      <title>Remember 1959 With the Kingston Trio&#39;s &#39;Tom Dooley&#39; in Crystal Clear Stereo</title>
      <link>https://countrybucket.com/the-kingston-trios-tom-dooley/</link>

      <guid>https://countrybucket.com/the-kingston-trios-tom-dooley/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tom Dooley is a song that will always remain in the hearts of many Americans. This 1959 song topped the US Billboard Hot 100, Australian, and Canadian charts and made it to the UK top 5 singles chart. Its historical significance is traced back to Tom Dula, a gifted fiddle player who served the Confederacy as a musician in the civil war. After being released from captivity, he returned to his life and was involved with Ann Melton and other women, including Ann&#39;s cousin Laura Foster. Laura disappeared, and weeks later, her body was discovered in a shallow grave, stabbed in the heart. It was suspected that Tom murdered her and fled the county, and after a manhunt, he was arrested and sentenced to death.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

The bridesmaids, along with the bride, executed an eight-minute dance that spanned various dance genres—from the grace of ballet to the dynamic beats of hip-hop.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Paul Revere’s ‘Indian Reservation’ – Reliving 1971</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1971&amp;rsquo;s &amp;lsquo;Indian Reservation&amp;rsquo; was the biggest hit and best-selling single for Columbia Records. The song&amp;rsquo;s writer, John D. Loudermilk, was a country singer and songwriter who wrote hit songs for famous artists, including Chet Atkins, Johnny Cash, and The Everly Brothers. Mark Lindsay, whose ancestry was part Native American, thought it would be a good song to record, given that it highlighted the plight of the Cherokee Indians, who were displaced from their home in Georgia to a reservation in Oklahoma. The Eastern and Western bands of the Cherokee Nation became one again in 1984 when the tribes officially reunited.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;img class=&#34;aligncenter size-full wp-image-188314&#34; src=&#34;https://countrybucket.com/media/2024/10/20/2024-10-20-09-15/B1-Paul-Reveres-Indian-Reservation-Reliving-1971.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;Paul Revere&#34; width=&#34;1200&#34; height=&#34;630&#34; /&gt; &amp;lsquo;Indian Reservation&amp;rsquo; is a song that has left an indelible mark on many people&amp;rsquo;s minds. For instance, Hobbs N Shaw, a YouTube commenter, says it was the first 45 single he bought as a kid, and he still loves it now. Meanwhile, another commenter, Steve J, recalls the golden oldie from when he was in high school decades ago. In addition, the song&amp;rsquo;s lyrics seem to resonate with many people, especially those who understand the plight of the indigenous peoples. Suzanne Dulle, for example, says that the indigenous peoples suffered greatly, and their descendants carry much ancestral pain.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

However, the recording was a great success; even Prince was happy with the result. The song&#39;s title refers to the stress and chaos of starting a new work week, and the lyrics depict a woman&#39;s struggles to cope with a busy life.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hey there, fellow late-night TV aficionado! Just remember the year 1986? Let&#39;s go back, shall we? Ronald Reagan was sitting in the Oval Office, talking about tearing down walls. A loaf of bread cost you about 56 cents at your local grocery store. The average American home price was around $89,430, while a brand new car could set you back $9,255. Movie tickets were a steal at $3.71, and the average mortgage payment was around $644.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Towson University students perform a barbershop quartet cover of Herman&amp;#x27;s Hermits&amp;#x27; &amp;#x27;I&amp;#x27;m Into Somethin&amp;#x27; Good,&amp;#x27; showcasing their vocal talents in a classroom setting.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kids these days! Their heads are stuffed full of the latest pop music but they have no time for the classics. When they consign any music made before they were born to a metaphorical dusty attic, they really have no idea what they&#39;re missing.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Elvis Presley performs &amp;#x27;Love Me Tender&amp;#x27; on The Ed Sullivan Show, showcasing his powerful voice and magnetic stage presence in a restrained setting.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During the 1950s, especially during the second half of the decade, Elvis WAS music. He had incredible popularity that other entertainers could only hope for. Decades after his death, we still need Elvis in our lives. His music, cheeky grins, hip gyrations, and general personality remind us why he will always be &#39;The King.&#39;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;David Archuleta and Nathan Pacheco perform a touching duet of &amp;#x27;The Prayer&amp;#x27; in a cozy living room decorated for Christmas, with garlands and candles.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It all began with the musical version of &#34;Les Miserables.&#34; That&#39;s what inspired a then 6 year-old David Archuleta to become a singer. By the time he was 12, he&#39;d taken the Junior Vocal Champion prize on the television talent show &#34;Star Search.&#34; In 2008, at the tender age of 17, Archuleta was competing on &#34;American Idol.&#34; In the end, he came in second but had definitely made a name for himself and began releasing successful albums and singles. After a hiatus to serve as a missionary in Chile for the Mormon church, Archuleta is back on the musical scene.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

It was the Monkees&#39; last number one hit in the U.S.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jeffery Adam Gutt performed a powerful cover of Leonard Cohen&amp;#x27;s &amp;#x27;Hallelujah&amp;#x27; on The X Factor, impressing the judges with his vocal performance and emotional delivery.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Leonard Cohen, the Canadian singer/songwriter/poet/novelist, wrote a masterpiece that would become one of the most recorded songs in modern times. The song &#34;Hallelujah&#34; was first recorded by Cohen in 1984 on his album &#34;Various Positions,&#34; but received very little airplay. It wasn&#39;t until Welsh singer John Cale recorded it in 1991 that it became as popular as it is today.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Little did they know, she would soon go on to record a viral classic cover!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sophie Fatu wasn’t going to sing a regular children’s song when she stepped in front of that microphone. She chose the beloved Frank Sinatra tune “Fly Me to the Moon.” Going by the comments on her video, it’s safe to say that the world has just found its newest superstar!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jamie Dupuis performs &amp;#x27;The Sound of Silence&amp;#x27; on an 18-string harp guitar in a forest, creating a serene and moving musical experience.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Sound of Silence is one of the most covered songs of all time and rightly so – it&#39;s a timeless classing that resonates with so many people, ever since its debut in October 1964, from legendary duo Simon and Garfunkel. Since it became a number one hit on the Billboard charts of that year, it&#39;s been re-recorded by hundreds of other artists. But perhaps none so as moving or impressive, as the one you&#39;re about the hear now.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Formed years ago, Celtic Woman was an Irish collective music group consisting of some performers who had never worked together previously...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They were brought together by former directors of the musical extravaganza Riverdance, and they’ve gone on to conquer the world. Although the line up has changed extensively over the years, they have released 11 studio albums under that name, usually a mix of modern and traditional music with a strong influence from Celtic folk.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

