It's a big proposition to get started on the next 100 stories from Within The Realm. Some may wonder, how does a fella have so many tales tucked away in his mind. Folks that know me well, know that I have a million of ‘em and they wish I would hush, at least for a little bit. Well, the good news is that today is not a day I feel inclined to hush, so we'll move forward with our story for today after we hear from the good folks that help me bring you our show. After that I have a story about the center of the universe, it's closer than you might think. (music/Commercials/stinger) Thanks for inviting me back to your podcast listening device. Be sure to check out the show notes in the info on this episode for news about the show & how to contact us. We would love to hear from you. This episode might reveal my roundabout way of dealing with a story. I can't seem to follow a straight line from one end of a story to the next, but hopefully that makes them interesting. I tell stories that come from the place where the Great Plains, the Ozark Mountains and the Indian Territory collide. A lot of people refer to it as “Fly Over Country” and for a lot of folks they do exactly that, Fly over it on their way to more supposedly interesting places. One thing those people don't know is the Center of the Universe lies beneath them as they jet from coast to coast. The Center of the Universe is in Tulsa, just off 1st and Boston. At this location there is a small circle of concrete in a wide spot on a walking path where a person can stand & hear their conversational tone echoed back to them, but then step off of that circle no echo is produced. Folks come from near & far to hear for themselves & leave satisfied they have experienced something weird. There are those that try to explain away the phenomenon, saying it has something to do with the curved concrete seating on either side of the spot constructed several years ago that produces the echo. They can try to explain it with Science, but those that reside Within The Realm know it's a mystery of the ever expanding variety. But the first to point out Oklahoma's centralness to the Cosmos was the great Oklahoma folksinger, songwriter, actor & quantum philosopher Hoyt Axton. You may remember him as the Dad in Gremlins or from his song Della & the Dealer from the 70s. You DO remember him as the songwriter that gave us Never Been To Spain, The Pusher & the one about the Bullfrog named Jeremiah, Joy To The World. Hoyt was often quoted as saying Oklahoma was the cultural center of the universe. Now that always got a laugh from the folks on either coast, thinking about this place as devoid of anything good. After all the bright lights are in New York and LA. On this one, I'm a disciple of the Bard from Duncan, if we push the boundaries out to incorporate all of that place I call Within The Realm, I think I can make a pretty strong argument that Fly Over Country is, in fact, the cultural center of the universe. This part of the world has been settled for some time, but really didn't fill up til late in the game. It was very much a part of that frontier that Fredrick Jackson Turner based his thesis on, the one Professor Greg Jackson reminded us in the last episode went something like “the frontier made America or the Frontier was the most American thing that America ever America'd.” I put it another way, many of those folks were kicked out of every other decent place in the world and came here. This place was diverse, culturally speaking. Just taking that Center of the Universe location in Tulsa as an example, within just a few blocks of that site, you have the Muskogee Tribes Council Oak, the place where the members of that band of Native Americans met and conferred long before Oklahoma was a State. Within Walking distance from there is the Greenwood District, the Black Wall Street, where a vibrant African American community thrived. And of course downtown Tulsa, owing its very existence to those that came here to make a living from what came out of the ground. Many communities in this vast part of the country had similar communities. Not everything was perfect, but strong communities existed in this place. Out of those strong but separate cultures came the Negro Baseball Leagues, Wild West Shows, Kansas City Jazz & Western Swing. Those same communities produced Will Rogers, Walt Disney, Woody Guthrie & Langston Hughes. And as all that was brewing, Railroads funneled people through Kansas City and Route 66, the Mother Road was built right through the Ozarks, Indian Territory and the Great Plains in the 1920s. This was the road that the “Okies” used in their escape to California in the Great Depression. The term Okie, at least to the Californians who saw them as undesireables in their fair State, applied to all those that came through Oklahoma on their exodus to the west, be they from Texas, Arkansas or Missouri. But once it was all said and done 15% of the population of Oklahoma had headed for the jobs in the fields and the cities they hoped awaited them in the Golden State. This was the first great export of the Within The Realm culture. The Okies took with them their culture just as Will Rogers was the number one box-office draw and Walt Disney and the slew of Kansas City animators like Fritz Freeling and Ub Iwerks, were revolutionizing animation. Count Basie was spreading the popularity of the Kansas City style jazz & radio Station KVOO, the Voice of Oklahoma, was broadcasting