Peter Cupples performs a Tribute to
Australian Rock Bank 'Goanna' With Solid
Rock. Produced and presented by Alessandro
Sorbello http://www.alessandrosorbello.com
Peter Cupples http://www.pertercupples.com
performed this track to a small group of
friends in Brisbane Australia in October
2007.
About Goanna - Goanna is an Australian
folk-rock band, notable in integrating social
protest with popular music.
Formed by singer-songwriter Shane Howard in
the late 1970s, they produced three full
albums, and a very rare four song EP record.
The original name of the band was "The Goanna
Band", which was the name used on the EP
release in 1979. However, the original name
was soon shortened to simply "Goanna" by the
time that the album Spirit of Place was
released in the early 1980s. They were signed
to WEA Australia.
Goanna's début album Spirit of Place won the
ARIA Best Album of the Year for 1982, with
their first major hit, "Solid Rock", winning
Best Single of the Year. This song touched on
the displacement of aboriginal tribes by the
encroaching European settlers. It became a
worldwide hit, and was the first rock record
to feature extensive use of an Australian
didgeridoo, one of the world's oldest wood
instruments. Goanna also recorded "Let the
Franklin Flow", a song about the ecological
damage to be caused by damming Tasmania's
Franklin River for hydroelectricity, and
"Sorry", a song about Australia's "stolen
generation" of aborigines.
Shane Howard and his bandmates, including
sister Marcia Howard and friend Rose Bygrave,
have all recorded solo projects in addition
to their time in Goanna.
The members of the group do not rule out
future Goanna recordings and have never
officially disbanded. The 1998 album "Spirit
Returns" is reportedly a result of the
group's members desire to "get together"
again and make a musical statement.
A special thank you to my friend Erik
Johansen (Tape8) who edited Peters

Solid Rock Lyrics by Goanna
Out here nothin' changes
Not in a hurry anyway
You can feel the endlessness
With the comin' of the light 'o day
You're talkin' bout a chosen place
You wanna sell it in a marketplace
Well
Well just a minute now
You're standin' on
Solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line
Right down the line
Well round about the dawn of time
The Dreaming all began
A crowd of people came
Well they were lookin' for their promised
land
We're runnin' from the heart of darkness
Searchin' for the heart of light
It was their paradise
Well they were standin' on
Solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Were blowin' cold that night
Well they were standin' on the shore one day
Saw the white sails in the sun
Wasn't long before they felt the sting
White man, white law, white gun
Don't tell me that it's justified
Cause somewhere
Someone lied
Yeah, well someone lied
Someone lied
Genocide
Well someone lied
And now you're standin' on
Solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line
Solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line
Solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line
No!

| Peter Cupples performs 'Fly me To The Moon' @ Italian Week |
 |
Peter Cupples performs for Italian Week 2008
produced by Alessandro Sorbello
http://www.alessandrosorbello.com Italian
Week is an initiative of the Italian
Consulate in Brisbane and is the Official
Italian Festival in Brisbane
http://www.italianweek.com.au
Peter Cupples http://www.petercupples.com
from his Fly Me To The Moon album with his
song You dont know me
"Fly Me to the Moon" is a pop standard song
written by Bart Howard in 1954. When
introduced by Felicia Sanders on the cabaret
circuit, it was originally titled "In Other
Words". The song became popularly called "Fly
Me to the Moon" from its first line, but it
took a few years for the publishers to change
the title officially.
It was first recorded in 1954 by Kaye
Ballard, and released by Decca Records as
catalog number 29114. In 1956 it was recorded
by Portia Nelson for her album, Let Me Love
You. The same year, Johnny Mathis recorded
the song, this was the first time the title
"Fly Me to the Moon" appeared on a record
label.
The original singer of "Fly Me to the Moon",
Felicia Sanders, recorded the song in 1959.
It was released on Decca Records as catalog
number 30937.