It&#39;s been tried in a number of cities around the world, including Montreal, where a college student gave an amazing performance of Queen&#39;s &#34;Bohemian Rhapsody,&#34; as arranged for piano.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Does anyone know? Seriously. Anyone? I can&#39;t think of anyone either. Elvis was truly one of a kind. He had everything. He was a treasure and thankfully we still have his gift today. God bless him.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This 1956 screen test shows Elvis Presley performing his hit song &amp;#x27;Blue Suede Shoes&amp;#x27; in a mid-20th century studio, showcasing his natural hair and original svelteness.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The King is known far and wide. Take this for example: The guided tour at Graceland, Elvis’ old mansion in Memphis, Tennessee is conducted in 12 pre-recorded languages, and English is not the first language! (The first language on the list is Japanese. Seriously!) Well, just look at the pop music scene in Japan. Many Japanese pop stars of today look as if they still dance like the King of Rock and Roll.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In a powerful southern gospel performance, Elvis Presley&amp;#x27;s intense singing moved his backup singers to tears and inspired him to only make work he believed in.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Elvis put heart and soul into this performance and sang it in a southern gospel style, so intensely, it was claimed the three backing singers had tears running down their cheeks. It struck a deep chord with Elvis, too, as upon hearing the finished recording for the first time, he said, &#34;I&#39;m never going to sing another song I don&#39;t believe in. I&#39;m never going to make another picture I don&#39;t believe in.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

However, they are not normally expected to perform at a professional level.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And yet, some do achieve remarkable results. The Southlake Carroll High School Emerald Belles dance team delivered this amazing high kick routine at a recent performance.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For Alan Jackson, the song “Remember When” is very personal. Indeed, it is a song he personally penned,  but this haunting melody has a deeper meaning.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The words are reflective of his life from early in his marriage to his wife, Denise through the current times and into the future when his children have moved on to their illustrious careers.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Although record labels initially dismissed it because of its length, this song became Queen’s most popular hit as it stayed at the top of the charts in the United Kingdom for nine weeks.&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The lyrics to the song are well-known by people of all generations. It is important to note that Freddie Mercury himself said that this one song had initially been three songs he had in his head and he decided to combine them into one. The fact that the song is over 6 minutes long and people all over the world can sing every word is incredible.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

From their pure voices, stylish clothes, all the way down to their choreography.&lt;/h4&gt;&#xA;Motown hit the scene in the 1960s and was a new genre of music that was an immediate hit. This new sound combined incredible voices, lyrics, and rhythm which was unique to the music industry at that time.&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Most Motown performers were putting a beat to the already popular soul music, and the Temptations were one of those that made this sound famous. To enhance this sound, Motown studios would often use two drummers instead of one and as many as four guitar players. The final icing on the cake was a bit of studio trickery with an emphasis on the treble range for a crisp sound over AM radio.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

He did exactly that at one of his concerts in Alabama in 1977.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Elvis Presley was no doubt one of the true musical legends of all time. He could sing rock, country, even gospel.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

While he primarily sang country music, his deep, calm voi“Ragged Old Flag”ce is instantly recognizable, no matter what song he sings.&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Johnny Cash was known as an extremely patriotic man who loved his country dearly, probably mostly because he had served in the U.S. Air Force when he was younger. At eighteen, Johnny enlisted and after training was assigned to the 12th Radio Squadron Mobile of the U.S. Air Force Security Service based in Germany. Four years later, he was honorably discharged and returned to Texas.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Based on a French poem with original lyrics by Jacques Prévet, it was later translated into English by American lyricist, songwriter, and singer Johnny Mercer (Mercer wrote the lyrics to more than 1,500 songs, including compositions for movies and Broadway shows.)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;h3&gt;You&#39;ll do a double-take when you hear Johnny Cash’s sound-alike grandson.&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;It’s not uncommon for the children of famous singers or performers to follow in their parents’ or grandparents’ footsteps and join the “family business” themselves.  A few examples are Loretta Lynn’s granddaughter Tayla, Waylon Jennings’ son Shooter, and Toby Keith’s daughter Krystal.  Most of them have some advantages over the average new artist – usually, their parents have connections, and the child already knows the pros and cons of the industry from first-hand knowledge.&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While many children of country music artists have followed in the family business of music, very few of them actually sound like their already-famous relatives.  However, there is an exception in Johnny Cash’s family.  All of his daughters have been involved in the music industry in some shape or form, and his son John Carter Cash is also a singer and producer.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Much like Susan Boyle of season’s past, a plain exterior held a rich voice of unfathomable beauty.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

The harmony that came out when they sang together was fulfilling. When they appeared on stage, the audience was captivated by the unique sound that came from each member of the group.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

