Please enjoy two parents and their 14- and 11-year-old children reflecting upon what we learned and liked about the Beatles, including who loves John, Paul, George, and Ringo the most.

Detrás de algunos grandes intérpretes hubo grandes compositores mucho menos recordados. Otis Blackwell fue uno de los más importantes. Afroamericano nacido el 16 de febrero de 1931 en Nueva York. En el día en que habría cumplido 95 años celebramos el legado de este prolífico autor, poseedor de más de 1000 canciones con su firma. Escribió clásicos eternos para Elvis o Jerry Lee Lewis. Construyó desde el rhythm and blues los primeros pasos del rock’n’roll o de la música soul. Se cifran en más de 200 millones las copias de discos vendidos con su nombre en los créditos, un nombre no muy conocido pero tan inmortal como su música.Playlist;OTIS BLACKWELL “Let the daddy hold you”LITTLE WILLIE JOHN “Fever”ELVIS PRESLEY “Don’t be cruel”ELVIS PRESLEY “Return to sender”ELVIS PRESLEY “Make me know it”KRIS KRISTOFFERSON “All shook up”JERRY LEE LEWIS “Let’s talk about us”JERRY LEE LEWIS “Great balls of fire”FRANK BLACK and THE STAX PISTOLS “Breahless”THE QUEEN (DINAH WASHINGTON) “Honky Tonk”DEE CLARK “Hey Little Girl”THE WHO “Daddy Rolling Stone”THE FIVE KEYS “My pigeon’s gone”CLIFF RICHARD and THE SHADOWS “Nine times out of ten”DEL SHANNON “Handy man”JOHNNY RESTIVO “The shape I’m in”MAHALIA JACKSON “For my good fortune”SOLOMON BURKE “Home in your heart”BEN E.

Along the way, they debate the greatest American rock band of all time, reflect on overplayed classics, and share personal concert memories—including epic festival experiences and unforgettable reunion shows.

