# Carl Hall (singer)

Carl Hall (June 24, 1934 - September 28, 1999) was an American singer, actor, and musical arranger.

## Background

Carl Henry Carldwell was born on June 24, 1934, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the son of Carl and Jessie M. (Johnson) Carldwell. He was raised in the West End of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Because of a reticence to talk about his age, his birthdate was not known to the public until after his death.
By November 1950 when his Social Security number was issued, he was also known as Carl Hall.

## Career

Hall got his start in music singing in church, as well as performing with choral groups at Herron Hill Junior High and Schenley High School. After graduating he was recruited as a member of Raymond Rasberry's acclaimed Ohio-based, gospel group, "The Rasberry Singers", recording on the American Savoy Records label. He had become the ensemble's lead singer by the time they released a single for Vee-Jay Records. Hall left the group to serve in the U.S. Army but by 1962, having demobbed, he was singing in nightclubs.
Hall also recorded a series of soul music singles in the 1960s and 1970s, starting with an unsuccessful period in 1964 with Mercury Records where one of his producers was Quincy Jones. A cover of the Frankie Laine track "I Believe" was released under the name C. Henry Hall. He was to be renamed Carl Henry Hall on his second Mercury single, "Summertime" and by 1965 he was billed as Carl Hall on "My Baby's So Good," co-produced by Jones. None of these made an impression on the charts, so by 1967 he and the label parted ways.
He then joined forces with leading New York R&B producer, Jerry Ragovoy - impressed with Hall's four-octave range to the extent that he helped him secure a contract with the Warner Brothers/Reprise subsidiary label, Loma Records. Together they cut the now much sought-after tracks, "You Don't Know Nothing About Love" / "Mean It Baby" (November 1967) and "I Don't Want to Be Your Used to Be" / "The Dam Busted" (Spring 1968), using a strong gospel-inspired style. Lack of promotion from Loma ensured neither did well, with the company subsequently going out of business months after the latter failed to hit. Ragovoy also produced another single on Atlantic in 1972 and then the following year, a now in-demand track called "What About You" on Columbia. He co-wrote and co-produced his final single for small NYC label, Martru in 1987.
Later in his career, as a session vocalist, Carl Hall can be found on the Lou Courtney classic “What Do You Want Me To Do” and various tracks by Stephanie Mills.
He performed in theatre over three decades, beginning with Tambourines to Glory, a gospel-based musical, in 1963. Hall also appeared on Broadway in the stage production of the musical The Wiz, among other shows.

## Death

He died in New York City on September 28, 1999.

# Company in a Courtyard Behind a House

Company in a Courtyard Behind a House (1663–1665) is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Dutch painter Pieter de Hooch. It is an example of Dutch Golden Age painting and is part of the collection of the Amsterdam Museum, on loan to the Rijksmuseum.
The painting was documented in 1910 by Hofstede de Groot, who wrote:
   286. SCENE IN A COURTYARD BEFORE A SMALL HOUSE (or, The Lovers). Sm. 61 ; Suppl. 25 ; de G. 6. In front of a small house with a red roof, red brick walls, and white pilasters, a gentleman and a lady, in a red jacket and yellow skirt, are seated at a small table. The lady, sitting almost with her back to the spectator, is squeezing a lemon into a glass of wine. The gentleman, with his pipe in his right hand, looks on with interest. Behind the couple an older woman comes forward with a glass of beer. At the corner of the house to the right a servant-girl, standing on a tub, is scouring a brass pot. To the right is a wooden fence with an open garden-door, above which rise some trees. To the left of the group is a hedge with trees beyond. It is a fine and early work, dating from about 1660–65. "The brilliant sunshine of a fine afternoon lends a peculiar charm to the scene" (Sm.).
   Signed on the bank to the left, "P D HOOG"; canvas, 24 inches by 18 1/2 inches. Imported into England by Chaplin. In the O'Niel collection in 1832, and in the Van der Hoop collection, Amsterdam, in 1842.
   Now in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, Van der Hoop bequest, No. 1251 in the 1903 catalogue (formerly No. 686).

# 1674 Polish–Lithuanian royal election

The 1674 Polish–Lithuanian royal election was an election to decide on the new candidate for the Polish–Lithuanian throne.
On November 10, 1673, Michael Korybut Wiśniowiecki, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, suddenly died in Lwów. The Polish throne was vacant again, so another free election was necessary. As in 1669, the main candidates were French Duke Louis, Grand Conde, Philip William, Count Palatine of Neuburg (both supported by Louis XIV of France), and Charles V, Duke of Lorraine.
Hetman John Sobieski, who was a very influential figure in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, did not express interest in the Polish crown, and before the election stated that he did wish to be elected. Sobieski was hated by Lithuanian magnates of the Pac family, who in January 1674, during the Convocation Sejm, demanded that a bill prohibiting native Poles (or Piasts) from running in the election should be introduced.
The fact that the Pac family promoted such a bill means that Sobieski was regarded by many as a possible candidate. His name was mentioned by envoys of the House of Habsburg, and by French newspaper La Gazette. French diplomats later stated that Sobieski himself hesitated between running in the election, and supporting the Grand Conde.
The election began on Saturday, June 19, 1674. Despite the protests of Lithuanians, the Bishop of Kraków Andrzej Trzebicki initiated the process, by singing the hymn Veni Sancte Spiritus. The next day, Sunday, June 20, was dedicated to religious ceremonies and behind the scenes negotiations. On Monday, June 21, the Bishop of Vilnius, Michał Pac stated that Lithuania agreed to the Piast candidate. In the afternoon of the same day, John III Sobieski became King of Poland.

# 17th and 18th Streets Crosstown Line

The 17th and 18th Streets Crosstown Line was a public transit line in Manhattan, New York City, United States, running mostly along 14th Street, 17th Street, and 18th Street from the West 14th Street Ferry in Chelsea and Christopher Street Ferry in the West Village to the East 23rd Street Ferry at Peter Cooper Village. It was not replaced with a trolley line or bus route when it was abandoned in 1913.

## History

The Central Crosstown Railroad was chartered March 28, 1873, and opened within a few years. The original line began at the Christopher Street Ferry and ran north on West Street (west of the Central Park, North and East River trackage), northeast on 11th Street, north on 7th Avenue (along Broadway and Seventh Avenue Railroad trackage), east on 14th Street to Union Square, north on Broadway (also Broadway and Seventh Avenue Railroad trackage), east on 17th Street (eastbound) and 18th Street (westbound), north on 1st Avenue (Central Park, North and East River Railroad trackage), and east on 23rd Street. Another line opened later, continuing west on 14th Street, including Bleecker Street and Fulton Ferry Railroad trackage west of 9th Avenue.
The company leased the Christopher and Tenth Street Railroad, which also ran east from the Christopher Street Ferry, on May 28, 1890, and the Central Crosstown was acquired by the Metropolitan Street Railway in May 1897, though not leased until February 8, 1904. By 1907, the line to the Christopher Street Ferry was gone, and the 14th Street-Williamsburg Bridge Line used the 14th Street trackage west of Union Square. Instead, 17th and 18th Streets cars continued south from Union Square on University Place on a remnant of the original Broadway Line, ending at 8th Street. Service was terminated in 1913.
