California Dreamin’: Cass Elliot before the Mamas & the Papas is both a biography and a tribute to Cass Elliott. She was born Ellen Cohen to a father who dreamed of being an opera singer and mother who was a singer in a swing-jazz group in her youth. She idealized her dad and had a flair for the dramatic from a very young age. The book tells the story through various narrators’ points of view. It begins in 1941, covering her high school years, dropping out to be an actor, her various bands and ends just as The Mamas & Papas are beginning. It tells of her triumphs and struggles along the way. Her large size was an obstacle for record producers, but her extraordinary talent and formidable personality could not be ignored. Cass Elliot became a star.
Reading this book it is obvious that Penelope Bagieu is a fan of Cass Elliot. She writes with obvious compassion and her drawings feel alive on the page. Together they create a character worthy of our affection and admiration. California Dreamin’ is a great read and a visual treat.

»Unbelievable Musicality« Daniel Barenboim expressed after hearing the young pianist Leonie Rettig at the age of fourteen, today she is one of the »great up and coming pianists« according to the German NDR. Besides being a professional concert pianist and occasional writer, Leonie is also engaged in social projects and willing to put herself in uncomfortable places when she feels it’s needed. Following threats by e-mail and multiple demands to step back from a charity concert given for the Deutsch-Israelische Gesellschaft, she was forced to perform this concert under police protection. During the refugee crisis in 2015 Leonie spent nights and days supporting people in emergency shelters she has helped to build up. This led to Leonie organizing a successful charity concert for refugee children at the Kammermusiksaal der Philharmonie Berlin. This concert in collaboration with UNICEF was played alongside one of Germanys most well-known actresses Katja Riemann, as well as colleagues as chamber music partners. She is also continuously performing for organizations in Germany, such as Aktion 100000 in Ulm, supporting local families in need. Leonie Rettig was a student of the late Vladimir Krainev at the piano faculty of the College of Music, Drama and Media in Hanover, who was one of the last pupils of legendary pianist and pedagogue Heinrich Neuhaus. Piano works ranging from the sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti to those of Henry Dutilleux are part of her extensive repertoire. With her profile as musician, writer and passionate dancer and including all of these art forms into her career, Leonie Rettig stands out exceptionally in the classical music industry.


SSB and Howl! Happening are delighted to present a snippet from Penny’s performance of Margo Howard-Howard below. The full performance, as well as a video of the infamous performance of Jackie Curtis’ Glamor, Glory, and Gold at 56 Bleecker Gallery will be featured in Love Among the Ruins.
Performance artist Penny Arcade’s work has always taken a journalistic approach, rooted in non-fiction and always drawn from real life around her.
In 1984, she began a series of performance pieces based on people who were known not only to her, but to the local downtown community where she was working. The first character she created was Dame Margo Howard-Howard, whose claim to fame was as Jackie Curtis’ acting coach before the posthumous publication of her 1988 semi-fictional memoir I Was a White Slave in Harlem.
Margo would often appear at Penny’s performances and repeat lines to the audience around her. In Margot’s chronology within her memoir, she identifies 1985 as when “Penny Arcade prepares her performance of Margo Howard-Howard for the stage.”
Arcade’s work has always been improvisational, a gifted mimic and storyteller. Even at the beginning of her career, she would go onstage armed with only the “drag” of the character she was portraying—approaching performance art as a live-action form. Like action painting, performances were unrehearsed and improvised live.
The nature of Arcade’s performance style was only beginning to be understood after being widely misunderstood. In 1988, New York Times critic Stephen Holden publicly took issue with her character of Margo Howard-Howard, saying “Her characterization is a patently unbelievable creation of Susana Ventura, that she has created in order to hang sensationalistic images of sex and drugs on.” The following Sunday, the Times Book Review published a rave review of Margo’s autobiography.
Margot Howard-Howard always said “Penny Arcade does a much better Margo Howard-Howard than I.” Incidentally, Margot and Penny share the same birthday: July 15th.
Photo at blog intro is Penny Arcade as Dame Margo Howard-Howard. Courtesy of the artist.
Glamour, Glory and Gold will be presented at Howl Happening: An Arturo Vega Project (6 East 1st Street, NYC) on September 22nd & 23rd, 7pm. Free to attend.


And Still I Rise
Distinctly referred to as “a redwood tree, with deep roots in American culture,” icon Maya Angelou gave people the freedom to think about their history in a way they never had before. Dr. Angelou’s was a prolific life; as a singer, dancer, activist, poet, and writer she inspired generations with lyrical modern African-American thought that pushed boundaries.
This unprecedented film celebrates Dr. Maya Angelou by weaving her words with rare and intimate archival photographs and videos, which paint hidden moments of her exuberant life during some of America’s most defining moments. From her upbringing in the Depression-era South to her work with Malcolm X in Ghana to her inaugural speech for President Bill Clinton, we are given special access to interviews with Dr. Angelou whose indelible charm and quick wit make it easy to love her.
The film also features a remarkable series of interviews with friends and family including President Bill Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, Common, Alfre Woodard, Cicely Tyson, Quincy Jones, Secretary Hillary Clinton, John Singleton and Dr. Angelou’s son, Guy Johnson.
Like many films we’ve worked on, there’s always the narrative you have in your head about the subject and then there’s the actual narrative that emerges after several years of filming. This proved to be the case on our film about the life of the remarkable Maya Angelou.
What emerged, surprisingly, were several stories from her life that were nearly unknown to most people and therefore quite intriguing to us. Few people knew that Maya Angelou performed in a revolutionary Jean Genet play called The Blacks in 1961 with a cast of actors that would all go on to great acclaim: James Earl Jones, Cicely Tyson, Godfrey Cambridge, Lou Gossett, Jr. and Charles Gordone.
Similarly, most people don’t know that Maya Angelou had a career as a calypso singer and dancer in the 1950s and actually appeared in a movie called Calypso Heat Wave. We were able to track down the movie and it’s a revelation to see her performing in beautiful black and white footage.
Another little known part of her story that emerged is Maya Angelou’s life in Africa in the early 1960s. Though she talks about it in her books it’s fascinating to hear her describe her trip to Cape Coast in Ghana, the terrible place where the slave ships embarked hundreds of years ago. Or to hear her describe the excitement of living in newly liberated Ghana and meeting with Malcolm X on his pilgrimage to Africa.
It was a unique privilege to be the first filmmakers to tell her full story and it was exciting the uncover some of these ‘secret’ stories that most people hadn’t heard. That’s the wonder of being a documentary filmmaker.

Louisa married William McDonnell (1851–1918), sixth earl of Antrim in 1875; her own appointment, in the family tradition, as lady of the bedchamber in 1890, enabled her to spend a certain amount of time each year away from her erratic and hot-tempered husband.

Elizabeth, Duchess of Argyll
Born Lady Elizabeth Leveson-Gower in 1824, the eldest daughter of George, second duke of Sutherland, and Lady Harriet Howard, she shared her mother's religious and philanthropic interests, and followed her as mistress of the robes (1868–70) in Gladstone's first administration.

Hers was a family-centred life, based on the family's Perthshire estates and the social round of the London season, especially in the 1880s and 1890s, when the futures of her three daughters (p.223) were her prime concern. She died on a continental tour in 1902. Main residences: Blair Castle, Perthshire, and 84 Eaton Place, London.
Constance, Lady Battersea
Born in 1843, elder daughter of Sir Anthony de Rothschild and Louisa Montefiore, in 1877 she married Cyril Flower (1843–1907), Liberal MP and party whip. He was created Baron Battersea in 1892.