Quand vous écoutez sur Spotify l'album Unorthodox Jukebox de Bruno Mars, vous voyez celui avec le gorille qui choisit un morceau sur le clavier d'un vieux Wurlitzer, et ben, vous l'avez vu, l'ancien label de la marque Atlantic tourner en permanence sur l'application, comme si vous écoutiez un vieux 33 Tours. Maintes fois imité depuis quinze ans, Bruno Mars est pour nous le roi du funk et du rock vintage. Oh il n'a pas été le premier sur la balle, Lenny Kravitz a publié son premier album rock rétro que Bruno était encore ce petit prodige qui chantait et jouait sur la scène d'une chaîne d'hôtel à Hawaï avec le groupe de ses parents. Oui, Bruno Mars a suivi la voie de Lenny Kravitz, mais avec une sensibilité soul, alors qu'il est latino, à nul autre pareil. Laissant à Kravitz les six cordes de Jimi Hendrix, il ressort les batteries et percussions des rythmes funk comme sur son incroyable collaboration avec Mark Ronson ... Considéré comme le morceau de la décennie, le moins qu'on puisse dire c'est qu'on y entend la batterie et les cuivres de Earth Wind & Fire et les accents de la voix de James Brown … Il y a dans la musique de Bruno Mars, non pas des airs de marketing vintage qui n'a jamais aussi bien marché mais une allure de destination finale. C'est vrai que la musique pop d'aujourd'hui est sympa mais avouez qu'on n'a jamais rien fait de mieux que dans les années 80, 70, 60. Que la messe est dite ! Quand on le voit aujourd'hui, costume large, micro à l'ancienne, groove impeccable, on parle souvent de nostalgie, de rétro, d'hommage, d'un gars vivant dans un rétroviseur. Mais en réalité, Bruno Mars n'est jamais revenu en arrière. Il n'est jamais parti. Tout commence bien avant les Grammy, bien avant les stades, bien avant Uptown Funk. À Hawaï, quand il était encore enfant, Bruno montait sur scène déguisé en Elvis Presley. La banane, le costume, le déhanchement, ce n'était pas une attraction, pour lui. C'était son quotidien. Alors quand, adulte, on lui demande d'où viennent ces sons, ces grooves, cette façon d'occuper l'espace, il reste interloqué, comme si la question n'avait pas de sens. Ce qu'il fait aujourd'hui, c'est simplement la musique qu'il a toujours entendue à la maison. D'ailleurs, après Uptown Funk, on va lui proposer d'être plus moderne. Plus dans l'air du temps. Mais il refuse. Bruno ne joue pas à l'ancien. Il ne fait pas semblant. Il ne singe personne. Il continue simplement une conversation commencée bien avant lui. Le petit garçon qui imitait Elvis sur une scène de Waikiki n'a jamais changé de langage. Il a seulement appris à parler plus fort, à plus de monde. Et c'est peut-être ça, le secret de sa longévité. Dans un monde qui change de look sans arrêt, Bruno Mars a compris une chose essentielle : on peut évoluer, grandir, conquérir la planète entière sans jamais renier l'enfant qu'on a été. La modernité la plus intègre, c'est simplement de rester soi-même.
Our Randy Hamilton was born to sing songs like this. He and Danny Cox brought us “Spooky” last summer and we've been loving it ever since. Especially when we added Sam St. Clair's funky harmonica and Jack Nuckols' tasty percussion.About the SongAs reported here earlier, while The Classics IV made the lyrics famous with a chart-topper in the fall of 1967, the story of “Spooky” began several years earlier in an Atlanta club. Following a show sometimes in 1965, saxophonist Mike Sharpe (Shapiro) and his band mate pianist Harry Middlebrooks Jr. began riffing on the George Gershwin classic, “Summertime.”As they improvised, they realized they had stumbled upon something special. As they continued, the duo developed their own melody, to which Sharpe randomly assigned the name “Spooky.”The original version was recorded as a jazz instrumental featuring strange high voices to enhance the eerie vibe; it eventually peaked at No. 57 on the U.S. charts in January 1966.Sharpe and Middlebrooks initially thought the song's life cycle ended there, but a year later, The Classics IV added those lyrics about that “spooky little girl like you,” propelling the track to No. 3 on the Billboard 100. Harry's StoryMeanwhile, as “Spooky” was conquering the airwaves, co-writer Harry Middlebrooks was entering one of the most high-energy phases of his career: touring with Elvis Presley. It was the fall of 1970 when Middlebrooks received a call from Elvis's producer, Felton Jarvis, inviting him to join The King's first tour in 10 years.Middlebrooks served a unique dual role on the road: he performed as part of the opening act to warm up the crowd and sang tenor in the backup quartet, providing the vocal harmonies essential to Elvis's ‘70s sound. In a moment of professional synergy, Elvis, who was fond of “Spooky,” actually performed a cover of the Sharpe-Middlebrooks' hit during various live shows and rehearsals in 1970.Beyond his most famous composition, Middlebrooks established himself as a prolific figure in the entertainment industry. He composed for television and penned more 300 tunes recorded by such diverse artists as Tom Jones, Liberace and The Oak Ridge Boys.Middlebrooks recorded several albums for Reprise and Capitol Records and established himself on the club scene in Southern California, eventually singing at more 80 clubs. He became an in-demand session and backup singer for Neil Diamond, Anne Murray, Marty Robbins and others. In particular, he relished his seven-year run backing Glen Campbell for his Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe concerts.Another Helping of Randy Tunes?So, has today's podcast got you hankering for more tunes from Randy Hamilton?

