Oprah asked rock legend Billy Joel
 some really good questions to learn about how the successful musician creates such stirring songs. Billy who doesn’t see himself as a “rock star” didn’t object to Oprah calling him a legend in his own right, though Joel doesn’t consider himself the high-maintenance celebrity type. Billy when asked which of his songs are his personal all-time favorites mentioned he considers them all as children, each dear to his heart.

Elvis Presley

June 24th, 2008

Elvis Presley
 is certainly one of the most renowned names behind music. Even today, we are absolutely obsessed about this sensation who ruled the world for more than a decade. Elvis, in his childhood, was brought up in modest family in close association with his aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents. He got his first taste of music while attending the Assembly of God Church. He was 10 when he made his first performance at the Mississippi and Alabama Fair in a talent contest. In the meantime, his family, struggling money-wise, decided to move to Memphis, Tennessee in 1948, hoping for a better life. Things were quite hard in those days, forcing Elvis to work while attending LC Humes High School to help his family.

Jimi Hendrix

June 24th, 2008

If ever there was a guitar player who redefined this instrument for anyone who has ever played it before or since, it would be Jimi Hendrix
. Jimi’s exceptionally creative, powerful, psychedelic licks helped him reach a musical standard that has never been duplicated, and in his four short years as a recording star he established himself as a musical legend without equal. His performances at the Monterrey Pop Festival which established him as a star, and later at Woodstock were some of the most awe-inspiring in the history of live music, and history will remember Jimi Hendrix as one of the most influential albeit enigmatic and mysterious musicians who ever graced the stage.

Blues Guitar Players

June 24th, 2008

In the 1920’s and 1930’s, blues guitar players
 like Blind Lemon Jefferson, Son House, Robert Johnson, and Lonnie Johnson were the influential performers of the day. They used a slide which was often made out of a knife blade or the broken or sawed off neck from a bottle. Most of the music was improvised, and unaccompanied. The form of the songs were loose, and were rarely, if ever, played the same way twice.

White Music Artists Singing R&B

June 24th, 2008

To really understand the phenomenon of white music artists singing R&B
, you should begin with an examination of the motivation and purpose behind the establishment of black music divisions at record companies in the 60s. While the success of Motown as a black owned operation has been well-documented and highly publicized, many of the competing record labels of that time lacked the personnel to adequately exploit the abundance of musically talented black teens.

Robert Allen Zimmerman

June 4th, 2008

Robert Allen Zimmerman
 was born May 24th 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota. His father, Abe, was employed by the Standard Oil Company there, but when Robert was six the family moved to Hibbing, Minnesota.

Jailhouse Rock - The Most Memorable Elvis Presley Movie Rental

May 22nd, 2008

Jailhouse Rock is the first Elvis Presley movie rental I watched. I heard rumors, but I had to see for myself! Elvis goes to jail! If you want a look into the past at the raw Elvis during his early years, with the pencil pants then rent Jailhouse Rock. This will definitely give you a good look at “The King” during the earliest stages of his entertaining ability and lady-killer, good looks. Elvis plays a young man named Vince Everett, who winds up in prison after accidentally killing another man in a fight. With a lot of spare time and a little help from his cellmate, Vince (Elvis) learns to sing and play the guitar. After he is released from prison, Vince decides to take advantage of his new-found talents and persue the life of a professional singer and entertainer. This is the film with that famous “Jailhouse Rock” and “You’re So Square” musical performances that are used a lot in commercials. You can’t help but fall in love with the songs in this movie and with Elvis, of course, along with “The King’s” beautiful co-star.

Hound Dog - Is It The Best Of Elvis Presley Greatest Hits Or Most Controversial?

May 22nd, 2008
One of the Elvis Presley greatest hits that became very popular even before it was formally recorded was a song named Hound Dog. “Hound Dog” was actually on the flip side of what many considered Elvis Presley’s greatest hit and most successful single “Don’t Be Cruel”, with both sides spending 11 weeks at the top of the charts. Elvis Presley became controversial over the gyrating hip movements he did while singing “Hound Dog” during appearances on several different shows. Those gyrating hip movements would become his trademark even though they initially caused such a firestorm of controversy.
