Album Cover Hall of Fame News Update and Link Summary for November, 2023

Here's the summary of everything I could find in the world about album cover art and the people that make it and promote it. Enjoy and please share with friends and family.

Posted sometime November 1, 2023 by Mike Goldstein, AlbumCoverHallofFame.com Hello to all – this month’s summary will be a brief one as I was out on a road trip most of the month and, therefore, have not been able to devote a lot of time to the gathering and sharing of album art/artist-related information. With that said, while I was gone, the work done by these talented individuals continued…

FOR GOODNESS SAKE

1922

For Goodness Sake is a musical by Fred Jackson (book) with music by William Daly and Paul Lannin, and lyrics by Arthur Jackson. It featured additional music by George Gershwin with lyrics by Arthur Francis (aka Ira Gershwin). 

The story takes place on the verandah of a home on Lake Content, New York. The limited plot involves rich singles who try to find love while stopping a rich engaged couple from flirting. Oh, and a guy wants to break the record for flying across the Atlantic.  

The original production was produced by Alex A. Aarons, staged by Priestly Morrison, with musical staging by Allan K. Foster and additional staging by Julian Alfred. The show starred Vinton Freedley, John Hazzard, with Fred and Adele Astaire (above). 

Before Broadway, For Goodness Sake played a week at the Globe Theatre on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City. 

It opened on Broadway at the Lyric Theatre on February 21, 1922 and played 103 performances.

"An agreeable if not brilliant musical comedy.” ~ THE NEW YORK TIMES

"Adele and I, with the help of Allan Foster, the dance director, worked out some useful dance specialties. It was around this time that I started to take hold at creating and choreographing our dances." ~ Fred Astaire, 1923

This was as close to being a Gershwin musical without being a full-fledged Gershwin musical as musicals get. Daly and Lannin were colleagues of the Gershwins and they wrote in ‘Gershwin style’. George and Ira themselves wrote two songs for the score: “Someone” and “Tra-La-La”.  

“Someone” should not be confused with the Gershwins far more popular song “Someone to Watch Over Me” which became a standard. One Daly / Lannin song was particularly Gershwin-esque: “The Whichness of the Whatness.” 

After Broadway, the show a twelve-week sit-down at the Garrick Theatre in Chicago with the original cast, including Fred and Adele. Meanwhile, producer Charles Dillingham beckoned the brother and sister team to Atlantic City. 

The show that Dillingham wanted to chat about was The Bunch and Judy, which opened in November 1922 starring the Astaires. It was a failure and their last collaboration with Dillingham.  

In August 1922, after their jaunt to AC, the Astaires departed for London, while For Goodness Sake left the Windy City for a tour of the hinterlands. 

For Goodness Sake played in London’s Shaftesbury Theatre under the title Stop Flirting. It played four times as long in London, clocking in with 418 performances, although Fred and Astaire returned sooner to fulfill their contract with Dillingham. For London, the Gershwin hit “Stairway To Paradise” (originally from the George White Scandals of 1922) was added to the score. Also new was Gershwin’s “The Best of Everything”, a song written for 1919′s La La Lucille, now with new lyrics. 

Sources say that “Tra-la-la (This Time It's Really Love)” was written for, but never performed in, For Goodness Sake, so it was later interpolated into the 1951 Gershwin film An American in Paris (above), which also included “Stairway to Paradise”.

In 1971, the off-Broadway Gershwin revue Do It Again! at the Promenade featured Margaret Whiting and Clifton Davis included “Stairway to Paradise”.  The revue lasted just fourteen performances. “Stairway” was also heard in the 1992 Broadway musical Crazy For You, although only as a musical theme, not the lyrics. 

For Goodness Sake (using the American title, but also with “Stairway”) was brought back to life as a staged reading by Musicals Tonight at the Lion Theatre in New York City in 2014.

Animation Figures that I Think Should Be Considered for a Winsor McCay Award

Exactly what it says on the title. For those who don’t know, it’s a lifetime award given by the Annie Awards, which are high-honor accolades dedicated to celebrating excellence in animation. In case of this, the award is for an individual’s lifetime / career contributions to the medium of animation.

Summary:  “Life can be unfair, Robert. That’s just life though, innit?” Aaron said, matter-of-fact, a kind smile on his face. “But…sometimes it can be good too. It can give you things you weren’t even looking for.”

Bobby Vinton  :  Blue Moon

Note: I couldn’t find a suitable lyric video, so I’m using this instead.  This clip is the opening scene from the movie ‘An American Werewolf in London’.  *warning for the end of the vid.

