#rockandroll — Public Fediverse posts

"Sh-Boom" ("Life Could Be a Dream") is a #doowop song by the #RAndB vocal group #theChords. It was written by James Keyes, Claude Feaster, Carl Feaster, Floyd F. McRae, and William Edwards, members of the Chords, and was released in 1954. It is sometimes considered the first doo-wop or #rockAndRoll record to reach the top ten on the pop charts (as opposed to the R&B charts), as it was a top-10 hit that year for both the Chords (who first recorded the song).

Finally made it to the #RockAndRoll #HallOfFame. Underwhelming. It's like one good floor in the basement plus a video, garage band, the walk of fame and the gift shop.

I'm not against such places but they need proper curation. Same with award shows. It should be less about who is great but instead what's the bigger story and why do these artists, events and scenes matter. Provide multiple perspectives like a great museum does.

It's fine but you're better off with #500Songs.

"Blueberry Hill" is a popular American song published in 1940 and first recorded and released by #SammyKaye in 1940 on #RCAVictor. It is best remembered for its 1950s #rockAndRoll version by #FatsDomino. #GlennMiller peaked at no. 2 on the Billboard pop singles chart in 1940 with his recording on #RCA #BluebirdRecords featuring #RayEberle on vocals. In 1941, #GeneAutry made a recording of this song for #RegalZonophone. He also sang it in the 1941 movie #TheSingingHill.

From Gary Busey’s age-mismatched casting to invented radio stunts, omitted collaborators, and a sanitized ending, The Buddy Holly Story trades accuracy for dramatic convenience, reshaping Buddy Holly’s life into a more familiar Hollywood myth than the real story.

Watched a very interesting (to me) 2 hr episode of AmericanMasters on #PBS about the life & career of #JanisIan.

I have a few recordings of hers but didn't realize how meaningful her music was starting with #SocietysChild (1967), which spoke to the then (& still now in some places) controversial issue of inter-racial dating & marriage, thru #BreakingSilence (1992), which spoke to the issues of gender identity & the holocaust.

If you haven't seen this documentary yet, you can watch it here:

#Sweet were pretty much my fave band when I was all of maybe five or six years old. Catchy hooks, solid grooves, and vocal harmonies that gave #Queen a run for their money.
