70s Music Hits are Unique in Modern Era

September 2nd, 2010

As a man born in the 1970s, I didn’t have much experience with 70s music hits when they first came out, because I was just a baby or small child. I have always looked back on the music of the 70s with fondness, however, because there were great rock n’ roll songs, but it was also the era of disco music and the era that saw the birth of heavy metal.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I am not a huge fan of disco music, but I do think that it has an interesting sound, and I am a huge fan of heavy metal. It is generally acknowledged that such bands as Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple were the originators of this particular brand of music, and that it was started in the 1970’s.

In terms of actual 70s music hits from the heavy metal genre of music, the first one that comes to mind for me is Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man.” With the intense guitar riffs and Ozzy Osbourne belting out those lyrics, how could you not fall in love?

Oddly enough, the first song that comes to mind when I think about 70s music hits is not from heavy metal or disco. It was a from a one-hit wonder group called Player, and the song was “Baby Come Back.”

The reason that this is always the first song that comes to mind when I think about hits from the decade of the 1970s is because I was once sent a link to a web site that told you what song was number one on the Billboard charts on the day you were born.

“Baby Come Back” was that song for me, and I believe that it was the only song the group Player ever had that reached number one on the Billboard charts, interestingly enough.

Disco is usually the most recognized music of the 70s, and most people that I have met either really liked it or really hated it. One thing is for certain, though, while it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between certain styles of music, nobody would ever confuse a disco song with anything else.

The 1970s is also the decade associated with the emergence of Outlaw Country, with such performers as Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, David Allan Coe and Billy Joe Shaver. One of my favorite albums from this era was Willie Nelson’s “Red Headed Stranger” in 1975. It had two 70s music hits, including “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain.”

I guess what I love the most about the decade’s music was that it typically made you feel pretty good. Lyrics were usually meaningful, and the music itself was empowering, and it was not just the 70s music hits that made you feel that way; it was most of the music from that decade.

Modern Rock Started With 80s Pop Music

August 28th, 2010

Most music experts agree that Modern Rock or Alternative Rock as we know it today began with bands like Frankie Goes to Hollywood and their catchy dance hit “Relax” or Level 42 (another one hit wonder) with “Something About You”. The Fixx had many great songs during the 80s and started it with “Stand of Fall” and “Red Skies at Night”. Wang Chung gave us “Everybody Wang Chung Tonight” and “To Live and Die in L.A.” while Duran Duran rocked arenas around the world with hits like “Save a Prayer” and “Rio”.

The late 80s pop music scene brought us Squeeze and their big hit “Tempted” as well as U2, who kept rocking with “With or Without You”, “Pride (In the Name of Love)” and many other huge hits. Prince continued rocking with “Raspberry Beret” while the Human League brought us “Don’t You Want Me (Baby)”. Another one hit wonder, ‘Til Tuesday came out with the moody “Voices Carry”, a favorite of Modern Rock FM radio.

History of Roxy Music

July 6th, 2010

The 1970s was the time for glam rock and Roxy Music was one of the most successful bands around. The band have disbanded and re-formed for different projects over the years. The debonair Bryan Ferry was the charismatic front man and he has also sustained a solo career. Ferry founded the band along with Brian Eno, who later left and became a sought after record producer. Their debut single was Virginia Plain. Other members included Phil Manzanera, Andy Mackay and Paul Thompson.

There have been a number of live albums released over the years, the next best thing to listening to Roxy Music live. The first one was Viva, released in 1976 and recorded at the Apollo in Glasgow, City Hall in Newcastle and Wembley Arena. The record features Do the Strand. The High Road is an EP, released in 1983, and again, recorded at the Glasgow Apollo. The four tracks are Can’t Let Go, My Only Love, the Neil young penned Like a Hurricane and Jealous Guy, the John Lennon song that Bryan Ferry had released as a solo record. The Heart Still Beating album from 1990 was pieced together from various performances in Europe during 1982.

Music and Musicians in the 50s

March 8th, 2010

The 1950s, it seems like such a long time to the 80s and the 90s child but not so to old timers. One of the most memorable things about the 50s was the Beat Culture. In the 50s, hot-rodders and Beats provided inspiration, even in music. The 1950s music scene reverberated to the beat with names like Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Pat Boone, and Patti Page among other legends. This was the time of the Franks, with such names as Frank Sinatra, Frankie Laine and Frank Loesser coming clearly to mind.

