  43. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Music and Movies go hand in hand and have been a natural combination ever since sound was first added to moving images. Whether the film is an action-packed thriller a tear-jerking drama or a side-splitting comedy, the right song at the right moment will always elevate the impact of a scene.</p>
  44. <p>Movies have produced some of the biggest hits of all time, and in some cases, these soundtrack songs are now more famous than the films they came from. Sometimes it&#8217;s a perfect thematic fit with the film&#8217;s narrative. Sometimes it just sounds good. These songs are forever ingrained in the history of both music and film as a result of their popularity and greatness. Here are 50 movie soundtrack anthems.</p>
  45. <p><strong>Whitney Houston &#8211; &#8216;I Will Always Love You&#8217; (The Bodyguard)</strong></p>
  46. <p>Written and originally recorded in 1973 by American singer-songwriter <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/artists/dolly-parton/">Dolly Parton</a>, <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/stairway-to-heaven/whitney-houston/">Whitney Houston</a>&#8216;s version peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for a then-record-breaking 14 weeks. When the 1974 recording of the song reached number one on the country charts, <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/stairway-to-heaven/elvis-presley/">Elvis Presley</a> indicated that he wanted to record the song. Parton was interested until Presley&#8217;s manager, told her that it was standard procedure for the songwriter to sign over half of the publishing rights to any song Elvis recorded. Parton refused. </p>
  47. <p><strong>BJ Thomas &#8211; &#8216;Raindrops Keep Fallin&#8217; on My Head&#8217; (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid)</strong></p>
  48. <p>This song was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Based loosely on fact, the film tells the story of Wild West outlaws Robert LeRoy Parker, known as Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman), and his partner Harry Longabaugh, the &#8220;Sundance Kid&#8221; (Robert Redford), who are on the run from a crack US posse after a string of train robberies. The single topped the US chart and won an Oscar for Best Original Song. Ray Stevens (The Streak) was first offered the opportunity to record it for the film but turned it down. <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/artists/bob-dylan/">Bob Dylan</a> is supposed to have been approached for the song, but he reportedly declined too.</p>
  49. <p><strong>Berlin &#8211; &#8216;Take My Breath Away&#8217; (Top Gun)</strong></p>
  50. <p>The main love theme from Tom Cruise&#8217;s Top Gun movie, &#8220;Take My Breath Away&#8221; was written by Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock and was performed by the American new wave band Berlin who formed in Los Angeles in 1978. The second single from the Top Gun soundtrack album, following Kenny Loggins&#8217; &#8220;Danger Zone&#8221;, won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song in 1986. Berlin disbanded right after reaching global success. The song was first offered to The Motels, who much later released their original demo.</p>
  51. <div class="TDIM-YT-container"><iframe class="TDIM-YT-video" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Bx51eegLTY8?si=_0eL2TokMarBt-mo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
  52. <p><strong>Joe Cocker &#038; Jennifer Warnes &#8211; &#8216;Up Where We Belong&#8217; (An Officer and a Gentleman)</strong></p>
  53. <p>Written by Jack Nitzsche, Buffy Sainte-Marie and Will Jennings and recorded by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes for the 1982 film. Cocker and Warnes were awarded the Grammy for Best Pop Performance and Nitzsche, Sainte-Marie, and Jennings won both the Academy Award and Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song.</p>
  54. <p><strong>Huey Lewis &#038; the News &#8211; &#8216;The Power of Love&#8217; (Back to the Future)</strong></p>
  55. <p>The ultimate feel-good &#8217;80s movie pop anthem, Huey Lewis was hired to come up with a couple of tunes for Back to the Future, the song became the band&#8217;s first number-one hit in the US. McFly (Michael J. Fox) and his band play a hard rock version of the song for a Battle of the Bands audition, at which a judge played by Huey Lewis tells Marty&#8217;s group that they are &#8220;just too darn loud.&#8221;</p>
  56. <p><strong>Kenny Loggins &#8211; &#8216;Footloose&#8217; (Footloose)</strong></p>
  57. <p>Co-written with Dean Pitchford and recorded by American singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins, it was released in January 1984 as the first of two singles by Loggins from the 1984 film of the same name. Kenny Loggins&#8217;s early soundtrack contributions date back to A Star Is Born in 1976 and he is known as the King of the Movie Soundtrack after he experienced a string of soundtrack successes. </p>
  58. <div class="TDIM-YT-container"><iframe class="TDIM-YT-video" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ltrMfT4Qz5Y?si=I_dsjMvHzm-4kNCx" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
  59. <p><strong>Bette Midler &#8211; &#8216;The Wind Beneath My Wings&#8217; (Beaches)</strong></p>
  60. <p>The song was first recorded by Australian singer Kamahl in 1982 for a country and western album. A heartbreaking ballad performed by Midler at the end of Beaches, in this instance singing about the importance of lifelong friendships. The song won Grammy Awards for both Record of the Year and Song of the Year. </p>
  61. <p><strong>John Travolta &#038; Olivia Newton-John &#8211; &#8216;You&#8217;re the One that I Want&#8217; (Grease)</strong></p>
  62. <p>Written and produced by John Farrar, and released in 1978 as the second single from Grease. As a songwriter and producer, Farrar worked with Olivia Newton-John from 1971 to 1989. He wrote her US number-one hit single: &#8220;Have You Never Been Mellow&#8221; (1975), &#8220;Hopelessly Devoted to You&#8221; (1978), and &#8220;Magic&#8221; (1980). The song is one of the best-selling singles in history to date, having sold over 4 million copies in the United States and the United Kingdom alone, with estimates of more than 15 million copies sold overall.</p>
  63. <p><strong>The Shoop Shoop Song (It&#8217;s in His Kiss) – Cher (Mermaids)</strong></p>
  64. <p>It took Cher over 25 years to score a Number 1 song by herself. Written and composed by Rudy Clark (Who also wrote &#8220;Got My Mind Set on You&#8221; a number 1 hit for <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/artists/george-harrison/">George Harrison</a>), the Shoop Shoop Song was first released as a single in 1963 by Merry Clayton. </p>
