Otis Redding
Born:
Forty years after his passing, the legacy of Otis Redding remains stronger than ever. As the decades have gone by since December 10, 1967 when the world tragically lost one of its greatest soul singers, the power and impact of this Georgia-born R&B pioneer’s music and career shows no signs of diminishing. Through a recorded legacy that spans a mere six years (less than a decade?) but is filled with classic after classic, the man whose distinctive music influenced British rock stars and his American soul music peers alike continues to be accorded and afforded the global recognition and (borrowing the title of one of his most enduring compositions) respect he richly deserves

In From the Beginning: New Orleans Music History with Deacon John Moore
by Thomas Cole
Well, you know, growing up I was the golden boy of the family, because I could sing.

The !!!!Beat: The Rise And Fall Of The "Hippest Show On Television"
by Kyle Simpler
During the mid-1960s, American television programming often featured syndicated music variety shows.

Sly and the Family Stone: The First Family: Live At Winchester Cathedral 1967
by Doug Collette
The glossy silver foil finish inside and outside the covers of The First Family: Live at Winchester Cathedral 1967 to some degree belies the sound quality of the music inside. But the assiduous effort applied to the sonics of the original recordings--by Sly and The Family Stone's first manager Rich Romanello--is right in line with the ...

by Giuseppe Segala
Nato a Oxford nel 1981, Alexander Hawkins è musicista di punta della propria generazione e della scena contemporanea internazionale.

Roberto Roema Y Su Apollo Sound: Roberto Roema Y Su Apollo Sound
by Chris May
Britain has been enriched by immigrants from many parts of the world, but people arriving from Spanish-speaking Central America and the Caribbean have been relatively few in number, and far less visible. So in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when salsa edged out of Spanish Harlem towards the US mainstream, Britain was mostly left out ...
Rolling Stones: Live At The Wiltern (2CD/DVD)
by Doug Collette
Cowed as the Rolling Stones may have been by the tragedy that was Altamont in December 1969, 'the greatest rock and roll band in the world' nevertheless came to take some risks as their career evolved in the wake of the Mick Jagger/Keith Richards rapprochement in the late Eighties. Machine-like as the operation became ...
