El clarinetista Acker Bilk ejecuta esta genial pieza musical llamada 'Stranger On The Shore', lanzada inicialmente como sencillo en 1961. Esta joya musical fue compuesta por este clarinetista inglés, cuyo verdadero nombre es Bernard Stanley Bilk, Miembro del Imperio Británico (MBE). Nació el 28 de enero de 1929 en Pensford, Somerset. Se le distingue fácilmente por llevar la barba en perilla, bombín, chaleco a rayas y su estilo de bajo registro, entrecortado y rico en vibrato al tocar el clarinete. Acker Bilk escribió esta pieza musical en honor a su hija, por lo que al principio la canción se tituló "Jenny". Posteriormente se utilizó como tema musical de una serie dramática de televisión de la BBC para jóvenes que también recibió el nombre de "Stranger On The Shore". Esta pista, ejecutada por Bilk (le llamaban "Mr. Acker Bilk") junto con la Leon Young String Chorale, fue lanzada como sencillo en Columbia Records DB 4750 en octubre de 1961, afirmando abiertamente que se trataba del "Tema de la Serie de televisión de la BBC". En el lado B estaba "Take My Lips". El sencillo se convirtió en un éxito fenomenal, encabezando las principales listas del Reino Unido, convirtiéndose además en uno de los sencillos lanzados en el Reino Unido de mayor éxito en ventas de toda la historia. Leon Edward Stephen Young fue un arreglista y director de orquesta (1916-1991), a quien se conoce también por el alias de Gil Adams.. + Informações

"Stranger on the Shore" is a piece for clarinet written by Acker Bilk for his young daughter and originally named Jenny after her[1]. It was subsequently used as the theme tune of a BBC TV drama serial for young people that was also called Stranger on the Shore.[2] The track, performed by Bilk (as "Mr. Acker Bilk") with backing by the Leon Young String Chorale, was released as a single on Columbia Records DB 4750 in October 1961, with the label of the single openly proclaiming "Theme from the BBC TV. Series". The B-side was "Take My Lips". The single became a phenomenal success, topping the NME singles chart and spending nearly a year on the Record Retailer Top 50. It was the UK's biggest-selling single of 1962[3], the biggest-selling instrumental single of all time, and appears fifty-eighth in the official UK list of best-selling singles issued in 2002. On May 26, 1962, "Stranger on the Shore" became the first British recording to reach number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 where it was issued by Atlantic Records on the Atco label, but it was quickly followed, on December 22, by The Tornados' "Telstar", another instrumental. In the pre-rock era, Vera Lynn's "Auf Wiederseh'n Sweetheart" had reached #1 in 1952, on the shorter "Best Sellers In Stores" survey. After "Telstar", the next British performers to top the US charts were The Beatles, with their first Capitol Records single "I Want to Hold Your Hand".

Interpret: Ralf Buchmüller Composed: Bilk Mellin Mister Acker Bilk Record: Audacity Bernard Stanley Bilk (* 28. Januar 1929 in Pensford, Somerset, England), bekannt unter dem Namen Mr Acker Bilk, ist ein englischer Jazzklarinettist. Bilks Vater war Prediger und seine Mutter Organistin, so dass er schon in der Jugend musikalisch vorgeprägt war. Zur Klarinette kam er aber erst durch seine Militärzeit, unfreiwillig. Weil er nämlich während seiner Dienstzeit 1947 in Ägypten auf Wache eingeschlafen war, musste er drei Monate in den Bau und brachte sich dort selbst zum Zeitvertreib das Klarinettespielen bei. Nach seiner Entlassung wurde er zunächst Schmied, kam aber schnell wieder zurück zur Musik und war bereits Mitte der 50er Mitglied der Ken Colyer Group. 1958 gründete er mit der Paramount Jazz Band seine eigene Band. Markenzeichen waren Melone und Ziegenbart sowie die gestreiften Jazz-Westen der ganzen Band. Sein Spitzname Acker kommt von einem südenglischen Dialektausdruck für "Freund" oder "Kumpel". Mit den Paramounts tourte er sowohl durch England als auch durch Deutschland und konnte 1960 in beiden Ländern mit dem Instrumentaltitel Summer Set seinen ersten Charterfolg feiern. Ein weiterer Erfolgstitel war das Instrumentalstück Petite Fleur, komponiert von Sidney Bechet. Ein weiteres Lied, das er nach seiner Tochter Jenny benannt hatte, wurde im Jahr darauf für die Kinder-Fernsehserie Stranger on the Shore ausgewählt.

