Gilbert O’Sullivan<\/p><\/div>\n

With the \u201cshelter in place\u201d order necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, many people are finding themselves alone because of the restrictions.<\/p>\n

Being \u201calone\u201d can offer a welcome respite from an ultra-busy schedule. Being \u201calone\u201d as a full-time option is a different story \u2013 especially when it\u2019s mandated by the government. \u201cAlone\u201d can go from a good thing to a very unsettling thing very quickly.<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, being \u201calone\u201d has been the topic of a slew of popular songs over the last century.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

There are songs with the title \u201cAlone\u201d by Heart, Falling in Reverse, Toto, Halsey, Pretenders, and Marshmello, and \u201cAlone Again\u201d by Betty Who, Dokken and The Weeknd. and \u201cAlone Together\u201d by the Strokes, Fall Out Boy and Daley.<\/p>\n

Other notable alone songs include \u201cAlone in the Dark\u201d by Sheryl Crow, \u201cBe Alone\u201d by Paramore, \u201cBorn Alone,\u201d by Wilco, \u201cTired Of Being Alone\u201d by Al Green, \u201cDrinking Alone\u201d by Carrie Underwood, \u201cLive Alone\u201d by Franz Ferdinand, \u201cHome Alone Tonight\u201d by Luke Bryan, \u201cI Drink Alone\u201d by George Thorogood and \u201cI Stand Alone\u201d by Godsmack.<\/p>\n

Two songs from a half-century ago were classic \u201calone\u201d songs — \u201cAlone Again Or\u201d by the L.A. band Love and \u201cAlone Again (Naturally)\u201d by Gilbert O’Sullivan.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlone Again (Naturally)\u201d is of course the iconic, monumental, masterful heartstrings-puller that reached #3 in the UK, and a stunning #1 in America spending six non-consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, selling nearly two million copies. It also garnered three Grammy nominations, no small feat in highly competitive 1972. This was Irish-born singer Gilbert O’Sullivan’s only American #1. It was the second best-selling single of the year in America behind Don McLean’s “American Pie<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

O’Sullivan won’t let this song be used in commercials, but he often authorizes it for movies and TV shows, which typically use it for comic effect. Movies to use it include \u201cGloria Bell,\u201d \u201cNapoleon Dynamite,\u201d \u201cSkylab,\u201d \u201cMegamind,\u201d \u201cIce Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs,\u201d \u201cStuart Little 2,\u201d \u201cOsmosis Jones\u201d and \u201cThe Virgin Suicides.\u201d It has also been used twice in TV shows — The Simpsons\u00a0(“The Wettest Stories Ever Told”) and Ally McBeal\u00a0(“Alone Again”).<\/p>\n

At least 100 artists have covered this song, including Anita Bryant, Sarah Vaughan, Johnny Mathis, Shirley Bassey and Neil Diamond. Pet Shop Boys did a version with Elton John, and Diana Krall and Michael Bubl\u00e9 recorded it together for Krall’s 2015 album \u201cWallflower.\u201d<\/p>\n

O\u2019Sullivan has a new self-titled album and was set to tour North America this spring \u2013 including a show this week at Philadelphia\u2019s City Winery.<\/p>\n

In a trans-Atlantic phone interview on March 12 from his home on the island of Jersey in the U.K., O\u2019Sullivan admitted that the tour was in jeopardy because COVD-19 was starting to raise hell in America.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s day-to-day,\u201d said O\u2019Sullivan. \u201cWe\u2019ll see. There is a decision that will have to be made at some point. The shows are lined up. We have two warmup shows here in England and then we\u2019ll come to the states.\u201d<\/p>\n

Obviously, the tour has been scrapped.<\/p>\n

It would have been his first North American tour in 44 years. But, just like his last U.S. tour, it has been scuttled by bad circumstances.<\/p>\n

“I had several million-selling singles and I was ready for my first tour of America in 1973,\u201d said O\u2019Sullivan. \u201cThere was a debate about whether I should go and do my own shows and play big venues in Europe or come to America and support the Moody Blues.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe decision was made by Gordon Mills, my manager at the time, and I had nothing to do with it. They decided that I should go out on my own \u2013 and that was a mistake. The tour began and then was called off.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the late 70s O\u2019Sullivan instigated\u00a0a huge lawsuit against his manager Gordon Mills whom he accused of ripping him off. \u00a0O’Sullivan sued his former manager on suspicion of the latter having “cooked the books”, failing to pay O’Sullivan all of his duly earned royalties.<\/p>\n