In 1865 she married George Cadogan (1840–1915), who became viscount Chelsea the next year, and succeeded as fifth earl Cadogan in 1873. Her husband was somewhat wayward, a conservative politician, and a member of the circle surrounding the prince of Wales. Lady Cadogan interested herself in household management, which was complicated by the absence of a regular country estate, and in charitable activities. She had seven sons and two daughters, and died in 1907. Main residences: Chelsea House, Cadogan Place, London, and Babraham Hall, Cambridge, rented from the Adeane family.
Charlotte, Countess Canning
Born the hon. Charlotte Stuart in 1817, elder daughter of Charles Stuart, baron Stuart de Rothesay, and Lady Elizabeth York, she was noted for her beauty and (p.224) devotion to religion.

She served as a lady of the bedchamber between 1842 and 1855, when her Peelite husband was sent to India as governor-general. A great admirer of the prince consort, she was one of the queen's favourite companions. She was in India throughout the great revolt of 1857, and was India's first vicereine. She died there in 1861, while planning her return to England. Main residences: 10 Grosvenor Square, London; Government House, Calcutta.
Adeline, Countess of Cardigan and Lancastre
Born Adeline de Horsey in 1824, she was the daughter of Spencer de Horsey and Lady Louisa Rous. Her father belonged to a ‘fast’ set, and his daughter followed his example. She early became notorious for her affair with James Bruce (1797–1868), seventh earl of Cardigan: rumours circulated that she had borne his child. She married him two months after the death of his first wife in 1858. Never received by the more morally upright sections of society, she was none the less a well-known member of the racing and hunting set, and kept great state at Deene Park in Northamptonshire. In 1873 she married Antonio, count de Lancastre (d. 1898), but this marriage failed, and she spent most of her time at Deene. She died in 1915, having scandalized society one last time by publishing a scurrilous volume, My Recollections, in 1909. Main residences: Deene Park, near Wansford, Northamptonshire; 36 Portman Square, London; Cardigan Lodge, Newmarket.
Katharine, Countess of Clarendon
Born Lady Katharine Grimston in 1810, daughter of James Grimston, first earl of Verulam, and Lady Charlotte Jenkinson.

She accompanied him to Ireland, where he was lord-lieutenant (1847–52); as wife to the foreign secretary, she was a well-known hostess in the 1850s and 1860s. She died in 1874; her daughters became Ladies Derby, Lathom, and Ampthill. Main residences: The Grove, near Watford; 1 Grosvenor Crescent, London.
Susan, Countess of Dalhousie
Born Lady Susan Hay in 1817, the daughter of George Hay, eighth marquess of Tweeddale, and Lady Susan Montagu, whose selfish attention to their own interests was a family byword. In 1836 she married James Ramsay (1812–60), Lord Ramsay, tenth earl of Dalhousie, who was created marquess of Dalhousie in 1849. For some months in 1842 she joined her sister Elizabeth, then Lady Douro, as a lady of the bedchamber to the queen, but ill health forced her early resignation. She accompanied the marquess to India, where he was governor-general (1847–56), but died on a voyage home in 1853. Main residences: Dalhousie Castle, near Edinburgh; Colstoun House, near Haddington; Government House, Calcutta.
Lady Anna Maria Dawson
Born in 1784/5, she was the daughter of John Dawson, first earl of Portarlington, and (p.225) Lady Caroline Stuart.

She remained in close contact with court circles until her death in 1866 at the age of 71. Main residences: Clarence House, St James's; Frogmore House, Berkshire.
Mary, Countess of Derby

