But Sinatra returned two years later, to much ballyhoo and chart success, with the album “Ol’ Blue Eyes is Back.” Bowie was paying attention. “David was a big Sinatra fan,” his former manager, Tony DeFries, recently told Mojo magazine. Bowie’s retirement was a ruse, DeFries added, to generate publicity and whip up demand for a headlining tour of big venues in the United States. It worked; in 1974, Bowie played arenas across the country, including two shows at Madison Square Garden. After Bowie retired in 1973, then unretired in 1974, he retired a second time in 1975.

☆ Dolly Parton (Really) Rocks

solo studio releases to her name, Dolly Parton just scored the highest charting album of her career, the mammoth double LP “Rockstar,” which debuted on this week’s Billboard 200 at No. “Rockstar” is not an album so much as a referendum on how incredibly well-liked Parton is at this moment. “This has, however, inspired me to put out a hopefully great rock ’n’ roll album at some point in the future,” she wrote in a statement. I disagree with the notion that Dolly Parton wasn’t a rock star until she released an album called “Rockstar” — it feels like too narrow and literal an understanding of genre. And, as I argue with today’s playlist, she’s been reshaping rock ’n’ roll in her own style for her entire career.

1 on Billboard’s album chart this week thanks to an expanded edition, while Dolly Parton notches her highest chart position ever. Six weeks ago, “For All the Dogs” opened at the top with big streaming numbers, and it has held in the Top 5 since. Last week, Drake released a new version of it — the “Scary Hours Edition” — with six new songs, which has sent the album back to No. Incredibly, “Rockstar” becomes Parton’s highest-charting album, and only the third in her storied career to reach the Top 10 of the all-genre Billboard 200 chart. Among Parton’s solo albums, and LPs with her onetime singing partner Porter Wagoner, she has had numerous titles in the Top 10 of Billboard’s country chart, including eight No.

LONDON, Feb 1 (Reuters) - British rocker Ozzy Osbourne said he was "not physically capable" of going on a European and UK tour this spring, as he was too weak for all the necessary travel involved in live shows. The 74-year-old has undergone years of treatment after a 2019 fall damaged his spine and exacerbated injuries from a 2003 quad bike accident. However, after three operations, stem cell treatments, endless physical therapy sessions, and most recently groundbreaking Cybernics (HAL) Treatment, my body is still physically weak," Osbourne said, referring to a treatment involving a mechanical exoskeleton. "Never would I have imagined that my touring days would have ended this way," Osbourne said. "My team is currently coming up with ideas for where I will be able to perform without having to travel from city to city and country to country."

Duran Duran stumbled but stayed sophisticated. The four acts found very different ways to celebrate on Saturday night, but all can now forever say they’re Rock & Roll Hall of Famers. “Rock & Roll is not a color,” he said. “One, I know, is that I’m a rapper and this is the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.”He’s only the 10th hip-hop artist among well over 300 members of the Hall of Fame. “I‘ve been rockin’ rockin’ rockin’ rockin’ since the day I was born,” she sang, “and I’ll be rockin’ to the day I’m gone.”She closed the night leading an all-star jam of her fellow inductees on her country classic “Jolene.” Le Bon, Benatar and even Judas Priest singer Rob Halford took a verse.

13 aprilie, Ziua Internațională a Rock-and-Rollului. De unde își are originea acest stilPe 13 aprilie se sărbătoreşte Ziua Internaţională a Rock-and-Rollului. Primii artiști care au abordat stilul rock-and-roll au fost afro-americanii: Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis sau Johnny Cash. Inspirat de rock-and-rollul american, rockul britanic avea să revoluţioneze muzica, prin formaţii ca The Beatles, The Who, The Animals sau The Rolling Stones. Sunt divergențe de opinie referitor la care disc a fost primul disc rock-and-roll, dar Rock Around the Clock (1954) a lui Bill Haley a fost primul disc de acest gen care a ajuns pe locul unu în topul revistei americane Billboard.

Да, пандемия, конечно, внесла свои коррективы и в нашу работу над новым альбомом Gîndul Mîței. Твой коллега по группе Gîndul Mîței, гитарист Сергей Яровой (Ярик) записал недавно свой второй сольный альбом. В одном из интервью ты рассказывал историю о девушке, которую спасла от самоубийства песня группы Gîndul Mâței «Requiem». Я никоим образом не хочу обидеть другие виды искусства, но все-таки музыка – царица всех видов и направлений искусства. Понимаю, что многие сейчас набросятся на меня за эти слова, включая и нашего коллегу по группе Gîndul Mîței Митрича.
