More than 25 years ago, retired music executive Joe Smith accomplished a Herculean feat—he got more than 200 celebrated singers, musicians and industry icons to talk about their lives, music, experiences and contemporaries. In 2012 Smith donated this treasure trove of unedited sound recordings to the nation's library.

The Joe Smith Collection contains over 225 recordings of noted artists and executives and is a veritable who's who in the music industry. They include Artie Shaw, Woody Herman, Ray Charles, Barbra Streisand, Little Richard, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Elton John, Paul Simon, David Bowie, Billy Joel, Sting, Tony Bennett, Joan Baez, James Taylor, Dick Clark, Tina Turner, Tom Jones, B.B. King, Quincy Jones, David Geffen, Mickey Hart, Harry Belafonte and many others. All types of popular music are represented—from rock ‘n' roll, jazz, rhythm & blues and pop to big-band, heavy metal, folk and country-western.


These candid and unabridged interviews have been digitized by the Library of Congress and initially are accessible +++ HERE +++ .

Thank you SO MUCH Jim!!!

I've just had the most wonderful hour doing something I rarely do.

I followed your link and poked around. Skimmed the list, found Roy Orbison. No recording: bummmer.

So I settled on Paul McCartney. (Settled!!!)

I have a large number of biographies / autobiographies of writers and artists.

My favorite is Paul McCartney's autobiography "Many Years From Now" (1997). It seems honest and unembellished, but the real attraction for me is that he gives his remembrances of EVERY Lennon-McCartney song's creation, even those given to other artists.

I also have a few other Beatle Books.

So I thought, well I'll listen to a few minutes of this, but of course I've heard all of this before. (Interview was done in 1986-1987.)

WRONG!

I knew the facts, but the way McCartney talks about the events (including Wings) was new to me.

The interviewer would ask a question or make a comment and Paul would respond with 5 minutes of his thoughts / reactions / motivations of that time.

This is one of the best interviews I've ever heard!!! (I admit that I'm biased because I'm a music freak.)

If I had one overriding reaction, it was that Paul McCartney is a VERY HARD WORKER!


Thank you again, Jim. What a Library of Congress link!!!

All of these audio interviews can't be this good. Can they???