In 1847 she married James Gascoyne-Cecil (1791–1868), second marquess of Salisbury, as his second wife, and inherited her predecessor's mantle as one of the confidantes of the duke of Wellington. For twenty years she was the doyenne of the conservative circle based at Hatfield House in Hertfordshire. Salisbury died in 1868, and two years later she married Edward Stanley (1826–93), fifteenth earl of Derby. In this new situation, she was an important political figure, less as a hostess than as a significant point of contact between individuals and parties. She died in 1900. Main residences: Hatfield House, Hertfordshire; 20 Arlington Street, London; then Knowsley Hall, Prescot, Lancashire; 23 St James's Square, London; Holwood, Beckenham, Kent.
Lady Harriet Elliot
She was the youngest of the five daughters of Gilbert Elliot, second earl of Minto, and Mary Brydone. Lady John Russell was her elder sister, and it was under her auspices that she appeared in London society. She died, unmarried, at an early age, in 1855. Main residences: Minto House, Hawick, and Melgund, near Jedburgh, both in Roxburghshire.
Jane, Marchioness of Ely
Born Jane Hope-Vere in 1821, she was the daughter of James Hope-Vere of Craigie. In 1844 she married John Loftus (1814–57), viscount Loftus, who in the following year succeeded as third marquess of Ely. In 1851 she was appointed lady of the bedchamber to the queen, and remained in the household until her death. After both she and the queen were widowed, she spent much of her time at court, where she was the queen's favoured go-between, a position for which she was temperamentally unsuited. Her death in 1890 was much lamented by the queen. Main residences: Ely Lodge, near Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh; Loftus Hall, Co. Wexford; 9 Prince's Gate, Knightsbridge.
Harriet, Countess Granville
Born Lady Harriet Cavendish in 1785, she was the daughter of the fifth duke of Devonshire and Lady Georgiana Spencer. Brought up amid the notorious Devonshire House set, she belonged to the second generation of the Whig Cousinhood. In 1809 she married Lord Granville Leveson-Gower (1773–1846), who became successively viscount and earl Granville, and inherited the family produced by his liaison with her aunt, Lady Bessborough. She had a distinguished career as his ambassadress during his terms of office in Paris from 1827 to 1841; following his death she became (p.226) noted for her evangelical piety. She died in 1862. Her eldest son was one of the leaders of the Gastonia Liberal party, while one of her daughters was well known as a Catholic convert and novelist. Main residences: Embassy, Paris; Stone Park, Staffordshire; 13 Hereford Street, London.
Lady Charlotte Guest
Born in 1812, she was the daughter of General Albemarle Bertie, ninth earl of Lindsey, and his wife Charlotte Layard. Following her father's early death, her mother married the tutor of her children; to escape the social ignominy of this new relationship, in 1833 she married the Welsh ironmaster John Josiah Guest (1785–1852), who was created a baronet in 1838. Lady Charlotte, who was a noted scholar and published a well-regarded translation of the Mabinogion, took an increasing role in the management of the Dowlais ironworks, and, following her husband's death, took control. In 1855 she married her children's tutor, Charles Schreiber (1826–84), and gave up the works. She became a celebrated collector of porcelain, and a benefactor of the Victoria and Albert Museum. She died in 1895. Main residences: Dowlais, South Wales; Canford Manor, Dorset; 11 Upper Belgrave Street, London; Exeter House, Roehampton.
Elizabeth, Lady Holland
Born Elizabeth Vassall, probably in 1781, she was the daughter of Richard Vassall, who owned sugar plantations in Jamaica, and his American wife, Mary Clarke. In 1786 she married Sir Godfrey Webster, fourth baronet (1747–1800), of Battle Abbey, Sussex; they had five children. In 1794 she met Henry Fox, third baron Holland (1773–1840), in Naples; their first child was born in November. Webster divorced her in July 1797, and two days later she married Holland. Despite her social notoriety, Lady Holland ran the most brilliant salon in London, at Holland House, Kensington, which became a renowned political and literary centre. Whiggery was the creed of Holland House, and in turn, it formed a new generation of Whig politicians, most notably Lord John Russell. Imperious, querulous, and ambitious, Lady Holland dominated Whig society for a generation, until Holland's death in 1840, after which she could not bear to live at Holland House. Her own death followed in 1845. Main residences: Holland House, Kensington; then 33 South Street; 9 Great Stanhope Street.
Sarah Sophia, Countess of Jersey
Born Lady Sarah Fane in 1785, she was the daughter of John Fane, tenth earl of Westmorland, and Sarah Anne Child. She was the heir to the banking fortune of her grandfather, Robert Child, of Child's Bank, and to his Middlesex estate, Osterley Park. She was to take an active interest in the management of the bank. In 1804 she married George Villiers (1773–1859), viscount Villiers, who in the following year succeeded as fifth earl of Jersey. Lady Jersey was a keen politician and conduit of political information; the Whiggery of her early years (she was a prominent supporter of Queen Caroline during the divorce case) bent under the weight of family connections with (p.227) leading Tories in the 1820s and 1830s, principally the duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel. A patroness of the exclusive balls at Almack's, the fact that her own fortune came from banking was a hindrance to the marriage of her daughter to the Austrian Prince Esterhazy. Lady Jersey died in 1867. Main residences: Middleton Park, near Bicester, Oxfordshire; Osterley Park, Middlesex; 38 Berkeley Square, London.
Frances, Viscountess Jocelyn
Born Lady Frances Cowper in 1820, ostensibly the daughter of Peter Cowper, fifth earl Cowper, and his wife, Emily Lamb, her father was in fact probably her mother's lover and eventual second husband, Lord Palmerston. A celebrated beauty, she was expected to make a ‘great match’; she married Robert Jocelyn (1816–54), viscount Jocelyn and heir to the earldom of Roden in 1841. The contrast between the sternly religious Ulster family of the Rodens, who were notorious Orangemen, and the secular, worldly Cowpers and Palmerstons was marked. Fanny Jocelyn, who had been a bridesmaid at Victoria and Albert's wedding, became a lady of the bedchamber in 1841, an office she retained until 1867. Her husband, with whom she had an unsettled relationship, and who was a serving army officer, died dramatically from cholera in his mother-in-law's drawing-room in 1854. Blaming herself for the failure of their marriage, she virtually isolated herself after his death, devoting herself to her children and, from 1867, to the motherless children of her elder daughter. Tragedy continued to mar her life: of her six children, five died before her, from tuberculosis. Lady Jocelyn died in 1880. Main residence: Hertford Street, London.
Frances Anne, Marchioness of Londonderry
Born Frances Anne Vane in 1800, daughter of Sir Henry Vane and Anne Catherine Macdonnell, countess of Antrim in her own right. She was heiress to the vast estates of her family, principally in Co. Durham. In 1819 she married, as his second wife, Charles Stewart, baron Stewart (1778–1854), who changed his name to Vane, and in 1822 succeeded his brother as third marquess of Londonderry. Lady Londonderry had a varied career, as ambassadress in Vienna, as a leading Tory hostess in London, and, especially after her husband's death, as the manager and director of the huge industrial and agricultural concerns of the family in England and Ireland. An early patron of Disraeli, she also directed the political interests of her family after 1854, and was a dominant voice in the politics of Co. Durham. She died in 1865. Main residences: Wynyard Park, Stockton-on-Tees; Seaham Hall, Sunderland; Mount Stewart, Co. Down; Garron Tower, Co. Antrim; Holdernesse House, Park Lane, London.
Cecil, Marchioness of Lothian
Born Lady Cecil Chetwynd Talbot in 1808, she was the daughter of Charles Talbot, second earl Talbot, and Frances Lambart. Brought up in a religious family, in 1831 she married John Kerr, seventh marquess of Lothian (1794–1841). When he died in 1841, she was left with seven children under 10 years old. Lady Lothian devoted herself to charitable and religious works; a correspondent of Henry Manning, she tied (p.228) her religious future to his, and joined the Roman Catholic Church, a move which imperilled her guardianship of her own children. Having been a benefactor of high Anglican churches, her patronage was redirected to the Catholic Church, and her funeral sermon after her death in Rome in 1877 was preached by the Jesuit Peter Gallwey. Main residences: Newbattle Abbey, near Dalkeith; Blickling Hall, Norfolk.
Sarah, Lady Lyttelton
Born Lady Sarah Spencer in 1787, she was the daughter of George Spencer, second earl Spencer, and Lady Lavinia Bingham. Georgiana, duchess of Devonshire, was her aunt; her grandmother, the pious dowager Lady Spencer, was an important influence in her early years. In 1815 she married William Lyttelton, third baron Lyttelton (1782–1837), and a year after his death accepted the position of lady of the bedchamber to the queen. In 1842 she was appointed governess to the royal children, in which post she supervised and administered the royal nursery until her resignation at the end of 1850. The death of one of her daughters in that year called her back to family duties, which were multiplied by the death of her daughter-in-law, Mary, Lady Lyttelton, in 1857, leaving twelve children. Lady Lyttelton died in 1870. Main residences: Hagley Hall, Worcestershire; 12 Stratton Street, London.
Louise, Duchess of Manchester
Born Countess Louise von Alten in 1832, she was the daughter of Karl, Count von Alten of Hanover. In 1852 she married William Drogo Montagu, viscount Mandeville (1823–90), who in 1855 succeeded as seventh duke of Manchester. She rapidly became established as a member of the prince of Wales's Marlborough House set, despite which she was appointed mistress of the robes under Lord Derby in 1858. A staunch conservative, she soon acquired the Whig Spencer Cavendish, Lord Hartington (1833–1908), as her lover; his liberal colleagues considered her a baleful influence. The relationship continued for more than thirty years, tacitly condoned by society (if not by the queen, who disapproved). Manchester died in 1890, and the regulation two years later, his widow married her lover, who in the meantime had both become a unionist and succeeded as eighth duke of Devonshire. Stalwart supporters of the race-track and the card-table, echoes of the Devonshire House set of a century before were heard once more among the now ageing conservative aristocrats. The ‘Double Duchess’ died in 1911. Main residences: Kimbolton Castle, Huntingdonshire; 1 Great Stanhope Street, London; after 1892, Chatsworth and Hardwick Hall, Derbyshire; Devonshire House, Piccadilly, London.
