April 21, 2024 The Beatles
Please, Please Me…
This was the first album by The Beatles. The album was a mixture of mostly cover songs and originals released in 1964. I mostly give the history of the covers. You might be surprised when you learn the origins of over half of this album.
My favorite song was “Twist & Shout,” when I was 4 years old, and man was I surprised when I saw The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show and learned that John, Paul, George and Ringo weren’t black! For this to make sense please press the ‘play’ button.

April 21, 2024Eagles - the group who outsold Thriller
What makes a band awesome is harmony, it is also the key to a band’s longevity. But, this the ingredient that only the Eagles half way.
The members of Eagles were four multi-talented, creative musical geniuses, but none of them could get along with the founding member Don Henley.

The group created six studio albums, each did better than the last. But, success isn’t enough to keep a group together. The band’s manager released a greatest hits without the band’s consent, and this compilation is still selling copies. In fact, Eagles 1971 to 1975 has outsold Michael’s Thriller selling 38 million copies! Hotel California, equally is one of the highest selling albums in American history selling 26 million copies! And the single has sold over 3 million copies.
The Eagles were riding high, but something bad was brewing inside Glenn Frey and one night at a benefit show in 1980 for a US Senator, angers flared and Mr Glenn erupted.

March 25, 2024 Madona
Madonna arrived in New York City and it was all or nothing. She ate when she could, slept where she could and did whatever it took to further her brand. Getting to the top is all that mattered and Madonna used people to get what she wanted and then, she pushed them aside.
Madonna has a dozen number one hit singles and over thirty top tens, she is The Queen of Pop!
In 1984 in an interview with Dick Clark on American Bandstand, Madonna said that she wants to rule the world. In this class we learn the rise of a queen, and the story of how she was snubbed by her peers and passed over when a group was selected for the biggest ever created.

March 11, 2024 Prince 1977-1984
It was Spring 1978, my freshman year, when I first heard of Prince and “Soft & Wet.” Prince would be a high school senior. Different schools, in fact, I don’t know him. But like a big brother, Prince was there at every event in my life back then. And like a little brother, I followed everything he did. I bought every album and learned every song.
Prince, above everything else, or, if nothing else, is consistent. Like him, hate him or love him, Prince released material that earned a place someone’s chart. And in 1984, Prince created the ultimate soundtrack for my perfect summer.

February 13, 2024 Martha Wash: The Voice of Dance Music
Martha Wash has the voice, but she never had the look, and she was okay with that. God gave her the gift to create amazing sound and shared almost freely. It was one day while channel surfing that Ms Martha learned that she was being exploited, and that the world was being lied to. Ms Martha was the voice behind Black Box and C+C Music Factory, and in both of groups Ms Martha was impersonated. In Black Box by Katrin Quinol and in C+C by Zelma Davis. Rapper Freedom Williams said that he could find at least ten women to sing in place of Martha Wash, but the courts didn’t thinks so. Martha sued both Black Box, C+C Music Factory and the labels behind them. And Martha Wash’s wins are not only a testament, her wins also changed legislation for future artists.

Nancy had been dead maybe four hours. When her body was found.
A witness said, that Sid had taken 30 sleeping pills seven or eight hours sooner.
There was a knife,
Actually, there were two.
But the blades didn’t match the wound and nether knife had any prints.
Nancy Spungen’s death is Punk’s
Whodunnit?
And I would love to tell you about it.
No one liked Nancy Spungen.
The groupie, dealer, addict and prostitute was rude, crude and controlling. Someone beat and then stabbed her, Sid was beaten also.
And their money was gone.
Just like Romeo and keeping to his deal. Sid Vicious kills himself also.
The police closed the case,
leaving us all with an unanswered question.
Who done it?
Who killed Nancy Spungen?

The Villain Behind The Runaways
The Runaways were five talented teen-aged girls lured together by songwriter and promoter Kim Fowley to be rock n roll’s answer to Grand Funk Railroad. Along with their dreams of fame and fortune, came repeated abuse and exploitation.

It has been almost fifty years since “Cherry Bomb” and the four surviving women who performed this Billboard hit not only hate the man who created them, they also hate each other.
