Manfred Mann

Manfred Mann were an English rock band, formed in London and active between 1962 and 1969. The group were named after their keyboardist Manfred Mann, who later led the successful 1970s group Manfred Mann's Earth Band. The band had two different lead vocalists, Paul Jones from 1962 to 1966 and Mike d'Abo from 1966 to 1969. Other band members were Mike Hugg, Mike Vickers, Dave Richmond, Tom McGuinness, Jack Bruce (later of Cream) and Klaus Voormann.

Prominent in the Swinging London scene of the 1960s, the group regularly appeared in the UK Singles Chart. Three of their most successful singles, "Do Wah Diddy Diddy", "Pretty Flamingo", and "Mighty Quinn", topped the UK charts. The band's 1964 hit "5-4-3-2-1" was the theme tune for the ITV pop music show Ready Steady Go!. They were also the first southern-England-based group to top the US Billboard Hot 100 during the British Invasion.

Beginnings (1962–1963)
The Mann–Hugg Blues Brothers were formed in London by keyboard player Manfred Mann and drummer/vibes/piano player Mike Hugg, who formed a house band in Clacton-on-Sea that also featured Graham Bond. Bringing a shared love of jazz to the British blues boom then sweeping London's clubs, the band was completed by Mike Vickers on guitar, alto saxophone and flute, bassist Dave Richmond and Paul Jones as lead vocalist and harmonicist. At one point, the band included Tony Smith on bass guitar, Glyn Thomas on drums, and four brass members. By this time they had changed their name to Manfred Mann & the Manfreds. Gigging throughout late 1962 and early 1963, they soon attracted attention for their distinctive sound.

After changing their name to Manfred Mann at the behest of their label's producer John Burgess, the group signed with His Master's Voice in March 1963 and began their recorded output that July with the slow, blues instrumental single "Why Should We Not?", which they performed on their first appearance on television on a New Year's Eve show. It failed to chart, as did its follow-up (with vocals), "Cock-a-Hoop". The overdubbed instrumental soloing on woodwinds, vibes, harmonica and second keyboard lent considerable weight to the group's sound, and demonstrated the jazz-inspired technical prowess in which they took pride.

Early success (1964–1965)
In 1964, the group were asked to provide a new theme tune for the ITV pop music television programme Ready Steady Go! They responded with "5-4-3-2-1" which, with the help of weekly television exposure, rose to No. 5 in the UK Singles Chart. Shortly after "5-4-3-2-1" was recorded, Richmond left the band, though he would record with them occasionally later. He was replaced by Jones' friend Tom McGuinness—the first of many changes. After a further self-penned hit, "Hubble Bubble (Toil And Trouble)", the band struck gold with "Do Wah Diddy Diddy", a cover version of the Exciters' No. 78 Hot 100 hit earlier that year. The track reached the top of the UK, Canadian, and US charts. With the success of "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" the sound of the group's singles moved away from the jazzy, blues-based music of their early years to a pop hybrid that continued to make hit singles from cover material. They hit No. 3 in the UK with another girl-group cover, "Sha La La" (originally by the Shirelles), which also reached No. 12 in the US and Canada, and followed it with the sentimental "Come Tomorrow" (originally by Marie Knight) but both were of a noticeably lighter texture than their earliest output. Meanwhile, "B" sides and four-song EPs showcased original material and instrumental solos. The group also returned to jazz and R&B themes on their albums: their first, 1964's The Five Faces of Manfred Mann, included standards such as "Smokestack Lightning" while the second and last with this line-up, Mann Made, offered several self-composed instrumentals and a version of "Stormy Monday Blues" alongside novelties and pop ballads. With a cover of Maxine Brown's "Oh No Not My Baby" began a phase of new depth and sophistication in the arrangements of their singles. The group began its string of successes with Bob Dylan songs with a track on the best-selling EP The One in the Middle, "With God on Our Side", next reaching No. 2 in the UK with "If You Gotta Go, Go Now". The EP's title track reached the British top ten singles, the last self-written song (by Jones) and the band's last R'n'B workout to do so. The run climaxed with a second UK No. 1 single, "Pretty Flamingo", produced by John Burgess.

