Ebb Tide - Simplified Piano Solo Sheet Musicby Carl Sigman (Lyric), Robert Maxwell (Music)Publisher: Robbins Music Corporation 1953#: SH 3879-2Big Notes - Words - ChordsPaperbackDimensions: 9 x 11.9 inches, 3 pages"Ebb Tide" is a popular song, written in 1953 by the lyricist Carl Sigman and composer Robert Maxwell. An instrumental version by organist Kenneth W. Griffin was played in the fifth season premiere of the TV drama Mad Men.The song's build up is to illustrate the ocean waves coming in and out to and from the shores, due to the ebb tides.The first three notes are identical to the first three notes of the Erroll Garner song "Misty" (1954).This song is not to be confused with the title song from the movie Ebb Tide (1937), which is a composition by Leo Robin and Ralph Rainger.------------------------------------Robert Maxwell (April 19, 1921 February 7, 2012) was a harpist and songwriter, who wrote the music for two well-known songs: "Ebb Tide" and "Shangri-La (originally a composition entitled "Fantasy for Harp").Born Max Rosen, he was the father of modern dancer Carla Maxwell, artistic director of The Jose Limon Dance Company. He and his two brothers, Abe Rosen (1916-2007) and Myor Rosen (1917-2009), all played the harp professionally. Abe Rosen was known for his work playing in New York shows and Myor Rosen was the principal harpist for the New York Philharmonic for thirty years.Maxwell was born in New York City. Neither of his parents had been involved in music, but at age 10 he began playing the harp. In high school, he won a scholarship to the Juilliard School of Music. At age 17, he became the youngest member of the National Symphony Orchestra. He also gave solo performances in both New York and Los Angeles. Among the conductors he performed under were Arturo Toscanini and Serge Koussevitsky.He eventually found himself in the United States Coast Guard in a unit commanded by Rudy Vallee, giving him the opportunity to play the harp in a popular music context. Vallee arranged tours where he performed for servicemen, and he developed a talent for playing in a more down-to-earth style.He entered a contest on radio station KFI in Los Angeles, failing to make the finals but gaining second prize. This led to many appearances on radio, television, and the movies, including one summer as replacement for Frank Sinatra on the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) network.Maxwell went on to devising his own arrangements, and composed three songs which he is remembered: "Little Dipper" (1959, recorded under the name The Mickey Mozart Quintet) peaked at #30 on the Billboard Hot 100, "Ebb Tide" (1953) was a perennial favorite, and "Shangri-La" was a hit in 1957 for The Four Coins and 1969 for The Lettermen. Maxwell's own instrumental version, featuring an organ solo rather than his harp, reached #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1964.Another of his songs, "Solfeggio", performed by Maxwell's orchestra and the Ray Charles Singers, gained unexpected fame as the theme for Ernie Kovacs' regular comedy skit called The Nairobi Trio. The song was originally recorded in 1953 for MGM Records, which was the version Kovacs used; Maxwell re-recorded it for Kapp Records in the early 1960s, as "Song of the Nairobi Trio," credited to "The Fortune Tellers." In the early '70s, he changed his first name to Bobby to avoid confusion with the British publisher of the same name and issued LPs as such for the Command/ABC label under "Bobby Maxwell". Also wrote theme music for Australian National Broadcaster ABC-TV's "Four Corners" ("Four Corners" Theme [Lost Patrol]) issued on Columbia Records in Australia Columbia DO 4380.----------------------------------RecordingsThe best-known versions are by Frank Chacksfield & His Orchestra (1953), Vic Damone (1953), Roy Hamilton (1954), Frank Sinatra (1958), The Platters (1960), Lenny Welch (1964) and the Righteous Brothers (1965). The Righteous Brothers vocal version was the most successful, peaking at #5 in the US. Bobby Hatfield sang the lead on this song, and it was the final song that Phil Spector produced for the Righteous Brothers before they departed. This was a followup to the hit song "Unchained Melody" which was also recorded by Roy Hamilton.Sergio Franchi recorded this song at Webster Hall for his 1964 RCA Victor album The Exciting Voice of Sergio Franchi.In 1966 Italian pop star Mina recorded a version for her Studio Uno 66 albumJerry Colonna, Earl Grant, Matt Monro, Santo & Johnny and The Del-Satins featuring Johnny Maestro also recorded versions. In 1968 Ella Fitzgerald recorded it on her Columbia album, "30 by Ella".Ebb Tide was the intended A-side of a single by David Rose & His Orchestra. The Stripper, which became a number one hit, was the B-side.Ebb Tide was also covered by Erasure in 2003 in their album Other People's Songs.Ebb Tide appears as a hidden track on Bonnie 'Prince' Billy's 2006 album The Letting Go.A trumpet instrumental version is played by two clowns at the end of Federico Fellini's I clowns, Robbins Music Corporation, 1953, 3, NY: SCHOLASTIC INC Publishers.
