George Harrison and Ravi Shankar's Concert For Bangladesh 35th Anniversary Commemorated Today at Madison Square Garden

Today marks the 35th Anniversary of George Harrison and Ravi Shankar's Concert For Bangladesh. The concert took place on August 1st, 1971 at New York City's Madison Square Garden. The show featured performances by George, Ravi Shankar, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Leon Russell and Billy Preston.

Olivia Harrison said, "The 30th anniversary was very much on George's mind back in 2001 and I am honoured to have helped complete the project on his behalf. We have done our best to maximize the effort they made all those years ago, which has not only benefited thousands of people but became a model for charitable events over the last three decades. This anniversary re-issue has generated more funds for UNICEF, as well as renewed the recognition I think George and Ravi deserve for responding to the humanitarian crisis of that time."

"When new Bangla Desh was born and hundreds of thousands of refugees started pouring into India, I was so pained seeing the suffering of these innocent people and my heart went out to them," added Ravi Shankar. "I wanted to help in whatever way I could and do something to raise money for the refugees. I was going to arrange a concert and play myself with perhaps a few friends. Dear George was in Los Angeles at that time and was visiting me. He saw the pain and anguish in me and was very concerned. I explained to George what was happening and asked for his help. Seeing my plight, he started to phone everyone. What happened afterwards is history. One day, no one knew of Bangla Desh and the next day the whole world was talking about it. Concert For Bangla Desh is very close to my heart as it was my conception and baby, and thanks to George it became as big as it did!"

"The Concert For Bangladesh - George Harrison & Friends," released on DVD and CD last autumn, was recently certified 3 times platinum by the RIAA. All artists' royalties from the sales of the DVD and the CD continue to go to UNICEF. In commemoration, Ravi Shankar and Ringo Starr were presented with plaques, in New York and Los Angeles respectively.

"UNICEF is honored to have been a part of this Concert and proud that 35 years later we are celebrating the humanitarian work of George Harrison," said Chip Lyons, President of US Fund for UNICEF. "Children's lives, in Bangladesh and beyond, have been saved and improved thanks to the funds raised by The Concert For Bangladesh."

Madison Square Garden has also marked the day with a permanent plaque commemorating the 35th Anniversary of the Concert For Bangladesh in their "Walk of Fame."

"In 1971, at the behest of Ravi Shankar, when George Harrison pulled together musicians like Bob Dylan, fellow Beatle Ringo Starr and Eric Clapton to perform at Madison Square Garden for The Concert For Bangladesh, he created the template for all of the many music benefits that have followed," said Jay Marciano, president, MSG Entertainment. "We are proud to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Concert For Bangladesh on our Walk of Fame. Today, August 1st, the concert anniversary, George Harrison's wife, Olivia Harrison, is here to help us remember how music can help create change. It's events and benefits like these that make Madison Square Garden such a special place for both artists and fans."

Presented to Mrs. Harrison today, who said, "It is truly heartening that the significance of The Concert For Bangladesh -- and the pioneering spirit of George, Ravi Shankar and their friends, still resonates after 35 years."

This One's for the Dogs... Literally

-- Walt Disney Home Entertainment presents "The Shaggy Dog" on DVD today and introduces a Disney first, a Bark Along "Bone-Us Feature" -- made especially for the family dog to enjoy! This special feature combines fun footage of Disney dogs playing, jumping and having fun, with a "barking and woofing" audio track option created especially for the entertainment of the canines in the house -- with or without their owners!

"The dogs really respond excitedly to the Bark Along," says professional trainer, Ray Beal of Birds & Animals Unlimited. "It is very entertaining and makes great company when you have to be away from them."

For the humans in the family there is an alternate audio track on the Bark Along that features a new version of the song "Woof There It Is" with new lyrics created especially for "The Shaggy Dog." Additional bonus features include: deleted scenes; bloopers and hilarious outtakes from the set; and director/producer feature audio commentary.

"The Shaggy Dog" is the fresh, funny update of one of Disney's most beloved family comedy classics. Starring the ever-popular Tim Allen ("The Santa Clause," TV's "Home Improvement"), "The Shaggy Dog" follows the hysterically hairy adventures of Deputy D.A. Dave Douglas (Allen), a workaholic trial lawyer and sometimes distant dad, who by a strange accident turns into a big shaggy dog.

Lloyd Inks Worldwide Deal With Atlantic via Jazze Pha's Sho'Nuff Records; Acclaimed Atlanta R&B Singer Preps Label Debut as "You" Takes Off at Radio

Atlantic Records has signed acclaimed Atlanta-based R&B vocalist and songwriter Lloyd to a long-term, exclusive worldwide recording contract through a pact with Sho'Nuff Records. The creative force behind Sho'Nuff is ace producer Jazze Pha, famed for his work with Nelly, Ludacris, OutKast, Usher, T.I., Lil Wayne, Field Mob, Ciara, and many others. Lloyd is currently at work on his Sho'Nuff/Atlantic debut, while his new single, "You," is rapidly building airplay momentum at radio stations across the country.

In announcing the signing, Atlantic Chairman/CEO Craig Kallman commented: "I am very happy to welcome Lloyd into the Atlantic family. He is an amazing singer and a gifted songwriter, with a hugely charismatic personality. Although he's only 20, Lloyd has been a recording artist for almost a decade, and it shows in the genuine soulfulness and depth of his music. He is about to come into his own as a major star, and we're thrilled to join with Sho'Nuff Records and Jazze Pha to bring Lloyd the breakthrough success he has long deserved."

"When surrounded by greatness, you're destined for it," said Lloyd. "Not only am I now in the company of my peers at Atlantic Records -- with the likes of T.I., Gnarls Barkley, Juvenile, Lupe Fiasco, Trey Songz and so many others -- but through Henry 'Noonie' Lee and Jazze Pha's Sho'Nuff, I'm also presented with the opportunity to create my own legacy with my company, Young Goldie Productions. We will make history. For there are only two kinds of people in this world, spectators and players. So let's play!"

"I believe that with Lloyd, we at Sho'Nuff are in a perfect world," noted Jazze Pha. "I say this because Lloyd is someone I respect and admire not only as an artist and songwriter, but as a young business person who is very in tune with the music of tomorrow. The fact that he has the sound and the look, that he can pull his records off live on stage, and that he is a real 'people person' all come together to make him an exceptional talent. Sho'Nuff!"

Born in New Orleans, Lloyd Harlin Polite Jr. moved to Atlanta with his mother and sister when he was two, following the death of his father. At the age of ten, he was recruited for the quartet N-Toon, put together by Klymaxx's Joyce Irby. Lloyd made his recording debut at 14 on their 2000 album, "TOON TIME." When the teen group disbanded, Lloyd set his sights on a solo career. His debut album, "SOUTHSIDE," was released in 2004 and featured the hit title track -- a duet with Ashanti -- and "Hey Young Girl." Since then, Lloyd has been featured on singles by Ja Rule ("Caught Up") and Tango Redd ("Let's Cheat").