1997, c'est la fin d'un monde pour le jeune Peter Hernandez, 12 ans. Nous sommes à Hawaï, et comme l'a montré le très beau film Les descendants, avec George Clooney, ce n'est pas seulement une île idyllique au milieu du Pacifique, mais une terre habitée avec tous ses drames humains. Jusque-là partagé entre l'école et surtout les spectacles dans le groupe de ses parents où il était le petit prodige imitant, entre autres, Elvis Presley, voilà que le groupe éclate avec le divorce de son père et sa mère.Les parents n'ayant plus de revenus, tout disparaît y compris le domicile familial. Avec sa mère, frères et sœurs, Peter vit au rythme du système D, logeant à gauche et à droite, là où on veut bien les héberger, toujours provisoirement.Avec papa, c'est encore pire, on dort dans la voiture, ou n'importe quel squat comme cette fois où un zoo abandonné fait l'affaire. Alors on l'imagine, le jeune Peter, passer son adolescence à essayer de terminer des études secondaires et enchaîner les petits boulots, et les spectacles, bien sûr, pour ce soir, finir avec le paternel sur un toit où ils seront à l'abri, à la fois du regard des gens sur leur misère et de la délinquance. Dans la rue, on vous agresse pour vous voler trois fois rien. Le soleil se couche sur un pays incroyablement beau et pourtant, Bruno, c'est comme ça que son père l'appelle depuis qu'il est tout môme, rêve d'un ailleurs.C'est vrai, c'est beau ici mais tout est vraiment compliqué. Il faut croire que son père a été exaucé quand, devant l'admiration du public pour cet enfant prodige du quartier de Waikiki chantant et dansant comme un adulte, il disait “pourvu qu'il ne grandisse jamais”. A 17 ans, Bruno ne mesure même pas 1m65. Alors il rêve de pousser de manière spectaculaire avant le cap fatal des 18 ans, et puis aussi, surtout, de devenir une star de la musique.C'est tout ce qu'il sait faire et tout ce qu'il a envie de faire. Mais le rêve tant attendu d'avoir un jour un grand producteur américain en vacances dans un resort qui vienne le voir après le spectacle pour lui proposer un contrat, a fait long feu.Non, Hawaï est trop petit pour ses rêves de réussite. D'ailleurs, que répondrait-il à ce producteur ? Quel est son genre de musique ? Le rock, le reggae, la pop, la soul ? Bruno aime tout. C'est à cause de ses parents, ça, ils écoutent de tout, de Police à James Brown. Alors, il ne lui reste qu'une chose à faire : le grand saut. Partir pour Los Angeles, là où sont les grandes firmes de disques, où habite Michael Jackson et puis Metallica et autrefois, Elvis Presley, quand il tournait ses films, dans les années 60.Mais comment vas-tu te débrouiller, là-bas, sans rien ? Et ben ici, alors, comment on fait ? L'errance et l'instabilité à LA vaut bien celle d'Honolulu. Là au moins, il pourra saisir sa chance qui, dit-on, ne sourit qu'aux audacieux.
639 - Elvis Presley - I Got a Feelin' In My Body: Chris, Nick, and Andy are joined by Ace Mez to break down "I Got a Feelin' In My Body" from the 1974 album Good Times by Elvis Presley.
Été 1989, la haute saison bat son plein sur l'île d'Hawaï, il y a des touristes partout. Plage et sports aquatiques pour les jeunes, excursions et soirées spectacles pour les parents. Des spectacles musicaux qui ne manquent pas. On a beau être à la fin d'une décennie marquée par les rythmes synthétiques de Depeche Mode à Technotronic et par les guitares survoltées de Metallica, il faut surtout faire plaisir à la génération précédente.C'est pourquoi sur la scène d'un de ces hôtels, ce soir, comme tous les soirs, le groupe de covers The Love Notes, va faire un carton avec des reprises qui vont rappeler bien des souvenirs aux touristes venus du continent. Les Love Notes, les notes d'amour, tout un programme pour une soirée lounge, c'est un groupe familial, formé par les Hernandez. Peter est New Yorkais d'origine, de Brooklyn, un beau cocktail de sang portoricain et d'Europe centrale, Bernadette, sa femme, elle, est d'origine philippine mais aussi portoricaine, comme lui. C'est ici à Hawaï qu'ils se sont rencontrés et étant musiciens tous les deux, l'idée du groupe familial est venue naturellement.Je dis familial car le clou du spectacle c'est l'arrivée sur scène de leur fils de quatre ans, habillé en Elvis Presley dans la tenue miniature de son légendaire concert à Hawaï en 1973. L'image de ce costume a beau être, pour cause de diffusion en mondovision par satellite, une première à l'époque, tellement ancrée dans la culture populaire, ce n'est pas ce déguisement ni la coiffure en banane qui provoquent l'émerveillement du public. C'est surtout la parfaite imitation du chant et du déhanchement d'Elvis par le petit Peter qui soulève l'enthousiasme. Quel talent !Les gens applaudissent, rappellent, Peter se démène à fond comme un adulte, mieux, comme vingt ans auparavant le petit Michael Jackson car Peter fait aussi bien qu'un adulte. Et c'est ça qui est époustouflant : sa façon d'aller chercher le public, le timing et la justesse absolus dans le chant, tout y est déjà. Et il n'a que quatre ans. A cet âge-là, les enfants commencent à peine à apprendre à lire et compter. Lui, sait déjà comment porter toute une salle.Une salle qui l'acclame debout, la soirée a été excellente. Le public, les patrons, les parents et le petit prodige sont heureux. Il faudrait que Bruno ne grandisse jamais, dit Peter en plaisantant. Ah oui, Bruno est le surnom qu'il lui a donné car, bébé, il était tellement costaud et trapu qu'il lui faisait penser à une star du catch des années 60 et 70, Bruno Sammartino. Un truc idiot dit comme ça mais c'est souvent ainsi que ça se passe dans nos vies, une référence, une identification rassurante à notre jeune temps. Comment pourraient-ils deviner que ce surnom va être celui que portera Peter Junior quand, devenu adulte, il deviendra la plus grande star de la planète sous le nom de Bruno Mars, une star qui revendique toujours le Elvis Presley des années 50 comme influence majeure.
Screamin' Jay Hawkins released “I Put a Spell on You” in 1956 on Okeh Records. Elvis Presley released “Heartbreak Hotel” and “Hound Dog,” transforming popular music—and youth culture—almost overnight. The song that would define him was never meant to be a novelty. Hawkins later claimed he recorded it while blackout drunk, so intoxicated that he remembered nothing of the session. The record failed on its initial release, but when it caught on years later, it transformed Hawkins from a struggling musician into a cult figure. “I Put a Spell on You” has been covered countless times and featured in films released decades after its debut. The artists and movies mentioned in this story are real. The song's cultural afterlife is long, strange, and very well documented. But were Hawkins's voodoo trappings merely theatrics, or was there something more sinister behind them? Of course it was all for show—almost certainly. Still, the idea that it might not have been was enough to send several fictional possibilities leaping out of the coffin that is this author's brain. I hope you enjoy “I Put a Spell on You.” Written and performed by Scott Sigler Production Assistance by Allie Press Copyright 2026 by Empty Set Entertainment Theme music is the song “Dark Wave” by Roman Rumyantsev With Valentine's Day just around the corner, why not surprise your sweetheart with a new 3-year domain registration?