Frances, Viscountess Milton
Born Lady Frances Douglas in 1819, she was the daughter of Sholto Douglas, seventeenth earl of Morton, and Frances Rose. In 1838 she married (having declined W. E. Gladstone) William Thomas Fitzwilliam, viscount Milton (1815–1902). Lady Milton and her husband, whom she called Tom, spent a considerable amount of time in the 1840s and 1850s managing the family's Irish estates at Coollattin Park, Co. Wicklow; (p.229) in the same period they produced twelve surviving children, seven sons and five daughters. In 1857 Milton's father died, and he succeeded as sixth earl Fitzwilliam and inherited the estates which included much industrial land in Yorkshire. Lady Fitzwilliam died in 1895. Main residences: Wentworth House, Rotherham, Yorkshire; Coollattin Park, Co. Wicklow; 4 Grosvenor Square, London.
Mary, Countess of Minto
Born Mary Brydone in 1786, the daughter of Patrick Brydone of Lemuel House,
Berwickshire, and Mary Robertson, in 1806 she married Gilbert Elliot (1782–1859), who in 1813 became viscount Melgund, and the following year succeeded his father as the second earl of Minto. She periodically felt inadequate to deal with the responsibilities of her social position, but was a conscientious patron of the poor on her estates. The Mintos were perennially financially embarrassed; in the 1850s they closed their Scottish house, and lived abroad for some time to retrench. Shaky finances contributed to their reputation for being ‘political jobbers’ (nepotistic seekers after office), not helped by the marriage of one of Lady Minto's daughters, Fanny, to the Liberal leader Lord John Russell. Lady Minto, who had been ill for some time, died in 1853. Main residences: Minto House, Hawick, Roxburghshire; Melgund, Jedburgh; 48 Eaton Square, London.
Harriet, Countess of Morley
Born Harriet Parker in 1809/10, the only daughter of Montagu Parker of Whiteway, Devon, and Harriet Newcombe of Starcross, she first married William Coryton of Pentillie Castle, Cornwall. Following his death, in 1842 she married her second cousin, Edmund Parker, second earl of Morley (1810–64). Tangentially connected to the court (her husband was a lord-in-waiting 1846–52), she took great pride in her only son's career at court and in Liberal politics. She survived her husband by more than thirty years, and concerned herself with her Devonshire farms and estates and their inhabitants. Lady Morley died in 1897. Main residences: Saltram House, Plympton, Devon; Whiteway, Devon.
Lady Dorothy Nevill
Born Lady Dorothy Walpole in 1826, she was the daughter of Horatio Walpole, third earl of Orford, and Mary Fawkener. She and her sister Rachel were considered ‘flighty’ or ‘fast’, and in order to prevent further damage to her reputation, in 1847 she was married off to Reginald Nevill (1807–78), a cousin some years her senior, and a connection of the marquess of Abergavenny. Lady Dorothy settled into her role as chatelain of Dangstein in Hampshire, where she developed a great interest in horticulture, corresponding with naturalists including Darwin and Hooker; there is, however, some doubt as to the paternity of some of her children. As a hostess in London, her parties had a cross-section of guests from the worlds of politics, science, literature, and the arts; Disraeli was one of her favourites, and she and her daughter Meresia were active members of the Primrose League. In her old age, Lady Dorothy wrote a series of volumes of recollections, bemoaning the declining standards of (p.230) social life. She died in 1913. Main residences: Dangstein, near Petersfield, Hampshire; 45 Charles Street, London.
Emily, Viscountess Palmerston
Born Emily Lamb in 1787, she was the daughter of Peniston Lamb, first viscount Melbourne, and Elizabeth Milbanke. The dominant influence of her youth was her socially ambitious mother, whose close friend was Georgiana, duchess of Devonshire, and whose lovers were legion. Her brothers were Frederick (later Lord Beauvale), who became a diplomat, and William, who after years of ignominy (the notorious Lady Caroline Lamb was his wife), became prime minister in 1834. In 1805 she married Peter Leopold Cowper, fifth earl Cowper (1778–1837), a rather dull man, whom her brilliance dimmed still further. She was a leader of society, one of the lady patronesses of Almack's, and, in the later 1820s, the hostess of the Canningite faction, to which her most consistent lover, Henry Temple, third viscount Palmerston (1784–1865), belonged. In 1839, two years after her husband's death, Lady Cowper married Palmerston, and began a second career as the most influential and successful political hostess of her generation, a career which coincided with and helped to maintain the ‘Age of Palmerston’. She survived Palmerston by four years, dying in 1869. Main residences: Panshanger, Hertfordshire; after 1839, Broadlands, Hampshire; 5 Carlton House Terrace, London; then Cambridge House, Piccadilly, London; after 1865, 21 Park Lane, London.
Mary, Lady Ponsonby
Born in 1832, the daughter of John Crocker Bulteel and Lady Elizabeth Grey, she became a maid of honour to Queen Victoria in 1853. Having broken off an engagement to William Vernon Harcourt, in 1861 she married an equerry, (Sir) Henry Frederick Ponsonby, who subsequently became Victoria's private secretary. The couple were frequently separated by the demands of the private secretary's job, but they wrote to each other daily. A woman of strong intellect, she published articles on philosophy, and, despite a high church youth, was suspected of agnosticism in later life. More radical in politics than even her Liberal husband, Lady Ponsonby was a suspect figure at Victoria's increasingly conservative court, accused of exercising political influence over her husband. She died in 1916. Main residences: Norman Tower, Windsor Castle; Osborne Cottage, Isle of Wight.
Eveline, Countess of Portsmouth
Born Lady Eveline Herbert in 1834, she was the daughter of Henry Herbert, third earl of Carnarvon, and Henrietta Howard-Molyneux-Howard. In 1855 she married Isaac Wallop, viscount Lymington (1825–91), who in 1855 succeeded as fifth earl of Portsmouth. Their family of six sons and six daughters placed a considerable strain on the family fortune; Lady Portsmouth regularly recorded in her diary her fears that she was again pregnant. She died in 1906, having successfully launched her younger sons on careers, and having found husbands for all her daughters. Main residences: Hurstbourne Park, Whitchurch, Hampshire; Eggesford House, Wembworthy, Devon.
(p.231) Lady John Russell
Born Lady Frances Elliot in 1815, she was the second daughter of Gilbert Elliot, second earl of Minto, and Mary Brydone. After initially rejecting him, in 1841 she married the Whig leader, Lord John Russell (1792–1878). She was his second wife, and she inherited the responsibility for the two daughters of his first marriage, as well as her own three sons and a daughter. Intellectually interested in the issues of political liberalism, Lady John was constitutionally unsuited to the role of political wife. A poor manager, with uncertain health, she detested London and entertaining; worse still, the aspirations of her relatives were a political burden for Russell, while her capacity for saying the wrong thing earned her, probably unfairly, the reputation of hindering her husband's career. She was openly relieved on his retirement and removal to the House of Lords in 1861 as earl Russell. Her last years were spent bringing up the orphaned children of her eldest son, Lord Amberley, the younger of whom was the philosopher Bertrand Russell. Lady Russell died in 1898. Main residences: Pembroke Lodge, Richmond Park, Surrey; 31 Chesham Place, London.
Frances, Marchioness of Salisbury
Born Frances Gascoyne, in 1802, she was the daughter of Bamber Gascoyne and Fanny Price, and heiress to a considerable fortune. In 1821 she married James Brownlow Cecil, viscount Cranborne (1791–1868), who became second marquess of Salisbury in 1823; a condition of their marriage and his acquisition of her fortune was that he take the additional surname Gascoyne. A confidante of the duke of Wellington, she had five children and died from dropsy in 1839. Her widower remarried Lady Mary West, later Lady Derby. Main residences: Hatfield House, Hertfordshire; 20 Arlington Street, London.
Louisa, Countess of Sandwich
Born Lady Louisa Lowry-Corry in 1781, she was the daughter of Armar Lowry-Corry, first earl of Belmore, and his second wife, Lady Harriet Hobart. In 1804 she married George Montagu, viscount Hinchinbrooke (1773–1818), an active Tory politician, who in 1814 succeeded as sixth earl of Sandwich. The early death from consumption of her husband in 1818 left Lady Sandwich the effective head of her family until her only son came of age in 1832: she was active in promoting Tory interests in Huntingdonshire. The elder of her two daughters became Lady Harriet Baring (later Lady Ashburton), a noted wit, hostess, and friend of Thomas Carlyle; the other married Count Walewski, later French ambassador in London, but died young. Lady Sandwich, who spent many of her later years in Paris, died in 1862. Main residences: Hinchinbrooke House, Huntingdonshire; 46 Grosvenor Square, London.
Georgiana, Duchess of Somerset
Born Georgiana Sheridan in 1809, she was a granddaughter of the playwright and politician Richard Brinsley Sheridan. Georgiana Sheridan and her sisters, later Caroline Norton and Helen, Lady Dufferin, were known for their beauty as ‘the three graces’. In 1830 she married Edward Seymour, Lord Seymour (1804–85), who (p.232) succeeded as twelfth duke of Somerset in 1855. In 1839, she took the part of the ‘Queen of Beauty’ at the Eglinton Tournament. As her husband frequently held political office, she took a great deal of responsibility for the management of their widespread Somerset estates. Her later years were marred by the tragic deaths of both her sons in the 1860s. She died in 1884, a year before her husband. Main residences: Bulstrode Park, near Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire; Maiden Bradley House, Wiltshire; Stover Lodge, Devon; Wimbledon Park, Surrey; 30 Grosvenor Gardens, London.
