Scandium is a metal that has many of the characteristics of the rare earth elements, particularly yttrium. It is a light material with a higher melting point than aluminum, giving it uses in aerospace and other manufacturing, such as racing bicycles, baseball bats, and golf clubs.
Uptown by The Crystals Songfacts. This hit single from the Crystals' debut album, featuring lead vocals from  Barbara Alston, was written by the Brill Building songwriting duo Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. When producer Phil Spector got hold of the song, he changed a couple notes because no one could hit them.
The result of the sessions was the smash hit âTell Mama,â a song co-written by Clarence Carter. âTell Mamaâ was a Top 10 R&B record, and reached #23 on the pop chart. The B-side of that smash was âIâd Rather Go Blind.â Etta had a friend who was in prison named Ellington âFugiâ Jordan. On one visit to the prison, Jordan told her about an idea he had for a song. Etta finished the song, but gave credit to her then-partner Billy Foster (a singer in the Medallions) for tax reasons.
