Philadelphia PA Apir 7, 1915 / d. NYC July 17, 1959 (44)Ruth Lowe (August 12, 1914 – January 4, 1981) was a Canadian pianist and songwriter. She wrote the song after her husband died during surgery. The song was later covered by many artists, including Frank Sinatra and The Ink Spots.In 1936, Ruth was working in the 'Song Shop' in Toronto when Ina Ray Hutton brought her all-female band (the Melodiers) to town. Her piano player had taken ill, and Ina was frantically trying to locate a good-looking blonde lady replacement. Ruth Lowe auditioned, and became the regular pianist in Ina Ray's band. At age 23 (1938), Ruth married Harold Cohen, a Chicago music publicist. It was a very happy marriage that only lasted one year until Harold's tragic demise during an operation in 1939. In her deep grief, Ruth returned to live in Toronto. In her lonely apartment, she composed "I'll Never Smile Again".The song "I'll Never Smile Again" was first heard on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's (CBC) radio program Music By Faith, in an arrangement by Canadian musician Percy Faith, who would soon go on to fame in the USA and the world. Approximately a year later, Ruth passed a copy of the tune to a saxophone player in the Tommy Dorsey band, hoping to have Dorsey hear the tune. Dorsey thought the tune had much merit, and arranged it for his very young singer, Frank Sinatra. It was Sinatra's first great hit, and really launched Sinatra on his phenomenal career. Later she wrote the lyrics for still another Frank Sinatra hit, "Put Your Dreams Away (For Another Day)", Frank's 'signature' song, (which was also played at his funeral). The tune was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1982.6.   Payola$ with Carole Pope: Never Said I Loved You(P Hyde / B Rock)45 single bw Soldier: A&M Records AM 623Vancouver BCPaul Hyde: vocalsCarole Pope: vocalsBob Rock: guitarChristopher Livingston: keysChris Taylor: drumsProduced by Mick Ronson with The Payola$ 1982The Payola$, having successfully transformed themselves from a Vancouver punk band to a new wave sensation by incorporating reggae into their music, were riding on a high.

They performing in local clubs and toured North America & Europe. After moving to Toronto in 1966 she played the jazz club circuit & became known as "Canada's First Lady of Blues". She was a featured performer at the CNE grandstand in 1969, and enjoying success in musicals. I first saw here perform in the late ‘60s when she hit the Toronto pop music scene. She put together a blues & jazz cabaret show called ‘Indigo’ on the history of black music which earned her the Dora Award for outstanding performance. Bey was made an Honourary member of the Order of Canada in 2005.Beginning in her early sixties she began showing signs of dementia. As of 2011 her illness had progressed to the point that she could no longer perform.4.   Ellen McIlwaine: Never Tell Your Mother She’s Out Of Tune(Jack Bruce / Pete Brown)We The People: Polydor Records 2391 059Calgary ABEllen McIlwaine: guitar, vocals, pianoDon Payne: bassJerry Mercer: drumsCollin Tilton: saxProduced by Peter K Siegel, 1973Recorded at The Record Plant, NYC by Shelly Yakus and Tom FlyeThis song was the first song on Jack Bruce’s first solo album ‘Songs for a Tailor’  released in 1969. Actually, it was his second solo album; the first one stayed hidden on a shelf while Bruce was still performing in Cream with Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker. For some strange reason Ellen’s first album was released after the second album. So the first album is really the second album and the second one is really the first.The song was written by Jack Bruce with words by his poet friend, Pete Brown, who penned most of the original songs in the Cream’s repertoire.5.   Ojnab: Hommage à André Alain(JP Loyer)Le messager: Ojnab Musique - DC 01Joliette, QCJean-Paul Loyer – banjoChristopher Layer – pipesDenis Fréchette – keys, drumsJean-Claude Mirandette - guitarProduced by Jean-Paul Loyer - 1995Mastered by Jean-Paul Loyer and Denis FréchetteRecorded by Denis Fréchette at #4 Rd Studio6.   Creamcheeze Goodtime Band: Where The Soul Of Man Never Dies(Raney)Perth County Green: Dominion Records - LPS 21022Gadshill ONBilly Kell: guitars, vocalsDave Harwood: bassPat Kell: mandolin, tambourine, kazoo, washboardBarb Payne: fiddleJames Kell: drumsProduced by Terry Regan, 1971Recorded by George Semkiw at RCA Studios, Toronto7.   Dale Bradley: I Lobster But Never Flounder(Bobby Braddock / Sparky Braddock)45 Single: BelAir Records – BA 214NLProduced by Bob Cousins, 19848.   Stompin’ Tom Connors: Never Want To See The World Again(TC Connors)Fiddle & Song: ACT Records STC-15Halton Hills, ONTom Connors: flat top picking, fiddle, rhythm guitar, mandolinBill Hughes: electric guitar, rhythm guitar, harmonica, banjoStew Evans: bassAndy Michaels: steel, dobroGary Robinson: percussionProduced by Tom C Connors, 1988Recorded at Escarpment Sound, Acton ON by Brian HewsonOne of Tom’s least known songs, released on his comeback album Fiddle & Song, originally released on Tom’s A-C-T (Assist Canadian Talent) label.