All Shook Up: A Novel by Enid Langbert https://www.amazon.com/All-Shook-Up-Enid-Langbert/dp/1684632641 Enidlangbert.com This YA debut speaks to the continued interest in the teen culture of the 1950s—Elvis Presley, teenage rebellion—with a young girl embarking on adventure and music, ultimately uncovering family secrets. Being fourteen is especially hard in 1956, when the world is changing around you. Honor student Paula Levy was born into a family of historical victims: her mother's youth was lost in the Depression and her father's was destroyed in the Holocaust, an as-yet-unnamed event about which no one speaks. But Paula has heard the new music taking hold of the nation—rock and roll—and it has given her hope. And she has two friends to get her through life's ups and downs: Holden Caulfield, hero of Catcher in the Rye, who shares her view of the world, and Barbara, a “cool” girl in her high school who unexpectedly shares Paula's view of Holden. Paula's mother is not a fan of Barbara, and she prohibits her daughter from associating with her. Paula manages to get around her mother's rule and see Barbara anyway—but when Paula asks the wrong questions about her father's past and Barbara is caught with her “boyfriend,” their private world of Holden, rock, and Elvis Presley crumbles. Angry with the adults in their lives, the two girls run away to find Barbara's real father, a jazz musician. Disappointingly, he does not live in a mansion or socialize with Elvis—but Paula and Barbara may find something even better. About the author Enid Wolfe Langbert was not as adventurous as her protagonist, Paula, in high school, but she made up for it in the sixties by marching, sitting in, and raging against segregation and the war while, in her spare time, raising three children. Eventually, she went to law school. She loved zealously advocating for her clients as an attorney, whether they deserved it or not, until her husband became ill and she closed her practice to care for him. After he passed, she traveled widely and enrolled in an English literature master's program. She is now writing her thesis, tracing the influence of James Joyce's legal issues on his writing of Finnegans Wake—a topic about which she is unambiguously passionate. Enid lives in New York City.
Nathan and Ryan head to the mean streets of New Orleans for King Creole (1958), widely considered the best film Elvis Presley ever made. Directed by Michael Curtiz, this gritty crime drama drops Elvis into a world of gangsters, broken families, and nightclub danger, letting him channel real anger and vulnerability instead of novelty musical fluff. The hosts discuss the film's noir edge, its standout performances (including Walter Matthau as a vicious mob boss), and how King Creole shows the movie star Elvis that could have been if Hollywood had taken more risks.