  65. <p><strong>Unchained Melody &#8211; The Righteous Brothers (Ghost)</strong></p>
  66. <p>This 1955 song with music by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret was first written as a theme for the prison film Unchained (1955) hence the song title. While not specially recorded for the movie it came from, &#8220;Unchained Melody&#8221; will forever be associated with Ghost. In the film the song appears both in instrumental and vocal form, the latter being the version recorded by Bobby Hatfield of The Righteous Brothers in 1965. </p>
  67. <p><strong>La Bamba &#8211; Los Lobos (La Bamba)</strong></p>
  68. <p>A cover of a classic Mexican folk song to promote a biopic of the late Richie Valens. The song is best known for a 1958 adaptation by Ritchie Valens, a Top 40 hit in the US charts. Los Lobos interestingly knocked another movie theme tune off the top to get to Number 1, <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/odds-and-sods/25-madonna-facts/">Madonna</a>&#8216;s Who’s That Girl, managing two weeks there in the summer 1987.</p>
  69. <p><strong>Night Fever – Bee Gees (Saturday Night Fever)</strong></p>
  70. <p>1978 was a big year for movies, especially ones starring John Travolta. Months before Grease&#8217;s chart takeover, the soundtrack to his other starring role in Saturday Night Fever was having a moment. The album spent a whopping 18 consecutive weeks at Number 1 from May 1978, and its centrepiece, the <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/quizzes/the-very-hard-bee-gees-quiz/">Bee Gees</a>&#8216; Night Fever, spent two weeks at the top. </p>
  71. <div class="TDIM-YT-container"><iframe class="TDIM-YT-video" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SkypZuY6ZvA?si=ew9HCo6dlj1NCvVn" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
  72. <p><strong>My Heart Will Go On &#8211; Celine Dion (Titanic)</strong></p>
  73. <p>The biggest film of 1998, became the highest-grossing film of all time. Featuring the mega-hit ‘My Heart Will Go On’ the only vocal track on the album, the Titanic soundtrack spent 16 weeks on the Billboard 200 and launched the career of <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/artists/celine-dion/">Celine Dion</a>. Composed by James Horner, with lyrics by Will Jennings it topped the charts in more than 25 countries and was the best-selling single of 1998. With worldwide sales estimated at more than 18 million, it is the second-best-selling single by a woman in music history and one of the <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/liner-notes/the-best-selling-singles-in-the-world/">Best-Selling</a> singles of all time.</p>
  74. <p><strong>(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life &#8211; Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes (Dirty Dancing)  </strong></p>
  75. <p>Dirty Dancing produced several hits upon its release in 1987, including Eric Carmen’s ‘Hungry Eyes,’ Patrick Swayze’s ‘She’s Like the Wind’ and ‘(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life’ by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes. The song has won several awards, including the Academy Award for Best Original Song, the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, and the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.</p>
  76. <p><strong>Wilson Phillips &#8211; &#8216;Hold On&#8217; (Bridesmaids)</strong></p>
  77. <p>In one of cinema&#8217;s most rousing endings, the 2011 comedy Bridesmaids gave a new lease of life to 1990&#8217;s biggest hit from American trio Wilson Phillips. In the film, the characters played by Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph fondly recall the song from their teenage years. Wilson Phillips then makes an appearance to sing the song at the wedding at the end of the film.</p>
  78. <p><strong>Michael Sembello &#8211; &#8216;Maniac&#8217; (Flashdance)</strong></p>
  79. <p>Originally intended as a horror movie song, the original idea for the song came to the song’s co-writer Dennis Matkosky while watching a news report on a serial killer. It was later reworked as a song to play while Jennifer Beals trained hard at home, it became a big &#8217;80s pop hit for Sembello. The soundtrack album of Flashdance has gone on to sell over six million copies in the US alone. In 1984, the album won the Grammy Award for Best Album of Original Score Written for a Motion Picture or a Television Special.</p>
  80. <p><strong>Sonny &#038; Cher &#8211; &#8216;I Got You Babe&#8217; (Groundhog Day)</strong></p>
  81. <p>Bill Murray may have grown to hate this song thanks to his character Phil constantly hearing it every time he woke up, but it&#8217;s now an iconic movie song because of his suffering. The American fantasy romantic comedy tells the story of a cynical television weatherman (Bill Murray), covering the annual Groundhog Day event in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, who becomes trapped in a time loop, forcing him to relive February 2 repeatedly.</p>
  82. <p><strong>Barbra Streisand &#8211; &#8216;The Way We Were&#8217; (The Way We Were)</strong></p>
  83. <p>This American romantic drama film directed by Sydney Pollack and starring Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford was nominated for several awards and won the Academy Awards for Best Original Dramatic Score and Best Original Song for the theme song ‘The Way We Were’. The song topped the US chart in February 1974, when it knocked <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/liner-notes/starr-of-the-beatles/">Ringo Starr</a>&#8216;s version of ‘You&#8217;re Sixteen’ from the top of the chart.</p>
  84. <p><strong>Billy Ocean &#8211; &#8216;When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going&#8217; (The Jewel of the Nile)</strong></p>
  85. <p>Billy Ocean was recruited by Hollywood to perform the main theme tune to the adventure flick The Jewel of the Nile starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. A music video was shot in London, and features Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito as lip-synching backing vocalists. The video was initially banned on <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/liner-notes/top-of-the-pops/">Top of the Pops</a> because the actors were not part of the Musicians&#8217; Union, meaning DeVito&#8217;s miming of the saxophone solo went against the rules.</p>
  86. <p><strong>Isaac Hayes &#8211; &#8216;Theme from Shaft (Shaft)</strong></p>
  87. <p>Future South Park star Isaac Hayes created one of Funk&#8217;s finest moments for the main theme for the 1971 drama. Hayes became the first African American to win the Best Original Song Oscar – or any Academy Award in a non-acting category. In 2000, Hayes told National Public Radio that he had only agreed to write and record the Shaft score after the film&#8217;s producer, Joel Freeman, promised him an audition for the lead role, which was taken by a then-unknown Richard Roundtree. Hayes, who also had no acting experience, never got the chance to audition but kept his end of the deal anyway.</p>
