Arroe Collins Music's Lost History

One of the biggest songs in history set free in the center of the Disco movement but it was never meant to be connected to the genre.  Hey!  It won the trio a Grammy award.

In order to gain access to a 1980's following it meants long tours, interviews and MTV.  Nope.  She wanted nothing to do with it.  Yet, this singer songwriter has become one of the most successful performers in history.

They were and stil are driven by the orignal vision of being one of very few Anglo American bands to go from the studio right to the arena.  Then something changed dramatically.  If it wouldn't have happened there may not have been a Bon Jovi or Guns and Roses.

It features unbelievablle amounts of structure but had to be creatively sewn together not by one artist but a legend from Canada who invited one of the most unbelievable success stories to the surface of sound without truly finishing the beat.  It had to include vintage Hip Hop artists of the past and it worked.

Washington State called this artist a musical pioneer while MTV said not in my house.  Yet it's still being played on wedding day dance floors.

Some critics claim she's moving too quickly.  Obviously they've not done their homework.  She's not an overnight sensation and has spent unbelievable amounts of time crafting her skills as a singer songwriter.  It was Tik Tok that introduced her to the world.

Written to create a movement in music only to learn the artist who made it famous actually regretted it.

The band's new album wasn't performing the way record company decision makers needed it to.  It meant going back into the studio to pick out a tune about another musicians butt.  What?  Preserving a music legends dance moves made this one song a legacy all its own.

His goal has always been to fuse music.  It had to be about his musical influences which included his violin playing father.  The shocker?  He was invited to play at the original Woodstock without an album to back him up?

It doesn't represent one person but rather multiple generations.  The resilence that follows after being knocked down but not knocked out.
