“I’d like to be remembered as the Dreaded Marcel Stellman,” Marcel Stellman once told me. “That’s what Spike Milligan called me. I produced I’m Walking Backwards for Christmas with the Goons in 1956 and I thought it would be a Christmas release. Spike insisted that it came out in the summer. It was a Top 10 hit and we followed it with The Ying Tong Song.”
Stellman, who has died aged 96, had a long career in the music industry, both as a record executive and producer with Decca, and as a song lyricist whose hits included Tulips from Amsterdam. He was also, unexpectedly, the man who brought the popular television show Countdown to the UK.
Dolly Parton will honour the women in Latin music during an upcoming two-hour TV special. The 9 to 5 hitmaker has taped a special message which will be played during the Latin GRAMMY Celebra Ellas y su Musica show on 9 May. The country queen will also introduce a performance that features Aida Cuevas and Ana Barbara, while Chiquis Rivera will hit the stage for a new version of Parton s hit Jolene, which she first re-recorded as a duet with Becky G. You think of country music and you think Dolly, Rivera told Billboard when she and Becky G first released the song. We both loved the song and it happened so organically. I was happy because we can bring something new to the song, which is great as it is, but together we brought the Latino flavour with Cumbia.