the music of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys across the west. But even after the Depression & World War II, folks from this part of the world made an impact everywhere. The folk music trend of the 50s & 60s was greatly influenced by Woody Guthrie, Oklahoman Jimmy Webb penned some of the greatest love songs of the 60s, including Wichita Lineman & By The Time I Get to Phoenix about a lovelorn Okie headed back to Oklahoma. Newscaster Walter Cronkite, science fiction author Robert Heinlein & radio commentator Paul Harvey spread their Fly Over Country sentimentality to their audiences. S. E. Hinton, a young writer from the middle of nowhere wrote “The Outsiders” that influenced generations of young people. Long before Garth Brooks was the biggest thing ever in Country music, Ozarkian Porter Waggoner delivered Dolly Parton to the World and Eric Clapton regularly scoured the Tulsa scene for backing musicians. Leon Russell, the Master of Time and Space, influenced passels of musicians including a young Reginald Kenneth Dwight, who later became known as Elton John. And we're only scratching the surface of what this place has offered to the rest of the world. I haven't even mentioned Cherry Mash, the ICEE or Kool-Aid. So, for those of you who live Within The Realm, you know who you are, there's lots of history and background in this area. It's more than just trivia. It's a part of the fabric of our country, a country that has an outsized impact of the world. The influence of the people of the place even stretches into the depths of space. Remember it was a Kansas farm boy that discovered Pluto & four men from our little region have walked on or orbited the moon, Alan Bean, Edgar Mitchell, Tom Stafford & Ronald Evans. And then for you folks that have never known the pleasures of living in this stretch of country, those of you who wonder what in the world those folks you are flying over might be doing down there. You might be surprised to know how much the music you listen to, the literature you read and content you consume was created right here...or even how the ability to fly over said region was developed here. There's always more to the story here Within The Realm, the Cultural Center of the Universe. Plenty more stories for another 100 or so episodes.

RECAST:  ( Episode #45) Elton John — “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”September, 1973Elton John's seventh studio release is considered his best by many. The double album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road contains many well known hits including the title track, the Marilyn Monroe-inspired “Candle in the Wind,” and the 11-minute epic “Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding.” Elton John initially intended to record this album in Jamaica, but political instability and the upcoming Frazier/Foreman boxing match caused the production to be moved to Chateau d'Herouville in France.Friend of the Show John Lynch returns to help us showcase this monster rock album from 1973.All the Girls Love AliceThis deeper cut in a minor key deals with prostitution and lesbianism. Tempo changes between the verses and chorus with a groovy fuzzy guitar distortion give this track its distinctive sound. Liberty music was originally trying to get John and writer/partner Bernie Taupin to write songs for other artists, but they decided to write it for themselves.Saturday Night's Alright for FightingThis well-known track was inspired by Taupin's experience in local pubs as a lad — it was banned on a number of radio stations because of fears that it would inspire violence. At age 15, Elton John was actually playing in pubs.Goodbye Yellow Brick RoadThe title track hearkens to a simpler childhood time, removed from celebrity and high society. Reginald Kenneth Dwight would change his name to Elton John inspired by two blues players he liked.Grey SealAnother deeper track from the album is driven by piano riffs and interesting key and tempo changes. If you don't understand the lyrics to this song, you're in good company - Elton John doesn't understand the lyrics either!ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Super Friends Theme SongThis staple of Saturday morning cartoons featured DC superheroes...“Meanwhile, back in the Halls of Justice...”STAFF PICKS:Looking Glass - “Jimmy Love Mary-Anne”  Wayne brings us the yacht rock this week. If you think this sounds like "Brandy," there's a reason for it. This is their follow-up top-40 hit. Story songs like this were popular in the early '70's.The Edgar Winter Group - “Free Ride” Bruce's staff pick brings the boogie from the debut album from The Edgar Winter Group. Ronnie Montrose and Rick Derringer were also on this album.Jim Croce - “Bad Bad Leroy Brown”Special Guest Host stepping in for Brian, John Lynch introduces another storytelling song with amazing lyrics like, "badder than old King Kong, and meaner than a junkyard dog." Unfortunately, Croce would die in a plane crash in this month.Chicago - “Just You 'n' Me”Rob takes the tempo down with a horn-driven hit. This was the second single released from "Chicago VI." The song was inspired by an argument that trombone player James Pankow had with his girlfriend - shortly thereafter his wife.LAUGH TRACK:Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Crypt Kickers - “Monster Mash”Ahead of Halloween 1973, this song was moving up the charts. Originally released in 1962, the song was re-released in 1973.