  88. <p><strong>Irene Cara &#8211; &#8216;Fame&#8217; (Fame)</strong></p>
  89. <p>Before Flashdance, Irene Cara (who played the role of Coco Hernandez in the original film), was hired to record the theme tune for the 1980 musical film Fame. Set in New York City, it chronicles the lives and hardships of students attending The High School of Performing Arts, from their auditions to their freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior years. It was Irene&#8217;s debut single, and it won the Oscar and Golden Globe for Best Original Song. The song was later used as the theme song for the Fame television series, which aired from 1982 to 1987.</p>
  90. <div class="TDIM-YT-container"><iframe class="TDIM-YT-video" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/H1gMQ_q3FSM?si=4udKdZTA7wvNrBbl" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
  91. <p><strong>Starship &#8211; &#8216;Nothing&#8217;s Gonna Stop Us Now&#8217; (Mannequin)</strong></p>
  92. <p>Pop-rock veterans Starship provided this &#8217;80s anthem as the main theme song to the romantic comedy Mannequin in 1987. Co-written by Diane Warren and Albert Hammond the power ballad duet featuring vocalists Grace Slick and Mickey Thomas reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 and became Warren&#8217;s first single to do so. Warren has written nine number-one songs and 33 top-10 songs on the Billboard Hot 100. </p>
  93. <p><strong>Coolio &#8211; &#8216;Gangsta&#8217;s Paradise&#8217; (Dangerous Minds)</strong></p>
  94. <p>The 1995 movie Dangerous Minds might not have had a lasting legacy, but its main theme from rapper Coolio and singer LV very much has. Sampling the <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/artists/stevie-wonder/">Stevie Wonder</a> song ‘Pastime Paradise’, the huge-selling single also featured an appearance from the film&#8217;s main star Michelle Pfieffer. The song was the number one biggest-selling single of 1995 on the US Billboard chart. </p>
  95. <p><strong>Ben E King &#8211; &#8216;Stand By Me&#8217; (Stand By Me)</strong></p>
  96. <p>The 1986 American coming-of-age drama film gave the Ben E King soul classic a new lease of life thanks to its use in the film. Originally released in 1961, King had written it for the Drifters, who passed on recording it. After a recording session in 1960, King had some studio time left over. The session&#8217;s producers, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller asked if he had any more songs. King played it on the piano for them. They liked it and called the studio musicians back in to record it. There have been over 400 recorded versions of the song, performed by many artists, notably <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/stairway-to-heaven/otis-redding/">Otis Redding</a> and <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/stairway-to-heaven/john-lennon/">John Lennon</a>. </p>
  97. <p><strong>Roxette &#8211; &#8216;It Must Have Been Love&#8217; (Pretty Woman)</strong></p>
  98. <p>Originally a Christmas song, (&#8220;It Must Have Been Love (Christmas for the Broken Hearted)&#8221;, the festive references were removed as Swedish pop duo Roxette recorded a new version for the Pretty Woman soundtrack. Its use in the film made the song a massive international hit. The song was a massive hit in Norway, where it spent twelve weeks at number one.</p>
  99. <p><strong>Ray Parker Jr &#8211; &#8216;Ghostbusters&#8217; (Ghostbusters)</strong></p>
  100. <p>Parker was approached by the film&#8217;s producers to create a theme song, although he only had a few days to do so and the film&#8217;s title seemed impossible to include in any lyrics. However, when watching television late at night, Parker saw a commercial for a local service that reminded him that the film had a similar commercial featured for the fictional business. This inspired him to write the song as a pseudo-advertising jingle. <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/classic-albums/fleetwood-mac-rumours/">Fleetwood Mac</a> guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, stated that he was approached to write the Ghostbusters theme but declined the opportunity as he did not want to be known as a soundtrack artist. </p>
  101. <p><strong>Steppenwolf &#8211; &#8216;Born to Be Wild&#8217; (Easy Rider)</strong></p>
  102. <p>Sometimes, &#8220;Born to Be Wild&#8221; is described as the first heavy metal song, and the second verse lyric &#8220;heavy metal thunder&#8221; marks the first use of this term in rock music. Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper play two bikers who travel through the American Southwest and South, carrying the proceeds from a cocaine deal. Easy Rider explores the societal landscape, issues, and tensions towards adolescents in the United States during the 1960s, such as the rise of the hippie movement, drug use, and communal lifestyle. Real drugs were used in scenes showing the use of marijuana and other substances</p>
  103. <div class="TDIM-YT-container"><iframe class="TDIM-YT-video" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/egMWlD3fLJ8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
  104. <p><strong>Stealers Wheel &#8211; &#8216;Stuck in the Middle with You&#8217; (Reservoir Dogs)</strong></p>
  105. <p>&#8220;Stuck in the Middle with You&#8221; was released on Stealers Wheel&#8217;s 1972 eponymous debut album. Written by Scottish musicians Gerry Rafferty and Joe Egan, Rafferty provided the lead vocals, with Egan singing harmony. The song is used in Quentin Tarantino&#8217;s 1992 debut film Reservoir Dogs, during the scene in which the character Mr. Blonde (played by Michael Madsen) taunts and tortures bound policeman Marvin Nash (Kirk Baltz) while singing and dancing to the song.</p>
  106. <p><strong>John Parr &#8211; &#8216;St Elmo&#8217;s Fire&#8217; (St Elmo&#8217;s Fire)</strong></p>
  107. <p>The 1985 American coming-of-age film was directed by Joel Schumacher and stars Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, Andie MacDowell and Mare Winningham. Parr was inspired to write the lyrics not by the movie (which he had not seen) but by the Canadian athlete Rick Hansen who, at the time, was travelling around the world via his wheelchair to raise awareness for spinal cord injuries. </p>
  108. <p><strong>Kenny Loggins &#8211; &#8216;Danger Zone&#8217; (Top Gun)</strong></p>
