The Italian Connection (part 1) - It’s Now or Never

Welcome to the first post of a series I'll call The Italian Connection. From an idea hooked-on-elvis gave me some time ago, I'll write a few posts about Elvis connections to Italy, because I'm an Italian fan who lives in the Elvis wasteland (aka Europe) and it gives me joy to write about this. You’re welcome to suggest some topics for my next Italian connections.

I first heard Elvis' "It's Now or Never" on the car radio about 3 years ago, before becoming an Elvis fan. I'm sure I had heard it before, but I wasn't conscious of it, if that makes sense. I remember thinking: "Oh, it's 'O sole mio' with English lyrics. Who sang this?". I swear I thought the car radio was broken when I saw "It's Now or Never - Elvis Presley" appearing on the screen, but then I listened better and I recognized his voice. Even as a non fan, he had the most recognizable voice of all singers. I just didn't know that he sang this kind of songs, as I mostly knew him for the rock 'n roll classics and a few ballads.

It's kind of surprising to me that “It’s Now or Never”, recorded in April 1960, is actually Elvis' best-selling song and it's among the top ten best-selling physical singles of all time, with 20 million copies sold. It's ranked at #7, together with Whitney Houston's version of "I Will Always Love You" and the charity single "We Are the World", written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Ritchie.

It is based on the classic Neapolitan song “‘O Sole Mio”, written in 1898, and to this day performed in Italy and in the rest of the world by opera singers, gondoliers and everything in between. The lyrics of the song were written by Giovanni Capurro, but the music was composed by Eduardo di Capua, perhaps while he was on tour in Odessa, a city on the Black Sea. It's a hymn to the sunshine of Naples and a love song at the same time, in the melodramatic style characteristic of traditional Neapolitan music.

"O' sole mio" is ubiquitous in Italy, it's almost like a national anthem, especially in Naples. In October of 1960, Elvis' version made it to #3 in Italy in the weekly charts, which was overwhelmingly made of Italian musica leggera (pop music). It also reached #17 in the annual chart of 1960, which is not bad at all for an American artist. I wouldn't say that Elvis' is the most famous version of the song, though, merely because "O' Sole Mio" is a favorite among opera singers, including Luciano Pavarotti, who used to sing a great version of it.

Elvis most likely knew the famous version by Italian tenor Enrico Caruso, recorded in 1916 (it was said to be a favorite record of his mother) and the version recorded by Mario Lanza, an Italian American tenor who was popular in the 1950s. Elvis shared his love for Lanza's operatic singing, displayed in successful movies like “The Great Caruso”, with a young Priscilla Beaulieu. When Elvis met her in the autumn of 1959, they must have talked about him, because he had just died, at the tender age of 38, after years of bad health and a controversial sleep diet (!). It’s possible that Elvis decided to record "It's Now or Never" in 1960 as a homage to him.

When Elvis recorded this song he was fresh out of the army and had filmed the Sinatra special the month before, in March 1960. I think it’s important to note that in 1957, Sinatra was rather skeptical about Elvis' vocal abilities. He said: "Elvis has no training at all. When he goes into something serious, a bigger kind of singing, we’ll find out if he is a singer". As we all know, Elvis had a lot of time to work on his singing while he was in the army, with the help of Charlie Hodge.

That’s probably why in 1960, eager to show off his extended vocal range with a "bigger kind of singing", Elvis decided to tackle this song. There was already a version with English lyrics, called “There’s No Tomorrow”, recorded by Tony Martin in 1949. He had dabbled with it a little bit in Germany, as proven by the home recordings that have surfaced. Nevertheless, he decided to have new lyrics written for him, as the song was in the public domain in the US.

With this choice in a way he was signaling that he intended to explore different genres, branching out from rock 'n roll in other words. As Shane Brown wrote in “Reconsider Baby” about his new vocal abilities, “the often out-of-control vibrato was successfully controlled, Elvis switched from singing with full power to barely a whisper like flipping a switch”. The Jordanaires begin the song with their layered harmonies, while a guitar cleverly imitates the sound of an Italian mandolin. Elvis sings this the way it is done in Italy, easing into the song and then building it up to a roar in the chorus.

