Every Beatles Song in Alphabetical Order

admin

After the assassination of John Lennon in 1980, a radio engineer put together a montage of all Beatles songs. This was a lot harder to do back then, on tape, than it would be now. An updated version (with the Anthology songs from the 1990s) can be found here.

I remember hearing a similar montage on one of the Seattle radio stations around the same time. I wonder if it was the same montage?

The station I heard it on rebroadcast it a few times, once during a “Beatles A-Z” weekend. That time, they gave a prize to the first caller to point out which song included in their version of the montage wasn’t by the Beatles. The interloper was “Glad All Over,” by the Dave Clark Five. I didn’t get through on the phone to claim the prize, though.

  1. I have just read the article about Hawaiian Music in the PI. Many of the artists listed I have had the pleasure of meeting personally.

    I have been waiting years to see headlines such as this and it delights me to finally see Hawaiian Music in the headlines.

    Why you ask? I run a Fan Appreciation Website for Hawaiian Singing Sensation (NAME EDITED TO AVOID PROMOTING SPAMMER), have done so since 2000. (NAME EDITED)?s song ?(SONG EDITED)? was aired worldwide as a commercial depicting the attraction to the state of Hawaii; it was also the Theme for the (EDITED). (NAME EDITED) was originally a member of (NAME EDITED) who did back up for (NAME EDITED). The calling to develop this website was more than I could resist Four years ago. I am that person who fell in love with the island sound the first time I heard this artist sing. I have never been smitten with a performer before but the clarity of (NAME EDITED)?s voice along with that tropic romance instantaneously drew me to his music. With this site I want to express how that singer opened a door to the secret Mecca of Hawaiian Music for me, and didn’t even realize it. There upon adding to the mystique of this wonderful but almost (at least to us mainland-dwellers) unknown wealth of artists, hidden there in Paradise. (NAME EDITED) says “There are a lot of big fish in a very small pond.” Thus the reason for so much talent compressed into such a small area.

    My site is a Comprehensive Fan Appreciation Site developed by a fan and a friend, but also is a fan site dedicated by his fans to (NAME EDITED), acknowledging an Exceptional Contemporary Performer, Hawaiian Singer and Musician with current news, music debuts, great photo slideshows and Videos of Performances. Doing so with a serious attempt at displaying his love of his art, which is admired by his many fans worldwide? It is also an extension if you will, of highlighting the talent as well as the new direction in which Hawaii?s Music continues to develop and change with its own unique style. The young progressive musicians in Hawaii?s today are searching for that fusing of cultures that will bring their ever-infectious music into a new modern day view. While experimenting with various kinds of music, they are tied to their Hawaiian Heritage.

    At the same time, they walk a fine line of tradition and modern-day acceptance of their music. While exploring music their heritage binds all the while. I cannot believe how protected the music seems to be in Hawaii. It is almost impossible to get their music stateside, without hunting down and ordering on the Net, or special ordering through a handful of companies or independent artists directly.

    The result is that their music represents balance and versatility.

    This more than aptly describes what this inventive musician, composer, and performer/entertainer is seeking. More than that, he is searching constantly for that coupling of a combination of sounds that brings the magic he and his audience are after. If anyone is going to find the new trends in today’s Contemporary Hawaiian music, you have to believe it is….

    Versatility is the word that best describes (NAME EDITED). He continues exploring and refining his music, mastering his own voice and instruments, looking for the chance to create and add something special to his musical heritage, and repertoire. The result is that his music totally captures his audience and they become completely engulfed in his performances. The latest two additions to his album collection are fine examples of his flexibility, and diversity with award winning songs and something for everyone who listens to enjoy.

    (NAME EDITED)’s musical talent is a blend of traditional Hawaiian music and his own individual sound and style, be it Pop, Traditional Hawaiian, Standards, Jazz or Classics. His music is an excursion into a beautiful world of sound and melody, which opens the door to a vista of Hawaiian Fantasy and imagination. Listening to his music takes the listener down the road to a musical heritage that goes back hundreds of years, blending together, as it states in his song “(SONG EDITED)” with dignity, style and class.

    Finally 6-04 Hawaiian Music to be acknowledged at the Grammys! This is great news and long waited.

    This news as well as seeing Hawaiian Music acknowledged in my hometown is one of my ultimate goals. This website is voluntary, I do this site not to promote or sell anything; I do it to provide a chance for others to see and hear this talented man and appreciate the talent coming from Hawaii. Something I wasn’t able to achieve when first I heard him, and craved to know more. At that time nothing was available.

    ULTIMATELY MY MAIN GOAL: I have enjoyed (NAME EDITED)’s music as well as Hawaiian in general, for several years now and I decided when I met him, that I want to do something in return for him, and his fans. I want to provide an avenue so other people can hear his music and know his face, get acquainted with one of the best kept secrets from this neighboring and yet distant land, and be able to find his music. All in all, be a small part of the excitement of his incredible career. Since I have been given the honor of debuting his last TWO Cds on the site with music clips first to the public, I?m listed on his back cover of (TITLE EDITED) along with my site, and I?ve attended the last two Na Hoku Hanohano awards programs (Hawaiian Grammys) in Waikiki, allowing me to see him (EDITED TO REMOVE IDENTIFYING INFO). I?m a little person who represents a great celebrity/now friend and am very proud of that fact.

  2. I’m sorry, what does any of this have to do with the subject of this post (the Beatles) or with my web log?

    You’ve just spammed my site to promote this guy. You know, if you wanted to buy an AD to promote him, I might sell you one. But you just spammed me with a massive amount of text. I don’t like spammers, so I edited out your website and all identifying information so that your spam won’t do you or your celebrity any good.

    I appreciate that you want to help your friend but SPAM is the wrong way to do it.
