Capitol Records Tower Building and the Hollywood Tower!

Today we go to the Capitol Records Building and take a night walk to the Hollywood Tower

#12 the Capitol Records Building and the Hollywood Tower! (8/24/16)

[esthergarcia]

Always loved the Capitol Records building. I had a co worker friend that worked for Capitol Records in the Quality Control dept where she had to wear headphones to check the quality of each record. She finally left Capitol Records for a government job with better benefits.I think it’s converted now into luxury apts with the same architecture in 2022. I forgot what recent year the conversion took place. At least the facade was preserved. How cute, Jah wanted to go inside the building❣️Thanks Jordan for filling in the details. ❤️🙏🏻

Thanks for the memories ! My first home was the penthouse of the Hollywood Towers while my brother Kelly was one of the boys on Lassie Show. Kelly and Jon Provost were cast from Hollywood Professional School as youngsters. My uncle Amerigo Marino worked at Capitol arranging and as a violinist on many recordings there. You tied the two together. The Golden age. Thank you!

Bogart died at his home after a long battle with cancer. Lauren Bacall took care of him throughout his sad illness. I cried when I read her autobiography, she was so young and was devastated when he died.

I've never been disappointed watching ur vlog! I guess it's because of the similarity we have in taste.

Ford Fairlane is such an underrated classic, great one liners threw out the whole movie and any movie with Morris Day in it is automatically good :)

i have been in that building...many years ago. We went on a field trip in my community college class on American music. Saw a recording studio with gold records on the wall.

Actually, The Beatles never recorded there, they were only on Capitol's label in the US

According to my research, Shelly wasn't too far off on the location of her star. It seems that the star is located on the east side of the 1700 block of Vine St. You've probably walked over it a hundred times.

[PeteBarth.WLAW]

Possibly Shelly was talking to you about the 'even older' record store called
Wallach's Music City, on the northwest corner of Sunset & Vine.
They had many separate booths with a turntable and a pair of headphones.
You could check out a LP, take it in and listen to the whole thing before buying it!
AND the more than two VERY fine recording studios are on the ground floor. The (More than two) echo chambers ARe underground in the basement level. They were very custom designed and made and are still today considered quite fine.
The light on top of the building has a secret. See if you can find it.

A long time ago, I was in Capital Records and saw all the records on the wall... really cool... Do they allow entrance anymore?

[racheldelgado]

Enjoying some of your earlier vlogs. 8-15. Like your shoes and Jah's coverups.

[greenpenns]

Jah looks adorable in his red sweater.

[olivergonzalez]

Hey that’s a cool building were thinking of the movie The Day After Tomorrow? That’s where it gets destroyed by a tornado lol

[MICHELLE-guqc]

I love your bandanna Jah should have one. Capital Records is the best building in Hollywood.

[melbfilms]

Love your vids mate any chance you can do a vid on herb edelman it would be great thankyou

[blazefairchild]

The story about the creepy guy + Francis Farmer look alike and a case of beer in the Hollywood Tower sounds like one of those weird moments in life that we have & look back on & think ...how did this actually happen to me ? I have a few similar stories that always happened when I was in some one else's car 😂🤣 😂 & thus glad I was sober for every ones sake everything ended well.

[dalebrown]

She might’ve been referring to the location of the original tower record
store...

Hey Jordan! I'm new to your channel but I've been watching it everyday and I'm digging here into some of your older vlogs. I love what you do! I'm originally from that area and know Hollywood so well, it's so cool to hear all of these amazing stories! One thing I wanted to add is that the tall rod at the top of the Capitol Records building has a red light on the top of it, and for years blinked in Morse code: H-O-L-L-Y-W-O-O-D. I wonder if it still does. I was there when Lennon got his star and Yoko flew in on a helicopter. Very cool! Keep up these great vlogs pal!