  109. <p>The soundtrack to the 1986 American action drama film Top Gun, was the the best-selling of 1986, and one of the best-selling of all time. The story was inspired by an article titled &#8220;Top Guns&#8221;, written by Ehud Yonay and published in California magazine three years earlier. The band Toto was originally intended to perform the track, but legal conflicts between the producers of Top Gun and the band&#8217;s lawyers prevented this. The film producers offered the song to Loggins. Reaching number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, &#8220;Danger Zone&#8221; was kept out of the number 1 spot by <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/classic-albums/genesis-the-lamb-lies-down-on-broadway/">Peter Gabriel</a>&#8216;s &#8220;Sledgehammer&#8221;. It became Loggins&#8217; second-highest chart hit, bested only by his 1984 number 1 hit &#8220;Footloose&#8221;. </p>
  110. <p><strong>John Travolta &#038; Olivia Newton-John &#8211; &#8216;Summer Nights&#8217; (Grease)</strong></p>
  111. <p>In the movie version of Grease, John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John played the lead roles of Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsson. Grease was certainly the word in 1978, when it ruled the charts with several massive hits from the soundtrack. This opening number between the pair and their pals is still a karaoke favourite nearly 50 years later. The song spent seven weeks at number 1. In the UK, and combined with an earlier nine-week run with &#8220;You&#8217;re the One That I Want,&#8221; the Travolta-Newton-John duet team spent 16 weeks at number 1 in 1978 in the UK.</p>

  113. <p><strong>Seal &#8211; &#8216;Kiss from a Rose&#8217; (Batman Forever)</strong></p>
  114. <p>Seal wrote &#8216;Kiss from a Rose&#8217; in 1987, several years before the release of his eponymous debut album from 1991 but felt embarrassed by it and threw the tape in the corner. The second single taken from the Batman Forever film soundtrack, it topped the US Billboard Hot 100. It also was nominated for the <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/liner-notes/i-want-my-mtv/">MTV</a> Movie Award for Best Song from a Movie in 1996. The soundtrack also gave <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/artists/u2/">U2</a> a major hit with &#8220;Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me&#8221;. </p>
  115. <p><strong>Tina Turner &#8211; &#8216;We Don&#8217;t Need Another Hero&#8217; (Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome)</strong></p>
  116. <p>Written by Graham Lyle and Terry Britten (who also wrote Turner’s hit &#8220;What&#8217;s Love Got to Do with It?&#8221;), this power ballad received a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Original Song and a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. As songwriters, Lyle and Britten received the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. The 1985 Australian post-apocalyptic action film stars Mel Gibson and Tina Turner in a story of a lone roving warrior who is exiled into the desert, and encounters an isolated child cargo cult, centred on a crashed Boeing 747 and its deceased captain.</p>
  117. <p><strong>Peter Cetera &#8211; &#8216;The Glory of Love&#8217; (The Karate Kid II)</strong></p>
  118. <p>The song was recorded by Cetera shortly after he left the band Chicago to pursue a solo career. Featured in the film The Karate Kid Part II (1986), it was Cetera&#8217;s first hit single after he left the band, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Cetera has said that he originally wrote and composed &#8220;Glory of Love&#8221; as the end title for the film Rocky IV (1985), but it was passed over by United Artists.</p>
  119. <p><strong>Pharrel Williams &#8211; &#8216;Happy&#8217; (Despicable Me 2)</strong></p>
  120. <p>From the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack, Pharrell became one of the few artists to land three separate stints at Number 1 with the same song and landed his third million-seller within a year. &#8220;Happy&#8221; was the biggest song of 2014, and sold over 1.94 million downloads to become the eighth <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/liner-notes/the-best-selling-singles-in-the-world/">biggest-selling singles</a> of all time in the UK.</p>

  122. <p><strong>Survivor &#8211; &#8216;The Eye of the Tiger&#8217; (Rocky III)</strong></p>
  123. <p>Sylvester Stallone, the director and star of Rocky III, enlisted Survivor to write the song after the band <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/quizzes/the-very-hard-queen-quiz/">Queen</a> denied him permission to use their song &#8220;Another One Bites the Dust&#8221;. &#8220;Eye of the Tiger&#8221; was written by the guitarist, Frankie Sullivan, and the keyboardist, Jim Peterik. They conceived a riff based on chord changes to mirror the timing of punches. They took the title from a line spoken by Rocky&#8217;s coach, Apollo Creed: &#8220;You had that eye of the tiger, man, the edge&#8230; You gotta get it back.&#8221; Stallone took the phrase from the 1969 film A Dream of Kings.</p>
  124. <p><strong>Christopher Cross &#8211; &#8216;Arthur&#8217;s Theme&#8217; (Arthur)</strong></p>
  125. <p>This was the main theme for the 1981 film Arthur starring Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli. It won the Oscar for Best Original Song in 1981 and was a number-one hit in the US. It was written in collaboration between Cross, pop legend Burt Bacharach, and Bacharach&#8217;s frequent writing partner and then-wife Carole Bayer Sager. The line in the chorus &#8220;When you get caught between the moon and New York City&#8221; was taken from an unreleased song written by Allen and Bayer Sager. Allen came up with the line while his plane was in a holding pattern during a night arrival at John F. Kennedy International Airport.</p>
  126. <p><strong>Patrick Swayze &#8211; &#8216;She&#8217;s Like the Wind&#8217; (Dirty Dancing)</strong></p>
  127. <p>Swayze and Stacy Widelitz co-wrote the song in 1984. It was originally intended for the soundtrack of Grandview, U.S.A. and was meant to be about Jamie Lee Curtis&#8217; character in the film. During the production of Dirty Dancing in 1987, Swayze played the demo for producer Linda Gottlieb and director Emile Ardolino. The song, like the film in which it was featured, was a success, reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on Adult Contemporary, and was a hit around the world. The soundtrack album was number one for 18 weeks.</p>
  128. <p><strong>Bob Seger &#8211; &#8216;Old Time Rock &#038; Roll&#8217; (Risky Business)</strong></p>
  129. <p>&#8216;Old Time Rock &#038; Roll&#8217; was recorded by Seger for his tenth studio album Stranger in Town. It was also released as a single in 1979. The song gained renewed popularity after being featured in the 1983 film Risky Business. Cruise&#8217;s character, Joel Goodsen, famously lip-syncs and dances in his underwear as this song plays after his parents leave him home alone. </p>
