Born in 1949 in Freeholden, New Jersey, Bruce Springsteen grew up among the working class heroes who would go on to populate many of his songs. He learned to play guitar in garage and blues outfits, taking his inspiration from Bob Dylan, The Byrds, and The Beatles. By the time of his 1973 debut, Greetings From Asbury Park, NJ, he’d already forged his own unique identity.
Though he spent time playing the New York City folk circuit in the early ’70’s, Springsteen’s true home was the lonesome back streets and industrialized wasteland of New Jersey. Girding himself with some of his closest musical compatriots (dubbed the E Street Band after a location in Belmar, New Jersey), he caught the attention of Columbia Records and had his first deal by 1972. His first album immediately established him as a social commentator on the order of Bob Dylan.

Bruce Springsteen - Girls In Their Summer Clothes

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and rock legend Bruce Springsteen framed the working man’s concerns with a combination of muscular, hard-driving rock and a poet’s sensitive flair for phrasing. Time and Newsweek magazines ran simultaneous, competing cover stories on him in 1975, and like Elvis Presley before him in the 1950s, Springsteen transcended music to embody rock and roll in the American culture of the 1980s. His 1984 release, the multi-platinum Born in the U.S.A, was a rock landmark which featured on the cover the back of a man standing before a U.S. flag wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans, with a red bandanna tucked into his back pocket. This Springsteen album cover was a cultural image as familiar to 1980s America as then-president Ronald Reagan. It was one of the biggest selling records in history, and launched seven top ten singles.

With The Wild, The Innocent, & The E Street Shuffle, also released in 1973, Springsteen began to incorporate a more upbeat sound into his introspective lyricism. Tracks like “The E Street Shuffle” and “Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)” allowed the band to stretch out and contribute to the feel of the songs. Line-up changes over the next year made the transformation complete. By 1975, original members Clarence Clemons (sax), Garry Tallent (bass) and Danny Federici (organ) had been augmented by guitarist Steve Van Zandt, keyboardist Roy Bittan, and drummer Max Weinberg.

Born To Run, released as America suffered through oil embargos, record unemployment, and involvement in Vietnam, struck a chord with audiences world-wide. Featuring the blistering title track, as well as forlorn post-teen anthems such as “Thunder Road” and “Backstreets,” the album encapsulated not only a universal sense of entrapment, but offered a small grain of hope to a world weary of war, poverty, and social injustice. Arguably his career highlight, Born To Run also remains one of the best-selling rock albums of all time.

In 2001, Bruce released The Rising. After interviewing the survivors and family members of victims, he managed to create an album as socially relevant and universal as Nebraska, Born To Run, and Born In The USA. 2005 saw the release of Devils And Dust, another mostly-solo/acoustic album. He kicked off a world tour in Detroit in April, 2005. Though he’s definitely a man caught between two worlds- the tortured singer/songwriter and the larger-than-life, rev’ ‘em up rock n’ roll star- Bruce Springsteen continues to capture the imagination of both longtime fans and a curious younger generation.

Led Zeppelin is a popular British band best known for their hit ‘Stairway to Heaven’ as well as for co-creating the music genre of heavy metal. Led Zeppelin was rock’s first real Heavy Metal band. Yet many of their fans were not even fans of metal music. They came about after guitarist Jimmy Page, (who was rock’s most sort after session man in the early and mid sixties) was left with what was the remains of theYardbirds. He had join the Yardbirds to record with them on what would be their final album, Little Games in 1967. In the spring of 1968, Page played lead guitar on Donovan’s song “Hurdy Gurdy Man” which also featured bassist John Paul Jones. Jones had heard rumors that the Yardbirds might break up and told Page he would like to be part of any new band he might put together. By the summer of ‘68 the Yardbirds’ frontman Keith Relf, along with James McCarty left the band leaving behind Page and bassist Chris Dreja with the rights to the name and obligation of fulfilling an upcoming fall tour. Page wanted to hire vocalist Terry Reid as Relf’s replacement, but Reid was still with Procol Harum and suggested Page check out his friend, Robert Plant, who was singing for a band called Hobbstweedle. Since their nine albums were recorded between 1968 and 1979, Led Zeppelin remains one of the most popular bands of all time, having sold more than 300 million records and millions of concert tickets worldwide.

The quartet was conceived at the end of the Hippie love era, in a group marriage of blues, rock and roll, soul, rockabilly, folk ballad, jazz, classical and Oriental music, and something else scattered over some woozy sounds of their songs. It was their mutual artistic stimulation, their group interplay and imagination that incorporated mythology and mysticism and concocted their inimitable style, and established the concept of album-oriented rock career.