Lady Augusta Stanley
Born in 1822, a daughter of Thomas Bruce, seventh earl of Elgin (of ‘Marbles’ fame), and his second wife, Elizabeth Oswald, the impoverishment of her family led her to seek employment at court. She was lady-in-waiting to the duchess of Kent for many years, and, after the death of the duchess in 1861, was appointed resident woman of the bedchamber to the queen. Victoria became particularly dependent on Lady Augusta Bruce, who lived permanently at court, and was outraged by her decision in 1863 to marry A. P. Stanley (1815–81), the dean of Westminster. Lady Augusta became an important hostess for the broad church party, and a channel through which the queen consented to be drawn, in small degree, back into society after Albert's death. Lady Augusta died after suffering horribly for some time, in 1876. Main residences: Frogmore, Berkshire; The Deanery, Westminster.
Lady Constance Stanley
Born Lady Constance Villiers in 1840, she was the eldest of the three daughters of George Villiers, fourth earl of Clarendon, and his second wife, Lady Katherine Grimston. Brought up in an impeccably Whig household, her parents were surprised to find themselves connected with the equally impeccably conservative Stanley family, when she married in 1864 the hon. Frederick Stanley (1841–1908). Stanley was heir presumptive to his brother, the fifteenth earl of Derby, and succeeded him in 1893. Political and personal differences made her relationship with her brother- and sister-in-law somewhat fraught. She lived until 1922. Main residence: Witherslack Hall, Grange-over-Sands, Lancashire.
The Hon. Eleanor Stanley
Born in 1821, she was the daughter of Edward Stanley (of a cadet branch of the family of the earls of Derby) and Lady Mary Maitland. She was appointed a maid of honour to the queen in 1841, and remained at court until 1862. Her letters describing court life were published as Twenty Years at Court. She resigned in 1862 to marry her cousin, Charles Maitland (later Lord Lauderdale), but the marriage did not come off. In 1866 she married Lieutenant-Colonel Samuel Long (1799–1881) of Bromley Hill, Kent, as his fourth wife. She brought up his two daughters, and, following his death, settled in Bryanston Square, London. She died in 1903.
Anne, Duchess of Sutherland
Born in 1829, she was the daughter and heiress of John Hay Mackenzie of Newhall and Cromartie and his wife Anne Gibson-Craig. She was married to the youthful (p.233) George Sutherland-Leveson-Gower, marquess of Stafford (1828–92) in 1849; the marriage failed in later years, and her husband took up with a Mrs Blair, whom he married after Anne's death. Having inherited considerable estates in her own right, she was created by Palmerston countess of Cromartie in her own right in 1861. She was mistress of the robes to the queen in Gladstone's first ministry, after the resignation of her sister-in-law, Elizabeth Argyll, from ill health in 1870. She died in 1888 at Torquay. Main residences: Trentham Hall, Staffordshire; Dunrobin, near Golspie, Sutherland; Lilleshall, Newport, Shropshire; Stafford House, London.
Harriet, Duchess of Sutherland
Born Lady Harriet Howard in 1806, she was the daughter of the sixth earl of Carlisle and his wife Lady Georgiana Cavendish. A granddaughter of the celebrated Georgiana, duchess of Devonshire, she was at the centre of the Whig Cousinhood. In 1823 she married George Granville Leveson-Gower (1786–1861), who was then earl Gower; in January 1833 he became marquess of Stafford, and, following his father's death six months later, succeeded as second duke of Sutherland. A close friend of the queen, Harriet Sutherland served as mistress of the robes in every Whig administration from the accession of Victoria until their husbands' deaths in 1861. A devout high churchwoman, she was an energetic philanthropist, promoting the abolition of slavery. Her enthusiasm for both the unification of Italy (she entertained Garibaldi at Stafford House) and for her friend and confidante, W. E. Gladstone, found less favour in the queen's sight. She died in 1868. Main residences: Dunrobin, near Golspie, Sutherland; Trentham Hall, Staffordshire; Cliveden House, near Maidenhead, Berkshire; Stafford House, London.
Frances, Countess Waldegrave
Born Frances Braham in 1821, she was the daughter of John Braham, the famous operatic tenor, and his bourgeois wife Frances Bolton. Her mother had high social aspirations, and was delighted to marry Frances to John Waldegrave, the wild, illegitimate son of the sixth earl Waldegrave, in 1839. A heavy drinker, he was dead within the year. Having been convinced that it was not forbidden by scripture, she proceeded to marry his younger, but legitimate, brother, George, seventh earl Waldegrave in September 1840. The earl also died young, in 1846. Both brothers left their widow all they possessed. Her third husband, George Granville Harcourt (d. 1861) was a widower of 61; from him she acquired social respectability and connections with the old Whig aristocracy. During the 1850s she first blossomed as a hostess, the role in which she was to flourish until her death, entertaining for the Whig/Liberal party. Wooed by all manner of suitors, from the duke of Newcastle to the duc d'Aumale, her fourth marriage, to Chichester Fortescue in 1863, was one of great affection: he had been a devoted admirer for many years. She worked tirelessly to promote his career; his failure to achieve the front rank was his alone. Her death in 1879 devastated Lord Carlingford (as he had become in 1874). Main residences: Strawberry Hill, Twickenham; 7 Carlton Gardens, London; Dudbrook House, Essex; Chewton Priory, near Bath; Nuneham Park, Oxfordshire.
(p.234) Louisa, Marchioness of Waterford
Born in Paris in 1818, Louisa Stuart was the daughter of Lord Stuart de Rothesay and Lady Elizabeth Yorke. Her sister Charlotte became countess Canning. A pious, gentle, and artistic girl, her marriage in 1842 to the dissolute Henry de la Pore Beresford, third marquess of Waterford (1811–59), who was more familiar with the police courts and the race-track than the inside of a church, surprised many. But the marriage reformed her husband, who abandoned the uncontrolled friends of his youth, and became a reforming landlord on his Irish estates. Louisa Waterford lived mainly in Ireland, attempting to relieve some of the worst consequences of the Famine, until Waterford's death in a hunting accident in 1859. Thereafter she retired to Ford Castle in Northumberland, where she devoted herself to art: she was one of the most gifted amateurs of her time. She died in 1891. Main residences: Curraghmore, Port-law, Co. Waterford; Ford Castle, Cornhill, Northumberland.
Elizabeth, Duchess of Wellington
Born Lady Elizabeth Hay in 1820, she was the daughter of George Hay, eighth marquess of Tweeddale, and Lady Susan Montagu. She left an unhappy childhood for an unhappy marriage in 1839 to Arthur Wellesley, marquess of Douro (1807–84), the eldest son of the great duke of Wellington. Fortunately, her father-in-law doted upon her, and she escaped from the miseries of her marriage into a career as a courtier. She was a lady of the bedchamber from 1843 until 1858, and mistress of the robes from 1861 to 1868, and again from 1874 to 1880. She survived her husband by twenty years, dying in 1904. Main residences: Stratfieldsaye, Hampshire; Apsley House, Piccadilly, London.
Elizabeth, Marchioness of Westminster
Born in 1797, Lady Elizabeth Leveson-Gower was the daughter of the marquess of Stafford (later first duke of Sutherland) and his wife Elizabeth Gordon, who was in her own right countess of Sutherland. In 1819 she married Richard Grosvenor, viscount Belgrave (1795–1869), who in 1831 became earl Grosvenor, and in 1845 second marquess of Westminster. Immense wealth and Grand Whiggery characterized her family. In 1879 she published an account of a yachting tour of Norway, Sweden, and Russia which she had made with her husband in 1827. She died at the age of 94 in 1891. Main residences: Eaton Hall, Chester; Fonthill Gifford, Wiltshire; 33 Upper Grosvenor Street, London; Motcombe House, Dorset.
Priscilla, Countess of Westmorland
Born Lady Priscilla Wellesley-Pole in 1793, she was the daughter of the third earl of Mornington and Katherine Forbes. The marquess Wellesley and the first duke of Wellington were her uncles. In 1811 she married John Fane, Lord Burghersh (1784–1859), who in 1841 succeeded as eleventh earl of Westmorland. Her husband was a professional diplomat, and Lady Burghersh spent many years in Berlin and Vienna, which reinforced her political conservatism; she did not find it easy to settle back into British life after her husband was recalled. The Burghershes were patrons (p.235) of music, being among the founders of the Royal Academy of Music. Lady Westmorland was one of the confidantes of her uncle, the duke of Wellington. Three of her four sons predeceased her. She died in 1879. Main residences: Berlin; Vienna; Apethorpe, near Wansford, Northamptonshire; 16 Cavendish Square, London.
Caroline, Lady Wharncliffe
Born Lady Caroline Crichton in 1779, she was the daughter of John Crichton, first earl of Erne, and Lady Mary Hervey. In 1799 she married James Stuart-Wortley-Mackenzie (1776–1845), a descendant of the prime minister Lord Bute, who in 1826 was created baron Wharncliffe. Her correspondence, particularly that with her son, James, reveals her to have been an active Tory, and an associate of Queen Adelaide. She died in 1856. Main residences: Wortley Hall, near Sheffield, Yorkshire; Wharncliffe House, Curzon Street, London.
Susan, Countess of Wharncliffe
The second daughter of Henry Lascelles, third earl of Harewood, and Lady Louisa Thynne, Lady Susan Lascelles was born in 1834. She married Edward Stuart-Wortley-Mackenzie (1827–99) in 1855, just months before he succeeded as third baron Wharncliffe. A conservative and a sportsman, he was created earl of Wharncliffe by Disraeli in 1876. If her diary is an accurate reflection, Lady Wharncliffe's life, which revolved around her husband's shooting engagements, was largely devoted to her husband and household; her only child died in 1857. She lived until 1927. Main residences: Wortley Hall, near Sheffield, Yorkshire; Belmont Castle, Perthshire; Simonston, near York; Wharncliffe House, Curzon Street, London.