The group had managed an initial jazz/rhythm-and-blues fusion, and then had taken chart music in their stride—but could not hope to cope with Paul Jones' projected solo career as singer and actor, and with Mike Vickers' orchestral and instrumental ambitions. Jones intended to go solo once a replacement could be found, but stayed with the band for another year, during which Vickers left. McGuinness moved to guitar, his original instrument, contributing the distinctive National Steel Guitar to "If You Gotta Go, Go Now" and "Pretty Flamingo", and was replaced on bass by Jack Bruce, who had been playing for the Graham Bond Organisation for some time before a recent brief stint with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. In his brief tenure before leaving to form Cream, Bruce played on "Pretty Flamingo" and on the EP Instrumental Asylum (for which he and wind instrumentalists Henry Lowther and Lyn Dobson were included in the sleeve photo of the group), which began the group's experiments with instrumental versions of chart songs. Bruce was replaced by Klaus Voormann. The band changed record companies just afterward, although EMI quickly released an EP of earlier unissued 1963–66 era songs titled As Was (a play on the title of their then new 1966 album, As Is), a hits compilation; Mann Made Hits (1966), an instrumental compilation LP that included one unissued instrumental track; Soul of Mann (1967); and, most controversially, used session players to complete the unfinished track "You Gave Me Somebody To Love" (c/w 'Poison Ivy"—both sung by Paul Jones) which made No. 36 in the UK singles chart, upsetting the group—hence McGuinness's wry comment "Manfreds disown new single" on the sleeve of their next studio album for their new record label.

Mike d'Abo years (1966–1969)
Jones was replaced by Mike d'Abo in July 1966, and the group switched labels to Fontana Records, where they were produced by Shel Talmy. Their first Fontana single, a version of Bob Dylan's "Just Like a Woman", released in July, scraped into the UK top ten and reached number one in Sweden. Their new long-player, As Is, followed in October; the group's increased studio technique sidelined their jazz, soul and blues roots. The next two singles, "Semi-Detached, Suburban Mr James" and "Ha Ha Said The Clown", both reached the Top 5. Another EP set of instrumentals, Instrumental Assassination, was released in December. This featured original member Dave Richmond on double bass, but not Mike d'Abo, suggesting the sessions dated from a little earlier in 1966.

An instrumental version of Tommy Roe's "Sweet Pea" only reached No. 36 when issued as a single, and the follow-up, Randy Newman's "So Long, Dad", with its intricate keyboard arrangement, missed the top twenty altogether. Thus, 1967 was for the group largely an unsuccessful year in the charts, besides "Ha Ha Said The Clown" which reached the UK singles chart early in 1967. There was no album, as Mann and Hugg explored other avenues of their career, although their record company did compile the UK budget-priced album What A Mann (Fontana SFL 13003), a predominantly instrumental set gathering together a few recent singles' A-sides, B-sides, and instrumental EP tracks.

The following year 1968 brought two albums, the Mann–Hugg soundtrack to the film Up the Junction in February, from which an edited title track coupled with the rare B-side "Sleepy Hollow" was issued as an unsuccessful UK single; and Mighty Garvey! in July. They had a resounding success with "Mighty Quinn", their third UK No. 1 and third hit Dylan song, which also peaked at No. 3 in Canada and No. 10 in the US.

In June 1968, the following single, John Simon's "My Name is Jack", was recalled when the US company Mercury Records complained about the phrase "Super Spade" in the lyrics, which referred to a Haight-Ashbury drug dealer. The release was delayed by a week until the offending name was re-recorded as "Superman", but the UK hit single version retained the original lyric. Their December 1968 release, "Fox on the Run", reached No. 5 in the UK.

Frustrated with the limitations and image of being seen purely as a hit singles band (their last two albums failed to chart), the group split in 1969.

Aftermath
Mann and Hugg were already writing advertising jingles at the time of the group's demise, but continued to work together in a group format with Manfred Mann Chapter Three, an experimental jazz rock band described by Mann as an over-reaction to the hit factory of the Manfred Mann group. For a moment their musical worlds coincided: a TV cigar advertisement, a long track from Chapter Three's first album Travellin' Lady, and "A "B" Side", the flip of the old group's last single, all used the same riff.

However, the new group was short-lived and by 1971 after a second album (and an unreleased possibly incomplete third) they had disbanded and Mann had formed a new group. The original line-up of this new group consisted of Mick Rogers (guitar and vocals), Manfred Mann (organ, synthesizer and vocals), Colin Pattenden (bass guitar) and Chris Slade (drums and vocals). In its very earliest stages, the band was simply billed as 'Manfred Mann' and thus a continuation of the 1960s group. The quartet (as 'Manfred Mann') released their first single, Dylan's "Please, Mrs. Henry", in 1971. Their second single, Randy Newman's "Living Without You", was also released by 'Manfred Mann' in Europe, but by 'Manfred Mann's Earth Band' in the US, where the track became a minor chart hit. From 1972 onward 'Manfred Mann's Earth Band' was the band name used on all releases by this group, and they are considered a separate band from Manfred Mann.