I absolutely loved this Big Bang fic from @dvswraatins.  If this was a movie, it would be the perfect rom-com with just the right amount of heart and fuzzy feels.  100% satisfaction guaranteed!

~~~

Blurred vision showed him a dark figure standing where the animal had been. It was a man, pale-skinned with a scruffy beard. There was a bright glow in his eyes, like twin moons. Robert lethargically turned his head side-to-side to seek out the animal but it was nowhere in sight. There was just this silent man, watching him, inching closer until he was leaning over Robert. Robert blinked up into those twin moons, his hand coming up to grab the man by his jacket, to see if he was real.

The stranger lurched forward and a howl filled Robert’s ears, followed by a growl, everything turning black.

Blue moon You saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own Blue moon You knew just what I was there for You heard me saying a prayer for Someone I really could care for And then they suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms will ever hold I heard somebody whisper ‘please adore me’ And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold Blue moon Now I’m no longer alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own

FUNNY FACE

1927

Funny Face is a 1927 musical composed by George Gershwin, with lyrics by Ira Gershwin, and book by Fred Thompson and Paul Gerard Smith. It starred Fred Astaire and his sister Adele. 

It was in this show that Astaire first danced in evening clothes and a top hat.

The show has the distinction of not only being partly set in Atlantic City, but also trying out there as well. 

THE STORY: Jimmy Reeve is the legal guardian of three pretty sisters, Dora, June and Frankie, whose prize belongings he keeps in his safe. June's pearl necklace is locked in there, and so is Frankie's diary, after having been confiscated by Jimmy. However, the diary contains very incriminating things, so Frankie convinces the aviator Peter Thurston to steal it from the safe. But somehow he manages to steal the pearls instead, setting off a merry chase that takes the cast to Atlantic City. 

The score includes such Gershwin classics as “’S Wonderful”, “He Loves and She Loves” and “What Am I Gonna Do?” 

Originally called Smarty, it first premiered in Philadelphia on October 11, 1927, to poor reviews. This led to major rewrites and caused critic-humorist Robert Benchley, who had contributed to the script, to walk out. The rewrites and changes continued as the musical moved to Washington D.C. on October 31st.

It then arrived in Atlantic City on November 7th, playing at Nixon’s Apollo Theatre for one week. 

There were still script problems and daily changes. Fred Astaire said to his sister and co-star, 

“I hate flops, and this is one. We might as well face it. This damn turkey hasn’t got a prayer.”

The show had one more stop before heading to Broadway, in Wilmington, Delaware on November 14th. By now the show had been renamed Funny Face. 

It opened on Broadway on November 22, 1927, as the first show performed in the newly-built Alvin Theatre, named for owners Alex Aarons and Vinton Freedley, who were also producers of Funny Face. It is now known as the Neil Simon Theatre. 

It became a major Broadway hit, and after 244 performances, the whole company transferred it to London, where Fred and Adele Astaire had had a successful run of Lady, Be Good! just before starting the rehearsals of Smarty in Philadelphia.

The 1957 film musical Funny Face also features Astaire, but only four songs from the 1927 show survived, now in a totally different plot. 

ATLANTIC CITY & NEW JERSEY

George Gershwin and Atlantic City were not strangers. When not there for professional reasons, he was also found there for personal ones.

“Atlantic City suits me to a ‘T’ right now and I am loathe to leave.” ~ 1919

His Pulitzer Prize-winning musical Of Thee I Sing (1931) is partly set in Atlantic City. 

Funny Face played a week of out-of-town tryouts in Atlantic City at Nixon’s Apollo Theatre. 

The plot of the musical takes us to an inn located in fictional Lake Wapatog, New Jersey, before visiting the very real seaside resort of Atlantic City. 

Book writers Thompson and Smith give the locations names that are similar to, or pun on, actual places. Lake Wapatog, for example, may be a reference to the very real Lake Hopatcong, or any number of communities with names inspired by native American tribes. 

Fred Astaire’s character, Jimmy, is said to be from Silver Brook, New Jersey. Except for a small body of water in Morris County, there is no town of Silver Brook in the Garden State. Late in Act Two of Funny Face, the Silver Brook Police Department follow Jimmy to Atlantic City. Silver Brook may be a reference to Green Brook, a real town in Somerset County NJ. 

The Paymore Hotel in Atlantic City is likely a satirical name for the Traymore Hotel. The Traymore (located at Illinois Avenue and Boardwalk) catered to an upscale clientele, and was described in 1924 as "the Taj Mahal of Atlantic City" so the pun “pay more” was apt. The hotel was demolished in 1972. 

The show is also set on the Two-Million Dollar Pier in Atlantic City, obviously a verbal swipe at the famous Million Dollar Pier (1906 to 1981).  The pier was also known as Playground Pier, and later Ocean One, a shopping complex. 

The 1983 Broadway musical My One and Only claimed to be a revival of the original musical, but contained only some of the songs and had a very different plot. It did, however, succeed in bringing Gershwin back to Atlantic City when the show was produced at the Claridge Hotel in 1985.
