THE 10 COMMANDMENTS OF PRESS RELEASES
http://www.musicdish.com/mag/?id=12018
By Bill Stoller, The Publicity Insider (Associate Writer)
In baseball, it's said that you know an umpire is top-notch when you never
notice his presence. If he's doing his job, he won't call attention to
himself in any way. It's much the same for the writer of a press release.

This
Day in Music
Sam Cooke was shot and killed in a Los Angeles motel on December 11th,
1964. One of his last hits, “A Change is Gonna Come,” was
arguably one of his best. It was written in response to Bob Dylan’s,
“Blowin’ in the Wind,” and followed the top 10 hits,
“Shake,” “Another Saturday Night,” “Twistin’
the Night Away,” “Chain Gang” and “You Send
Me.”
The Doors played their last concert this week in 1970, with Jim Morrison
as lead singer. The gig was held in New Orleans, just days after Morrison
recorded his An American Prayer poetry on his 27th birthday.
Genesis appeared in the U.S. for the first time, at a Boston university
in 1972. They were promoting Foxtrot, their fourth album. The classic
line-up of Peter Gabriel, Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks, Steve Hackett
and Phil Collins had been established for a year and a half, and would
remain intact for another 2½ years. “Watcher of the Skies”
was probably the best of the six tracks on the album. Foxtrot
Rock and Roll Over Ace Frehley rocked and then rolled over in 1976 when
he received an electrical shock on stage in Lakeland, Florida. He was
carried off after the jolt, but returned minutes later. The group was
currently enjoying a number 4 single with “Beth,” as well
as the release of a new album, Rock and Roll Over, with future hits,
“Calling Dr. Love” and “Hard Luck Woman.”