Led Zep kept touring through 1970. They found the time to record their third LP and Led Zeppelin III was released that October. Although it still had some heavy numbers like “Immigrant Song”, the album was a little more mellow than the first two albums. That December they started to record their fourth album and sessions lasted till the next summer, several things held up the new album and the LP would not be released till the end of 1971. The band not only wanted the album to be untitled, but wanted nothing written on it; no credits or any text anywhere on the album, on its inside or outside sleeves. They wanted the music to do the talking. They were eventually talked out of it by Atlantic Records and there were credits added to the inside paper sleeve, but still, nothing was written on the front cover to identify the album or who put it out, and the album was left untitled by the band. It did get to be know unofficially as Led Zeppelin IV. The songs on the album were indeed powerful and the album reach number two on the charts. One of the songs was “Stairway to Heaven”, which would not only go down as Led Zep’s best song ever, but rock’s best ever song too, as far as most rock fans feel. In 1972 the band did less touring and worked on their fifth album. It would be released in the spring of ‘73 and titled Houses Of The Holy. Once again the album was filled with a little bit of everything and was another top seller, reaching number one, despite bad press reviews about it. The tour that supported the album broke just about all of the then records for attendance, as did the nightly gate cash receipts. Near the end of the tour while in New York City, someone broke into their hotel’s safety deposit box and got off with the first nights gross from the NYC gig, $205,000.00 in cash. It was the single highest theft from a deposit box in Manhattan’s history. Yet the band’s members didn’t seem to be fazed one bit by it.
Jimmy Page was an experienced lead guitarist who worked with multi-instrumentalist John Paul Jones in 1967, and they agreed to work on the next project. In August 1968 Page invited Robert Plant and John Bonham to join his band, the New Yardbirds, for a September tour in Scandinavia. In October they took the name Led Zeppelin, which stemmed from a humorous conversation among several musicians about their chances of going down like a lead balloon. However, British bands were highly anticipated in the USA, and the Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun signed the new band without even seeing them.

Their debut album, ‘Led Zeppelin’, recorded and mixed in just about 36 hours in October 1968 at Olympic Studios in London, kicked open the door for all extremes and experiments. The phallic image of the blown up Hindenburg airship on the cover, designed by George Hardie, announced the hardening of rock and coming of the new super-group. While ascending to musical success as a powerhouse band, Led Zeppelin explored a variety of styles, from English folk ballads to blues and rock, and created their own inimitable style.

Prior to the release of their first album, Led Zeppelin made live appearances at the University of Surrey and in London in October 1968, then went on their first American tour in December 1968. In their first year, Led Zeppelin made four concert tours in the USA, and another four tours in the UK. Their second album was recorded entirely on the road at several American recording studios, and was an even greater success than the first one. ‘Whole Lotta Love’, ‘Heartbraker’, ‘Living, Loving Maid’, and ‘Ramble On’ became big international hits.

Each member of the quartet contributed to their compositions, thus setting a fine example of group creativity. Their songs and albums rambled on with the highly versatile voice-guitar interplay. Plant’s incredible vocal range and Page’s enchanting guitar solos were as responsible for the band’s singularity as its musical wanderlust. Plant’s and Page’s musicianship was supported by the tight work of John Paul Jones on bass, and John Bonham on drums. The intense interaction of all four players on stage gave their live performances a visual counterpoint to well intertwined harmonic and rhythmic structures of their compositions.

Their third album, Led Zeppelin III, influenced by folk and Celtic music, offered more inventiveness with acoustic/electric sound-work, and revealed more of the band’s versatility with such compositions as the ‘Immigrant Song’ and ‘Since I’ve Been Loving You’. With the release of their 4th, and most popular album, Led Zeppelin achieved a reputation of the biggest band in the world. ‘Stairway to Heaven’ became the most played radio hit, several other songs became rock classics, and nobody knows how many more times their lines would help other musicians (like the opening riff from ‘How Many More Times’ was later used by Pink Floyd in their hit ‘Money’).

Capitalizing on the success of their first four albums, the band toured extensively in the 1970s. At that time they chartered a private jet, nicknamed The Starship, that carried the band’s name and later added the famous ‘Swan Song’ winged Apollo image on the tail. Going to California turned into a ritual of wildness and excess, most notably at the Hyatt House hotel on the Sunset strip in Los Angeles, known colloquially as the “Riot House” for a series of some most exciting off-stage events, such as riding a motorcycle inside the hotel and throwing TV set out of the window. Another scandal known as the ’shark episode’, down by the seaside, in a Seattle hotel, had contributed to their enormous popularity. One of their concerts under a heavy thunderstorm in Florida ended with police using tear gas, and led to a temporary pause in their concert tours.

During the 70s their career was interrupted several times by accidents, deaths and other unfortunate events. In 1980 John Bonham was getting sick again and again, until he shook many by his death, leaving others dazed and confused. It was nobody’s fault but his. In December 1980, Led Zeppelin disbanded, albeit the public could feel their presence. In 1982, a collection of out-takes from various sessions from the 1970s was released as their last album, Coda. During the 1980s the remaining three members experienced a serious communication breakdown, until they briefly united for a short set in 1985, and once again, in 1988, to play with Bonham’s son, Jason, for the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary show.

