Lana Songs Genres

Recommended Posts

Lana is a playlist on New York City AM Music Radio 77 ABC in the 1960s early 1970s.

Where they played the Top 14 and extras on one of the most powerful radio stations (heard in something like 30 states on a clear night and even into Canada

(Or the same type station in Los Angeles or Toronto or Chicago, etc.

Where there were no genres not heard. Every type of music played one after another throughout each week, then the new survey every Tuesday

 

If Lana was around back then, she would have had already 18 #1 songs at least.

 

Now radio is so fragmented and the listener is not allowed to hear anything different

 

BTW- Ray Charles and Otis are two that were played on WABC as was Guy Mitchell.

I would say Ray and Otis are R&B(Soul singers) and not classified at all as Jazz. If RayCharles were Jazz, then Willie is Jazz, but he is country, but he is pop,

And Jazz is fragmented

 

Lana and Ella would be consistent, as would Lana and Nina and Lana and Billie and Lana and Bing Crosby and Lana and Louis and Lana and Duke, etc.

 

Many pure jazz lovers didn't accept Miles Davis for years

and the greatest book writer of Jazz, Gary Giddons made it his mission to rehabilitate Bing Crosby after he died and his reputation was ruined by a stupid son of his. And if it wasn't for Bing, who would David Bowie have sung a Christmas song with?


Lana is our modern day Edith Piaf. Totally unique. a mixture of Brian WIlson Roy Orbison, Leonard Cohen, Gram Parsons, Elton & Bernie. Born to Die/Paradise is comparable to Elton's Captain Fantastic. All the records need to be listened whole. Waiting for a box set vinyl of all 400 songs not on any lp

R&B stands for RHYTHM AND BLUES :D

and blues is something completely different than jazz, but i can be wrong here

Ray Charles wouldn't classify himself as blues (especially vintage young Ray Charles) (same with James Brown and Aretha)

 

it all started in the church for the 3, and then as to classification, country/jazz/soul/torch/scat/  but it's all music

 

Ray and Elvis Presley would be similar in both had a similar (to an extent) upbringing (Georgia/Memphis) and blended styles

 

Blues itself came from Blacks  the 1800s into the 1940s were in a way black folk music that led to the mixture of music that is the 1950s rock and roll (which incompassed all forms

together. Without blues/soul/country, there wouldn't have been any of the early rockers (and the early 60s US rockers were directly from the Tin Pan Alley songwriters

 

Blues is also a feeling (ala feeling down, feeling blue)

gets to be a thin line between all of them

I would say Lana is more jazz than blues, but her songs reference blues as a felling inside.

 

ala Elton John's "I guess that's why the call it the blues"

and any country classic singing sitting in a bar singing the blues about someone who left them or a job they lost because they were too busy being drunk

 

and yes, I know R&B encompasses blues)