In late 1961 Nat King Cole recorded the song
for the album "Nat King Cole Sings/George
Shearing Plays" and was released on Capitol
Records, catalog #1675.
In 1962, an instrumental version was recorded
as "Fly Me to the Moon Bossa Nova" by Joe
Harnell, which became the biggest chart hit
version of the song, reaching #14 (#4 easy
listening) on the U.S. pop singles charts.
An original arrangement (by Ernie Freeman) is
found in Julie London's 1963 album "The End
of the World", with a different intro than
usual, a jazz pizzicato instrumental break
and lustrous flowing piano accompaniment. In
1964 Doris Day recorded the song for her
highly acclaimed album Latin for lovers.
Quincy Jones presents platinum copies of "Fly
Me to the Moon" to Senator John Glenn and
Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong.
Frank Sinatra recorded the song on his 1964
album It Might as Well Be Swing accompanied
by Count Basie. The arrangement by Quincy
Jones has become the rendition by which most
people recognise the song. Jones changed the
time signature, which was originally 3/4
waltz-time, to 4/4 and gave it a 'swing'
feel. Sinatra's recording was a hit and was
played to the astronauts of Apollo 10, on
their lunar mission. [1] Sinatra also
performed the song with Basie on 1966's
Sinatra at the Sands, and on 1994's Duets II,
his final recording of "Fly Me to the Moon"
and his final collaboration with Antonio
Carlos Jobim. He also performed this song in
1969 TV-show "Sinatra", there he dedicated it
to the Apollo astronauts "who made the
impossible possible".
The following year Tony Bennett recorded the
song and had a minor hit with it. In
subsequent years through the 2000s, he has
often performed the song in concert without
using any amplification or sound system.
Oscar Peterson recorded the song on his album
Tristeza on Piano in 1970 which sort of
imitated Count Basie and his band. The track
had to be deleted on the Three Originals
compilation because there was not enough room
for it to fit.
The song also became an international best
seller after Connie Francis had recorded it
on September 28, 1962 in Italian and on
February 25, 1963 in Neapolitan (both
versions were released under the title
Portami con te). A Spanish version was
recorded on February 21, 1963 under the title
Llévame a la luna, although this recording
was also released under the title Mandame a
la luna. The song is popular in Germany and
has been recorded by Tom Gaebel on his album
The Unknown (2003) and by Roger Cicero as
"Schiess mich doch zum Mond" on his album
Männersachen (2006). These weren't the first
recordings by German artists, though. Already
in 1965, the song had been recorded by Heidi
Brühl, a German singer/actress who later
went to the US to host her own Las Vegas
Shows and to appear on television shows such
as Marcus Welby, M. D., and Columbo.
The song reached a new generation when it was
used during the opening titles of Oliver
Stone's 1987 film Wall Street and is included
on the Tribute album of Westlife, Allow Us to
Be Frank. It also appears in the closing
moments and over the end titles of Clint
Eastwood's 2000 film Space Cowboys.

Peter Cupples http://www.petercupples.com
from his About Time album with his song You
dont know me
"You Don't Know Me" is a song written by
Cindy Walker and Eddy Arnold in 1955 and
recorded by Arnold that year. The first
version of the song to make the Billboard
charts was by Jerry Vale in 1956, peaking at
#14 on the pop chart. Arnold's version
followed two months later and went to #10 on
the country chart. Cashbox magazine, which
combined all best-selling versions at one
position, included a version by Carmen McRae
that never appeared in the Billboard Top 100
Sides listing.
The best-selling version of the song is by
Ray Charles, who took it to #2 on the
Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1962. This version
also topped the "Easy listening" chart for
three weeks in 1962. The song later became a
#1 country hit for Mickey Gilley in 1981.