So you have people unable to touch other people, unable to love other people. This is a song about the inability to communicate. It&amp;rsquo;s called, &amp;ldquo;The Sound of Silence&amp;rdquo;.  &lt;/em&gt;— Paul Simon 1966&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Goode” – in front of a live studio audience in 1958.  Back when segregation was still a major issue, Chuck’s popularity surprisingly seemed to bridge racial barriers.   The partly-autobiographical song became a major hit, peaking at #2 on Billboard Hot R&amp;amp;B Sides chart and #8 on its Hot 100 chart.  Rolling Stone has ranked it seventh on its list of “500 Greatest Songs of All Time.”&lt;/p&gt;</description>

He is lovingly called The King of Rock and Roll, and he has given us many hits in his career. “Can’t Help Falling In Love” was one of them. Many people have tried their hands to cover this classic. In this video, we get to see an incredible rendition by an acapella group called &lt;a href=&#34;https://madlyodd.com/video-siblings-bocelli-and-dion-sing-the-prayer/&#34; data-lasso-id=&#34;243&#34;&gt;7th Ave&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Chris Bastien leads the group. He started his musical career at the age of 12 by singing along to the brilliant Celine Dion. He and his bandmates are amazing together. Wait till you hear this for yourself! They deliver a hauntingly beautiful rendition of this beloved classic that will send chills down your spine. This is one of the best covers I have ever heard.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Josh Groban rose in fame with his amazing voice ever since his debut. He was discovered in an unconventional fashion, while filling in for Andrea Bocelli’s part in a rehearsal for “The Prayer” with Celine Dion. That is when he surprised Dion and even David Foster with his voice. He was signed up, and hasn’t looked back ever since.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Even though sixty-five-year-old Rita Roelandt from Herzele has been singing since she was sixteen, she had given up on a singing career long ago.  Rita initially didn’t even want to audition for the show, but her daughter Jessey signed her up anyway.  So, she had little choice but to go ahead with the audition.  To imagine, this amazing talent almost stayed undiscovered!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

From the mid-’50s to the late ’80s, he put out his own unique blend of country, rock n roll, and pop. He sang everything from ballads to rock n roll and was a complete American original.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

What is most impressive about her is that she is only 4 years old. How many of us could form proper sentences much less memorize a whole dance routine at 4 years old? That is why everyone was so curious so see how she would perform when they learned her age.&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ella walked on to the stage with very slow, poised, deliberate steps. She then crouched down in the middle of the stage and waited for the music to begin. You can tell from the very start that it is going to be an amazing performance.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I was shocked!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Kenny Rogers is an incredible country artist. We have seen many people lose their touch over time, but The Gambler never really went out of style. He has often been considered as one of the significant icons of country music, and he has inspired a lot of performers as well. I have been a big fan ever since I first heard his songs many years ago.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Elvis Presley dubbed the &amp;ldquo;King of Rock n Roll&amp;rdquo; was also an excellent actor as well as a singer. He starred in nearly forty movies during his short life. Whenever he appeared in a movie, you could always be sure that there would be a song or two. Producers would have been crazy not to take advantage of Elvis&amp;rsquo;s singing abilities.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Soldiers making music together is far more compelling than soldiers making war. The diversity here is just as astounding as the music.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some songs are forgotten as soon as they’re performed. Others somehow take on a life of their own and survive whatever album or movie they were meant to fit into. ‘Unchained Melody’ by The Righteous Brothers is one such timeless song.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Carpenters were among the most celebrated musical duos of the 70s. Combing the smooth sound of the band and Karen&amp;rsquo;s ethereal voice was a winning decision. Another reason the group was so unique was that Karen had a beautiful contralto vocal range, which few female singers can boast about. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;93-year-old Jean Veloz danced her heart away at the National Jitterbugs Championship. Most impressively, she reproduced a routine she hasn’t danced in 74 years.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the background, a 19-year-old version of Veloz danced the same routine on a big screen. While in real life she was in pants and a sweater, 19-year-old Jean was wearing a poodle skirt-style dress as she danced in the 1943 movie “Swing Fever.”&lt;/p&gt;</description>

While studying at the Southeastern Oklahoma State University in Durant, the band met and started performing locally as &#39;The Mutineers. In 1964, they went to Dallas, where they signed a record deal with John Abnak Abdnor of a local record label. Initially, they were called &#39;The Five Americans&#39;, but after the British Invasion, they decided to change their name to be more American. The band had a few flops in 1965 but eventually had a breakthrough hit in 1967 with &#39;Western Union&#39;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

The year was 1968, and America was buzzing with the sound of the Beatles, the Stones, and Motown. A gallon of milk cost 34 cents, a dozen eggs just 53 cents, and a gallon of gas was a mere 34 cents. It was a time of optimism, hope, possibilities, and dreams, and no one embodied that spirit more than Tom Jones.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The year was 1966, and the Kinks were one of the era&#39;s most influential English rock bands. They were a part of the British Invasion in the United States, and their music was drenched in the English culture, with lyrics that reflected the English lifestyle. Despite not gaining the same level of success as their contemporaries, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, the Kinks forged a career out of authentic and sincere songs, driven by the pop sensibilities and caustic wit of the Davies brothers. One such track is their iconic number, &#39;Sunny Afternoon.&#39;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Four Seasons was one of the most famous pop groups of the 60s, and their song &#39;Let&#39;s Hang On!&#39; was a hit in 1965, reaching number 9 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Lyrically, the song follows the Four Seasons tradition of upbeat songs where Frankie Valli pleads with a girl. However, this song is a little extreme, with the guy admitting he cheated on her and enjoyed making her cry - more numerous indiscretions than you usually find in &#34;please take me back&#34; songs. Nevertheless, despite the controversial lyrics, it became a favorite among fans and remained a classic.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In 1959, Neil Sedaka&#39;s career was on the rocks before he wrote his hit song, &#34;Oh! Carol&#34;. Sedaka was inspired by studying Billboard magazine and analyzing every #1 record worldwide. He wanted to create a song with a girl&#39;s name in the title, talk in the middle like The Diamonds did in &#34;Little Darlin&#39;&#34;, and use the beats and harmony changes he learned from the world&#39;s top songs. After co-writing the song with Howard Greenfield, Sedaka had a hit that made it to #1 in the Netherlands and Belgium, #3 in the UK Singles Chart, #4 in Canada, #5 in the US Cash Box Top 100, and #9 in the US Billboard Hot 100.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