So why did Elvis like Neapolitan music so much? According to Mark Duffett, it “allowed [him] to dramatically express assertive and passionate masculinity”. As a matter of fact, I find the dichotomy of tenderness and assertiveness that Elvis manages to express in this song, so masterfully expressed in the lyrics (“tomorrow will be too late / it’s now or never / my love won’t wait”) , a perfect fit for Elvis’ voice and personality.

Needless to say, the song was challenging to record. It took Elvis a few takes to nail the long high note at the end, as well as the right tone for it. He must have been satisfied with the result, though, because more than 10 years later, in 1972, during the Madison Square Garden press conference, he said that it was his favorite record of his. Elvis included “It’s Now or Never” in his concerts immediately after recording it (he performed it during the Pearl Harbor concert in 1961) and then again in February 1970, at the end of that engagement. In that occasion, it must have been a surprise choice, because he uncharacteristically instructs the TCB band on how to finish the song. I love this soulful version, with its gospel-like ending.

I wish Elvis had taken the time to learn the words and sung some of the original lyrics like he did with “Santa Lucia”, also a Neapolitan classic. In the 1970s, Elvis sometimes allowed one of this backup singers, Sherrill Nielsen, to sing the first verse of the Italian version, although with approximate lyrics. Goofing around like he often did, but also maybe hinting at the fact that the song was really old, in December 1976 Elvis introduced the song by saying: “Sherrill Nielsen is going to do the Italian version and I’m going to do the ancient Hindu version”. In this recording from one of Elvis' last concerts, Nielsen's singing is overindulgent to say the least and I wonder what Elvis thought of it. Can you decipher his expressions and let me know?

Bonus: One my favorite versions of “O Sole Mio”

♫ scott ♫ rachel and ♫ jeanscott. whichever ones you'd like :)

for rachel: meticulous bird - thao and the get down stay down, the song is about taking one's body back and really claiming one's individual agency/sovereignty, which really resonates w how i think of rachel.

for jeanscott! i have a couple (that i might have said before but): smoke - moddi is linked in my head to the end of the dps, and so is (i'm sorry) la traviatta act 3: parigi, o cara, specifically the 2000 luciano pavarotti version because i think kevin wada dressed jean as violetta in a drawing once and i did spend like. a month imagining a version of the dark phoenix saga where this is playing the night before they all go to fight on the moon? and now it is simply that to me bc i have never properly listened to la traviatta.

also i do have a separate playlist for jeanscott x-factor bc i think the vibes are different enough and THOSE songs include: almost blue- elvis costello and the attractions and diamond dave-the bird and the bee

Favourite time of year: definitely fall.  I love when the days are still sunny but the mornings have a bite to the air.  I love the anticipation and comfort as the leaves change and when I get to be spooky and cook for holidays.

Comfort foods: macaroni and cheese is my favorite food, and really almost any bread + cheese combo is a favorite of mine.  I will eat mac and cheese when I’m sad and need cheering up, when I’m celebrating, when it’s a Tuesday.  It’s the best food and always a comfort.

Do you collect anything: books?  I’ve got a little collection of funko pops from some of my favorite characters/people.  I certainly collect makeup like a crazy person.  And books, especially used books.  I have a snow globe collection that lives at my parents’ house and I have started getting magnets from every place I go as a a souvenir.  

Favourite drinks: wine, whiskey sour, diet Dr. Pepper

Favourite music artists: I’m just gonna list a bunch that I love... Bette Midler, Barbra Streisand, Cher, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran,ABBA, Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Trixie Mattel, Celine Dion, George Ezra, Ella Fitzgerald, Lady Gaga, Florence + the Machine, Lil Nas X, Miley Cyrus, Helen Reddy, Luciano Pavarotti, Elton John, Noah Cyrus, Blink-182, Reba McEntire, Sadie & the Hotheads

Current favourite songs: my all time favorite songs are Leaving on a Jetplane by Peter Paul & Mary and Daylight by Taylor Swift.  Songs I’ve been listening to a lot lately are Suspicious Minds by Elvis Presley, Anyone for You by George Ezra, Gold by Trixie Mattel, You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feeling by The Unrighteous Brothers (yes, I said that right, they’re a country duo cover band and I love them, and Edging by Blink-182

Favourite fics: mostly my own tbh.  There’s a few by @rahleeyah that changed my life and a couple Downton fics from @whatsabriard that I think about at least once a week.  But usually I write what I want to read and then I reread them as bedtime stories.  I’m currently making my way though Metamorphosis again, which is the longest fic I’ve ever written and I’m quite proud of it.