  130. <div class="TDIM-YT-container"><iframe class="TDIM-YT-video" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8elAi-7G0OE?si=dOGmnQRtJwl301gE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
  131. <p><strong>Gary Jules and Michael Andrews &#8211; &#8216;Mad World&#8217; (Donnie Darko)</strong></p>
  132. <p>In a film full of &#8217;80s classics, it was an inspired move to record a piano cover of Tears for Fears&#8217; song &#8216;Mad World&#8217; for the powerful finale in this film which stars Jake Gyllenhaal. Two years later, it was the UK&#8217;s surprise Christmas number one after a new single release, and it remains one of cinema&#8217;s most moving music moments.</p>
  133. <p><strong>John Parr &#8211; &#8216;St. Elmo&#8217;s Fire (Man in Motion)&#8217; (St. Elmo&#8217;s Fire)</strong></p>
  134. <p>The song hit No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart on 7 September 1985, remaining there for two weeks. It was the main theme for Joel Schumacher&#8217;s film, and the first single from the soundtrack. The song was created and edited within 24 hours. The record peaked at No. 6 in the United Kingdom, Parr&#8217;s home country, and became a No. 1 hit for him around the world, and provided many awards and a Grammy nomination. </p>
  135. <p><strong>All Saints &#8211; &#8216;Pure Shores&#8217; (The Beach)</strong></p>
  136. <p>Group member Shaznay Lewis and producer William Orbit wrote the song for a scene in the 2000 adventure drama film, The Beach, where co-stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Virginie Ledoyen swim underwater. &#8216;Pure Shores&#8217; was the second best-selling single of 2000 in the UK.  </p>
  137. <p><strong>Bryan Adams &#8211; &#8216;(Everything I Do) I Do It For You&#8217; (Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves)</strong></p>
  138. <p>Spending a record-breaking 16 straight weeks at the top of the UK charts and seven at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/artists/bryan-adams/">Bryan Adams</a>’ “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You” owed at least some of its ubiquity to its use in the summer 1991 blockbuster Robin Hood. The power ballad was the lead single for both the soundtrack album from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and Adams&#8217;s sixth studio album, Waking Up the Neighbours (1991). The song was written in London, UK at the studio Adams was working at in 1990, and he and Mutt Lange wrote it in 45 minutes. </p>
  139. <p><strong>Bruce Springsteen &#8211; &#8216;Streets of Philadelphia&#8217; (Philadelphia)</strong></p>
  140. <p>Written by <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/artists/bruce-springsteen/">Bruce Springsteen</a> for the 1993 film Philadelphia, starring Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington, this was the first Hollywood big-budget, big-star film to tackle the issue of AIDS in the US. The song received critical acclaim, including the Academy Award for Best Original Song and four Grammy Awards: Song of the Year, Best Rock Song, Best Rock Vocal Performance, Solo, and Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or Television.</p>
  141. <div class="TDIM-YT-container"><iframe class="TDIM-YT-video" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4z2DtNW79sQ?si=py5wrAwXTDLwuelr" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
  142. <p><strong>Harry Nilsson &#8211; &#8216;Everybody’s Talkin’ (Midnight Cowboy)</strong></p>
  143. <p>Written by American folk singer-songwriter Fred Neil the song became a hit for <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/artists/harry-nilsson/">Harry Nilsson</a> after it was used in the film Midnight Cowboy in 1969. The film which stars Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight won three awards: Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay. Midnight Cowboy is the only X-rated film to win Best Picture. It placed 36th on the American Film Institute&#8217;s list of the 100 greatest American films of all time.</p>
  144. <p><strong>Iggy Pop &#8211; &#8216;Lust for Life&#8217; (Trainspotting)</strong></p>
  145. <p>The 1977 song performed by American singer Iggy Pop and co-written by <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/artists/david-bowie/">David Bowie</a>, featured on the album of the same name and was composed (on a ukulele) during their decadent Berlin period. The rhythm was based on the Armed Forces Network call signal which Pop and Bowie picked up on while waiting for a broadcast of Starsky &#038; Hutch. &#8220;Lust for Life&#8221; gained renewed popularity in the late 1990s after being featured in the 1996 British film Trainspotting. </p>
  146. <p><strong>The Beach Boys &#8211; &#8216;Kokomo&#8217; (Cocktail)</strong></p>
  147. <p>Written by John Phillips, Scott McKenzie, Mike Love, and Terry Melcher, the song was released as a single in July 1988 and became the <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/classic-albums/the-beach-boys-pet-sounds/">Beach Boys</a>&#8216; first original top-20 single in 20 years and their first number-one hit in 22 years. The recording featured every current member of the group except <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/artists/brian-wilson/">Brian Wilson</a>, who did not attend the sessions. The film which stars Tom Cruise, Bryan Brown and Elisabeth Shue tells the story of a young New York City business student, who takes up bartending to make ends meet.</p>
  148. <p><strong>Queen &#8211; &#8216;Bohemian Rhapsody&#8217; (Wayne&#8217;s World)</strong></p>
  149. <p>In 1992, Mike Myers used <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/liner-notes/bohemian-rhapsody/">“Bohemian Rhapsody”</a> as the rambunctious centrepiece of the indelible opening scene of the film, Wayne’s World, which had been adapted from a Saturday Night Live sketch of the same name, and gave the song and the band behind it an unprecedented second life. Despite being bedbound, <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/stairway-to-heaven/freddie-mercury/">Freddie Mercury</a> was able to watch a preview of the scene before his death on 24th November 1991, and he loved it. </p>
  150. <p><strong>Randy Newman &#8211; &#8216;You&#8217;ve Got a Friend in Me&#8217; (Toy Story)</strong></p>
  151. <p>American singer-songwriter scored hits as a recording artist including &#8220;Short People&#8221; (1977), &#8220;I Love L.A.&#8221; (1983), while other artists have enjoyed success with cover versions of his &#8220;Mama Told Me Not to Come&#8221; (1966), &#8220;I Think It&#8217;s Going to Rain Today&#8221; (1968) and &#8220;You Can Leave Your Hat On&#8221; (1972). &#8216;You&#8217;ve Got a Friend in Me&#8217; was nominated for both the Academy Award for Best Original Song and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song. </p>
  152. <p><strong>Chuck Berry &#8211; &#8216;Johnny B Goode&#8217; (Back to the Future)</strong></p>