Back on this day in 1956 Elvis Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel" single was released. KTAR Timeline is brought to you by Beatitudes Campus.
Nathan and Ryan head into pure '60s pop chaos with Harum Scarum (1965), one of Elvis Presley's most baffling and colorful musical misfires. Cast as a reluctant action hero in a fictional Middle Eastern kingdom, Elvis sings, fights assassins, and stumbles through a plot that feels like a spy movie filtered through a Vegas revue. The hosts break down the film's camp appeal, questionable stereotypes, and why Harum Scarum often lands on “worst Elvis movie” lists—while still being weirdly fascinating as a time capsule of mid-'60s excess.

Ray Russell in conversation with David Eastaugh http://tartaruspress.com/ray/fifty-forgotten-records.html Ray Russell was not at the crossroads when Robert Johnson met the devil, and he didn't see Elvis Presley perform live. He wasn't at Woodstock, or Altamont, or on the roof of the Apple Building. To his enduring frustration, he didn't get to see The Sex Pistols in Manchester at the Lesser Free Trade Hall in June 1976, because he was only ten years old. There will be many others who are just as passionate about music as Russell, who also failed to be in the audience at seminal moments in music history. But, like him, they own records that mean the world to them, and have seen bands play who blew them away. The point is, we all treasure our own personal musical histories because they enrich our lives. This book is a celebration of being a committed music fan. He formed a band at seventeen and discovered he couldn't sing. Close friends released a record which used his lyrics, but John Peel played another of their songs. He ran a record label for a month, worked in a record shop and has released a few records of his own music.
Why is Elvis known as the King? Baz Luhrmann's Elvis Presley biopic hit UK cinemas on 24nd June 2022, starring Austin Butler as the King of rock and roll himself, and Tom Hanks as his controversial manager Colonel Tom Parker. Let's look back at how Elvis became a global superstar from the 1950s through to the late 70s. Elvis Presley earned his reputation as the King for a seemingly endless list of hits he had throughout his career. Many successful artists have cited him as being their number one influence and to this day, he's still a popular culture icon, even 45 years after passing away. What stuck out the most about Elvis' music? How did the King's decline affect his reputation? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

662. Part 1 of our conversation with Matthew and Melissa, hosts of the the "This Ain't It" podcast, covering their response to MAGA religion. Hosted by Matthew Teutsch, a scholar of African American literature and Director of the Lillian E. Smith Center, and his wife Melissa Teutsch, the show explores the intersection of culture, politics, and history. Together, they engage in deep conversations about civil rights, the power of rhetoric, and the ongoing struggle for social justice in the American South and beyond. By examining the "interminable" nature of systemic oppression, the Teutsches challenge listeners to embrace the responsibility of resistance through education and empathy.