This song was written by Bobby Russell while battling cancer, and it was later performed by The Hollies in 1969, reaching high positions on several charts worldwide. The song&#39;s title comes from the logo for Boys Town, a community established in 1917 by Father Edward Flanagan in Omaha, Nebraska, where homeless and troubled boys could receive help. The phrase &#34;He Ain&#39;t Heavy, He&#39;s My Brother&#34; captures the spirit of Boys Town and has become synonymous with charity.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dion&#39;s 1961 hit song &#39;Runaround Sue&#39; captivates listeners even after almost six decades. The song topped the charts in several countries, including the US, Canada, and New Zealand, and warns against getting involved with a woman who runs around with other guys. Dion based the song on his former girlfriend, Sue, who was unfaithful and advised potential suitors to keep away from her. The song&#39;s success led to a humorous anecdote where Dion&#39;s wife claimed the song was about her, even though she knew it wasn&#39;t, to ensure people remembered her. The singer&#39;s next hit song, &#39;The Wanderer,&#39; released two months later, follows the same theme of a man who enjoys loving girls in different towns without getting attached.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1964’s ‘The Sound of Silence’ is perhaps the most interesting failure in recorded music history. The 1964 version didn’t chart or get noticed, leading to the break-up of Simon &amp; Garfunkel. What happened a few years later is pure musical magic.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When Disturbed performed the acclaimed American classic, they managed to give sound to perfection.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever since Simon and Garfunkel sang their smash hit &#39;The Sound of Silence&#39; in 1965, several artists have covered the song, giving their own interpretation and rendition over the ages. In fact, &#39;The Sound of Silence&#39; has been performed in different covers at least 60 times in the last 50 years.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Josh Groban once again puts his incomparable talent on display when he recreates the swirling emotion of ‘Bring Him Home’ from Les Miserables. Not a dry eye!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Josh Groban is, without a doubt, one of the best musical talents of our time. While he doesn’t top the Billboard charts, his voice more than makes up for his lack of mainstream content. His original albums are amazing, but his heartfelt covers always move us to tears.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Willie Nelson and Diana Krall cover ‘I Won’t Dance’, a Frank Sinatra classic that makes for a charming jazz duet. Their voices blend together so well in this cover!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“I Won’t Dance’ was written in 1934 to accompany a musical, but it’s since been recorded and re-recorded multiple times. Sometimes, a pair of artists team up to make this a duet.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Despite the great sound that comes from a banjo, it often gets a bad rap.

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;God Only Knows – Dolly Parton Worshipping Our Creator, for King and Country&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When the going gets tough.... Well get going probably does not help much these days, with a cold world, showing no interest in the fallen and those who need someone to reach out to them. Two brothers, who understand this well and have a solution to this brokenness, are the Australian born Joel and Luke Smallbone. The two started out with humble beginnings as singer-songwriters under the name “Joel &amp; Luke&#34; in 2008. After being signed up by the Warner Music Group, they renamed themselves to “For King &amp; Country&#34;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Enjoy the Andrea Bocelli Version of the Evergreen ‘White Christmas’&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The song ‘White Christmas’ as performed by Bing Crosby in 1942, was voted the second most popular song of the 20th century. This beautiful Christmas song was only toped by Judy Garland’s ‘Over The Rainbow.’ In 2009, 67 years after the Crosby original, in the 21st century, this song still rang out Christmas cheer, when the world-renowned tenor, Italian opera singer, songwriter, and record producer, Andrea Bocelli included the song in his first holiday album, called ‘My Christmas.’&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lauren Daigle’s Record-Breaking “Look Up Child” Is Fast Becoming a Shining Light for a Darkening Word&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is a new singing sensation in the Christian music industry. In a very short period of time, she has already proven herself to be the most influential Christian Singer over the past few decades. Breaking records as she goes along, Lauren Daigle’s hit album “Look Up Child”, is busy breaking down walls between the Christian and secular music industries. With its 39 week run, the album has first broken the record for the longest top-performing Christian album by a woman on the Billboard 200 since LeAnn Rimes “You Light Up My Life” in 1997. Then it broke the record for holding the number one spot the longest since the Billboards change over to a weekly survey in 1995.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Even if you make a small mistake, people don’t miss the chance to berate you. They make jokes at your expense and sometimes it’s really too much to handle, isn’t it? But with time, we start getting used to it. And this song by Dolly Parton helps a lot.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

It was the most successful of Ray Charles’ eight hits on the country chart. The single spent one week at number one and a total of twelve weeks on the country chart.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