In 1994 Page and Plant showed their softer side when they performed live together on ‘MTV Unplugged’, which was released the same year as album titled ‘No quarter’. Then they made an international tour with an orchestra. In 1995 Page and Plant were joined by Jones when the band was indicted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, albeit the three former band-mates did not perform together. By that time Jimmy Page as well as Robert Plant had pursued individual careers touring and recording with their own bands.

Another ten years gone. Page’s and Plant’s call-and-response interplay took them through good times and bad times. Their sonic originality had sparked imagination and creativity in millions of open minds. Singers, songwriters, armies of music fans and a rainbow of dedicated ‘led heads’, as well as guitarists and guitar collectors worldwide remained united through the acquired experience and conditioning to the Led Zep sounds.

Hats off to Led Zeppelin, who opened the new extremes of musical expression, and are now back in the light confirming their presence. Their long anticipated reunion in December 2007 was a true celebration day. Their live performance was as tight as a rock band can be, and their living, loving song remains the same since we’ve been loving them, that’s the way!

Julio Iglesias (born September 23, 1943) in Madrid is Spain’s best selling singer in history and one of the best selling Hispanic singers of all time. Julio Iglesias has sold 250 million records and released nearly 80 records. He has performed approximately 5,000 concerts during his career. Julio Iglesias was the most popular Latin singer of the ’70s and ’80s, selling over 100 million albums around the world. Iglesias was a smooth, romantic crooner and his appeal translated to many different countries in many different languages.Initially, Iglesias planned to be a lawyer. As he studied, he was a goalkeeper for the Real Madrid football team. His career as an athlete was ended after an automobile accident in the mid-’60s.While he was recovering, Iglesias started playing guitar and writing songs. Before he began a musical career, he finished his law studies at Cambridge University. In 1968, he was a contestant at the 1968 Spanish Song Festival at Benidorm, singing his original song “La Vida Sigue Igual. Iglesias won the first prize at the contest, which led to a record contract with Discos Columbia, an independent record label.

 During the ’70s, he toured Europe and Latin America, gaining a large fan base with hits like 1975’s  Manuela. By the end of the decade, he was extremely popular — so popular, CBS International sought out a contract with him. He signed with the label in 1978. Iglesias began to record not only in Spanish, but in Italian and French as well. At the turn of the decade, Julio Iglesias began to pursue the American and British markets by concentrating on his English recordings. His efforts began to pay off in 1981, when his cover of “Begin the Beguine” became a number one hit. It was quickly followed by the compilation record Julio, which became a big success in England and America. However, his major crossover success was 1984’s 1100 Bel Air Place, a collection of duets. Featuring the Top Ten hit duet with Willie Nelson “To All the Girls I’ve Loved Before,” the album sold over three million copies in America and peaked at number five on the pop charts; it also spawned “All of You,” a hit duet with Diana Ross. Iglesias’ popularity continued to grow throughout the ’80s, although he only had one more pop crossover hit, 1988’s “My Love,” a duet with Stevie Wonder. By the 1990s, he had stopped courting the English pop market and concentrated on recording mainly in Spanish, as well as a handful of other languages. His popularity did not diminish at all in his third decade of recordings — he was still capable of selling millions of records and selling out concerts around the world.

The Jonas Brothers band consist of three brothers Kevin Jonas, Nicholas ‘Nick’ Jonas and Joseph ‘Joe’ Jonas. They were originally from Wyckoff New Jersey, where Kevin was born. Whilst Joe was born in Arizona and Nick in Texas. Music always played a major part in the brothers’ lives growing up in New Jersey. Their parents are both musicians, so gathering around the piano for sing-alongs was an essential part of regular family bonding, yet each brother found his own musical calling in a different way.Nick Jonas was originally working as a soloist and on Broadways when Columbia Records signed him but also discovered that ‘Kevin’ and ‘Joe’ also had musical talents. The three brothers decided to join together and make a band.
On August 8th 2006 the Jonas brothers released their first debut album “It’s about time” with Culombia records. But changed to Hollywood record and had an opportunity to record for Disney. They recorded a single ‘Year 3000′ for the movie ‘Meet the Robinson’s’ which was released on March 30th 2007. Also made video clips for the cartoon American Dragon and The Jungle Book. On August 7th 2007 the Jonas Brothers released their second album ‘Jonas Brothers’and their songs including ‘S.O.S’ and ‘Hold On’ became a hit. For now the brothers are just relishing in the experience of having other people hear their music live and making new fans one city at a time while they are on the road. “We’ve known for a while how it felt to be on stage, but we never knew how it would feel to have people love music that we’ve written and which we both play and sing. It’s very gratifying when fans come up to us after shows and tell us how much they relate to our songs,” says Joseph.