Favourite video games: Mario Party, Tetris, Super Mario 64, Donkey Kong Country.

I tag anyone who would like to do this and specifically @doctoraliceharvey @aboxfullofdarkness @blossom--of--snow @comepraisetheinfanta @featherpluckn @yesmadamepresident @margotgrissom @holy-ships-x-red-lips @whatsabriard

Trump 'Trolls' Liberal Taylor Swift Fans With 'Eras'-Themed T-Shirt Following Her Harris Endorsement

Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump departs a campaign event at the Central Wisconsin Airport on September 07, 2024 in Mosinee, Wisconsin.

GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump has released a new T-shirt essentially poking fun at Taylor Swift and her fans after the pop star endorsed his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.

The 2024 Trump campaign’s official account on X (Twitter) announced the lighthearted, humorous response to Swift’s decision.

“Calling all Swifties for Trump,” the Team Trump account posted, while attaching an image of the merchandise. “Get your Trump Era shirt today.”

The shirt features edited photographs of Trump in different colors, representing the former president’s different “eras” in reference to Swift’s “The Eras Tour.”

Trump is utilizing the comical marketing as a fundraising opportunity, requesting donations between $45 and $1,000 for the shirt.

“Look what you made me do,” the campaign stated above the T-shirt on the website, featuring the advertisement.

The fundraising goal for Trump’s “eras” shirt campaign has a goal of 200,000 donors, and so far, it is already well over 180,000 as of Friday morning.

Meanwhile, liberal “Swifties” outraged by Trump’s troll marketing scheme are now calling for Swift to sue the former president.

“I hope you get sued within an inch of your existence. He’s fixing to be in his unemployed little b**** era,” an X user furiously wrote in response.

“This is a disgrace of a shirt. I hope she strips Donald of everything he has for infringement,” another user added.

Swift announced her endorsement of Harris following the presidential debate, which Trump and his running mate, Senator JD Vance (R-Ohio), disregarded.

According to an Axios analysis of Trump’s music at his Florida club, he prefers to stick with a list of songs that include “Hello” by Lionel Richie, “Suspicious Minds” by Elvis, “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World” by James Brown and Luciano Pavarotti, “November Rain” by Guns N’ Roses, and “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” by the Rolling Stones, The New Republic outlet reported.

So, the former president seems to enjoy older, more timeless tunes than what modern pop music has to offer.

“I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better, if you want to know the truth. She’s a big Trump fan,” Trump stated, referencing the wife of NFL star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

“I don’t think Americans, whether they like her music or are fans of hers or not, are going to be influenced by a billionaire celebrity who I think is fundamentally disconnected from the interests and the problems of most Americans,” Vance stated in response.

This item consists of alternative lyrics for a Christmas favorite, written by feminist United Church pastor Jennifer Henry.

MARY DID YOU KNOW? Mary did you know, that your ancient words would still leap off our pages? Mary did you know, that your spirit song would echo through the ages? Did you know that your holy cry would be subversive word, that the tyrants would be trembling when they know your truth is heard? Mary did you know, that your lullaby would stir your own Child’s passion? Mary did you know, that your song inspires the work of liberation? Did you know that your Jubilee is hope within the heart of all who dream of justice, who yearn for it to start? The truth will teach, the drum will sound, healing for the pain The poor will rise, the rich will fall. Hope will live again Mary did you know, that we hear your voice for the healing of the nations? Mary did you know, your unsettling cry can help renew creation? Do you know, that we need your faith, the confidence of you, May the God that you believe in, be so true.

[tar-one]

Ça y est, il est là, mon nouveau mini projet est dehors ! 5 mini titres pour 9min26 de feu.

Prods de mon Homie de longue date @ninolucania , immense talent brut qui régale les connaisseurs de l'underground depuis Montréal où il a posé ses valises depuis quelques années. Un des 4 fantastiques de la famille @crystalcaminobeats . Du drumless, du classic Boom Bap, de la boucle, du groove, des petits sons et variantes, de la Vibe Alchemistienne ou Madlibienne, en moins de 10min il offre plus de richesse que bien des albums de 20 tracks. Du soyeux à la hauteur de toutes les perles US auxquelles on se bute tous les deux.