www.crizz.co.uk Aria is a song made famous by Acker Bilk. Bernard Stanley "Acker" Bilk MBE (born 28 January 1929) is an English clarinetist. He is known for his trademark goatee, bowler hat, striped waistcoat and his breathy, vibrato-rich, lower-register clarinet style. He is also known for writing and performing "Stranger on the Shore" for a British television serial series. It was recorded as the title track of a new album in which his signature deep, quivering clarinet was backed by the Leon Young String Chorale. The single was not only a big hit in the United Kingdom, where it stayed on the charts for a remarkable 55 weeks, gaining a second wind after Bilk was the subject of the TV show This Is Your Life, but also shot to the top of the American charts at a time when the American pop charts and radio playlists were open to just about anything in just about any style.

Entgegen landläufiger Meinung ist La Paloma kein Volkslied oder Traditional im herkömmlichen Sinn, es hat mit Sebastián de Yradier (* Alava, Spanien, 1809--1865) einen Komponisten. Vermutlich wurde das Lied um 1863 im Teatro Nacional de Mexico zum ersten Mal gesungen. Zuhörer war auch Kaiser Maximilian I. Die Geschichte von seinem letzten Wunsch, vor seiner standrechtlichen Erschießung noch einmal La Paloma zu hören, gehört ins Reich der Sagen. Wahrscheinlicher ist jedoch, dass La Paloma bei der Ausschiffung seines Sarges in Miramare gespielt wurde und die anwesenden Marine-Offiziere beschlossen, dass La Paloma nie mehr auf einem österreichischen Kriegsschiff gespielt werden dürfe. Diese Tradition wird auch heute noch von österreichischen Seglern hochgehalten. Im Englischen wurde es auch unter den Titeln No More und Your Love Elvis Presley von Connie Francis sowie vielen anderen interpretiert. Presley singt das Stück unter anderem im Musikfilm Blue Hawaii von 1961. Das Album zum Film belegte 20 Wochen die Nummer eins der US-Charts. Billy Vaughn belegte mit einer Instrumentalversion 1958 Platz 20 der Singles-Charts. Das Lied in Deutschland [Bearbeiten] Die eingängigen Zeilen ?Mich rief es an Bord, es wehte ein frischer Wind" stammen vom Mainzer Musikdirektor Heinrich Rupp (1838--1917), der sich auf den ?La Paloma"-Text des Franzosen Joseph Tagliafico (1821--1900) stützte.

La Paloma (spanisch ?Die Taube") ist ein Lied, das zu den am meisten gesungenen, interpretierten, arrangierten und auf Tonträgern festgehaltenen Musikstücken gehört. Es ist in verschiedensten Sprachvarianten zum Welthit geworden. La Paloma, eine Habanera, ist eng mit der Geschichte der Tonträger verbunden, und so gibt es Aufnahmen aus aller Welt. Die älteste dürfte um 1880[1] entstanden sein. In Deutschland wurde das Lied 1944 von Hans Albers popularisiert und sowohl Billy Vaughn, 1958 mit einer Instrumentalversion, als auch Freddy Quinn, 1961, erklommen damit die Nummer eins der Hitparade.[2] Mireille Mathieu führte die 1973 die Version La Paloma adieu auf den ersten Platz.
