The Hollyridge Strings

The Hollyridge Strings was a catchall name for the band of generally interchangeable studio music artists who recorded some easy hearing instrumental albums for Capitol Information on the peak from the Uk Invasion era. The task was masterminded by music sector experienced Stu Phillips, a composer and manufacturer who previously headlined his very own group of Capitol easy hearing records including Body organ and Strings in Stereo system before departing the label in 1960 to be mind of A&R for Colpix Information, where he created some pop smashes like the Marcels’ “Blue Moon,” Shelley Fabares’ “Johnny Angel,” Paul Petersen’s “MY FATHER,” and Adam Darren’s “Goodbye, Cruel Globe.” In 1964 he came back to Capitol, where his familiarity and dexterity using the rock and roll idiom produced him the reasonable choice to profit from Beatlemania with an archive targeted at a far more mature viewers; the first Hollyridge Strings record, The Beatles Tune Book, was a high Ten strike, and led to similarly syrupy choices of strikes by Elvis Presley, the Seaside Young boys, the Four Periods, and Simon & Garfunkel. At one time, no less than three different Hollyridge Strings LPs hovered in the Billboard Best 20, and their achievement spurred copycat tasks from brands including Vee-Jay (the Castaway Strings), Liberty (the Sunset Strings), and MGM (the Fantabulous Strings). During his Capitol stint Phillips also headlined his very own FEELS AS THOUGH Lovin’, a traditional of ’60s smooth pop that added vocals towards the personal Hollyridge Strings audio.