One of them is called Katarina Delcamp, while the other is named Dakota Delcamp. Together, they perform a mind-blowing routine to The Nutcracker on the rink. They might look adorable and small, but their act is crazy. Watching them glide so beautifully on the ice makes you wonder if they have been skating right from birth. This was filmed during a Christmas ice skating in December 2008. They are 12 years old now. Dakota plays hockey, and Katarina qualified to represent the Southwest at the Midwestern Sectional Championships as a juvenile level figure skater last year.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A 3-year-old child performs confidently on stage with an orchestra, playing drums and impressing the audience in a formal concert hall setting.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This little guy in the video is just 3 years old, but he is already a talented musician. At his age, I would have been mortified to get up on stage and performed with all those big adults, but this guy is a natural. And he is seriously very good for his age. I mean c’mon, how can a 3 year old do something this big??&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Often referred to as&#34;The Fourth Tenor,&#34; Andrea Bocelli has proved himself as a lasting international performer in both classical and pop music.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For those of you who are curious about the &#34;fourth tenor&#34; reference, there was a popular operatic singing group during the 1990s and early 2000s, consisting of Spaniards Plácido Domingo and José Carreras and the Italian Luciano Pavarotti -- all famed performers. Thus Andrea Bocelli is considered to be &#34;The Fourth Tenor.&#34; His talent easily matches those of his grand predecessors.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Overcoming obstacles is always a way of achieving an inspiring story. But it is even more significant when the situation involves a child who is supported by this mother.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Craig Harrison suffered from stuttering from a young age, but the problem deepened when Craig’s father abandoned the family when Craig was just six years old. Mother and son were left to face the world by themselves.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Putting up Christmas lights is an essential part of the Christmas tradition. First, you locate the boxes in the attic and then find all of the connectors to make everything work. Out comes the ladder and you are off, putting up the one or two rows of light.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&#34;Back to his roots.&#34; That is what Andrea Bocelli decided to accomplish after a 14-year hiatus away from producing albums. And this new one, “Si” is wildly successful.&#39;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Somehow I think this is one of the most emotional songs this year. The melody, the lyrics, those voices...and such a beautiful, emotional song.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

She decided to write this chuckle of a song to all of her fellow seniors out there. The name of her lighthearted Patsy Cline parody? It could only be called, &#39;We Fall To Pieces.&#39; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this heartwarming video, Vera gives a witty performance of the song in front of a live audience. With each line she sings, her words send her audience, and those watching the video from home, into a fit of laughter.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

That&#39;s why I love the &#34;Got Talent&#34; franchise because it&#39;s everywhere and thankfully for this girl, that includes good old Britain.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Music conjures up memories that we have hidden somewhere in the recesses of our minds. It can bring back memories of first loves, places we once visited, people we haven&#39;t seen in years, even sadness, like the loss of a close friend or loved one. Music can heal a broken heart or soothe a tormented soul. It can make us laugh and cry, it can bring us happiness and joy, and it can make us sad with a melody so mournful that you will have tears rolling down your cheeks.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The post discusses the a-cappella version of Queen&amp;#x27;s &amp;#x27;We Are The Champions&amp;#x27;, highlighting Freddie Mercury&amp;#x27;s powerful vocals and the song&amp;#x27;s enduring popularity.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The year is 1977, and a British rock band named “Queen” released a song that would become an anthem for millions of people all over the world. The song was called “We Are The Champions” and would become a hit in all four corners of the globe. Interestingly, the song never made it to number 1 but that didn’t seem to matter, as even today, some 40-years-later, it is still recognized as a timeless classic. The song was written by Queens lead singer Freddie Mercury and featured on the album “News of the World”. At its peak it reached number 2 on the “UK Singles Chart” and number 4 on the “Billboard Hot 100”. The song was inducted into the “Grammy Hall of Fame” in 2009, and was voted the world’s favorite song in the 2005 “Sony Ericson” world music poll.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Ask my wife, she hates it when I go shopping with her. Like most men, I don’t quite understand the whole, lets-go-to-a-shop and spend hours browsing thin, me….I go to the shop knowing full-well what I need, grab it, pay for it, then get the hell out of there. None of this unnecessary hanging around looking at things I know I will never need. Shopping centers are designed to keep you there. They have all sorts of things to do whilst you are shopping. In most malls today you will find food halls where for a price you can enjoy a relaxing lunch while resting from the rigors of a strenuous shopping regime.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;An older male pianist plays an upright piano in a public setting at Disneyland, performing with another player who dances around each other&amp;#x27;s fingers.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Street piano players have been filling the screens of many YouTube viewers ever since the craze started. The trend started in train stations as a way for commuters to relieve stress. Train station authorities figured that the more they got people to play these pianos, the better it would be for everyone. Initially, people who were just curious about the whole experiment were the ones that approached the pianos.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I never miss any of the Irish festivals when St. Patrick’s Day comes and even though the dance is pretty much the same, each group has their own way of doing it. Many people say that if you really want to experience an Irish dance routine, you should go to where it all started, Ireland.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Covering everything from Little Town of Bethlehem to Band-Aid and Fairy Tale in New York, we&#39;re treated to new versions to great songs each holiday. And truth be told, they can really be hit or miss. We think this one by acapella group Pentatonix, featuring the more than capable lungs of Grammy and Oscar-winning singer Jennifer Hudson – is a definite hit.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

In my case, I don’t have that many friends. But I do have about 7 good friends from middle school that I talk to on a weekly basis.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

My friend had been dancing since she was 6 years old. She went to dance lessons three times a week. She asked me to go with her and try it out.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A 9-year-old boy performs Michael Jackson&amp;#x27;s &amp;#x27;Billie Jean&amp;#x27; on stage, impressing the audience with his flawless moonwalk and dance moves.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Talent shows give schoolkids an opportunity to get creative and indeed, they sometimes come up with brilliant skits or put on displays or musical virtuosity. If neither of those is in the cards, dance makes for a good fallback option: just turn on the music and bust out the moves. Often it&#39;s something fairly easy, maybe the Spice Girls or Britney Spears. We are talking school children, not professional dancers, after all. But in this case, a 9 year-old boy took on a far more difficult dance challenge: Michael Jackson&#39;s &#34;Billie Jean.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Sometimes we start picturing this in our minds since our children are still babies. To have the chance to watch them grow up and turn into great men and women is what we most desire. Not many parents get that privilege. So, if you did, then you are very blessed.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