A lawsuit followed, with prolonged argument over how much money his songs had earned and how much of that money he had actually received. Eventually, in May 1982, the court found in O’Sullivan’s favor, describing him as a “patently honest and decent man”, who had not received a just proportion of the vast income his songs had generated.<\/p>\n

Eventually he won a \u00a37 million settlement \u2013 but he had taken his eye off his career and the hits had dried up. \u00a0He was in court again in 1991, when a rapper sampled\u00a0Alone Again (Naturally)<\/em>\u00a0without permission. \u00a0O\u2019Sullivan won 100% of the royalties and set an important legal precedent.<\/p>\n

Now, many years later, O\u2019Sullivan is still waiting for a North American tour to happen — and is still writing songs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m currently writing lyrics now,\u201d said O\u2019Sullivan, who is the winner of three coveted Ivor Novello awards in the UK, one for \u201cSongwriter Of The Year\u201d in 1972.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a 48-track recording studio on my property. Everything is analog. The next record could be made in my studio or in my producer\u2019s studio.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no idea what it\u2019s going to be about. I\u2019m writing all the time. I sit down at the piano and spend a day. I check in t 9 a.m. and check out at 5 p.m. Even if you get nothing, you\u2019re still practicing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe melody might determine what the lyric will be. It might be serios. Maybe it will be fun \u2013 which is what I like. I enjoy putting some humor in my songs.\u201d<\/p>\n

But for right now, O\u2019Sullivan is \u201cAlone Again (Unnaturally).<\/p>\n

The restrictions necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic have completely erased the schedule for live shows at venues.<\/p>\n

Troubadour 77<\/p><\/div>\n

Fortunately, a fix is possible via the internet which features a large array of concerts streamed live online.<\/p>\n

One of the artists who is reaching out online is Chester County native Anna Wilson and her duo Troubadour 77.<\/p>\n

Troubadour 77 is inviting music fans to join the duo for their weekly\u00a0“T77 SQUARED CONCERTS”\u00a0featuring songs from their new album, \u201cRevolution & Redemption,\u201d which was just released on April 10.<\/p>\n

The next edition of “T77 SQUARED CONCERTS” is scheduled for April 16 at 8 p.m. at https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Troubadour77music\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Americana duo, Troubadour 77, is the brainchild of Grammy award-winning singer-songwriters, Anna Wilson<\/a>(Piano\/Lead Vocals) and Monty Powell<\/a> (Guitar\/Vocals). Wilson and Powell have been married for 18 years and making music together as artists, songwriters and producers in Nashville for over three decades. Collectively they have written a dozen #1 songs and countless album cuts that appear on over 70 million records, have co-produced unique special projects that pay tribute to the Eagles, Billy Joel and the Countrypolitan era of music, and penned the international theme song for Habitat for Humanity.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Powell was a key creative force in establishing the mega success story of Keith Urban. He was his early producer and one of Urban\u2019s top collaborators for many years, earning Golden Globe nominations and countless industry awards for the songs they composed together. Ultimately, Wilson and Powell spent 25 years in Music City together, but it wasn\u2019t until after breaking away and retreating to their second home in the Utah mountains that they found a new muse that came calling so strong, they had to answer.<\/p>\n

In 2016 Wilson and Powell formed “T77” as they often are referred to, in an effort to carry the torch of the 70s Laurel Canyon, Southern California sound that is reminiscent of the classic singer-songwriters that influenced and helped define their generation, and that metaphorical flame was fully ignited on the band’s debut release, “Selma Avenue.” It all began when Wilson started revisiting the records of Jackson Browne, the Eagles, Firefall, Linda Ronstadt and many others, and realized how much she missed that sound and someone just singing her a great song.<\/p>\n

Even though Wilson is a \u201cNashville singer-songwriter\u201d who has listened to country music since she was a girl, she is also a Yankee girl who grew up just down the road from Historic Yellow Springs.<\/p>\n

It is said that every dark cloud has a silver lining. When Wilson tore up her knee while playing field hockey at the Junior Olympics in San Antonio, Texas in the 1990s, it was definitely a “dark cloud” kind of day for the young Chester Springs resident.<\/p>\n

Wilson, who had been a top-flight field hockey player at Villa Maria Academy, had dreams of playing for the United States Olympic Team but they evaporated when the ACL (anterior crucial ligament) injury ended her athletic career.<\/p>\n

The “silver lining” that accompanied her injury was her decision to start playing guitar. From humble beginnings as a singer-songwriter and self-taught guitarist, Wilson has emerged as a national-caliber recording artist. Wilson’s debut album “The Long Way” was released in 2003 on Curb Records.<\/p>\n