The tragic death of Diana, Princess of Wales occurred on Sunday, 31 August 1997 following a car accident in Paris, France. The vehicle in which the Princess was travelling was involved in a high-speed accident in the Place de l'Alma underpass in central Paris shortly before midnight on Saturday, 30 August. The Princess was taken to the La Pitie Salpetriere Hospital, where she underwent two hours of emergency surgery before being declared dead at 0300 BST. The Princess's companion, Mr Dodi Fayed, and the driver of the vehicle died in the accident, whilst a bodyguard was seriously injured.
The Princess's body was subsequently repatriated to the United Kingdom in the evening of Sunday, 31 August by a BAe 146 aircraft of the Royal Squadron. The Prince of Wales and the Princess's elder sisters, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes, accompanied the Princess's coffin on its return journey. Upon arrival at RAF Northolt, the coffin, draped with a Royal Standard, was removed from the aircraft and transferred to a waiting hearse by a bearer party from The Queen's Colour Squadron of the RAF. The Prime Minister was among those in the reception party.
From RAF Northolt the coffin was taken to a private mortuary in London, so that the necessary legal formalities could be completed. Shortly after midnight, it was moved to the Chapel Royal in St James's Palace, where it lay privately until the funeral on Saturday, 6 September, in Westminster Abbey. The Princess's family and friends visited the Chapel to pay their respects.
Following the funeral service, the coffin then was taken by road to the family estate at Althorp for a private interment. The Princess was buried in sanctified ground on an island in the centre of an ornamental lake
Childhood and teenage years
Diana, Princess of Wales, formerly Lady Diana Frances Spencer, was born on 1 July 1961 at Park House near Sandringham, Norfolk. She was the youngest daughter of the then Viscount and Viscountess Althorp, now the late (8th) Earl Spencer and the Hon. Mrs Shand-Kydd, daughter of the 4th Baron Fermoy. Earl Spencer was Equerry to George VI from 1950 to 1952, and to The Queen from 1952 to 1954. Lady Diana's parents, who had married in 1954, separated in 1967 and the marriage was dissolved in 1969. Earl Spencer later married Raine, Countess of Dartmouth in 1976.
Together with her two elder sisters Sarah (born 1955), Jane (born 1957) and her younger brother Charles (born 1964), Lady Diana continued to live with her father at Park House, Sandringham, until the death of her grandfather, the 7th Earl Spencer. In 1975, the family moved to the Spencer family seat at Althorp (a stately house dating from 1508) in Northamptonshire, in the English Midlands.
Lady Diana was educated first at a preparatory school, Riddlesworth Hall at Diss, Norfolk, and then in 1974 went as a boarder to West Heath, near Sevenoaks, Kent. At school she showed a particular talent for music (as an accomplished pianist), dancing and domestic science, and gained the school's award for the girl giving maximum help to the school and her schoolfellows. She left West Heath in 1977 and went to finishing school at the Institut Alpin Videmanette in Rougemont, Switzerland, which she left after the Easter term of 1978. The following year she moved to a flat in Coleherne Court, London. For a while she looked after the child of an American couple, and she worked as a kindergarten teacher at the Young England School in Pimlico.
Marriage and family
On 24 February 1981 it was officially announced that Lady Diana was to marry The Prince of Wales. As neighbours at Sandringham until 1975, their families had known each other for many years, and Lady Diana and the The Prince had met again when he was invited to a weekend at Althorp in November 1977.
They were married at St Paul's Cathedral in London on 29 July 1981, in a ceremony which drew a global television and radio audience estimated at around 1,000 million people, and hundreds of thousands of people lining the route from Buckingham Palace to the Cathedral. The wedding reception was at Buckingham Palace
The marriage was solemnised by the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Runcie, together with the Dean of St Paul's; clergy from other denominations read prayers. Music included the hymns 'Christ is made the sure foundation', 'I vow to thee my country', the anthem 'I was glad' (by Sir Hubert Parry), a specially composed anthem 'Let the people praise thee' by Professor Mathias, and Handel's 'Let the bright seraphim' performed by Dame Kiri te Kanawa. The lesson was read by the Speaker of the House of Commons, Mr George Thomas (the late Lord Tonypandy).
The Princess was the first Englishwoman to marry an heir to the throne for 300 years (when Lady Anne Hyde married the future James II from whom the Princess was descended). The bride wore a silk taffeta dress with a 25-foot train designed by the Emanuels, her veil was held in place by the Spencer family diamond tiara, and she carried a bouquet of gardenias, lilies-of-the-valley, white freesia, golden roses, white orchids and stephanotis. She was attended by five bridesmaids including Princess Margaret's daughter Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones (now Lady Sarah Chatto); Prince Andrew (now The Duke of York) and Prince Edward were The Prince of Wales's supporters (a Royal custom instead of a best man).
The Prince and Princess of Wales spent part of their honeymoon at the Mountbatten family home at Broadlands, Hampshire, before flying to Gibraltar to join the Royal Yacht HMY BRITANNIA for a 12-day cruise through the Mediterranean to Egypt. They finished their honeymoon with a stay at Balmoral.
The Prince and Princess made their principal home at Highgrove House near Tetbury, Gloucestershire, and shared an apartment in Kensington Palace
The Princess of Wales had two sons. Prince William Arthur Philip Louis was born on 21 June 1982 and Prince Henry (Harry) Charles Albert David on 15 September 1984, both at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, in London.
The Princess had seventeen godchildren
In December 1992 it was announced that The Prince and Princess of Wales had agreed to separate. The Princess based her household and her office at Kensington Palace, while The Prince was based at St James's Palace and continued to live at Highgrove.
In November 1995, the Princess gave a television interview during which she spoke of her unhappiness in her personal life and the pressures of her public role. The Prince and Princess were divorced on 28 August 1996.
The Prince and Princess continued to share equal responsibility for the upbringing of their children. The Princess, as the mother of Prince William (second in line to the throne), continued to be regarded as a member of the Royal family. The Queen, The Prince and The Princess of Wales agreed that the Princess was to be known after the divorce as Diana, Princess of Wales, without the style of 'Her Royal Highness' (as the Princess was given the style 'HRH' on marriage she would therefore be expected to give it up on divorce).
The Princess continued to live at Kensington Palace, with her office based there.
After her marriage, The Princess of Wales quickly became involved in the official duties of the Royal family. Her first tour with The Prince was a three-day visit to Wales in October 1981. In 1983 she accompanied The Prince on a tour of Australia and New Zealand, and they took the infant Prince William with them. Prince William, with Prince Harry, again joined The Prince and Princess at the end of their tour to Italy in 1985. Other official overseas visits undertaken with The Prince included Australia (for the bicentenary celebrations in 1988), Brazil, India, Canada, Nigeria, Cameroon, Indonesia, Spain, Italy, France, Portugal and Japan (for the enthronement of Emperor Akihito). Their last joint overseas visit was to South Korea in 1992.
The Princess's first official visit overseas on her own was in September 1982, when she represented The Queen at the state funeral of Princess Grace of Monaco. The Princess's first solo overseas tour was in February 1984 when she travelled to Norway to attend a performance of Carmen by the London City Ballet, of which she was patron. The Princess subsequently visited many countries including Germany, the United States, Pakistan, Switzerland, Hungary, Egypt, Belgium, France, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Nepal.
Although the Princess was renowned for her style and was closely associated with the fashion world, patronising and raising the profile of younger British designers, she was best known for her charitable work.
During her marriage, the Princess was president or patron of over 100 charities. The Princess did much to publicise work on behalf of homeless and also disabled people, children and people with HIV/Aids. In December 1993, the Princess announced that she would be reducing the extent of her public life in order to combine 'a meaningful public role with a more private life'.
After her separation from The Prince, the Princess continued to appear with the Royal family on major national occasions, such as the commemorations of the 50th anniversary of VE (Victory in Europe) and VJ (Victory over Japan) Days in 1995.
Following her divorce, the Princess resigned most of her charity and other patronages, and relinquished all her Service appointments with military units. The Princess remained as patron of Centrepoint (homeless charity), English National Ballet, Leprosy Mission and National Aids Trust, and as President of the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street and of the Royal Marsden Hospital. In June 1997, the Princess attended receptions in London and New York as previews of the sale of a number of dresses and suits worn by her on official engagements, with the proceeds going to charity.
The Princess spent her 36th and last birthday on 1 July 1997 attending the Tate Gallery's 100th Anniversary celebrations. Her last official engagement in Britain was on 21 July, when she visited Northwick Park Hospital, London (children's accident and emergency unit).
In the year before her death, the Princess was an active campaigner for a ban on the manufacture and use of land mines. In January 1997, she visited Angola as part of her campaign. in June, the Princess spoke at the landmines conference at the Royal Geographical Society in London, and this was followed by a visit to Washington DC in the United States on 17/18 June to promote the American Red Cross landmines campaign (separately, she also met Mother Teresa in The Bronx).
The Princess's last public engagements were during her visit to Bosnia from 7 to 10 August, when she visited landmine projects in Travnic, Sarajevo and Zenezica.
It was in recognition of her charity work that representatives of the charities with which she worked during her life were invited to walk behind her coffin with her family from St James's Palace to Westminster Abbey on the day of her funeral.