The song has been performed or recorded by
hundreds of artists, including Elvis Presley,
Bob Dylan, and Willie Nelson. Charles
re-recorded the song with Diana Krall on his
album of duets, Genius Loves Company and it
was sung by Meryl Streep in the 1990 movie
Postcards from the Edge, and by John Legend
in an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

| Summer Breeze - Seals and Crofts tribute by Peter Cupples |
 |
Peter Cupples performs a cover of the Seals
and Crofts Summer Breeze. Produced and
presented by Alessandro Sorbello
http://www.alessandrosorbello.com Peter
Cupples http://www.pertercupples.com
performed this track to a small group of
friends in Brisbane Australia in October
2007.
About Seals and Crofts
Jimmy Seals and Dash Crofts are two musicians
from Texas who were immensely popular in the
1970's, and still honored today for their
hits Summer Breeze, Hummingbird, Diamond
Girl, We May Never Pass This Way Again and
Get Closer. Their unique pop/rock sound was
made famous by their incredible vocal
harmony, songwriting and musicianship. Their
music was also distinctive for their
spiritual lyrics and themes, inspired by the
teachings of the Bahá'à faith.
Although no true reunion is planned, Seals &
Crofts recorded their first album together in
over 20 years in 2004, entitled TRACES. The
album features new versions of several hits
from the 1970's, plus some newer tunes! S & C
are in fine voice. Included are a total
rearrangement of the hits, such as Get Closer
(with Dash's daughter Lua and Jimmy's
daughter Juliet). Some updated album cuts are
added, such as Not Be Found and Euphrates.
Another highlight is the previously
unreleased "Change the Copper Into Gold"
(inspired by the spiritual odyssey of Dorothy
Baker), a mesmerizing song that ranks among
Jimmy's best. A newer song also penned by
Jimmy, "North Light," has been retitled and
released as "Paint You." The album does not
include the song "Traces," which was Jimmy's
recounting of the ten Bahá'à women executed
during the Iranian persecutions in the
1980's. That song was released in 1987 on a
rare Bahá'à album, called Jewel In the
Lotus. The album does, however, include a
version of "Love Takes No Prisoners," which
first appeared on Louie Shelton's cd, Hot &
Spicy
Seals and Crofts are Jim Seals (born James
Seals, 17 October 1941, Sidney, Texas) and
Dash Crofts (born Darrell Crofts, 14 August
1940, Cisco, Texas), a popular soft rock duo
in the early 1970s, best-known for their hits
"Summer Breeze" and "Diamond Girl." They were
also the most famous Bahá'Ãs of 1970s in
the United States.
According to Billboard ratings, SUMMER BREEZE
was ranked #2 among all albums charted during
1973. Number 1, a surprise in retrospect, was
War's THE WORLD IS A GHETTO. An unreleased
song from the SUMMER BREEZE recording
sessions in July of 1972 was "Greying Eyes of
Time."

| Pioneers - Peter Cupples |
 |
Produced and presented by Alessandro Sorbello
http://www.alessandrosorbello.com Peter
Cupples performs a series of songs to a small
group of friends in Brisbane Australia in
October 2007. A unique opportunity to hear
one of Australia's best Singer/songwriters.
Peter Cupples from the album bac2basix
http://www.pertercupples.com
Peter Cupples led the band Stylus, one of
Australia's best-known acts, in the 1970s
when pop/rock groups Sherbert, ACDC and Cold
Chisel dominated. Stylus combined a soul and
funk sound with rich harmonies. Eventually
the group signed for American giant Tamla
Motown, the first white group to sign for the
label. Hits included "Summer Breeze" and
"World Of Make Believe". During the 80s,
Peter led The Peter Cupples Band which made
two albums and has since maintained a
significant presence in the industry.
This album was recorded in early 2000 but it
was shelved because Peter wasn't happy with
it. Eventually, after some perspective, Peter
did release it and suggests that, as an
analogue recording in a digital world, it has
a unique charm.
Previous recordings include "The Best Of The
Best" (2001) "Home Grown" (2001), "Sacred
Heart"(1999), and "Changes"(1994).

