Aretha Franklin Rescue Me

Apple WWDC 2011: as it happened

7.59pm And that's it. Steve says the data centre that powers all this is eco-friendly. "So go at it," he says.

7.55pm 'iTunes Match' will give you access, via the cloud to all the songs you already own and have ripped to hard disk. $24.99.

7.53pm There is - "It pertains to iTunes in the cloud". Do go on.

7.52pm So Steve - is there time for one more thing?

7.49pm Automatic downloads of music to different devices, too: an impressive service. Nine apps make up iCloud. But it seems to only be music purchased from iTunes. So for many a music locker, from Google or Amazon, say, might be better?

7.45pm And finally... iTunes in the cloud. "Anything I've bought I can now download to any of my devices at no additional charge".

7.45pm After a brief demo, Steve is back on stage. "Isn't that awesome?" he asks. Consensus in the affirmative.

7.40pm A quick recap of the headlines: new Mac OSX Lion comes with gestures and new Mail; new iOS 5 comes with improved notifications; iCloud provides access to all your files, claendars, photos, music etc, whatever Apple device you're using, via the web.

7.39pm And now any photo taken gets backed up and sent to all your other devices, via iCloud.

7.38pm Steve is super-excited about how simple this all is. No saving, no backing-up, just one big cloud and easy access.

7.32pm All your music, books, videos, photos and settings and app data can now be accessed from the cloud. Plus Documents. So far, this is feeling quite Google, but it's Apple-slick.

7.25pm So this cloud service, which allows all devices to be up to date replaces MobileMe and is free.

7.25pm 'We're going to demote the PC and the Mac to just be a device' says Steve. So now photos, music, whatever, all available, wherever you are on whatever Apple device you're using. Clever. But the devil will be in the detail.

7.15pm "I'm going to talk about iCloud - we've been working on this for some time"

7.15pm iOS5 out in 'the Fall'. That's Autumn, to us Europeans. And now Steve Jobs is back on stage.

7.18pm So a message from an iPad to an iPhone, or vice versa. And you can also wirelessly stream whatever's on your phone or ipad to a tv...

Fontella Bass – Rescue Me (1965) | 2.123informacje.info

PLEASE NOTE: I divided my uploads between multiple channels, Bookmark this link in your browser for instant access to an index with links to all of John1948′s oldies classics. LINK: tinyurl.com The 1965 classic „Rescue Me” is widely regarded as the greatest record Aretha Franklin never made. The song in question was instead cut by singer Fontella Bass, who like Franklin channeled the power and passion of her gospel roots to create some of the finest music of soul’s golden age. Born in St. Louis on July 3, 1940, Bass was the daughter of gospel vocalist Martha Bass, a longtime member of the renowned Clara Ward Singers. Her grandmother Navada Carter was also a professional gospel performer, and it was inevitable that Fontella follow suit, making her church choir debut at age five. Nevertheless, during the mid-’50s she rebelled against tradition, sneaking out of the house to sing secular R&B at local fairs and nightclubs. By 16, Bass was the house pianist at the St. Louis nightspot the Showbar, and in 1961 she joined local blues great Little Milton Campbell, later marrying the band’s trumpeter, fledgling jazz titan Lester Bowie. Bass first earned notice for her vocal on Little Milton’s 1962 hit „So Mean to Me,” soon followed by her Bobbin label solo debut, „I Don’t Hurt Anymore.” But when Campbell and his pianist Oliver Sain parted ways, Bass exited along with Sain, who named her lead vocalist of his Oliver Sain Soul Revue. Her second single, the Ike Turner-produced „I Love …

@MyRealtalktv Yes, that would surprise me. In the USA all areas of our culture are much more integrated than when I was a child in the 1950s. I’m not foolish enough to believe that racism is no longer with us but it is much less severe than it was and remedies are much more available when racism does rear its ugly head. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 may have been the greatest peice of legislation passed in my lifetime.

@John1948Five Gospel was not blues at all. Blues is Gospel with the lyrics converted to mainstream. For black people in America and even the Carribean the church was the only place safe for them to congregate as a community most of the time! it was the heart of the community and where everything happened women even gave birth there because they were not allowed in the hospitals.
