Mississippi Flood- B.B. King Feature. - Sunday, April 19, 2009
'Mississippi Flood'- B.B. King Anniversary Feature. 'For the 'King of Blues', his instrument Lucille has always represented far more than an emotion or woman; she is an ebony, maple gold, pearl-inlaid heir to the Gibson throne. Her family tree leads us to the road where the crossroads point towards the very essence of modern electric blues. It is from her breast that Riley B. King has drawn a lifetime of achievements. Powerful yet sensual, unfaltering vibrato strokes, two note string bends and trademark techniques are delivered with economic precision. Countless historians have acknowledged the details of significant events in the politics of race and oppression, yet with his guitar by his side, B.B. King is a total entity, he is a cultural event- creative, unerringly personal and iconoclastic. Fire, tempered with the flood of native Mississippi indignation, he realised his musical ends through blood, sweat and tears, tempered by the grace of gospel for those who are willing to receive his presence..' Full article: Nuance Special features section.

'The RSO Treatment'. Robert Stigwood Impresario Extraordinaire- By Stephanie Lynne Thorburn.

Dr. David English with Robin Gibb Photo: Keith Curtis. |
2007-10-25 14:03:30 -
The avant-garde world of 1960's psychedelia heralded a new age of cultural and psychic consciousness, a world stratified by the rich hierarchies of stars across the spectrum of media. These apparently simultaneous developments in music, film and the stage were born of one dream, a series of visions eclipsed together by the rationality of a single mind. For this man his only fear was to lose the chase, exhausting and exploring all natural opportunities within the creative realm, an approach cautioned by cynics as practically impossible due to the bureaucratic status quo of the industry.This irrepressible impresario was manager and producer extraordinaire, Robert Stigwood, his vision comprised of building an empire crossing the boundaries between management, recording, publishing and producing.