DANN-I: New Single "Thinking Out Loud #EdSheeran #Reggae #[email protected] 2/17/2015
Leaving a group and transitioning to a solo artiste, while still surviving the obstacles is a remarkable achievement for any artiste.
You might remember Dann-I from the popular boy group Q. They competed and claimed the fifth place spot in the 2005 season of Digicel Rising Stars.
Nine years after, he has managed to maintain himself as figure in the entertainment industry. Though still fairly new in the industry, Dann-I has gained solo recognition through his chart-topping hits such as Uncle Come and Time. For this reason, he has proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
Born Damarah Danni, Dann-I is managed by Sonny Spoon, the main man behind I-Wayne's success. And he hopes to leave his own mark as an important figure in the music industry.
Fortunately for him, this year he was given the opportunity to grace the Rebel Salute and Reggae Sumfest stages. In addition, he is confirmed to perform at this year's Sting in December.
"Music, to me, is like a super power that heals and move a nation. For this i am happy for the opportunity to contribute to this through my music."
A past student of the St Jago High, Dann-I told Press Record that he loves to farm. So, when he is not doing music, you will see him farming in Hampton Green, Spanish Town, his hometown, with friends.

Late in July of 2011 Natasha Borzilova made her first appearance on Music City Roots which is a weekly, two-hour radio show that revives the historic legacy of live musical radio production in Nashville. Broadcast on Wednesday nights from 7pm to 9pm, CST, Music City Roots, Live From The Loveless Cafe showcases Nashville’s astonishing music scene, from country and Americana to more progressive interpreters of tradition — a “roots and branches” format that brings together fans of different tastes and generations. Presented live from the stage of the Loveless Barn, this show showcases purveyors of authenticity across many genres.
The show was called their “Girl Power” night as there were many female singer songwriters on the lineup including Tara Nevins with The Heartbeats
Frontier Ruckus, Lera Lynn, Angela Easterling & The Beguilers and .Amanda Shires
Journalist Craig Havighurst of String Theory Media wrote this about Natasha’s performance:
“Natasha Borzilova is a fascinating young artist. Russian-born and a veteran of some serious touring and attention as part of Bering Strait, she writes songs that defy conventions and turn unexpected corners. And if that doesn’t keep your attention, her big round and expressive voice will. “Balancing Act” was a highlight.”
Below is a video clip of Natasha performing the title track to her first solo release “Cheap Escape”. She wrote the song with label mate Donna Ulisse.

