March 06,2007 WASHINGTON -- They say a picture is worth a thousand words. But what about an original sound recording? Twenty-five culturally important recordings -- including an episode of "The Lone Ranger," President Franklin D. Roosevelt's address to Congress the day after the Pearl Harbor attack and one of the Rolling Stones' most famous songs -- were selected Tuesday for preservation in a special sound archive.
Every year the Librarian of Congress chooses a variety of sound recordings to include in the National Recording Registry. The recordings are nominated by members of the public and a panel of music, sound and preservation experts, the library's National Recording Preservation Board.
The 2006 additions to the registry are:
--"Uncle Josh and the Insurance Agent," Cal Stewart (1904).
--"Il mio tesoro," John McCormack, orchestra conducted by Walter Rogers (1916).
--National Defense Test, September 12, 1924 (1924).
--"Black Bottom Stomp," Jelly Roll Morton's Red Hot Peppers (1926).
--"Wildwood Flower," The Carter Family (1928).
--"Pony Blues," Charley Patton (1929).
--"You're the Top," Cole Porter (1934).
--"The Osage Bank Robbery," episode of "The Lone Ranger" (Dec. 17, 1937).
--Address to Congress, Dec. 8, 1941, Roosevelt (1941)
--Native Brazilian Music, recorded under the supervision of Leopold Stokowski (1942).
--"Peace in the Valley," Red Foley and the Sunshine Boys (1951).
--Chopin Polonaise, op. 40, no. 1 ("Polonaise militaire"), Artur Rubinstein (1952).
--"Blue Suede Shoes," Carl Perkins (1955).
--Interviews with William "Billy" Bell, recorded by Edward D. Ives (1956).
--"Howl," Allen Ginsberg (1959).
--"The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart," Bob Newhart (1960)
--"Be My Baby," The Ronettes (1963).
--"We Shall Overcome," Pete Seeger (1963) recording of Pete Seeger's June 8, 1963, Carnegie Hall concert.
--"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," Rolling Stones. (1965)
--"A Change is Gonna Come," Sam Cooke (1965).
--"Velvet Underground and Nico," Velvet Underground (1967).
--"The Eighty-Six Years of Eubie Blake," Eubie Blake (1969).