  153. <p>One of the most memorable moments from Back to the Future is when Marty McFly, played by Michael J Fox, is on stage at his parents&#8217; 1955 “Enchantment Under the Sea” dance playing <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/artists/chuck-berry/">“Johnny B. Goode”</a>. Marty’s singing voice was that of Mark Campbell, a member of the soul and R&#038;B band Jack Mack and the Heart Attack. Campbell wasn’t credited as the production crew wanted to fully make the illusion that Fox was singing, but music supervisor Bones Howe made sure Campbell got a small percentage of the soundtrack revenue as compensation.</p>
  154. <p>As for Michael J Fox learning guitar, that was done via 2 methods. Fist off, Michael was taught how to play the actual song by Paul Hanson, who is a famed guitar coach in Hollywood. Michael got so good he told Robert Zemeckis he could cut to his hands playing anytime time, as he was that confident in his abilities to play the song.</p>
  155. <p><strong>Judy Garland &#8211; &#8216;Somewhere Over the Rainbow&#8217; (The Wizard of Oz)</strong></p>
  156. <p>&#8220;Over the Rainbow&#8221;, also known as &#8220;Somewhere Over the Rainbow&#8221;, may just be the most iconic movie song of them all. The ballad by Harold Arlen with lyrics by Yip Harburg was written for the 1939 American musical fantasy film The Wizard of Oz, in which it was sung by actress Judy Garland in her starring role as Dorothy Gale. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and became Garland&#8217;s signature song. In 2018, it was named the &#8220;most influential film of all time&#8221; as the result of a study conducted by the University of Turin to measure the success and significance of 47,000 films from around the world using data from readers and audience polls, as well as internet sources. </p>

  279. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The worldwide concert industry generates about $8 billion each year in revenue with the top 25 single artist concerts alone grossing about $360 million. More people are going to concerts and ticket prices are also rising as a whole. For artists, touring is the way to make money. You get to travel and promote yourself as a brand and it is the best way to show yourself off to new fans that might not have heard of you otherwise.</p>
  280. <p>Now more than ever, major concert tours translate to mega bucks for superstar artists who otherwise earn only fractions per digital song download or stream. To help ensure arena and stadium sellouts, today&#8217;s stage sets and audio-visual razzle-dazzle must go bigger than ever, which means obscenely high productions costs that are passed on to ticket buyers. </p>
  281. <p>Here are the Top 10 Grossing Tours&#8230; ever. </p>
  282. <p><strong>Ed Sheeran: ÷ Tour 2017-19.<br />
  283. 255 shows. Total gross $775,046,937. Attendance 8,796,567. </strong></p>
  284. <p>The ÷ Tour (pronounced ‘Divide Tour’) in support of his third studio album kicked off on 16 March 2017, in Turin, Italy ending on 26 August 2019, in Ipswich, England. The one-man show set world records for the highest-grossing concert tour and the most tickets sold by a tour. It also became the most attended tour of all time with over 8.5 million having attended in 43 different countries. Several shows were postponed in April 2017 after <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/artists/ed-sheeran/">Sheeran</a> broke both arms and a rib after crashing his bicycle near his home in Suffolk. </p>
  285. <p><strong>U2: 360° Tour 2009–11<br />
  286. 110 shows. Total gross $736,421,584. Attendance 7,272,046</strong></p>
  287. <p>Sponsored by BlackBerry and in support of the group&#8217;s 2009 album No Line on the Horizon, the concerts featured <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/artists/u2/">U2</a> playing ‘in the round’ on a circular stage, allowing the audience to surround them on all sides. To accommodate the stage configuration, a large 170-ton, $40 million four-legged structure nicknamed ‘The Claw’ was built above the stage. The Claw was so enormous that it took two days to dismantle. It was reported that this tour cost $750,000 a day to run as three separate models of the biggest stage in rock history traveled around the world. The group of individuals involved in this tour clocked in at over 250, and that doesn’t include all of the staffers working for the vendors involved on the tour. U2 to gave €9m of tour profits to charity. </p>
  288. <p><strong>Guns N&#8217; Roses: Not in This Lifetime&#8230; Tour 2016-19<br />
  289. 159 shows. Total gross $563,300,000. Attendance 4,377,126</strong></p>
  290. <p>The tour&#8217;s name is a reference to a 2012 interview in which Axl Rose, when asked about when a potential reunion would happen, responded &#8220;not in this lifetime.&#8221; It brought together the classic <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/classic-albums/guns-n-roses-appetite-for-destruction/">Guns N&#8217; Roses</a> line-up with Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan, marking the first time since the Use Your Illusion Tour in 1993 that the three performed together. The set was designed by Phil Ealy. They built a 71-foot (22 m) wide main stage including band risers, LED staircases made with P9 LED video tiles, LED fascia and amp stacks, and a self-climber piano lift used for Rose&#8217;s performance of ‘November Rain.’</p>
  291. <p><strong>Coldplay: A Head Full of Dreams Tour 2016–17.<br />
  292. 114 shows. Total gross $523,033,675. Attendance 5,389,586</strong></p>
  293. <p>Launched to support their seventh studio album A Head Full of Dreams, the tour visited stadiums and arenas across five continents. A staple of the set list was a segment of the show known as the &#8220;Fan Dedication Song&#8221;, where a song was requested by fans through social media service Instagram, for <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/artists/coldplay/">Coldplay</a> to play on the night.  A live album, Live in Buenos Aires, covering the tour, which was recorded during the last show in La Plata, as well as a concert film, Live in São Paulo, filmed around the world was later released. </p>
  294. <div class="TDIM-YT-container"><iframe class="TDIM-YT-video" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6YypytpsftA"frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
  295. <p><strong>Roger Waters: The Wall Live 2010–13.<br />
  296. Total shows 219 Total gross $458,673,798. Attendance 4,129,863</strong></p>