Elton John hat der Welt über 50 Jahre lang seine Melodien geschenkt: Your Song, Candle in the wind, Tiny Dancer, Sorry seems to be the hardest word – die Liste ist seit den frühen 70er Jahren immer weiter gewachsen und lässt sich bis heute fortführen. Geboren wurde der schrille Superstar mit Brille als Reginald Kenneth Dwight, ein schüchternes Einzelkind. Schon früh wurde sein musikalisches Talent und sein präzises Gehör entdeckt, vor allem seine Großmutter förderte ihn. Er bekam bereits als Kind ein Stipendium an der Royal Academy of Music. Gleichzeitig trat er – vom Stiefvater unterstützt – in Pubs auf und bekam in dieser rauen Schule ein sicheres Gefühl für Publikum. Nach weiteren Lehrjahren bei der Band „Bluesology“, als Begleit- und Studiomusiker, traf er schließlich auf den Texter Bernie Taupin – eine entscheidende Wende in seinem Leben. Denn die beiden schüchternen Teenager verstanden sich auf Anhieb: Elton John, wie er sich inzwischen nannte, inspirierten die lyrischen Geschichten von Taupin, manchmal nur in Minuten fielen ihm dazu Melodien ein, viele Klassiker wurden geboren. Das zweite Album, „Elton John“ betitelt, brachte den Durchbruch, mehrere spektakuläre Auftritte im legendären Club „Troubadour“ in Los Angeles überzeugten viele. Der Star Elton John war geboren. In wenigen Jahren folgten Alben, große Tourneen und zahlreiche Hits. Die Kostüme und Bühnenauftritte wurden immer spektakulärer, verdeckten aber auch die Einsamkeit, die zunehmenden Drogenprobleme und die Unsicherheit des eigentlich eher schüchternen Menschen hinter den schrillen Kostümen. Peter Urban erinnert sich an erste Auftritte, in denen er Elton John erlebte. Im Gespräch mit Ocke Bandixen zeichnet er den überraschenden Werdegang des Sängers und Pianisten nach und erklärt die ganz verschiedenen Quellen für dessen Musik.

Bohemian Rhapsody, Rocket Man, Yesterday: drei Musikfilme, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten und warum man alle gesehen haben sollte! Wer gute Musik zu schätzen weiß, hat aktuell im Streaming gute Chancen auf gute Unterhaltung: Drei Musikfilme, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten! Die Story von Freddy Mercury und Queen ist ein richtiger Film, Rocket Man ist mehr ein Musical, dass es ins Kino geschafft hat und Yesterday, das komplette Verschwinden der Beatles aus der Menschheitsgeschichte bis auf einen Mann, der sich erinnern kann und nun das Erinnerte wieder aufleben lässt... hier ist echt für jeden was dabei! Und das Beste? Je nachdem welchen Dienst ihr abonniert habt, könnte ihr einen, zwei oder alle drei Filme aktuell kostenlos streamen! Drei sehenswerte Musikfilme, über Queen, Elton John und die Beatles... / Bild-Quelle: amazon prime video Deutschland Wenn ihr mich nach meinem Top Favorite fragt, muss ich Euch noch ein paar Absätze auf die Folter spannen. Trotz früherer Verbundenheit zu Elton John, sowohl musikalisch als auch am Piano, könnte Euch die Antwort wohl trotzdem überraschen. Aber nun der Reihe nach: Bohemian Rhapsody zeichnet den nicht immer ganz leichten Weg von Freddy Mercury vom ersten Treffen seiner künftigen Band hin zu Queen, seinen Eskapaden und seiner teils verheimlichten, teils bekannten Homosexualität nach. Auch widmet sich der Film seiner kurzer Schaffensperiode in München, die zu dem Zeitpunkt immer im Schatten von Queen bleiben sollte. Musikalisch lässt der Film wenig zu wünschen übrig: zeichnet er mit den wohl bekanntesten Hits und Tourdaten den