A bizarre treat we had to share.
 
Bona fide polymath Paul Williams, one of America’s most underappreciated talents with legendary contributions to the worlds of music, stage and screen - performing the jazz standard “Here’s that Rainy Day” in full ape makeup while promoting his appearance in “Battle for the Planet of the Apes” on Johnny Carson’s show one night in 1973.

By popular demand, we present the 10th Anniversary Remix of one of Grand Theft Auto III’s most signature soundtrack selections, the classic aria “O Mio Babbino Caro” – now available on iTunes (European iTunes users, click here) and Amazon.

We would like to congratulate The Small Faces on their forthcoming induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, happening this April – and formally express our gratitude for lending us “Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake” recently as the score to the first GTAV Trailer.

A truly well-deserved recognition for one of the music world’s most underappreciated and influential bands.

Congratulations to all the other inductees for 2012 as well including Grand Theft Auto soundtrack veterans Axl Rose and Guns N’ Roses.

We’d just like to take a moment to send a special shout to Chris Sands – who recently dropped us a note via mouthoff to let us know about his inspirational story and about his incredible music project, “365 Songs”.

You may have heard of Chris before as the BBC had covered his battle with a rare brain tumor, via the 2010 documentary “The Man Who Can’t Stop Hiccupping”. Chris writes to us:

“...we found out I had a brain tumour, so I had brain surgery, leaving me with a cool scar but also leaving me numb over most of my body, I couldn't walk for a while. I'm on the mend now and have got most of my feeling back. I'm still a quite numb down my left hand side and especially in my left hand which leads me to why I am writing this email. I'm a musician, not a very good one but I love to play music, after the surgery I was laid in the hospital bed and I thought I would never be able to play guitar or piano or anything again. I was in tears listening to all my music on my PSP, the only thing that kept me going was Beaterator, I could sit there and though I struggled to even hold the PSP properly for a while, I could sit and craft the songs that would pop in to my head using it. After getting out of hospital I picked up the guitar again and was just about able to record small parts using the mic and the vocal record function, then copy and paste them and write parts over them. It was just what I needed to help me recover. So now I've started a project to write a song a day for a year and most of my songs have been recorded on my PSP using your excellent program.”

Truly amazing, inspiring and humbling. And better still, the tracks he’s been recording are really, very well done.
We’re particularly fond of this catchy tune – “a story about a man on a horse”, entitled “The plAIN and mountAIN” recorded on Day 73.



Please everyone check out his site at http://www.365songs.co.uk/.

All the best to you, Chris – please keep up the awesome work, best of luck with the remainder of the project and stay well!

In addition to the previously released Official Soundtrack album and Verve Remixed EP currently available on iTunes for download, we've just created an Official L.A. Noire iTunes Playlist collection of over 25 classic jazz and standards songs heard in the game.

If it's a tune you've heard on the radio in the game and it's on iTunes, then it's here in the playlist - from Dizzie Gillespie to Count Basie to Hank Williams, Peggie Lee and many other legends.

Click here to check it out on iTunes.

Enjoy all.