You’re using just about every part of your body to control and co-ordinate extraordinarily tricky routines, all the while skating on a sheet of frozen water. Doing the tango is hard enough – but putting it on ice is just asking for trouble.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Music conjures up memories that we had hidden somewhere in the recesses of our minds. It can bring back memories of first loves, places we once visited, people we haven’t seen in years, even sadness, like the loss of a close friend or loved one. Music can heal a broken heart, or sooth a tormented soul. It can make us laugh and cry, it can bring us happiness and joy and it can make us sad with a melody so mournful that you will have tears rolling down your cheeks.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Children have a way of becoming obsessed with the song, but there are plenty of adults who like it to, as evidenced by the countless covers that have been made. Parody is a back-handed sort of tribute and there have been plenty of parodies made of &#34;Let It Go.&#34; Not even a TV traffic reporter could resist!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

It all started as a social experiment. The idea was for people to find a way to release stress, both out of playing and listening. It would be very similar to the way you see them at department stores. Staff would plug a keyboard or a piano, and whoever wanted to sit down and play, could.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I mean, I would listen to a couple of auditions each time that would appear to me as being okay for the next round, but the judges would say ‘no’.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A marching band of young adult males performs a precise choreographed routine in an auditorium, dressed in red and white uniforms with black hats adorned with plumes.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have seen some very wild videos before, but this one, I don’t even know how to start explaining it. I’ll start by saying that it’s a choreography. What do you think of when you hear this word? In my case, I think of theater. The theater has plays and all of them are choreographed, right? But really, any type of performance that has been arranged in a certain way is a choreography.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I have seen plenty of them throughout the years. Back when YouTube started, people saw it as a platform for them to upload funny birthday videos. People started using it heavily, and soon enough, there was a wealth of information available and not only entertainment.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

For the father of the bride, it signifies giving her daughter away, his little girl, to the groom. Age doesn’t matter here, she will always be his little girl. One of the many traditions for fathers and daughters in weddings is the father-daughter dance.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nicole Scherzinger, former Pussycat Doll, performs the title track of Phantom of the Opera on stage, impressing audiences with her powerful vocal performance.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pop stars get a bad rep these days. With many of them using auto-tune to tighten up their vocals on songs written by other people, or being caught lip-syncing during a supposed &#34;live&#34; performance it can often leave fans angry and upset. So, when former Pussycat Doll, actress and television personality Nicole Scherzinger decided to sing the title track to Phantom of the Opera live on stage, the audience held its collective breath.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

King, bringing the song to life with her beautiful voice at an indoor event.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are very few songs that no matter how many times we have listened to, still bring that fresh aura of having listened to them for the first time. They are songs so powerful not only for their beat but because their lyrics touch our lives in many ways. These songs are as great today as the day they were played for the first time. The song “Stand by me,” was originally sung by Ben E. King. Back when the song was released, it was able to cross several boundaries that were very strong at the time, like race and color. Those were tough times for many people. The color of your skin would decide the type of treatment you would receive and the type of food you were eligible for.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

It used to express gratitude, joy, and zest for life. I’ve seen some very good dancers over the years. One example is a man who competed in America’s Got Talent. He was actually very tall and looked like a football player.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I love attending them more than participating in them. The reason is simple, I simply don’t feel that I’m good enough to at least make a dent in the competition. For most of us, we are a mixture of many things, talent-wise that is.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

The Decca record company released it as a single and it was especially popular with American soldiers serving overseas. Garland&#39;s performance of the song at the Hollywood Canteen literally brought the tough soldiers in the audience to tears! Frank Sinatra made his own memorable recording of the song in 1957 and many other artists have followed suit: Bing Crosby, Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald, James Taylor, and Luther Vandross, to name a few.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

The sounds and smells of the season fill the air and bring hope to everyone around. What’s your favorite family tradition? Is it putting up the decorations? For me, it still is. Taking out all those boxes that spend a year waiting to be opened and put up, is something I really look forward to each year. Even seeing which of the lights still work is kind of a rewarding experience on its own.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

It&#39;s a piece of music that does well in expert hands and numerous recording artists have sung it, everyone from early 20th century opera star Enrico Caruso to Whitney Houston and Patti LaBelle.

In the age of the internet, anyone can post their own videos, but back in the day, you had to earn the privilege. Johnny Cash certainly did, as we&#39;ll see in a number from his Christmas special that aired on CBS in 1978.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

This may be solid poker advice, but it&#39;s really a shame that the Kenny Rogers so many of today&#39;s kids know is just a caricature of his old self.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Of course, it&#39;s easy to lose sight of that, what with all the frenzied shopping and general commercialization of everything. Sometimes a family will come up with a new tradition. That&#39;s what this family did: every Christmas when they get together, they record a dance video with Christmas music. They don&#39;t just dance about randomly, instead they put a lot of work into choreography and rehearsal. Since there are eight siblings involved, it&#39;s quite the dance troupe!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Or perhaps we should say histories, plural: it isn&#39;t clear exactly who wrote it, where, and when. It&#39;s clear that it was sometime between the mid-1600s and mid-1700s.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dancer Tylar Olsen performs a tribute to police officers in an indoor gymnasium, with a radio playing Paul Harvey&amp;#x27;s essay &amp;#x27;Policeman.&amp;#x27; The dance concludes with an emotional final move.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If anyone has a tough job, it&#39;s police officers. Some of their work involves sheer boredom, whether it&#39;s getting through that pile of paperwork that never quite goes away or long and uneventful hours on a stakeout. At other times, the job has moments of extreme danger where life and death decisions have to be made in a split-second.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

The reason is simple: it is extremely difficult. The fact of the matter is not many people can do it. A 37-year-old Spaniard by the name of Cristina Ramos blew the audience and judges away in “Spain’s Got Talent.” The judges were not ready for this level of performance and are visibly in awe. The performance included a glitch that would turn into something very special.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Another iconic actor also appears in this film, the legendary John Wayne.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He&#39;s best known for the westerns he starred in, although he made movies in a number of genres. In fact, his first screen appearance was as an extra in a 1926 romantic movie set in 17th century France! After starring in some B-movies, Wayne had his big breakthrough in 1939 with the enormously successful John Ford movie &#34;Stagecoach.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

