Jazz has shaped the world we know today. Jazz would have never been as popular without the help of the famous musicians: Jelly Roll Morton, Joe King Oliver, Sidney Bechet, Louis Armstrong, and Duke Ellington. These people helped spread the new genre through radio, railroads, and the records that they played. Where did this all start? The jazz age began in New Orleans where a certain King was born.

Have you ever thought of letting someone or something go for a better life? Prince Royce writes about leaving his loved one with a letter in his song “Mi Ultima Carta”. Prince’s music genre is bachata, his music has a share of forgiveness, letting go, and love. Although letting someone go hurts, it 's okay to let go for your own good or theirs.

Roy Brown lived in many different places during his life. He was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on September 10, 1925. His mother, Mahalia Jackson, was a church singer and organist. His father, Yancy Brown, was a plasterer as well as a bricklayer. Being a plasterer and bricklayer requires them to move a lot. During their move, Brown sang in churches and worked in the sugarcane field. Brown was raised in a spiritual household so it come to no surprise at age 12 he formed a quartet called Rookie four that sung religious songs; however, he wanted to become a professional boxer. Brown was always compared to his mother because their singing style was equivalent: voice, tone and precise articulation. Sadly his mother died two years later when he

David Leonhardt’s “Chance and Circumstance” is an intriguing story about Malcolm Gladwell and his outstanding achievements in the field of journalism. He goes further into Gladwells childhood, being raised by some accomplished parents. “His mother was a psychotherapist, and his father was a mathematician.” (Leonhardt 579). Leonhardt imposes this certain idea to the reader, the idea known as “chance”. Considering how gladwell had successful parents influenced his way to becoming a successful journalist was evidently by chance. He also continues on this topic, stating that, “he is instead a talented person who took advantage of singular opportunities” (Leonhardt579). I see myself similar to Malcolm Gladwell not in a journalistic point of view, but in the art of music. Music has

The Purple Rain film followed the same redemption storyline as the record, and it added fictional flesh to Prince’s journey of moral enlightenment. It was the tale of a kid from a broken family who had trouble with relationships. He was a controlling brat who shut people out of his life. He was unable to hold onto love, until he finally found peace with who he was, and he found that peace by discovering a bond with his father. The movie aggregated all the elements of his past that were legendary in his own mind: battles between hometown bands, his parents’ destructive marriage, the refuge he found in his basement hideaway, his band members’ nagging frustration with their despot.

Presley grew up poor most of the childhood life, and the first exposure to music he had was the weekly church services. Elvis’s family was very religious, and Elvis sang gospel music in church at a very young age. Elvis was given his very first guitar by his parents, soon after he started teaching himself how to play. In 1948, Elvis’s family moved to Memphis, Tennessee, where Elvis entered L.C. Humes High School. Presley played guitar and sang in several talent shows all throughout high school, and the appreciation that the audience gave him is what inspired him to work more on music. After he graduated,

After the death of Prince this month on April 21st, so much has been said and written about him that one has to sort through all of the information and find the true facts. He was an extremely private person even though he was such a huge celebrity. The one true fact that can not be disputed is that Prince Rogers Nelson was one of the most naturally gifted and talented musicians the world has ever seen. Was he a hero? You decide.

Humble and kind by Tim Mcgraw was released at the end of 2015. This song reached the top of the, Billboard Top Country Songs chart. We decide to choose this song because we felt it had a great message (to be kind and humble while being grateful). along with being very good in general. Another thing we really liked, which made the choice to pick this song easy was that flow of the song (word to word) was very smooth and made the song a lot easier to listen to.

“Thank you, thank you very much” is what Elvis used to say back in the day when he was the King of Rock and Roll. Although Elvis was a great singer parents did not want their kids to watch Elvis, because the older generation did not like Elvis, but the younger people thought he was very entertaining. Elvis had created Rock and Roll, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and he earned 14 Grammy nominations, which makes my artist one of the best Rock and Roll singers of the 20th century.

We all know what one-hit wonders are. They are those singers who have tried to make it big but fell short of fuel and later faced oblivion after that one humongous track. Sadly, the music industry is just about identifying which singer would have the staying power, and much as how passion and determination wants to keep up with the game, fame is just not for everyone. While there are a lot of singers who have been classified as a one-hit wonder, there are some who are experiencing otherwise. With the right infusion of looks, talent and undying urgency to be on top, there are singers who managed to somehow establish their name, despite the not-so-huge following. They are the ones who

The artist I will be discussing for my research project is the country music legend and superstar, Garth Brooks. He has been a big fan of mine my entire life, and I love his music. When he was just starting out, he did not have much success. He went to Oklahoma State University and sang in a bar called Willy’s Saloon down on the Strip in Stillwater. Us Oklahomans always feel warm hearted towards stars like him that realize throughout all of his fame and success; he still remembers and is proud of where he came from.
