Libby Holman - The House of The Rising Sun 1940s
Libby Holman's musical style changed in the 1940s when she teamed up with Josh White and began to study a repertoire of what she would call 'Americana' - namely Blues, Spirituals, and Folk Songs.
Actively involved in supporting the Civil Rights Movement, Holman & White were turned away from entertaining the troops overseas during WWII as the USO did not accept 'racially mixed shows.' Instead they went on the road to perform in nightclubs. Libby Holman would eventually self-produce a one woman revue, Blues, Ballads and Sin Songs which she performed in 1954.

Broadway star and American torch singer, Libby Holman's career was cut short by tragedy when her millionaire husband, heir to the Camel Tobacco fortune, was killed by a gunshot wound to the head and Libby was indicted for murder. Although the charges were later dropped, her musical career never recovered from the scandal and Broadway lost one of its brightest stars. My Man Is On The Make by Lor...

Bugs - A Meditation on Insects

I've always had a strange fascination with bugs since I was a child. Now instead of collecting them, I photograph them: some are camera shy while some are willing subjects. The music used is Theravada Buddhists chanting, which I chose because of their high regard of all living things.

Singer Billy Mackenzie (27 March 1957 - 22 January 1997) recorded this Randy Newman cover probably in the period 1993-95. It was never released during his lifetime. This tribute video was made in memory of Billy Mackenzie and his great vocal talent, it was made for all those who knew him, and for those who are yet to know of his amazing voice and music.

'I've Got The World On A String' sung by Frank Sinatra was one of Monty's favourite records that he liked to play over and over again (Bosworth). Indeed, for a brief time in the early Fifties, it did seem that he had The World on a string: An acclaimed Broadway stage career; one of Hollywood's most promising and gifted actors; his beautifully handsome good looks that made him a teen idol to tho...
A “haunting” voice
Gypsy voice and manner of singing
what is that
Wat awe voice man
Немного не дотягивает до уровня других исполнителей этой песни, но ей простительно... Другие исполнители ещё НЕ родились ! ))))
This version made me appreciate Animals version even more. But isn’t it nice this version is available on UA-cam too?
Wow , man lernt nie aus ❤.
I sometimes complain that modern singers sing entirely without vibrato, but she sings entirely IN vibrato. There's got to be a happy medium somewhere.
Josh White's guitar provides a perfect accompaniment to Ms. Holman's voice. The song was in Mr. Whites repertoire and was released by Mr. White in October 1944. The song was first collected by Alan Lomax from a Tennessee woman named Georgia Turner. Ms. Turner insisted that the house of the Rising Sun was the Libby Parish Prison for Women in New Orleans. The arched stone over the gate had a stone carving of a rising sun right in the middle of the arch. IF one analyzes the words of the original couple of versions, it seems obvious that the House of the Rising Sun was a prison and not a brothel, why else would, "Put on my ball and chain" make sense?
The House of the Rising Sun Performed by Libby Holman & Josh White There is a house in New Orleans, they call the Risin’ Sun. And it’s been the ruin of a many poor girl, and me, oh God, poor one. Go tell my baby sister don’t do what I have done, please, shun that house in New Orleans they call the Risin’ Sun. I’m going back to New Orleans. My race is almost run. Yes, I’m going back to spend my life beneath that Risin’ Sun. March 23, 1942, Album “Blues Till Dawn” Дім, де Сонця Схід / The House of the Rising Sun (translated into Ukrainian) Performed by Libby Holman & Josh White Стоїть в Нью-Орлеані дім, Схід Сонця зветься він. Кого погибель жде у нім, то знає Бог один. Підіть скажіть сестриці, як я, чинить не слід. Та й прошу не дивитись на дім, де сонця схід. Вертаюсь я в Нью-Орлеан - би шлях свій завершить. Там дім, де сонце світить вам, там мушу й вік дожить.
She does have a very moving and powerful voice. She is very talented. It's just not my taste.
Okay...this one just chilled my blood...but in the best possible way.
Never heard this version before
Oh how I adore it when a woman sings low! Altos get the short end of the stick so often and it's so nice when they actually get to show off their lower range. Long live Libby Homan <3
Oh Lord, I always knew that this song was Your creation, intended for the lost and those without hope, and will continue throughout eternity.🤺🙏💙
was he the youngest son?
this woman lived a tragic life.
Насколько время ускорилось
MONTGOMERY ERA UN CHURRO, GUAPISIMO.
This has that feeling of Ella Fitzgerald and Louise Armstrong doin a Summertime very southern savannah kinda sound... Visceral
Credit should go to Dennis wheatley who arranged , produced and came up with the idea of recording the song for Billy . This was originally recorded by the act Atlas and Billy was to be the featured vocalist , we ( I was part of the act with Dennis ) both loved Billy’s voice and asked him to record with us …and he delivered a stunning vocal .x
A brave pioneer ? Why aren't they making a movie about her !!!
Libby makes an appearance as an employee of Polly Adler in the biography "Madam" by Debby Applegate.
THE BEST ,!!!
I am surprised Holman and White are not more well known. This was was fricken amazing.
Todo un galas que ojazos Monty Clif, siempre te recordaré mis ojos grises, mi delgaducho 👍🕊🇪🇦💫👋
Чето перетянула эту вещь
Better singer than Madonna such a tragic death
Wow this is the first time I even heard about Libby Holman
What a voice! With no real backup. Haunting.
This is the song I expect to suddenly start playing while I'm exploring a haunted house
So, so good
Why does music suck so bad in 2020's?
Listening to this version...I can swear I can almost feel the moist Louisiana heat. The tragic history and eerie legends of the deep south are encapsulated perfectly in this cover of the song. Also, I just listened to “Frankie Teardrop” a few minutes ago. My house is probably haunted.
magnifique
Much too slow
Incredibly beautiful vocal.
BELLISSIMA
Dang really dragging it out
See See Rider
I can't stand any version sung from a guy's perspective. This song was always about of a tired old whore who was trapped in servitude to a brothel.
OMG,this Voice is perfect
Что это я только что слушала 😳

putting it on 2x speed makes it sound like she’s singing into a fan
This version not for me!
