message: This is just a placeholder for links to the Dawn Penn interview at United Reggae

It details the 1994 release of the Steely and Clevie version of "No No No". Though not extensive on the details it does mention the sum she was paid for the 1994 recording which was a $1000 dollars. She doesn't say whether that was flat fee or that she receives royalties after it became a hit in Europe and elsewhere. The implication from the tone of the interview is that it was a flat fee.
Dawn Penn mentions that because it was never a hit (in the sense of "worldwide") when it was first released in 1967 and that after the 1994 version by Steely and Clevie became a hit - twelve people stepped forward to claim authorship including one who was 6 years old when it was first released. She had performed the song for over three decades with not a single problem until it became a hit.
Very interesting (IMO) and because it is a Steely and Clevie produced track some of the details should be included here as well as a link to the Dawn Penn article.
When I did the Ernest Ranglin article I read through a lot of interviews in which I got the impression that Island had a reputation for paying royalties to artists and was one of the few labels to do so. It would be a shame if Heartbeat and Studio One made more than the $1000 paid to Dawn Penn and didn't cut the cake a bit more fairer. An interesting aspect that may be worked into the respective articles though ofcourse with a NPOV.

message: I skimmed through a few history versions and noticed that she is/was referred to as "Anglo-Irish" (including at her husband Michel Noll's bio) and as Irish nationality.

I have added her birth as being in London - and mentioned how she later acquired Irish citizenship, per an existing ref where both she and the journalist thought it important to include.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 23:59, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Carr Van Anda

message: One of the main complaints that women have is existing bias. Women are made invisible, and that results in the site only having 9% cis-female editors. Its shit like this:
"On April 11, 1898, Van Anda married Louise Shipman Drane, who was born in Frankfort, Kentucky, on November 26, 1873, to George Canning Drane and Mary Shipman. They had a son, Paul Drane Van Anda (born March 30, 1899). Van Anda died of a heart attack in 1945 immediately upon learning of his daughter's death."
The very first time the daughter is mentioned, it is in the sentence describing his heart attack.  The son was mentioned previously- why not the daughter? 2601:645:781:2960:A1BA:DEBF:2655:FE90 (talk) 10:49, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Carter Brown

message: A date of birth , and some other interesting biographic data 
for Alan Geoffrey Yates , can be found 
 here , 
including references to newspaper articles (obituaries ?) . 
That page looks like a good addition to the "external links" list too . 
If Wikipedia isn't going to have a separate page for Yates , 
which seems likely , why not put some of his biographic 
data (birth and death dates , wife's & parent's names , 
WW-II Royal Navy service, 1942-47, etc) in a section 
titled "personal life" or something like that ? 
Rather than an actual picture of Yates , a reader might 
find it more informative to see one of the 
less "salacious" Carter Brown book covers 
instead , in the little "key details" box ? 
The top image 
 here 
, featuring a woman wearing a yellow dress and 
long gloves , illustrates what I have in mind 
(the authors name at the top , the word "murder" , 
and the shape of a "pretty woman" are all still clearly 
visible when the image is reduced to 200x300 pixels) 
The key biographic details in the box could be 
 birth-name : Alan Geoffrey Yates 
 pen-names : Carter Brown , Peter Carter-Brown , Tod Conway , Paul Valdez 
 born : 01 August 1923 ; Ilford, Essex, England 
 died : 05 May 1985 ; Australia 
Could wikipedia ask the publisher for the right to use 
that book cover (or another one -  there are many of 
them  online) 
to "memorialize" Carter Brown (or 
possibly to increase sales or appreciation of his work !?) . 
It won't be easy ... I imagine the artist (or his estate) 
would have to release the image ... but they could 
get mentioned in the box , too .

*Carpenter's biographer Howard Pollack says, "The Carpenters subsequently spent the following winter (1907-8) in Rome, so that John could study with Elgar. They probably arrived in December 1907." (Skyscraper Lullaby: The Life and Music of John Alden Carpenter, 1995, p. 48).
