  The Fortunes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Following on in the wake of Merseybeat, and the RandB of the Rolling Stones, etc., the Fortunes added another dimension to the sound of the classic pop song with their special ingredients of sophisticated orchestration, dual lead vocals and stylish counter-melodies.
During this period, the Fortunes were also the voices for the US Coca Cola adverts ("It's The Real Thing") still to be seen and heard in the US today.
During the Fortunes set, apart from sharing vocal duties with Rod, Bob leads the band through a tribute to his former group, including a version of the Badfinger-penned classic "Without You", made famous by Nillson, and more recently Mariah Carey.

 A Tale of False Fortunes (Enchi Fumiko) - book review
Set in Japan at the end of the tenth century, A Tale of False Fortunes (Namamiko monogatari) tells the story of Teishi, daughter of Fujiwara regent Michitaka, who is married as a girl to the young Emperor Ichijo.
He uses devious means (including false spirit mediums) to try to undermine Teishi's position, and lady-in-waiting Kureha and her lover, secretary of police Yukikuni, are caught up in his machinations.
Writing in 1965, Enchi purports to be remembering a now lost manuscript of her father's which she saw forty years earlier, a manuscript which "must have been a transcription of an older book from the Kamakura or Muromachi period, or possibly a fictional work by a not-so-famous literary scholar of the Tokugawa period".

 CMT.com : The Fortunes : Biography
However, with the explosion of the Beatles and the Merseybeat sound, the group quickly rethought its direction, adding keyboardist David Carr and drummer Andy Brown, and changing their name to the Fortunes (though their first single, "Summertime, Summertime," was oddly credited to both groups).
Unfortunately for the reconstituted band, psychedelia was becoming the dominant sound of British pop music and the squeaky-clean Fortunes were unable to make the transition.
The Fortunes switched labels again, this time to Capitol, where they hooked up with producers/songwriters Roger Greenaway and Roger Cook.

She demonstrates natural skill for it, and even in the fallen state of sin, she has her highs, both in the amount of wealth she steals and in the notoriety she wins in London’s underworld.

 Chewing Gum: The Fortunes of Taste, by Michael Redclift - Tundraco's Daily Living Guide to Book Reviews
Academically rigorous, yet eminently readable, Chewing Gum: The Fortunes of Taste explores not only how chicle-based chewing gum was developed, but also how its main ingredient, chicle is procured, and the plight of the chicleros who have the sticky job of extracting the chicle resin from the Chicozapote tree.
Originally, the chewing of chicle was a time-honored exercise of both the Mayan Indians and the members of the Mexican army.
Even today there is a market for 'natural' chicle-based chewing gum, and Redclift concludes this text with an overview of the economic and ecological implications of the growing demand for natural chewing gum on the Yucatan region, where most chicle is still extracted.

 The Fortunes of Perkin Warbeck, A Romance by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley : Arthur's Classic Novels
The fortunes, nay, perhaps the life, of a dear friend are involved in its issue, and I fear that it is adverse -- for you fly from pursuit, and methinks, though stained with dust and blood, that emblem on your breast is the White Rose."
He was brave; but the priestly garb having wrested the sword from his hand, circumstances had converted that active courage, which might have signalized him in the field, to a spirit of restless intrigue; to boldness in encountering difficulties, and address in surmounting them.
Now absent from the Queen, he was yet on the alert to further her views, and he looked forward to the exaltation of her son to the throne as the foundation-stone of his own fortunes.

 The Fortunes
The Fortunes were signed to the prestigious Decca Records label in 1963 and their first record release - under supervision of future Who and Kinks producer Shel Talmy - was a bizzare cover of the Jamies 1958 U.S. hit Summertime, Summertime (also attributed to "The Clifftones").
With this success, The Fortunes were able to undertake a package tour of the U.S.A. along with Peter & Gordon and fellow Brum group The Moody Blues who were at that time enjoying the international success of their hit single Go Now.
In early 1966, the Fortunes 7th single This Golden Ring was released and reached No. 15 in the charts but that year also saw a minor scandal erupt when the group admitted during an interview that session musicians were responsible for the instrumentation on their hit singles excepting the vocals.

 The Fortunes of Nigel
Almost immediately after completing The Pirate in October 1821, Scott began working on The Fortunes of Nigel, set in the reign of King James VI and I, whose 'rare mixture of sense and nonsense, pedantry and childishness, wit and folly' he thought had long merited literary treatment (letter to Constable, 30 September, 1821).
Critical reaction to The Fortunes of Nigel was decidedly mixed.
The Eclectic Review, Literary Gazette, and Edinburgh Magazine were warm in their praise, the latter judging it one of Scott's 'most brilliant and perfect creatures'.

 The Fortunes of Nigel by Sir Walter Scott : Arthur's Classic Novels
In this old play, two men of fortune, brothers, educate two young men, (sons to the one and nephews to the other,) each under his own separate system of rigour and indulgence.
From the Squire of Alsatia the author derived some few hints, and learned the footing on which the bullies and thieves of the Sanctuary stood with their neighbours, the fiery young students of the Temple, of which some intimation is given in the dramatic piece.
Such are the materials to which the author stands indebted for the composition of the Fortunes of Nigel, a novel, which may be perhaps one of those that are more amusing on a second perusal, than when read a first time for the sake of the story, the incidents of which are few and meagre.