Aufstieg von Freddy Mercury, der sich als Gesicht und Leader der Band positioniert, nach. Auch die Streitereien, Trennungsgerüchte und eben selbige sowie anstrengende Wege des erneuten Zusammenfindens zeigt der Film, wenn auch in der wohl notwendig Hollywood-esken Art auf. Sein merkwürdiger Umgang mit Frauen und Freunden sowie seine absolute Hörigkeit zu Managern, die ihm nicht immer wohl gesonnen und auch mal auf das eigene Wohl orientiert waren, beleuchtet der Film. Er endet leider viel zu früh mit dem sagenumwobenen Live-Aid-Auftritt im Wembley-Stadium (UK) im Jahr 1985. Damals, wohl schon totkrank, organisiert er, auch um endlich seinem Vater zu gefallen und gerecht zu werden, ein wahres Familien-Happening um diesen Auftritt - um dann mit Standbild ausgefaded zu werden und über seinen tragischen und zu frühen Tod im Jahr 1991 zu erfahren. Wenig bis gar nichts kommt noch zu seiner dann doch noch erfolgreichen Solo-Karriere, als Stichwort sei hier der Song Barcelona genannt. Der Film ist unfassbar kurzweilig, nimmt den Zuseher mit auf die Reise, lässt ihn mitfiebern und die Karriere sowie die Abstürze von Mercury miterleben. Nicht zuletzt dank der Musik und den Hintergründen zur Entstehen, wenn auch in kurz in knapp, ein Muss für Fans und jedermann, der die Musik von Queen mag. Rocket Man im Gegenzug ist ganz anders. Für mich war es eher ein Musical, das man ins Kino geholt hat. Die Musik entspricht ganz und gar nicht der Reihenfolge, in der sie in dem Film benutzt wird. Musik ist hier in den meisten Fällen, eben wie im Theater, eine szenische Unterstützung. Und so blicken wir in das Leben von Reginald Kenneth Dwight. Und wie aus Elton, den Vornamen, dem er seinen Idol entlieht, auch plötzlich ein John wurde: und ja, es war doch John Lennon, der den "Nachnamen" spendierte. Ein wenig arg überzeichnet finde ich das wohl unfassbare Genie der Person Elton John: jegliche Musik nach einmaligem Hören sofort fehlerfrei wiedergeben zu können, wie er es auch in seiner Jugend im Rahmen der Vorstellung für das Stipendium vorgeführt hat. Parallelen zu Bohemian Rhapsody gibt es auch hier: Der eiskalte Vater, dem der Sohn nicht gefallen will, der "Rocker" aus der zweiten Ehe, der sich hier "offener" zeigt. Und auch hier: Ehe, sexuelle Eskapaden und viel Homosexualität. Dazu noch Drogen aller Art, aller Farben und aller Mengen - neben seinen sagenumwobenen Kostümen und den schillernden Auftritten, die mir ein wenig zu kurz kommen und nicht wirklich die Highlights darbieten. Auf die Kostüme wurde viel Wert auf Authentizität gelegt - mir fehlen aber diverse Auftritte und auch Come-Backs. Dafür ist aber in einem Musical der Spannungsboden nicht zu spannen, so wirkte sich das auch auf den Kinofilm aus. Rocket Man ist eine Oper. Mit Drogen, Sex und guter Musik. Schrillen Kostümen und einem Elton, der immer, egal wie high und ob über oder unter Wasser, weiß, was er tut - was wohl nicht der gesamten Biographie entsprechen würde. Durch Auslassen vieler entscheidender Events und dem Verbauen von Musik, wo sie musical-like passt und nicht, wie sie entstanden ist, eher etwas für hochgradig interessierte und Fans. Und dann ist da noch Yesterday. Wer nun, auch auf Grund des Posters, sofort an ein Album und den Song der Beatles denken muss, hat den Film zur Hälfte verstanden. Und auch wenn der ewige Loser und Hauptdarsteller es verzweifelt mit eigener Musik versucht, verschafft ihm ein Verkehrsunfall den notwendigen Durchbruch. Dank eines