Manfred Mann briefly reformed in June 1983, for an appearance at the Marquee Club in London to help celebrate the club's 25th anniversary.

In the 1990s most of the original 1960s line-up reformed as The Manfreds, minus Manfred Mann himself (hence the name), playing most of the old 1960s hits and a few jazz instrumentals, sometimes with both Paul Jones and Mike d'Abo fronting the line-up. Tom McGuinness formed McGuinness Flint in 1970; they had a few hits before disbanding in 1975. Both Jones and McGuinness have been mainstays of the Blues Band, which they helped form in 1978.

In 2009, the Manfreds (d'Abo, Hugg, Jones and McGuinness) joined Klaus Voormann in performing a version of "Mighty Quinn" for his first solo collection A Sideman's Journey, credited to 'Voormann & Friends'.

Split this article into sub-articles when enough information is present
My personal opinion and suggestion concerning this article length is:
 * keep a summary on this article for each country (the article will remain quite long);
 * for countries whose content would be enough to form an autonomous article, create a "main" article and move all of the most detailed information there; keep a summary on this article and insert a link to the main article;
 * I know this is a lot of work, but it can be done little by little, maybe starting from the countries having more content; I think this could be done at best by different people who are native of each country. Lion-hearted85 (talk) 13:58, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

 * I consider that especially the lists of dubbing actors per country is excessive, at least in this general article. I think those should be made into List of German dubbing actors, for example, and then linked from their respective sections here. Germany has a huge number of established professional voices for foreign actors, and while the list so far is excessive for this article, it doesn't remotely scrape the bottom of the barrel. --2003:EF:1704:7259:A5A6:13BC:7C09:4D59 (talk) 21:16, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

 * P. S.: I think such an own article should have the same list twice: Once sorted by dubbing actor, and once sorted by international star. Such would be necessary because in Germany, re-casting of an international star's standard voice are far from rare throughout the star's career, where:

 * an association with a certain voice may even be perceived in Germany as something like a certain period in the international star's career (example: In his 1950s films, Frank Sinatra was mostly dubbed by Wolfgang Kieling, but from the 1960s onwards, he was replaced by Gerd Martienzen and Herbert Stass taking turns on Sinatra.),
 * certain US directors will demand a different standard voice for the star only in that one director's films (examples would include George Clooney, who is mostly dubbed by Detlev Bierstedt, but in Soderbergh's films, he's dubbed by Martin Umbach instead),
 * a similar case to the last one is when the same actor receives a different standard voice whether it's a serious or a comedic role (example: In his serious roles, Steve Buscemi was mostly dubbed by Thomas Petruo, but by Santiago Ziesmer in his comedy roles.)
 * and when a German dubbing actor dies, not all of his roles will be re-cast with the same new standard voice (example: When Martin Schott died due to a car accident in 1982, Jooachim Kerzel replaced him only as standard voice of Jack Nicholson and Dustin Hoffman, whereas Randolf Kronberg replaced him as standard voice of DeForest Kelley). --2003:EF:1704:7259:A5A6:13BC:7C09:4D59 (talk) 21:42, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Abraham Ortelius

Britenburg
"a plan of Britenburg Castle on the coast of Holland". It looks as if it should be "Breitenburg Castle in the duchy of Holstein". See http://vitrine.library.uu.nl/wwwroot/nl/teksten/Tfol212rar.htm

 * No, the text is correct. The link you gave mentions one Heinrich Rantzau from Breitenburg contributed some maps from his region, not that Ortelius made a map of Breitenburg. The Britenburg plan does exist and has appeared in other atlases. The Britenburg or more correctly Brittenburg is the remainder of a Roman fortification built at the mouth of the Rhine at that time (near Katwijk). It is now submerged, but was apparently occasionally visible on the beach in the days of Ortelius and later. -Scipius 18:13 Jan 19, 2003 (UTC)

Death date
I have removed the date of death. It was listed as July 4. Has this been verified at all? The August 1 page lists it as August 1st, but I have also found June 28 listed on the web. Angela 21:47, 19 Aug 2003 (UTC)

As can be read in the obituary of Sweertius, which was included in the 1606 English edition of the Theatrum, Ortelius died on June 28, 1598, which I re-introduced in the text. User: Marcel van den Broecke 25 january 2006