Dorothy Day wrote the article, “Florence Is a Communist.” “Do you know what Communism is, Florence?” “Yes, I am a Communist,” Florence stated, and afterward when we were alone together in the kitchen she went into more details about her beliefs. “Communism,” she stated, “is to help the poor.” So the poor of the small town of Jacobi where she came from, were quite ready to be enrolled in the ranks of the Communists. There were about eighty Negroes signed up with the Communist group in her little town in Louisiana, and in the neighboring towns of Lettsworth, Lagonia, Batchelor, Torras and Susport there were groups of from forty to sixty in each town. They were not doing anything much at present, not even meeting, she explained, since the young Communist organizer who had been keeping contact with them had been jailed and run out of town. He had been transferred by the Party to another state, so there the matter was halted. This week in Louisiana history. January 23, 1680. Bienville born in Montreal, Canada, 12 of 14 children.

Like all good music nerds, the hosts of "How We Heard It" frequently advocate for lesser-known acts they think deserve more attention. But Wayne, Chuck and John like to balance the podcast by also talking about the biggest names through the years, and in this episode they talk about the most popular of them all, ranking them against each other. The premise: The guys explore the top-10-selling music acts from each decade, from the 1960s to the 2020s, and they take turns picking their favorite act as well as their least favorite act from each decade. This war of the giants includes battles like The Beatles vs. Elvis Presley vs. The Rolling Stones (from the 1960s) to Michael Jackson vs. Madonna vs. Prince (from the 1980s) to Adele vs. Taylor Swift vs. Drake (from the 2010s). The guys argue, then agree, then argue some more ... and sometimes they even hurt each other's feelings. At least a little bit. Even a casual music listener is going to know just about all of these artists and might have just as much trouble picking the best of the best, not to mention the worst of the best. Give it a shot and you'll see.

You saw them on ABC News; now meet them on this excting episode.The Reasonable Doubts is a "garage band" of Minnesota judges, created to provide creativity and to relieve stress through making music together. The group has nine members, who come together to enjoy music and foster camaraderie outside of their judicial roles. The Reasonable Doubts was formed about two years ago by Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Anne McKeig, who sent an email to judges across the state inviting them to join her in starting a band. As you will hear, the name "Reasonable Doubts" refers to the legal standard of proof required in criminal cases. The band practices nearly every weekend in St. Cloud, Minnesota, and their repertoire covers genres from country to rock and pop. They perform covers of popular songs, including tracks by Elvis Presley, AC/DC, and Beyoncé. The Reasonable Doubts has participated in various events, including their first public booking at Law Law Palooza, (Get it?) a benefit concert for legal aid, highlighting their commitment to community engagement while also showcasing their musical talents. The Reasonable Doubts band demonstrates how judges can come together to share their love for music, to support each other, and to find balance in their demanding careers. I know from my day job the stress under which judges work --- day and night. The Reasonable Doubts goes a way to relive that stress.Enjoy this episode!

Elvis Presley loved the Memphis singer Johnny Ace. Johnny died long before Elvis' became the King of Rock ‘N' Roll and the way in which Johnny Ace died was as tragic as it was violent. It involved a game of Russian roulette, a greedy and dubious rock ‘n' roll impresario, BB King, Big Mama Thornton, Little Richard, and a killer conspiracy and music history myth in desperate need of busting. Buckle up for a Christmas story like no other. What are your favorite rock 'n' roll myths? Which ones need busting?