Du coup, gros plaisir pour Flow là-dessus, je suis à l'aise et posé, je surfe en mode voix de miel. Pour les textes, ya deux trucs qui traînaient et prenaient la poussière pour rien dans le Book of Rhymes. Ya de l'inédit parce que je me sens toujours sur ma vague de créativité inspirée. Et donc même en mode récré spontanée, je me démerde quand même pour avoir des choses à dire qu'on n'entend pas toujours ailleurs, je tâche de ne pas tourner en rond. Fond et forme, t'inquiète l'exigence fait toujours partie de la politique maison. N'hésite pas à me faire savoir quelles sont tes barz préférées.

Tout ça ainsi que plein d'autres choses (dont un feat tout récent avec @bigmodcashmire sur une prod de @royazmusic) est dispo sur YT et toutes les plateformes de streaming. Nouvelle Dope cover de @daexdope et nouveau Dope mix de @_taipan_ . Plein d'autres choses arrivent.

Merci à celles et ceux qui ont donné, donnent et donneront du soutien.

Lyrics :

01. Joyaux

Vrai Hip Hop comme quand arrivent les LOX

Ma Reine paresse dans mon Hoodie comme Ari Lennox

J’aime quand pas d’stress on est tout chill, on rit d’conneries

J’aime quand nos pieds s’caressent pendant qu’on lit au lit

Quand c’est Olé Olé, chaud comme quand l’groove de Fela est là

Ce supplément d’âme comme Ella elle l’a

Plains ceux pour qui il n’y a que le boulard, couple

Egale savoir que tout n’tourne pas autour de soi comme Hula hoop

Ça vous la coupe comme j’peux vous tuer en une attaque

En une accap’, du napalm, jalouse pas du nabab

Car l’infortune peut même toucher les fortunés

Derrière c’Mic vaut mieux pas m’importuner

Plus de joyaux que n’en a chouravés l’occident

Z’ont tout raflé sacripants, c’tait surtout pas des accidents

Mais moi gracieusement j’vous en offre gracieusement

Le premier c’est l’cœur, j’le fais avec, ça s’ressent

blabla

Pas besoin d’une popularité à la Omar Sy

Je veux réussir des ambiances à la Roc Marci

Jalouse pas Roméo Elvis pour ses tas d’zéniths

Mais parce qu’il a collaboré avec Alchemist

Mais chanceux comme Luciano j’ai des gars comme Lucania

On fout l’bazar trop chauds comme full cagnard

Lyricalement je crains personne j’ai tout l’arsenal

Fais comme Iverson rookie : passe le Mic/Mike !

Blabla outro

02. Obsolescence

Oui j’nourris toujours ton esprit de ces rimes non périssables

Alors que les pourris fourmillent, fournissent des foutoirs méprisables

Vouloir des mirages ? Fous-toi de ces images

Et les brouhahas assourdissent, abasourdissent, Fuck tout c’blabla

Tout s’oublie, tout saoule vite, tous s’oublient

Tout s’achète, tout s’vend, tout s’jette tout l’temps, ôtant toute vie

Toute étincelle, toute humanité sur c’globe cramé

Même les relations semblent avoir une obsolescence programmée

On les consomme comme un truc qui s’jette, comme un kleenex

Plus de sens, de substance, plus qu’une une chasse fric-sex

Se noyer dans la jouissance plus pouvoir vivre sans cette ivresse

Ton phone vaut deux loyers mais pour les pauvres t’as pas une ptite pièce ?!

À chaque jour son buzz, t’es branché mais c’est pas l’bon ampérage

Ton encéphalogramme est plat, ton melon a enflé grave

Tu devrais t’prendre des claques quand tu crânes et flambes en terrasse

Moi j’fais dans l’vrai rap

En ces temps très barges une denrée rare

03. Pia Kemp

Ptit rappel : on arrive à peine à la cheville de Pia Kemp

Des meufs + burnées qu’toi, ne crois pas qu’il n’y qu’elle

Les punch subversives sont chez Virginie Despentes

Les rappeurs chantent, les amateurs de lyricisme déchantent

Un peu comme pour la baise, j’kiffe la scène

Prendre mais aussi donner du plaisir ça m’plaît

Veux complicité, Jim et Kim qui partagent une cigarette

T’as rien compris si tu te dis chuis trop fort si j’harcèle

Imagine subir 1 jour ces « psst psst madmoizelle »