1950s music is well remembered for a good number of hit songs with such titles as ‘Sh-Boom’, ‘Earth Angel’, ‘Cry Me A River’, ‘Mr. Lee’ and ‘Rainbow’ coming in mind. Dancehall songs by Fats Domino, The Diamonds and Ray Charles are also well remembered. Stepping back in time, we meet the famous entertainer Frank Sinatra. Becoming a successful solo artist in the early to mid 1940s, Frank Sinatra would later come to change the whole 1950s music scene by winning the 1954 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and signing with Capitol Records to produce smashing hits one after another. He stirred in such musicals as ‘High Society’, ‘Pal Joey’, ‘On The Town’ and ‘Guys and Dolls’. Sinatra’s comeback in the 50s would see him become an Oscar-winning actor and one of the top recording artists in the world producing some of the finest musicals of his time.

The 1950s music scene is also incomplete without a mention of Frankie Laine. His hit singles “Jezebel”, “Rose, Rose, I Love You”, “Granada”, “Hey, Joe” and “moonlight Gambler” were all top ten hits in the early 50s. Laine would later come to sing the theme songs for many Hollywood and television westerns opening credits. In fact, his popularity in the United Kingdom surpassed that in the States with minor hits in the States like “Answer Me, O Lord”, “The Gandy Dancer’s Ball” and “The Rock of Gibraltar” becoming much bigger hits abroad. His 1957 ‘Greatest Hits’ album is a perennial best seller that does not seem to go out of print.

Pat Boone, Patti Page and Perry Como were other P artists that had humming tracks as well. Much of the music by the above artists can be attributed to the feel good feeling that the post war optimism had on America. Since the emerging teenagers had not struggled much through the war years, they wanted something exciting and the 1950s music seemed to provide that. Indeed, the vitality of the 1950s music lives on.

Lena Horne

November 8th, 2008

Lena Horne is one of the most popular African-American jazz legend singers. She was born in 1917 Lena Mary Calhoun Horne in New York City. She performed with the greatest jazz musicians such as Duke Ellington and Artie Shaw. She lives in New York City today and does not appear in the public eye anymore. Lena is most famous for the movie Stormy Weather, in which she sung the title song, in the 1940’s. Contrary to how music careers usually begin, Lena grew up in an elite family. She lived in a black bourgeois area in Brooklyn, New York.

Her father Edwin Horne left them when she was three-years-old. Her mother Edna Scottron, daughter of an inventor, was an actress with a black theater group and traveled a lot. Lena’s grandparents raised her. Though, she was said to have been a part of the Black elite, racial discrimination still existed. Lena Horne and her friend Paul Robeson embarked on a lifelong effort to fight for Civil Rights.

Jazz the Forbidden Music

November 8th, 2008

There was a time in history when Jazz the music was banned during World War II when it was considered a plight for freedom against Hitler’s Nazi regime due to what it represents. Jazz music is the product of America that was creatively invented by African American from culture, and all the elements of the American life that influenced this style of music.

Jazz music is a symbol of freedom, hope and the ability of express ones self in through one of best art forms which is music. Meaning, African Americans fought oppression since the beginning of slavery, and Jazz music represented that resistance. Jazz music has a foundation of the basic rules of composition, but it has since expanded its way toward newer forms of music.

Fender Guitars: Tradition that Never Gets Old

November 7th, 2008

Peter Lenkefi has written a great article about the tradition of Fender guitars. Here’s a short excerpt:

Without a doubt, Fender guitars are the top-of-the-line in guitars. Success in business is often measured according to the amount of money and sales a company is able to secure. The success of the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation proves there are two other elements to consider: dedication and perseverance. From the beginning, it was company owner Leo Fender’s main goal to fender guitars the best as possible. The first fruits of his labor would prove positive his dedication He would reach his goal by designing the Telecaster, a solid-body electric guitar with a Spanish design. This guitar, like many Fender guitars that would follow, was the first of its kind. Only a few years after gaining fame with the Telecaster, Fender followed with the Precision Bass and Stratocaster. These Fender guitars are now collector’s items.

The Beatles

June 16th, 2008

The Beatles had a relatively short career by the standards of many of the bands of the era, many of which survive today. But in their decade of prominence their music followed an identifiable path that took in mainstream pop, psychedelia and some quite challenging arrangements. Analyzing sheet music of the Beatles reveals that even their early music, a blend of skiffle and rock ’n’ roll, was far removed from the three-chord compositions of many of their contemporaries. Once notable feature of Beatles music is the ease with which it translates to different styles.

Kareoke DVDs

June 4th, 2008

The word `karaoke` has a Japanese origin from the words `kara` meaning empty or void and okesutora, meaning orchestra. It is a kind of entertainment in which singers sing with music pre-recorded played on a music system. The song used is usually a popular song, but the original recorded voice is removed or the volume is reduced low enough so that it does not interfere with the current singer. Kareoke dvds
 are discs that are specially formatted to have only music of songs and their lyrics displayed when the song is played from the DVD. The earlier formats used for Karaoke were VCD and CD+G. Another format which is used for it discs is laser discs.
