Jimmy Irvin MUS 2015 6/2/14 Assignment #1 One of the most defining things to ever occur in the 1960’s and even in the history of America is that of “Beatle Mania.” The Beatles came to America in 1964 during the time that rock and roll had almost died completely. Even with their fame and success in Europe many American record companies didn not believe the hype of these shaggy haired Englishmen, often referring to them as “Peter Pans.” It was incredible how often the group of men were ignored. The band that would ultimately define and rebirth rock and roll as a musical genre was turned down by many American investors; even some of the members of the band were skeptical about their success in America. But during their visit to America they were shown how crazy their fans were. Paul McCartney was in absolute disbelief at the 4000 fans who showed up to greet them at the airport when their plane landed and this is coming from a man who had already experience chart topping success in many European countries.
La dolce vita, English style. The Beatles were the best selling product of that London, a city full of ambiguity and contradictions. The Beatles' birthplace was Liverpool.

He worked hard and used his talent to follow his dream. Some say that to be authentic you must be genuine, original, the real thing, In my opinion Billy Joel is all of those things. He is genuine by creating music that are a result of experiences, and moments in his life that are meaningful. A clear example of this would have to be the song "Piano Man" , one can really tell that he is making references to his life in the piano bar on Wilshire boulevard. Joel used his music to become new and original, he was on of the few to mix his music with rock and new wave genres.

October 2, 2012 ENC 1101 Lupe Fiasco is in my opinion one of the greatest artist of all time. He is a mainstream rapper with so much profound meaning to his songs.

Lupe Fiasco just released a new album called the Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album and it is awesome! His timing couldn’t have been anymore perfect now that Columbus Day is next week.
Otis Redding was one of the leading pioneers of his time and served as the pinnacle of soul music during the 1960's. Raised with a background in gospel music, Redding launched his career immediately when he needed to earn money in order to support his family. Although it wasn't his first time singing for a record label, he got his first real recording session when he was introduced to Jim Stewart of Stax Records. During the session, he was singing with Jimmy Jenkins, the leader of The Pinetoppers. After Jenkins failed to leave any kind of impression on Stewart, he decided to put Redding in the last part of the session.