With music in particular, there are so many genres that make it easy to discover new things all the time. Each era even has its own unique style and sound. Some of these styles have aged quite well. Barbershop quartets, for example, date back to the late 1800s in the United States, and people still love this type of performance and the music style to this day.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A young man named David Thibault performs a rendition of &amp;#x27;Blue Christmas&amp;#x27; on the Ellen Show, impressively channeling Elvis Presley&amp;#x27;s voice.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Elvis Presley hardly needs any introduction, so we&#39;ll keep it brief. The King of Rock &#39;n&#39; Roll was born in Tupelo, Mississippi in 1935 and moved to Memphis, Tennessee with his family when he was a teenager. Although he never learned to read music, Elvis was crazy about it from a young age. His mind vacuumed up country, gospel and rhythm-and-blues. It all came together in the mid-1950s and the young Elvis&#39; career took off. Before long, he was on national television. Quaint as it sounds today, he stirred controversy with the gyrations he did well singing, earning him the nickname &#34;Elvis the pelvis.&#34; He went on to record hugely successful albums and also made a number of movies. Sadly, he only lived to be 42, claimed by a heart attack related to prescription medicine abuse.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

One which was delivered in perfect symphony that soothed the audience’s ears and was a masterpiece in all aspects- even to the rookie who only just started listening to such music.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Even the plainest or most distraught appearances can contain incredible stories and unexpectedly powerful things. People are similar to books in that way. Everyone has a tale to share, but you can&#39;t appreciate what people hold inside if you&#39;re judgmental upon first seeing them. The most beautiful humans can be the most shallow and empty, and some of the most amazing people are the ones who don&#39;t look conventional on the outside.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The song &amp;#x27;Arlington&amp;#x27; by Trace Adkins tells the story of a soldier killed in action and buried at Arlington National Cemetery, honoring fallen US Marines.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is the music video of a song by country singer Trace Adkins called “Arlington”. “We made it to Arlington” is the last line of the chorus. Would that make it a sad song or an exhilarating tune?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

They proceed to tear up the gymnasium floor dancing to Rhonda McDaniel’s “Me and Bobby McGee”. Wait a second! There is another woman dressed the same as Charlotte and she is walking towards the dancing couple.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

The dress is also stunningly beautiful, by the way...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The hallmark of Irish step dancing is the maintenance of a stiff upper body while the feet move quickly, even intensely, and with great precision. According to one old story, dancers used to take doors off their hinges and use them as improvised dance floors.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>This Grandma Is Caught Unaware in the Middle of Her Act, and the Internet Goes Crazy for Her Dance Moves</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;An elderly woman surprises her family at a Waffle House by breaking into an impromptu dance in the parking lot, leading to viral attention.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#39;ve heard about two things that happen to people&#39;s personalities when they get older. The first is that they begin to blend in and take on new personality traits, so the introverted become a little more extroverted, and the extroverted become a little more introverted. The second thing that can happen with personalities when we age is that whatever we were like before only amplifies and gets more intense.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>He Took Her Onto the Dance Floor. Now See Her Shock Everyone With Her Moves</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A dance performance showcases the energetic forro style, performed by a male and female dancer in an indoor venue with an audience.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I would like to think that I can dance. So when I hear a tune come on that I like, I’m not shy about it at all.  Every now and again though, I’m all too aware that people are looking at me as if I’m having a seizure on the dance floor.  Fine, maybe I’m a good candidate for some professional training in the art of dancing, but what style should I choose to study?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Charlie and Jackie are a talented dance couple who perform at a ballroom event in Atlanta, Georgia, impressing the audience with their intricate footwork.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dance floors scare me.  I am not one of those people that were born with any natural ability to shake it down, especially in front of others.  Unfortunately I’m not the type that benefits from training and practice either.  I can’t really dance if my life depended upon it, but for some reason I keep on trying.  When I do try it’s usually an entertaining spectacle for others who are pointing and laughing.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Either performer on their own could blow an audience away, but together?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Steppenwolf performs their iconic song &amp;#x27;Born to Be Wild&amp;#x27; in a studio setting, showcasing the band&amp;#x27;s rebellious spirit and John Kay&amp;#x27;s enduring presence.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You may not know the song exactly, but you’ve probably heard the refrain at some point: “BORNNNNNNNNN TO BEEE WILLLLLLLLLLLLLD!” It’s Steppenwolf and it’s the anthem for many a counterculture group, like motorcycle gangs. These are people who beat to their own drums and this song fits them perfectly. This short clip of the group performing the song shows that rebelliousness right up close.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dolly Parton performs her hit song &amp;#x27;I Will Always Love You&amp;#x27; in a 1974 recording, showcasing her powerful voice and emotional range.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are some songs out there that people have no idea are covers. Take Whitney Houston&#39;s fantastic rendition of &#34;I Will Always Love You.&#34; People think that she wrote it for the movie that the song was in the soundtrack for: &#34;The Bodyguard.&#34; Not true. Dolly Parton wrote this nearly two decades before that movie even hit the theaters.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

He was a titanic musical force in his prime, and I don&#39;t think it&#39;s hyperbole to say that he helped change the direction of music today. Had he not existed, I think we might still be listening to a lot more staid music. The 1960s may not have been as outlandish as they were. This video shows why he made such a lasting impression.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

There was laid-back, and there was Martin. For much of his life, he seemed to laugh at anything that came his way. He had an incredible wit and charm that few could hope to ever match. This video that shows him singing the song that most people remember him by, “Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime”.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