| Living in A World Of Make Believe - Peter Cupples |
 |
Produced and presented by Alessandro Sorbello
http://www.alessandrosorbello.com Peter
Cupples performs a series of songs to a small
group of friends in Brisbane Australia in
October 2007. A unique opportunity to hear
one of Australia's best Singer/songwriters in
an intimate atmosphere.
Peter Cupples http://www.pertercupples.com
has produced numerous albums over his
extensive career, a brief summary of his time
with Stylus and a recount of his experience
in his own words follow.
Peter Cupples formed the Masons Cure which
later grew into Stylus. With great hits such
as "Summer Breeze", "Living in a world of
make believe" Stylus were destined to move on
to greater things. With the release of their
next album ("For the Love of music") the band
found interest in America from Motown
records. It was a great honour and thrill for
the band to be the first all white band with
Motown, and for Peter Cupples being the lead
singer and songwriter it was pretty special.
Jeff really believed in Stylus and he managed
to help us gain a record contract and some
commercial attention. We had been playing
"Summer Breeze" back in the Masons Cure stage
and it became our signature tune. We often
had to play the song 2 or 3 times in one show
to satisfy the audience. Our version of the
Seals and Croft classic became our first
Top10 hit.
We made our first performance on Countdown -
an incredible experience for a young group of
guys from the bush. We really were "Living in
a world of make believe" when we went into
the studio to record that track.
Around this time we hooked up with the
management of Glenn Wheatley and his brother
Paul. Glenn worked Stylus along with his
other project, a group of guys called the
Little River Band. At one Music industry
conference they managed to sign LRB to
Capital, and Stylus to Motown. Not a bad
weeks work.
We followed this up with our third album,
Best Kept Secret. This album was released
locally on Oz Records and in the United
States, under the banner of the world's most
respected Soul label Motown. The Motown
subsidiary, Prodigal, carried the Stylus name
to the world's biggest market behind the
disguise of a mask. We were pretty excited
with being signed to such a prestige label
but, as things turned out, we were the last
act to be published on Prodigal, and the
American market never found out that there
were five white Aussie guys hiding behind the
mask. It did, however, leave us with the
legacy of a great story to tell future
generations...
Our fourth and final album was Part Of It
All. Again this is a nice recording. With the
promise of the Motown emergence still ever
present in our enthusiasm, we worked hard to
produce a top quality record. Unfortunately,
it ended up being the finale to a great part
of my life.
Stylus was very different to the other bands
of the time in many ways. Not only musically
different, but also culturally different. We
were friends and family, and remain so to
this day. Our reunion concerts move the
audience because there is still magic between
us that time has not eroded. Our recent
reunion at Capers (see current projects),
proved to our loyal fans that we still have
the ability to create something special when
we do get together.
In the same way that we came together as
friends ,we parted as friends. There was no
definitive rock and roll type split, no
arguments over musical direction, no tensions
within the band, no religious differences or
bad karma... We were just all very tired from
the touring. We had been on the road for 50
weeks a year for over 5 years, and it was
wearing us down.
Quite naturally we all started working on
different projects, some still working with
each other, but the band that was known as
Stylus, that had been such a wonderful era in
all of our lives ceased to exist. In the end
it was wonderful to have been..."A part of it
all"...

Produced and presented by Alessandro Sorbello
http://www.alessandrosorbello.com Peter
Cupples performs a Tribute to Frank Sinatra
with 'Fly Me To The Moon"
Peter Cupples http://www.pertercupples.com
performed this track to a small group of
friends in Brisbane Australia in October
2007. Peter opened for Frank Sinatra when in
1988 Sanctuary Cove Resort Opened, the first
gated tourism and residential precinct in
Australia. Frank Sinatra, Peter Allen, and
Whitney Houston sang at the complex's lavish
opening in 1988, an event that placed it
squarely on the map.
One of Australia's leading singer songwriters
Peter Cupples was the lead singer of the 70's
hit band Stylus.