  297. <p>The tour was the first time the <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/quizzes/pink-floyd-quiz/">Pink Floyd</a> album <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/liner-notes/pink-floyd-the-wall/">The Wall</a> has been performed in its entirety by the band or any of its former members since Waters performed the album live in Berlin 21 July 1990. The touring version of Pink Floyd&#8217;s The Wall was one of the most ambitious and complex rock shows ever staged. It is estimated that the tour cost £37 million ($60M) to stage. Waters, a pacifist, incorporated an increased emphasis on the show&#8217;s anti-war message, and he requested fans to send him pictures of loved ones who have died as a result of wars.</p>
  298. <p><strong>AC/DC: Black Ice World Tour 2008–10.</strong><br />
  299. 167 shows. Total gross $441,121,000. Attendance 4,846,965</p>
  300. <p>In support of their fifteenth studio album Black Ice this became the last tour with founding <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/quizzes/the-very-hard-ac-dc-quiz/">AC/DC</a> member and rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young, who left the band in September 2014 due to ill health (Young died on 18 November 2017) and was also the last tour with long-time drummer Phil Rudd who was charged in November 2014 for hiring a hitman to murder someone and possession of drugs. This was also the last full tour to feature long-time lead vocalist Brian Johnson as he left the band halfway during the Rock or Bust World Tour due to hearing problems.</p>
  301. <p><strong>The Rolling Stones: No Filter Tour 2017–19<br />
  302. 44 shows. Total gross $415.609.064. Attendance 2,290,871</strong></p>
  303. <p><a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/quizzes/the-very-hard-rolling-stones-quiz/">The Rolling Stones</a> first toured North America in 1964 playing 11 shows and opening the set with ‘Not Fade Away’. Over 50 years later in late March 2019, it was announced that Mick Jagger would be receiving surgery to replace a valve in his heart, forcing The Rolling Stones to postpone the 17-date North American leg of the tour. The procedure took place on 5 April 2019 in New York, with Jagger making a full recovery and returning to touring in the summer this time opening the shows with ‘Street Fighting Man’.</p>
  304. <div class="TDIM-YT-container"><iframe class="TDIM-YT-video" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GFcMFDgrY_U"frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
  305. <p><strong>Metallica: World Wired Tour 2016–2019<br />
  306. 139 shows.Total gross $414,450,000. Attendance 4,055,397</strong></p>
  307. <p>230 crew would construct the three giant metal scaffolding systems that made up the backdrop to the show, leapfrogging each other from city to city. As one stage was being played on, the next gig’s stage was being built, and the previous show&#8217;s was being trucked to the venue after that with seventy-five trucks carrying everything for the tour. Flamethrowers known to the crew as the “big guns” shot flames 65ft into the air from the very top of the scaffold towers. Stadiums didn’t have enough power to feed the <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/classic-albums/metallica-metallica/">Metallica</a> show, so they carried six generators with them – making enough power for 185 houses for a day.</p>
  308. <p><strong>Madonna: Sticky &#038; Sweet Tour 2008–09<br />
  309. 85 shows. Total gross $407,713,266. Attendance 3,545,899</strong></p>
  310. <p>Staged to promote <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/odds-and-sods/25-madonna-facts/">Madonna&#8217;s</a> eleventh studio album, Hard Candy, The Sticky &#038; Sweet Tour broke many records in terms of its ticket sales, commercial gross and audience attendance. During the second leg, two workers constructing her stage at Stade Vélodrome in Marseille were killed when the roof of the stage collapsed. The tour comprised of over 250 travelling workers, 69 guitars, 12 trampolines and 100 pairs of kneepads.</p>
  311. <p><strong>Pink: Beautiful Trauma World Tour 2018-19.<br />
  312. 156 shows. Total gross  $397,300.000/ Attendance 3,088,647</strong></p>
  313. <p>The Beautiful Trauma World Tour became the second highest-grossing tour of all time by a female solo artist. <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/artists/pink/">Pink</a> who would start the show with ‘Get the Party Started’ trained as a competitive gymnast between the ages 4 and 12 and would entertain the crowds with various highflying stage antics during the tour. The Beautiful Trauma World Tour played in North America, Europe, New Zealand and Australia where the singer played nine sold out nights at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. </p>

  351. <p><strong>About the author:</strong></p>
  352. <p>Born and raised in Rome, Italy, as a teenager Francesco Lucarelli fell in love with the beautiful music created by a handful of singer-songwriters living in Laurel Canyon. It was because of their songs and vocal harmonies that, in the early 80’s, he founded the infamous CSN&amp;Y fanzine “Wooden Nickel”, which reached fans all over the world. Later, after becoming part of the CSNY family, he contributed to the booklet of Crosby Stills &amp; Nash’s box-set and, in the early 10’s, he was one of the main contributors to the official CSN iPad app, both as a photographer and as an archivist. As a photographer, his work has been displayed on the booklet of CPR’s “Just Like Gravity”, on Stephen Stills’ box-set “Carry On” and on David Crosby’s book “Since Then: How I Survived Everything and Lived to Tell About it”. He is also one of the authors of the 3-book biography “Crosby Stills Nash and sometimes Young”.</p>
  353. <p>Among the many CSNY-related experiences, there’s at least a couple of memorable musical moments: in 1988, when he spent one week playing with Ralph Molina and Billy Talbot of Crazy Horse in Billy’s garage in California, and in 1993 when Graham Nash invited him to join CS&amp;N on stage in Roma for the encores of their concert. Over the years, Francesco performed live with Talbot both in California and in Italy for a number of acoustic dates. In 2010, he released the album “Find The Light”, mixed by Stephen Barncard and featuring guest-appearances by Graham Nash, Jeff Pevar, James Raymond and Kenny Passarelli. To support the record, Francesco founded a band and, in the Summer of 2022, their eponymous record “Rawstars” was finally released. Among the guests, Mike Finnigan, Greg Leisz, Jeff Young, Jeff Pevar and Inger Nova Jorgensen.</p>

  392. <p>American guitarist, singer, and songwriter Chuck Berry was born on 18th Oct 1926. Berry was one of the pioneers of rock and roll music, he refined and developed rhythm and blues into the major elements that made rock and roll distinctive, with lyrics focusing on teen life and consumerism and his own brand of showmanship that became a major influence on subsequent rock music.</p>
