95 años

Aprovechando la efeméride del 95 cumpleaños de la United Artists (5 de febrero de 1919), les presento en esta entrada a una joven y bella cantante, de muy seductores ojos, que se desenvuelve con asaz soltura en el terreno del jazz-pop.

De esta forma tan resultona nos contaba Katie Melua la historia con su tema "Mary Pickford". No me digan que no suena bien.

Su blog amigo, No todo es kippel, apostando una vez más por las nuevas generaciones. Porque no solo de oldies vive el hombre...

Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin y D. W. Griffith en 1919

Canción incluida en el álbum "Pictures" (2007)

"Mary Pickford (Used To Eat Roses)" (Katie Melua)

Mary Pickford used to eat roses
Thought that they'd make her beautiful and they did,
One supposes.

Douglas Fairbanks, he was so handsome,
He wore a moustache,
Musta had much cash, too,
Worth a king's ransom,

Charlie Chaplin, he was invited,
When these artists became united.
When these artists became united.

David Griffith worked as an extra,
Then as a stagehand,
Until they let him be
A director

Dave was brave, a mover and shaker,
A true pioneer,
He seemed to show no fear,
A real film maker

Just like Chaplin, he was invited,
When these artists became united.
When these artists became united.

They tied the knot together,
Groom and bride couldn't hide their pleasure.
They tried to pick fair weather,
But love died, didn't last forever.

Mary Pickford used to eat roses,
Thought that they'd make her beautiful and they did,
One supposes.

Douglas Fairbanks, he was so handsome,
He wore a moustache,
Musta had much cash, too,
Worth a king's ransom.

Charlie Chaplin, he was invited,
When these artists became united.
When these artists became united.
When these artists became united.

Lo sé, no podrán dejar de pensar en la United Artists.