Since I began collecting in person autographs in 2006, I’ve interacted with hundreds of celebrities across sports, film and music. I respect them all.
I am a fan of many. I admire a few.
Talib Kweli is one of those few.
Regarded as one of hip-hop’s great talents and a man whose music I’ve had on rotation for a decade, it was a thrill to finally meet him. In Boston for a show at the Paradise Rock Club, I caught up with Talib at a Newbury Comics autograph signing where he was meeting and greeting fans in support of his latest release, Gutter Rainbows.
While waiting for his taxi to return with a forgotten phone, Talib took a few minutes to talk autographs with me. I appreciated his sincerity and candor and I thank him for being so generous with his time.

Ozzy Osbourne has lived a life that’s anything but ordinary. He has spent the last 50+ years as the godfather of heavy metal, first with the genre-defining Black Sabbath and then with his successful solo career. He even became a reality TV star in the 21st Century. All the while, Osbourne has been the self-appointed “Rock ‘n’ Roll Rebel,” living a life that, by his own admission, probably should have caught up with him long ago.
However, Osbourne has had a rough two years. He had to postpone his farewell tour after suffering a fall, in addition to dealing with a staph infection, the flu and bronchitis. Osbourne also revealed that he was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease.
With the state he was in, any new music from Osbourne seemed like a long shot. However, inspired by a popular 2019 collaboration with rapper Post Malone, Osbourne assembled an all-star lineup and recorded his first new music since Black Sabbath’s 2013 reunion record 13 and his first solo material since 2010’s Scream.
Entitled Ordinary Man, the album was recorded in less than a month and released in February 2020. Osbourne has called the record “a gift from [his] higher power” and “proof that you should never give up,” while crediting it with “saving [his] life.”
After listening to the record, it’s clear that even at 71, the Prince of Darkness has still got it.
Osbourne is the star of Ordinary Man, but the rest of the personnel on the album reads like a who’s who of rock. Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses) and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Chickenfoot) anchor the rhythm section, and there are guest appearances from Slash (Guns N’ Roses), Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave), Post Malone and even Sir Elton John across the album.
Osbourne has a history of working with some of the best guitar players in history, from Tony Iommi to the late Randy Rhoads to Zakk Wylde. In that respect, the decision to use Post Malone’s producer and occasional guitarist, Andrew Watt, on guitar initially seems disappointing. Watt has some big shoes to fill, and although he doesn’t compare to the pantheon of previous Ozzy guitarists, he more than holds his own. The record starts with “Straight to Hell,” a single that begins with a choir and keyboards (played by YouTube star Charlie Puth). Slash plays guitar on this one, and gets things going with a driving riff. It’s classic Ozzy, from the distorted guitar to the stomping rhythm section to Osbourne’s familiar refrain of “Alright now!”. In a twist of fate, Ozzy is singing an anti-drug song this time around, but sounds as chilling and strong as ever. It’s an excellent opener for the record, and sets the pace early. “All My Life” follows, and it’s a song that should have been a single. Osbourne delivers some of his most self-reflective lyrics (a theme that permeates the record) in a song that starts off as a ballad before culminating in a catchy rock chorus. This song is pure ‘90s era Ozzy, and could easily fit on No More Tears or Ozzmosis. Watt also delivers two strong solos on the song – he isn’t the next Rhoads or Wylde, but he proved he is capable of playing beside Osbourne. The album continues to roll with “Goodbye,” a song that combines aspects of Ozzy’s Black Sabbath days and his solo career. The track starts off with an Iron Man-style drum beat and Osbourne’s gloomy lyrics reminiscent of “Diary of a Madman.” Then, the tempo shifts into a rapid Sabbath-style interlude and a wailing solo from Watt. Nothing is really new here, but that’s not a bad thing – it sounds like Ozzy.
Osbourne has released his fair share of ballads, and some have hit while others have missed. However, “Ordinary Man” is in the “Mama, I’m Coming Home” and “Goodbye to Romance” class. Elton John plays piano on the track and sings the second verse. It’s odd to hear Osbourne and John, who have lived two of the most legendary lives in rock, sing about not wanting to be forgotten, but it features them at their most vulnerable. The song is one of the most heartfelt Osbourne has ever released. Slash also plays on the song, which elevates it even higher. If this album is Ozzy’s last, “Ordinary Man” is his indelible swan song. The album continues with “Under the Graveyard,” which was released as the album’s first single. It’s an odd choice, given the song’s slow build and depressing lyrics (even for Ozzy). Even the solo from Watt is fairly underwhelming. The song isn’t bad, but is a little too modern. The autotune on Ozzy’s voice is heavy, and it almost comes off as the rock version of Post Malone’s “Take What You Want.” The next song, “Eat Me” redeems things a bit. It starts with Osbourne’s harmonica, a tribute to his blues influences. The song is also McKagan’s spotlight, featuring a rumbling bass line. Although the cannibalistic lyrics are kitschy, Ozzy is one of the few that can pull them off. The album’s first real skippable track, “Today is the End” comes next. The lyrical theme is tired and the chorus sounds too much like an attempt at pop. Osbourne has stated that he writes his best songs about death, but it gets stale here. The record gets back on track with “Scary Little Green Men.” Tom Morello guests on guitar here, and plays a “Killer of Giants”-style lead that fits the sci-fi theme (fans of Ozzy’s TV days will remember his obsession with aliens and UFOs). Although the lyrics are strange, Ozzy delivers a compelling chorus, and the performances from Morello and Smith hold it down. It’s the hidden highlight of the record’s B-side. Unfortunately, the album doesn’t end as strong. “Holy for Tonight” is another generic gloomy song about one’s mortality that can be skipped, and “It’s a Raid” (featuring Post Malone) doesn’t live up to the hype. The memorable chorus is almost Green Day-style punk, but the song is ruined by a terrible overuse of autotune, distorted production and Ozzy and Post’s incessant profanity. The album also includes a bonus track, Post Malone’s collab with Ozzy, “Take What You Want,” but it doesn’t fit with the rest of the record.
Although the A-side of Ordinary Man is mostly a winner, the B-side is far more inconsistent. However, the album’s highlights are some of Osbourne’s best work in decades. All in all, it’s a solid album for a 71-year-old Ozzy. Longtime fans will have some quibbles, but they should also be grateful for any new music from Ozzy at this point. Making the record had a therapeutic effect on Osbourne, and if he’s happy, that’s all that fans should care about.
One thing’s for sure: The Prince of Darkness isn’t going away anytime soon.

One month after graduating college, I was fired from my first secretarial job in Hollywood.
In spite of that, I ended up with a successful 30-year career in television.
In my mid-50’s, I became a Life Coach… and I have never loved my career more.
One of the greatest limiting beliefs is telling ourselves that one mistake can ruin everything.
Or worse, we tell ourselves that we are too old to make a change. It simply isn’t true, and if you are looking for more evidence, here are just a few reminders:
At age 23, Tina Fey was working at a YMCA.
At age 23, Oprah was fired from her first reporting job.
At age 24, Stephen King was working as a janitor and living in a trailer.
At age 27, Vincent Van Gogh failed as a missionary and decided to go to art school.
At age 28, J.K. Rowling was a suicidal single parent living on welfare.
At age 30, Harrison Ford was a carpenter.
At age 30, Martha Stewart was a stockbroker.
At age 37, Ang Lee was a stay-at-home-dad working odd jobs.
Julia Child released her first cookbook at age 39, and got her own cooking show at age 51.
Vera Wang failed to make the Olympic figure skating team, didn’t get the Editor-in-Chief position at Vogue, and designed her first dress at age 40.
Stan Lee didn’t release his first big comic book until he was 40.
Alan Rickman gave up his graphic design career to pursue acting at age 42.
Samuel L. Jackson didn’t get his first movie role until he was 46.
Morgan Freeman landed his first MAJOR movie role at age 52.
Kathryn Bigelow only reached international success when she made The Hurt Locker at age 57.
Grandma Moses didn’t begin her painting career until age 76.
Never tell yourself you’re too old to make it.
Never tell yourself you missed your chance.
Never tell yourself that you aren’t good enough.
You can do it. Whatever it is that sets your soul on fire.
P.S. If you would like help discovering what “sets your soul on fire,” let’s set up a time to chat on a free consultation… because it’s never too late for a change.

I will also be honest and say that I have never seen Parks and Rec. Yes, I’m horrible, and yes, I need to get on it. But that being said, I didn’t love this book any less BECAUSE I’m a failure at watching really funny television shows.
Poehler recounts her childhood, her first attempts at comedy, her love affair with Tina Fey, her marriage (and in turn, her divorce), and her life with kids. All this with hilarious pictures, guest cameos by the likes of Seth Meyers, and random colourful (in more ways than one!) quotes. It was cute and funny and exactly what I needed.
Wow. That was a short review. But seriously, don’t let the lack of words dissuade you. Read this book. But beware, it’s seriously heavier (physically) than you would think. That’s some high quality paper, Poehler.