Tu m’étonnes que certaines soient misandres, que certaines ne soient pas zen

Personne n’est défini par son sexe, par sa couleur

J’écris, tu vois des images, Hip Hop, Martha Cooper

J’ai les yeux rouges et suis le roi comme Myriam

J’ai pas d’ptits atouts, performances Nafissatou Thiam

Mon son t’enchante, il tue même si on s’en branle

C’est évident pourtant trop s’en foutent comme le consentement

blabla

Tar Un, j’te mets une douille

Fort comme un vagin et toi fragile comme une couille

04. Comme par miracle

En moi ya cette force qui m’anime, qui m’habite

Qui me donne cette manie de trouver la rime

Polysyllabique ou assez magique

Pour que ça te captive que ton esprit s’active

Mais entre ma vie et l’imaginatif

J’suis assez habile, assez agile

Des années passives, j’en ai à mon actif

Profond comme l’abîme connait le secret des pyramides

Comme Ali, j’suis fort man, natif

De Verviers ma ville, QG de ma clique

Où certains s’agitent et d’autres s’assagissent

Où je réalise que j’suis loin et chavire

Moi j’aspire à échapper à la spirale

Pour moi c’est vital les émotions véritables

Face à ces myriades de propagandes virales

De dirigeants minables, de sociétés, de filiales

La fumée du spliff j’inhale, me creuse la tête si j’cale

Avec la foi ça ira, c’texte se finira

Puis comme par miracle, de l’or sort alors que j’divague

Rimes riches comme un émirat, combatif comme Divac

Vérité dans chaque syllabe, s’évapore de mes synapses

Comme un bonzaï je cisaille mon flow, content que si j’gagne

Ma langue un sabre comme Gza, une technique indéchiffrable

Esprit pas en friche, fiable, talent de légende comme Zidane

05. J’ai plus de crew

Je me rappelle mon crew, les gens, mon clan, mon skwad

À la vie à la mort, partage tout, ensemble où qu’on soit

La vie devant nous, le monde à nous, c’était qu’une question d’temps

Les réponses à nos questions pas grave si nous restions sans

« on verra » et « ils verront », « on sera jamais des vieux cons ! »

On a vu, « eux » n’ont pas vu, la vie nous a donné quelques leçons

Vive la fougue et l’idéalisme

Nos rêves, nos choix, nos projet, peu importe si c’était irréaliste

Puis les situations évoluent, les trajectoires divergent

Étrange d’être presqu’étranger pour des personnes intimes hier

Toujours plus de rencontres, moins de temps, à l’occaz un trépasse

Toujours plus de gens à qui je dis sincèrement « Faut qu’on se voit un de ces 4 ! »

Prisonniers de nos quotidiens, on tente de savourer

Des moments qui seront toujours plus rares si on ose se l’avouer

Pour ceux qui savent et pour ceux qui ne le savent même pas

Un lien existe bel et bien et sachez que ça restera

blabla

Les potes, on s’est éloignés, tant de distance nous sépare

J’ai pas croulé sous les signes, les coups de fils, les messages

Mais y’en a eu et j’ai pas fait plus, malgré nos absences respectives

Avec ou sans moi dedans je vous souhaite une très belle vie

Et j’kiffe les chills, des coups, du son en petit comité

Comme Pharell Happy, Lucky, j’esquive coups du sort et veux profiter

Petit déglinguage à l’occaz, large smile quand j’danse

Limite en transe, euphorie que j’sens grande, ensemble, en bande

Mais bon j’ai donné, j’l’ai trop fait, débordé, dégommé

Décrocher avant de n’être que désolant et désolé

40 ans ne trainant qu’entre couilles c’est pas tentant

Poivrots pathétiques patentés : il est grand temps de changer de tendance

Envie de solitude ou de me mettre bien avec ma Reine

De bonnes discussions, de culture, faire de la merde j’arrête

Devenir l’idole des jeunes, j’crois que c’est niqué du coup

Oublie pas mes homies du tout mais tant pis, j’ai plus d’crew

Blabla outro
