Artist: Bryan Adams
From the mid-'80s to the mid-'90s, Canadian singer/songwriter and guitarist Bryan Adams was one of the most successful recording artists in popular music worldwide. Usually dressed in blue jeans, sneakers, and white T-shirts, the energetic performer stalked stages around the globe, electric guitar in hand, singing his own up-tempo pop/rock songs... [+] Read More
Artist: Frank Sinatra
Frank Sinatra was arguably the most important popular music figure of the 20th century, his only real rivals for the title being Bing Crosby, Elvis Presley, and the Beatles. In a professional career that lasted 60 years, he demonstrated a remarkable ability to maintain his appeal and pursue his musical goals despite often countervailing trends.... [+] Read More
Artist: Rascal Flatts
Five studio albums into their incredible career, the members of Rascal Flatts find themselves firmly atop the music world. Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney have scaled unbelievable heights in the eight years since their debut, and yet with the release of Still Feels Good, they find their fortunes still rising. For proof, they need to... [+] Read More
Artist: Eagles
With five number one singles and four number one albums, the Eagles were among the most successful recording artists of the 1970s; at the end of the 20th century, two of those albums, Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 and Hotel California, ranked among the ten best-selling albums ever, according to the certifications of the Record Industry...

Artist: Ady Semel
Pop music manager Ady Semel briefly crossed over from the business to the musical side of things when he collaborated with one of his clients, Scott Walker, on some of the songs on Walker's 1970 album 'Til the Band Comes In. The Israeli Semel had become successful in England with singers Esther and Abi Ofarim, who had a #1 hit in the UK in 1968... [+] Read More
Artist: Gwen Stefani
Before she discovered she could write songs, Gwen Stefani was looking forward to a life of marriage, children, and white picket fences. When her brother introduced her to ska and new wave music, it set off a chain of events that would eventually lead to millions of albums sold and a Madonna-sized public image that extended past music and into...

Artist: Triste Janero
From Dallas, the late-'60s quintet Triste Janero played rather out-of-fashion easy listening vocal music that skirted both the softest border of pop/rock, and the breezy, Brazilian vocal pop-jazz by the likes of Sergio Mendes. Their 1969 single, "Rene de Marie," was a hit in Dallas, and they made an obscure album for the White Whale label that... [+] Read More
Artist: Just Us
The Just Us duo consisted of Chip Taylor -- most famous for writing "Wild Thing" and "Angel of the Morning" -- and Al Gorgoni, most noted for his many contributions as a session musician and producer. In the mid-'60s, they made a rare album for Kapp, I Can't Grow Peaches On a Cherry Tree, which certainly contained nothing on the order of "Wild... [+] Read More
Artist: The Bee Gees
No popular music act of the '60s, '70s, '80s, or '90s has experienced more ups and downs in its popularity, or attracted a more varied audience across the decades than the Bee Gees. Beginning in the mid- to late '60s as a Beatlesque ensemble, they quickly developed as songwriters in their own right and style, perfecting in the process a... [+] Read More
Artist: The Cure
Out of all the bands that emerged in the immediate aftermath of punk rock in the late '70s, the Cure was one of the most enduring and popular. Led through numerous incarnations by guitarist/vocalist Robert Smith (born April 21, 1959), the band became notorious for their slow, gloomy dirges and Smith's ghoulish appearance. But the public image... [+] Read More
Artist: Dionne Warwick
It is easier to define Dionne Warwick by what she isn't rather than what she is. Although she grew up singing in church, she is not a gospel singer. Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan are clear influences, but she is not a jazz singer. R&B is also part of her background, but she is not really a soul singer, either, at least not in the sense that... [+] Read More
Artist: The Gentle People
Tri-continental ambient lounge group the Gentle People are a bizarre amalgam of influences and affinities, combining the esoteric club culture of the 1990s with the cocktails-and-tiki-trinkets kitsch of the 1950s, hitting just about every opportunity for nostalgic, cheesball second-hand embarrassment in between. Signed in the U.K. to Richard... [+] Read More
Artist: Forum
The Forum were a one-man, two-woman easy listening vocal group with sunshine pop overtones, landing a number 45 hit with "The River Is Wide" in 1967 (the song also became a Top 40 hit for the Grass Roots a couple of years later). "The River Is Wide" sounded something like an easy listening spin on the Righteous Brothers, particularly in Phil... [+] Read More

In fact, he had more pop hits than any other orchestra leader during the rock & roll era. Vaughn was also the musical director for many of the hitmakers on Dot Records, including Pat Boone, the Fontane Sisters, and Gale Storm. As a pop... [+] Read More

Artist: Skah Shah
Formed in Haiti as Shleu-Shleu, Skah Shah was reorganized by vocalist Joe Ely "Cubano" Telfort after he moved to New York in the mid-'70s. Their approach to Haiti's compas and zouk traditions has been described by http://www.real.com as "easy rhythms (that) are inviting for dancers who are entertained by vaguely operatic vocals and seductive...

Artist: Henry Thomas Smart
Smart was an excellent organist who was not only self-taught on the instrument but about the instrument as well. He was such an expert that he was called to examine, build or rebuild organs in London, St. Andrews in Glasgow, Leeds, Dublin, and Christ Church Cathedral. He was an organist at St. Philip's church in London and was also a music... [+] Read More
Artist: Shai
At the end of 1992, the four-man urban contemporary vocal group Shai shot to the top of the R&B and pop charts with their debut album, ...If I Ever Fall in Love, and its number one title track. Although they sometimes lack quality material, the smooth silkiness of their voices usually makes such weaknesses easy to ignore; the group has remained... [+] Read More
Artist: The Hollow Point
Over the past year, The Hollow Point has become a rapidly growing band with the potential to stand out as one of the greater bands of the Midwest. With an emotionally charged rock music style and a passionate stage presence, the band projects enough intensity to kick you in the face and at the same time enough intellect to challenge the mind....

Artist: The Swingle Singers
A French vocal group famed for tackling all manner of classical material (baroque, fugues, madrigals, orchestral overtures) and switching them to an a cappella swing setting, the Swingle Singers was formed in Paris during the early '60s by American expatriate Ward Swingle. By the time of their 1963 album debut, the group comprised eight voices... [+] Read More
Artist: Ray Charles
Ray Charles was the musician most responsible for developing soul music. Singers like Sam Cooke and Jackie Wilson also did a great deal to pioneer the form, but Charles did even more to devise a new form of black pop by merging '50s R&B with gospel-powered vocals, adding plenty of flavor from contemporary jazz, blues, and (in the '60s) country....