 * Would that have been Old Style or new?--Henrygb 22:51, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Frankfurt Book Fair
The article states that the young Ortelius annually visited the fair in Frankfurt (presumably, the one -am-Main), but the Catholic Encyclopedia speaks of the great Leipzig fair in this context. How can this be resolved? Were there major bookfairs in both cities? Myron 21:23, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Ortelius' response to corrections from his readers
In 1979, Eisenstein (Printing Press as an Agent of Change, p110, note 213) wrote "Preliminary research in the Clements Library by a University of Michigan graduate student, Gail Bossenga, shows that Ortelius incorporated the corrections his correspondents spotted on an irregular and occasional basis, but did take advantage of addenda more frequently." Please add a note on my talk page if you know any more about this! Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 03:14, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

British Library exhibit and exhibit catalog
The current British Library exhibit, Magnificent Maps (30 Apr 2010 - Sun 19 Sep 2010) shows Ortelius' first map. The exhibit catalog, Magnificent Maps: Power, Propaganda and Art by Peter Barber and Tom Harper includes a picture of this map, along with a description, on pages 88-89, visible by searching inside at Amazon isbn:0712350934. That also points out a relevant bibliography entry: Robert J. Karrow, Jr., Mapmakers of the Sixteenth Century and their Maps: Rio-bibliographies of the cartographers of Abraham Ortelius (Chicago, Speculum Orbis Press, 1992) which I've added to the article. If anyone has a copy of either book, it'd be worth looking through for material to add. Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 22:23, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Answering Ganesh Watve
I removed your question and am answering it here. The United States of America declared its independence in 1776; the continents of North and South America were discovered by Europeans beginning with Columbus in 1492. These continents were named America in 1507. Australia was hypothesized all the way back to Aristotle. It appeared on maps long before Europeans first sighted in in 1606. What you think is Antarctica on this map is actually Terra Australis, the land mass that the ancients believed exist. Bob Caldwell CSL (talk) 18:52, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Continental drift
I have been trying to track down the actual passage where Abraham Ortelius first proposed a form of continental drift. Does anyone know where it is? The quote by W. J. Kious [Abraham Ortelius in his work Thesaurus Geographicus ... suggested that the Americas were "torn away from Europe and Africa ... by earthquakes and floods" and went on to say: "The vestiges of the rupture reveal themselves if someone brings forward a map of the world and considers carefully the coasts of the three [continents]."] seems to be fake. [Edit: I stand corrected. See below.] James Romm, A New Forerunner for Continental Drift, writes: "In a discussion of Plato's Atlantis legend which he published in the third edition of his Thesaurus Geographicus, a dictionary of classical place names, Ortelius suggested that Plato had described an ancient separation of the continents, and used this interpretation to account for the matching coastlines of the Old and New Worlds - a phenomenon which he may well have been first to point out." His citation reads: "Ortelius, A. Thesaurus Geographicus Leaf Nnn verso (Plantin, Antwerp, 1596)." But Ortelius's brief discussion of Atlantis contains nothing remotely comparable to Kious's quotes. Ortelius mainly points out Mercator's claim that Plato's Atlantis was America. - Eroica (talk) 09:31, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

 * I found it. The passage is in the 1596 edition of the Thesaurus Geographicus under the heading Gadiricus. My translation is not very good, but I think it captures the gist:

"Gadir sive Gades pars erit reliqua Atlantidis sive Americae insulae, arque haec non tam submersa, (ut idem refert in Timaeo) quam ab Europa atque Africa terraemotu et illuvione abrupta: et recta occidentem versus elongata videbitur. Quod si quis hoc Fabulam fabula compensare vocet, per me quidem licebit. Ostendunt se tamen rupturae vestigia, si quis harum trium dictarum terrae (adhibita geographica universalitabula) partium littora, quo se mutuo adspiciunt, eminentias [?] Europae nempe atque Africae cum concavitatibus Americae penitius consideraverit, adeo ut quis posset cum Strabone 2. dicere, non esse figmentum quod Plato ex Solonis sententia, de Atlantide insula prodiderit. (Ortelius 310, Gadiricus)"

"Gadir or Gades may be the remaining part of Atlantis, or the island of America, which perhaps were not so much submerged (as related in the Timaeus) as torn off from Europe and Africa by earthquake and inundation: note how it is clearly elongated towards the west. But if anyone accuses me of explaining one fable with another fable, I won't object. The vestiges of this rupture are clearly visible, however, if one consults a map of the world and considers more closely the shorelines of the three aforementioned lands where they face one another--that is, the promontories of Europe & Africa and the concavities of America. To such an extent that one could say with Strabo, Book 2, that what Plato, following Solon’s account, tells us about the island of Atlantis is not a lie." Eroica (talk) 10:30, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