Stromausfalls rammt ihn ein Bus, und als er im Krankenhaus erwacht, stellt er, erst noch unter Medikamenten ein wenig ungläubig, dann aber umso entsetzter, fest, dass es Musik der Beatles nie gegeben hat. Und schon beginnt seine Karriere - dank Songs und seinem tatsächlichem musikalischem Talent für Songs und Texte der Beatles. Auch nett der Sidekick von Ed Sheeran und dessen Demut im Songschreibekurzzeitwettbewerb. Trotz alle dem gelingt es nicht mit der Frau, die er will - und es dauert zu lange um zu verstehen, wer die Frau ist, die ihn will... da helfen auch nur ganz wenig die Songs der Beatles. Noch dazu stellt sich raus, dass er doch nicht der Einzige ist und ein paar weitere Erinnernde nun auch noch hinter ihm her sind... da könnte es jetzt vielen so gehen wie mir, die auf das notwendige Erwachen aus dem Koma oder Traum dank dem Unfall warten... aber guckt Euch den Film an, beachtet die Dinge, die noch spurlos verschwunden sind und genießt die Musik und die wirklich liebevolle Story von John, Paul, George und Ringo. Der Film ist was für alleine, dank der Musik, oder zu zweit für einen kuscheligen Mitsing-Abend - nicht zuletzt dank dem wirklich perfekten Spiel des Hauptdarstellers Himesh Patel. Und, lasst Euch von dem wirklichen Hammerende gebührend überraschen! Wenn Du Songs der Beatles magst und eine schöne Love-Story drum rum, mit britischem Humor und einem Ende, dass Du am Anfang nicht oder nur falsch vorhersagen kannst (keine Schande, ging mir genau so!!!), schnapp Dir den Stream, Ruhe und mach die Boxen laut! Und Vorsicht, den Film möchte man dann immer und immer wieder ansehen! Und wenn Du Fan von den Beatles bist, bereite Dich auf den einen oder anderen Ort vor, den Du schon mal gehört oder vielleicht auch schon gesehen hast...! Tja - was wäre ich, wenn ich Euch nun alleine lassen würde mit der Reihenfolge! Es kann aber so einfach sein: Elton-Fan: Elton. Queen, Yesterday. Queen-Fan: Elton, Queen, Yesterday. Egal-was-Fan: Elton, Queen, Yesterday. Wieso? Für mich ist das Elton-Musical einfach schwach, Queen von der Story und der Musik der Hammer und Yesterday ein musikalisches MUSS! Dann viel Spaß am nächsten Samstag! Hoffe mal, Euer abonnierter Streaming-Dienst hat die Filme, und idealerweise aktuell auch kostenfrei! Viel Spaß damit! Und sonst so? Noch zukünftige Klassiker der Filmgeschichte, die ich hier nicht erwähnt habe? Musikalisch noch ein paar "must-haves", die hier in die Liste müssen? Oder seid ihr mit meiner Reihenfolge und meinen Aussagen nicht einverstanden? Dann ran an die Tasten und her mit den Infos: gerne per email, Kommentar im Blog oder als Sprachnachricht oder Videobotschaft (ja, ich habe Google Meet gesagt!) an mich! Ich bin gespannt!

Diese Episode ist eine exakte Wiederspiegelung dessen, was Reginald Kenneth Dwight  - so sein bürgerlicher Name - mitmachen musste.

Ett porträtt av det musikaliska underbarnet Reginald Kenneth Dwight som under namnet Elton John blev en av populärmusikens största låtskrivare, artister och stjärnor. I början 90-talet var tiden mogen för en återkomst av Elton John. Efter åratal av oinspirerade plattor, halvdana konserter och privata problem klev en mognare och mer sober Elton ut i strålkastarljuset. Med förnyat engagemang i sin musik och publik var Elton som född på nytt. 2004 inledde Elton sin turnéföreställning "The Red Piano" i Las Vegas, en show med musikaliska återblickar på en lång fruktbar karriär. Programmet gjordes av Maths Broborg i mars 2012.

