A Collection of 3 Hollywood Artists 45's
Now, my next collection of song-poem 45's. This time, it's 3 EP's by Hollywood Artists Records from about the late-80's. 2 songs on each side, and a few of them actually go over 3 minutes long!
- Contributed by: Sammy Reed
MP3:
HAR-Y-48
Side 1
Stephanie Allen - Share Cropper's Daughter (2:34)
William LeBlanc - Who-So-Ever Believes (2:40)
Side 2
William LeBlanc - Hold Me Tight (2:59)
(Yes, folks - Hollywood Artists' resident rapper taking his turn at an
"easy southern-rock" style tune, and not doing too bad in my opinion!)
Charles Clark - Looking Out the Window (2:52)
HAR-Y-49
Side 1
Charles Clark - Can't Chase the Shadows (3:09)
Hollywood Quintet - Opus 3, No. 8 (2:12)
(Obviously one person on a synthesized piano. Phil Milstein's excellent
ASPMA website's discography for Hollywood Artists lists that their
album HAR-28, "Music of America", includes "Opus 3, No. 2",
performed by the Hollywood Quintet and written by James Harold Hughes.)
Side 2
Stephanie Allen - Love You All My Days (3:20)
Erica Laine - Sweet Caress (2:59)
HAR-Y-52
Side 1
Stephanie Allen - The Dream of Fire (3:01)
Stephanie Allen - Gone are the Yesterdays (2:45)
Side 2
Stephanie Allen - Love (2:45)
(The tune borrows a lot from "Day By Day".)
Stephanie Allen - True Love Never Dies (2:39)
(There are a few times when the notes going under Stephanie's usual
vocal register, combined with the subject matter, give this song an accidental -
and I understand, arguable - "goth" feel.)
