Welcome to PaulKorda

Welcome to PaulKorda.com
Paul Korda's latest song "CO2" written and recorded and the video posted in four days, was prompted by the Russian invasion, nuclear threats to Poland, and the build up in the Gulf.
The song questions if carbon dioxide from global warming is affecting our brains, considering the volatility of international confrontations, and the potential for nuclear war.


The public domain footage gathered here, is a reminder of the past insanity, that led to nuclear weapons production, and by no means reflects the current mentality of the people or leaders in present times, though the   seriousness of any military confrontation should never go unquestioned.
The Writing page has the lyrics and eight 'radio quality' songs from the forthcoming "Seeds'' album that Paul Korda began with Roxy Music guitarist Chris Spedding. "Seeds'' will soon be available as a CD, so enjoy them while they're free!
On the site you can read about all the fun Paul has had, writing and playing for singer Roger Daltrey, writing songs sung by Frankie Valli, Dave Edmunds, Robert Palmer, Elkie Brooks, Italy's Patty Pravo, and PP Arnold as well as singing and writing with guitar wizard Allan Holdsworth, and many others. Also as an actor in the Original London cast of "HAiR" to "Pirates of the Caribbean", ''The Pink Panther" and his recent spot in ''My Name is Earl'', as Gary, a ''black'' homeless man!
New samples of his CD "Not for Robots" are just waiting to be heard and they load quickly!

Hello Paul.

Thanks again and take care,

Gerald.

P.S. I love Underhanded

Dear Mr Korda,

I'm an avid collector of music, especially albums featuring those great session men: Chris Spedding & Ray Russell.
At last I've managed to purchase the air mail recording CD of 'Passing Strangers'.
I love it, a true masterpiece that's obviously never had the audience it deserves. A highlight to my collection.
Looking forward to your 'Seeds' CD.
Next stop Mike McGear's - Woman.
Cheers
Martin

"BEYOND THE DARKNESS":Paul Korda & the 32nd St/USC Choir

Recorded at A&M Studio A Hollywood, where "We are the World" was recorded, and on location in East Los Angeles, the music video was born out of Paul Korda teaching youngsters at the community centers of East Los Angeles, to outlet their frustrations through improvisational music creation. Seeing the benefits to the kids, brought about by this spontaneous creation, he then went on to write "Beyond the Darkness, with the intent of gaining financial resources for this form of education, and with the help of many, made this video, proceeds that will contribute to the Magnet School Program for the Performing Arts
There's little doubt that creativity can help steer our Earth back from the edge of destruction and help children to retain their innocence and build their character, avoiding the pitfalls of urban destructive behavior, especially that of abusive parents.
So support creativity by sending an email of the download and the artwork as your way of showing your support for the expression of kids through the performing arts and help the schools maintain their programs in the current state budget shortfall.
Directed by Emmy winner Linda Yellen, arranged by Phil Collins' keyboard player and film composer J. Peter Robinson, guitars by Michael Miller (Geno Vanelli, Chick Corea) Choirmaster Mark Johnston. Special thanks to Herb Alpert and everyone involved for helping to make it all possible. All the love in the World to the children of the 32nd St./USC Magnet School for the Arts and the children from the community centers of East Los Angeles, as well as all the children of our small planet.
