn staying together for only 2 albums, they managed to create a highly positive permanent impingement.
3rd Bass was formed by Queens-born MC Serch (innate Michael Berrin) and Brooklyn-native Prime Minister Pete Nice (innate Pete Nash), along with African-American DJ Richie Rich (innate Richard Lawson). Nice had been an English major at Columbia University and hosted a short-lived rap music show up on radio station WKCR. Serch, in the meantime, had honed his skills battle-rapping at clubs and jam parties and had antecedently released a solo undivided called "Hey Boy" on the small independent Idlers label. Both Serch and Nice were working as solo acts until producer Sam Sever convinced the deuce 20 year olds to conjoin forces in 1987. Along with Prince Paul and the Bomb Squad, Sever produced their 1989 Def Jam debut, The Cactus Album (aka Cee/D), which was greeted with enthusiastic reviews in most quarters. Clever, good-humoured singles like "The Gas Face," "Steppin' to the A.M.," and "Brooklyn-Queens" helped make 3rd Bass's name in the rap music subway. They followed it in 1991 with Derelicts of Dialect, which featured one of the low recorded appearances by Nas and contained a savagely singular thrusting at Vanilla Ice called "Kill Goes the Weasel." Accompanied by an equally humourous video, "Pop Goes the Weasel" became third Bass's biggest chart single and performed some much-needed harm control in the hip-hop community: not only did it forestall third Bass from getting lumped in with Ice, but by file name extension, it too distanced at least some of the Caucasian race from the whole phenomenon, opening doors for greater inclusiveness later on.
Disdain their success, third Bass disbanded in 1992 when MC Serch went solo. He issued Turn back of the Product later that year, and the remainder of the grouping, billed as Prime Minister Pete Nice & DJ Daddy Rich, teamed up for Dust to Dust in 1993. Neither was as successful or high profile as the two gold-selling tertiary Bass albums. Serch, interested in discovering new talent, became the head of A&R at the well-thought-of, now-defunct Wild Pitch tag, and later founded his possess judge, Serchlight Productions. Nice, meanwhile, dropped out of the medicine business and opened a store in Cooperstown, NY, that sold baseball memorabilia. In 2000, third Bass reunited for several concerts.
