Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run narra la asombrosa, casi improbable, historia de Paul McCartney y su recien formada banda desde 1971 hasta su disolucion apenas una decada despues. Basada en mas de horas y horas de entrevistas con McCartney, musicos clave y familiares, Wings relata conmovedoramente, con la sabiduria de medio siglo a sus espaldas, la historia de un hombre y musico que lidio con las consecuencias de la separacion de los Beatles, y al que pronto se unieron su esposa la fotografa estadounidense Linda McCartney en los teclados y la voz, el bateria Denny Seiwell y el guitarrista Denny Laine, entre otros musicos que pasaron por el grupo.Organizada en torno a los nueve albumes de los Wings, la narracion sigue a la aventurera banda mientras sobreviven a un robo en las calles de Nigeria, aparecen sin previo aviso en varias residencias universitarias, realizan giras en un destartalado autobus de dos pisos con sus hijos, todo ello, mientras producen algunos de los temas mas perdurables de la decada. Con 150 fotografias en blanco y negro y un cuadernillo a color, muchas de ellas ineditas, esta es una gran obra emblematica de una originalidad deslumbrante sobre una extraordinaria banda, de la que hay mucho que contar.

A must-read for anyone moved by the power of song - Lesley Garrett, CBESinging has always been there for us, at the root of what it is to be a human being. Through personal anecdote and scientific fact-finding, this book celebrates the way song inspires and heals us, from the cradle to the grave, and in the process does for singing what The Well-Gardened Mind did for nature, and what Why We Eat did for our diets.As a singing therapist, teacher and performer, Julia Hollander is in a unique position to consider singings importance to our wellbeing, charting its extraordinary influence on all aspects of our spiritual, emotional and physical lives. Why do parents feel compelled to sing to their newborns, and how does it help their development? What is it about song that brings communities together in harmony but also in protest? How come an activity that helps to embed languages and maths formulae can also be used to rehabilitate Long Covid sufferers? And what magic is at work when people who have lost the power to speak are still able to sing?By delving into her own life experiences, and calling on those of her fellow singers, the author seeks to answer these questions, underpinning her findings with the latest scientific research.In so many walks of life, people of all ages and backgrounds are waking up to the joys of singing, its power to give hope and connection in a fragmented world. Song-making is available in an increasingly broad range of social and therapeutic contexts, prescribed by doctors and community services. This book offers explanations for why this should be, and inspiration to anyone who loves to sing.

At the same time, the uplifting harmonies and sunny lyrics that propelled Karen Carpenter and her brother, Richard, to international fame belied a different sort of tragedy - the underconsumption that led to Karens death at age thirty-two from the effects of an eating disorder.In Why Karen Carpenter Matters, Karen Tongson (whose parents named her after the pop icon) interweaves the story of the singers rise to fame in the 1960s and 70s with her own trans-Pacific journey between the Philippines - where imitations of American pop styles flourished - and Karen Carpenters home ground of Southern California.