It was during seventh and eighth grade music class and our teacher would have us sing some songs like “The Theme To M.A.S.H.” and “The Rainbow Connection”. Another was “Top of The World”, and I’ll never forget the part about “Not a cloud in the sky/got the sun in my eyes/and I won’t be surprised if it’s a dream.”&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Joel, a young man in overalls and a cowboy hat, performs banjo at his high school talent show, winning first place with &amp;#x27;Cripple Creek&amp;#x27; and &amp;#x27;Foggy Mountain Breakdown&amp;#x27;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Banjo Player Wins First Place In High School Talent Show With Unique Twist&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the staples of particular types of country music is the banjo. Once it starts playing, it’s hard to not want to stomp your foot up and down to the beat. A skilled player can use it almost like a drum to guide the rhythm. There are some groups out there that still have prominent banjo players. While the kid that we see in this video is far from a professional, he holds his own quite well.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

That’s a shame, because he was an amazing talent who was one of the world’s most famous singers… actually, scratch that… he was THE world’s most famous singers in the 1980s and 1990s. A lot of people forget that because of his changing appearances and legal issues. Here’s a refresher… and we’re going to go WAY back for this one.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

There was a time, though, when he was arguably the most famous person on Earth. All you had to do was say, “Elvis,” and probably even a hermit living on top of a mountain would know who he was.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Beatles perform &amp;#x27;I Wanna Hold Your Hand&amp;#x27; on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, marking one of their first American TV appearances.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It was a momentous time in rock and roll history. The British invaded America… in the form of music, not trying to reclaim their former country like in the 1770s. At the forefront were four shaggy-haired men named George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr. They were The Beatles. We see them on one of their first American TV show appearances, playing “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” This was on Feb. 9, 1964.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Share it! I admit it, there are a lot of singers out there that I haven’t heard of, not being from a particular era. It’s nice to hear some music from those times, though, since I can gain an appreciation of what people liked. There’s a lot of good music from the past. I’m sure that a lot of people will look at the name here and want to smack me for not knowing who he is. Don’t worry, he has a new fan in me.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Four Seasons perform their hit song &amp;#x27;December 1963 (Oh, What A Night)&amp;#x27; with Frankie Valli and Don Ciccone showcasing their vocal talents.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There was a time when the Four Seasons were tremendously popular. They were THE band before some fellows from Liverpool name George, John, Paul, and Ringo came onto the scene. Then they had their thunder stolen just a wee bit. They had quite a run, though, and they wound up in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. This video of them singing “December 1963 (Oh, What A Night” will show you why they were so popular.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

The &#34;senioritis&#34; tends to hit hardest during the second half of the school year when they are all but assured of going to college. This group of kids isn&#39;t wasting their time when classes aren&#39;t in. No - they come up with a fantastic skit for the Christmas show.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Only a few of them will recall that he was also a fantastic musician, especially on the drums, where he could more than hold his own with masters like Buddy Rich – honestly, look up the Rich/Martin drum battle on YouTube.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

It&amp;rsquo;s just as good &lt;span style=text-decoration:underline&gt;now&lt;/span&gt; as it was back then. Somethings get better with age. Rock and roll are one of them.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This 1980s music video features Mick Jagger and David Bowie dancing in place, with the audio removed to show their voices. The video evokes nostalgia and laughter.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;People of a certain age remember when this video first came out. We see Mick Jagger running in place; the beat picks up, and then David Bowie comes in from a loft on the side, dancing in place too before jumping down to join Jagger. If you thought I was talking about “Dancing In the Streets,” give yourself a cookie. Though here’s a version of the video that you probably haven’t seen before.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Beatles held their first press conference in the United States on February 7, 1964, where they answered questions with comedic timing and humor.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Feb. 7, 1964, was a truly momentous day in the annals of U.S. pop culture… and to an extent, history. The Beatles came to America, and nothing has been the same since. Their plane touched down at JFK Airport and the noise from the screaming fans there was probably as loud as any of the departing or arriving airplanes. They went to a press conference and went on to conduct one of the more memorable interviews ever.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Elvis Presley and Martina McBride perform a stunning duet of &amp;#x27;Blue Christmas,&amp;#x27; with Martina&amp;#x27;s image digitally added to Elvis&amp;#x27; footage from his 1968 Christmas special.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Blue Christmas is a popular Christmas song that has been recorded by Patti LaBelle, Tammy Wynette, Jon Bon Jovi, and others, but none is as great as Elvis Presley’s version. Elvis sang this song live in a famous show in 1968; with his black leather suit, the King of Rock and Roll was in his prime. The fans in the audience were all fawning over the king, crying and swooning. However, they all look a bit old school.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Christopher Duffley, a blind and autistic boy born in 2001, performs &amp;#x27;Lean on Me&amp;#x27; with the World Outreach Church Kid&amp;#x27;s Choir. Despite his challenges, he shows remarkable talent.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Christopher Duffley’s life has been sort of a roller coaster ride, but he has definitely come out on top. When he was born, doctors realized that he had cocaine in his system because his mother used drugs while she was pregnant with him. He was given up for adoption by his drug addicted mother right after his birth in 2001. He was blind at birth and was later diagnosed with autism, and doctors believe it was due to his mother’s drug use. Thankfully, his aunt stepped in, and despite having four children of her own, she decided to take care of her brother’s son as well.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

It is played on the radio and in many public places throughout the holidays. This beautiful rendition by Home Free Vocal Band is simply amazing.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In a public space at Paris train station, Gerard Pla Daró from Spain and Nassim Zaouche from Algeria spontaneously play piano together, performing covers of songs by Ludovico Einaudi.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Music can amaze us, even in the most unexpected moments. On the video we brought to you today, you can see a piano that was set up in public; at a train station, in Paris. The train company put it there themselves, for the sake of the travelers that pass by every day. The company’s name is SNCF. They hoped that people would use it from time to time, whenever they had the time to spend, but they didn’t expect it to be such a wild success. Spontaneous musicians are way more common that you would think!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