Fly Me to the Moon" is a pop standard song
written in 1954 by Bart Howard. When
introduced by Felicia Sanders on the cabaret
circuit, it was originally titled "In Other
Words". The song became popularly called "Fly
Me to the Moon" from its first line, but it
took a few years for the publishers to change
the title officially.
It was first recorded in 1954 by Kaye Ballard
(of the television show The Mothers-in-Law).
Ballard's 1954 version was released by Decca
Records as catalog number 29114. In 1956 it
was recorded by Portia Nelson for her album,
Let Me Love You. The same year, Johnny Mathis
recorded the song, the first time the title
"Fly Me to the Moon" appeared on a record
label.
Felicia Sanders, the original singer of the
song (best known for her vocal on the Percy
Faith Orchestra's "Song From Moulin Rouge
(Where Is Your Heart)"), finally got around
to recording the song in 1959. It was
released on Decca Records as catalog number
30937.
In 1962, an instrumental version was recorded
as "Fly Me to the Moon -- Bossa Nova" by Joe
Harnell, which became the biggest chart hit
version of the song, reaching #14 on the U.S.
pop singles charts.
Frank Sinatra recorded the song in 1964 on
his It Might as Well Be Swing collaboration
with Count Basie, and this became the
rendition that many people identified the
song with.
Tony Bennett recorded the song in 1965 and
had a minor hit with it. In subsequent years
through the 2000s, he often performed the
song in concert without using any
amplification or sound system.
It has also been performed by Paul Anka,
Shirley Bassey, Nat King Cole, Perry Como,
Bobby Darin, Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy
Garland, Groove Armada, Joni James, Jack
Jones, Julie London, Bobby Womack, Al Hirt,
Diana Krall, Mabel Mercer (1960), Wes
Montgomery, Anita O'Day, KT Sullivan (1997),
Sarah Vaughn, Tom Jones, the Irish boyband
Westlife, Nancy Wilson (1959), Matt Dusk,
Agnetha Fältskog, Paul Gilbert, Claire
Littley (the original ending theme of the
anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion), Utada
Hikaru, Astrud Gilberto, hellogoodbye, Ray
Quinn, Dinah Washington, Oscar Peterson,
Charlie Haden, Michael Bolton, Paula Toller
and many others.
In film, "Fly Me to the Moon" was used as the
theme song of Oliver Stone's Wall Street
(1987), under the last frames of Clint
Eastwood's Space Cowboys (2000) (in Sinatra's
version), and was performed by Jay Mohr in
Eddie Murphy's The Adventures of Pluto Nash.
It is also the main song of the 1991 film
"Once Around", starring Richard Dreyfuss,
Holly Hunter and Danny Aiello, who also
performs a rendition during the wedding
scene.
Thomas Anders (of Modern Talking fame)
recorded his version in 1997 on the album
Live Concert.
The song is also the ending theme of the
anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion, in
several remixed versions and performed by
multiple people, most notably the famous
Japanese seiyū Megumi Hayashibara and Yuko
Miyamura (all in English). The song has been
remixed again and sung by Utada Hikaru for
the trailer of the first movie in the Rebuild
of Evangelion series of films, You Are (Not)
Alone.
In episode 369 of the The Simpsons, "The
Seemingly Never-Ending Story", "Fly Me to the
Moon" is played during Moe and Edna's love
montage, and Moe later refers to it as their
song.
On American Idol season 6, Top 20 contestant,
Nick Pedro sang a rendition of "Fly Me To The
Moon" at his audition in New York.
In the series finale of 3rd Rock From the
Sun, Elvis Costello sang "Fly Me to the Moon"
at a farewell party the aliens threw for
themselves.
Versions of song by Frank Sinatra and Felicia
Sanders were played simultaneously in Down
With Love as Barbara (Renée Zellweger) and
Zip (Ewan McGregor) got ready for their date
with each other.