Ett porträtt av det musikaliska underbarnet Reginald Kenneth Dwight som under namnet Elton John blev en av populärmusikens största låtskrivare, artister och stjärnor. Från genombrottet 1970 till mitten av decenniet släppte Elton John flera album varje år. Med hjälp av strålande medmusiker, lyhörda arrangemang och helgjutna produktioner fick Elton Johns och textförfattaren Bernie Taupins tidlösa låtmaterial extra guldkant. 1973 nådde Elton John sin formtopp med dubbelalbumet "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" - en provkarta på hans sprudlande kreativitet och musikalitet. Programmet gjordes av Maths Broborg i mars 2012.

Diese Woche geht es um einen der größten Songschreiber, einen tollen Entertainer und auch einen Überlebenskünstler. Um Superstar zu werden hat er zuerst seinen Namen geändert und dann auch sein Auftreten. Aus dem schüchternen Reginald Kenneth Dwight wurde der schrille Elton John. Als Superstar hat er nichts im Leben ausgelassen, hat seinem Körper viel zugemutet, wäre an den Drogen fast zugrunde gegangen, wenn er nicht gerade noch rechtzeitig die Reißleine gezogen hätte. Im Musikkosmos streifen wir durch die turbulenten Jahrzehnte mit Elton John.

ALBUM SPOTLIGHT: Elton John — Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” September, 1973 Elton John's seventh studio release is considered his best by many. The double album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road contains many well known hits including the title track, the Marilyn Monroe-inspired “Candle in the Wind,” and the 11-minute epic “Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding.” Elton John initially intended to record this album in Jamaica, but political instability and the upcoming Frazier/Foreman boxing match caused the production to be moved to Chateau d'Herouville in France. Friend of the Show John Lynch returns to help us showcase this monster rock album from 1973. All the Girls Love Alice This deeper cut in a minor key deals with prostitution and lesbianism. Tempo changes between the verses and chorus with a groovy fuzzy guitar distortion give this track its distinctive sound. Liberty music was originally trying to get John and writer/partner Bernie Taupin to write songs for other artists, but they decided to write it for themselves. **Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting ** This well-known track was inspired by Taupin's experience in local pubs as a lad — it was banned on a number of radio stations because of fears that it would inspire violence. At age 15, Elton John was actually playing in pubs. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road The title track hearkens to a simpler childhood time, removed from celebrity and high society. Reginald Kenneth Dwight would change his name to Elton John inspired by two blues players he liked. Grey Seal Another deeper track from the album is driven by piano riffs and interesting key and tempo changes. If you don't understand the lyrics to this song, you're in good company - Elton John doesn't understand the lyrics either! ENTERTAINMENT TRACK: **Super Friends Theme Song ** This staple of Saturday morning cartoons featured DC superheroes...“Meanwhile, back in the Halls of Justice...” STAFF PICKS: **Looking Glass - “Jimmy Love Mary-Anne” ** Wayne brings us the yacht rock this week. If you think this sounds like "Brandy," there's a reason for it. This is their follow-up top-40 hit. Story songs like this were popular in the early '70's. **The Edgar Winter Group - “Free Ride” ** Bruce's staff pick brings the boogie from the debut album from The Edgar Winter Group. Ronnie Montrose and Rick Derringer were also on this album. Jim Croce - Bad Bad Leroy Brown Special Guest Host stepping in for Brian, John Lynch introduces another storytelling song with amazing lyrics like, "badder than old King Kong, and meaner than a junkyard dog." Unfortunately, Croce would die in a plane crash in this month. Chicago - Just You 'n' Me Rob takes the tempo down with a horn-driven hit. This was the second single released from "Chicago VI." The song was inspired by an argument that trombone player James Pankow had with his girlfriend - shortly thereafter his wife. LAUGH TRACK: **Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Crypt Kickers - Monster Mash​ ** Ahead of Halloween 1973, this song was moving up the charts. Originally released in 1962, the song was re-released in 1973.

En el año 2004 la revista Rolling Stone le otorgó el puesto 49 en su lista de los 100 mejores artistas de la historia (entendiendo la mencionada revista el término "artista" no en su sentido real -no hay un solo escritor en dicha lista, por ejemplo- sino como equivalente de intérprete de música ligera anglosajona desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX). Sus múltiples reconocimientos incluyen el título de Sir luego de ser nombrado miembro de la Orden del Imperio Británico por la reina Isabel II. De acuerdo con la revista Billboard, es el tercer artista más grande de todos los tiempos en los Estados Unidos, sólo por detrás de The Beatles y Madonna.