  393. <p>Without Chuck Berry, there&#8217;d be no Beatles and no Rolling Stones. Now can you imagine a world without the Stones? The only people who would&#8217;ve met Mick Jagger would have been his pupils at Dartford Boys Grammar School, where Mr. Jagger (or &#8216;Jumpin Jack Flash&#8217; as he was known by his class) worked as a PE instructor. He retired when he was 60 and is now regularly sighted around local bars chasing young ladies. And Keith Richards? Well, I can&#8217;t actually think of anything The Human Riff could&#8217;ve done except play the guitar. So maybe Keith would be busking at the bottom of escalators deep beneath the London underground network in London.</p>
  394. <p>&#8220;Johnny B. Goode&#8221; was one of the examples of music sent out into space In such good company as well. The musical selection was varied: Beethoven, Guan Pinghu, Mozart, Stravinsky, and Chuck Berry. You see, he IS the King of Rock and Roll, no Elvis Presley records in sight!</p>

  396. <p>The Voyager Golden Records were included on both Voyager spacecraft, which were launched in 1977. They contain sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth, and are intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life form, or for future humans, who may find them. The Voyager spacecraft are not heading toward any particular star, but Voyager 1 will be within 1.6 light years of the star AC+79 3888 in the Ophiuchus constellation in about 40,000 years. Now that might seem like a long time to you, but if I was an alien, I know it would be worth the wait.</p>
  397. <p>Voyager will come crashing down on planet Zonk, the door will burst open on impact, and out will roll that disc. The three-headed men will excitedly gather around the smoldering craft, get out their record player (where did that come from?), and marvel at the sounds coming from that small disc.</p>

  401. There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood<br />
  402. Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode<br />
  403. Who never ever learned to read or write so well<br />
  404. But he could play the guitar just like a-ringin&#8217; a bell<br />
  405. </i></p>
  406. <p>And you know, it will sound even better to those aliens, because having three heads, they&#8217;ll all have six ears. All the better for listening to rock and roll music with.</p>
  407. <p>&#8220;Johnny B. Goode&#8221; is Berry&#8217;s masterpiece, as it brought together all the elements of his unique musical sound. It cemented his place in rock history and inspired so many young men to learn the guitar and form bands. Without Chuck Berry, Bruce Springsteen would be a folk singer.</p>
  408. <p>Chuck outlived so many of his contemporaries. Berry is like all great innovators, truly original, and unique.</p>
  409. <p>Some say he only wrote one song, which has been re-worked over and over again, but I don&#8217;t agree with that. And anyway, if it was just one song, it was a bloody good one.</p>
  410. <p>In 2002, Rolling Stone magazine published a list of the Top 50 guitar songs of all time. No.5 was &#8220;Brown Sugar&#8221; by The Rolling Stones, No.4, &#8220;You Really Got Me&#8221; By The Kinks, No.3, &#8220;Crossroads&#8221;, by Cream, No.2 &#8220;Purple Haze&#8221;, by Jimi Hendrix and No.1 &#8220;Johnny B Goode&#8221;, Chuck Berry.</p>
  411. <p>Now that&#8217;s a very nice list indeed to top.</p>
  412. <p>Chuck Berry died on 18 March 2017 aged 90.</p>
  413. <p>&#8220;If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it &#8216;Chuck Berry&#8217;.&#8221; John Lennon</p>

  1425. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I can’t think of anyone apart from Elvis who has had such an influence and hold on musical culture for over 40 years, the singer became an imposing and influential figure. Johnny Cash didn&#8217;t sound like county music from Nashville, nor did he sound like a rock &amp; roll singer. He created his own subgenre, halfway between folk, rock &amp; roll, and the world-weariness of country.</p>
  1426. <p>Born in the town of Kingsland, Cleveland County, Arkansas, to Ray Cash, a farmer, and Carrie Rivers Cash, who at the height of the Depression, took advantage of a new farming program, an experiment in American Socialism created by Roosevelt&#8217;s new administration. With no money down, the Cash family was given 20 acres of fertile bottom land and a five-room house in Dyess Colony, in the northeast part of the state.</p>
  1427. <p>At the age of 12 Cash began writing his own songs inspired by the country songs he heard on the radio. He graduated from high school in 1950, moving to Detroit to work in an auto factory and then with the outbreak of the Korean War, he enlisted in the Air Force. While he was in the Air Force, Cash bought his first guitar and taught himself to play.</p>
  1428. <p><iframe src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/album/4TJIdlY9hGSSTO1kUs1neh" width="100%" height="380" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
  1429. <p>When Elvis Presley&#8217;s debut single was released on Sam Phillips&#8217; Sun Records, Cash eager to get into music moved to Memphis, taking a job at the local Chevrolet dealership, near Sun Studios on Union Avenue.</p>
  1430. <p>It was while working here, Cash was introduced to Luther Monroe Perkins and Marshall Grant who were guitar pickers who, with steel guitarist A.W. &#8216;Red&#8217; Kernodle had the group The Tennessee Three. Cash started to rehearse gospel songs with them and soon found themselves playing at local parties and church socials &#8211; all dressed in black.</p>
  1431. <p>This was 1957 and Cash also made his Grand Ole Opry debut that year, again appearing all in black where the other performers were decked out in flamboyant, rhinestone-studded outfits. Eventually, he earned the nickname of &#8220;The Man in Black.&#8221;</p>
  1432. <p>As his career was taking off in the late 1950s, Cash started drinking heavily and became addicted to amphetamines and barbiturates. Cash used the uppers to stay awake during tours. Friends joked about his &#8220;nervousness&#8221; and erratic behavior, many ignoring the warning signs of his worsening drug addiction.</p>
  1433. <p>His signature songs include &#8220;I Walk The Line&#8221;, &#8220;Folsom Prison Blues&#8221;, &#8220;Ring Of Fire&#8221;, and &#8220;Man in Black&#8221;. He also recorded humorous numbers, including &#8220;One Piece At A Time&#8221; and &#8220;A Boy Named Sue&#8221;; a duet with his future wife, June Carter, called &#8220;Jackson&#8221;, (which won them a Grammy award), as well as railroad songs including &#8220;Hey, Porter&#8221; and &#8220;Rock Island Line&#8221;.</p>
  1434. <p>From 1969 to 1971, Cash starred in his own television show, The Johnny Cash Show, on the ABC network. In this prime-time show, Cash enjoyed booking contemporary performers as guests; Neil Young, Kenny Rogers and The First Edition (who appeared a record four times on his show), James Taylor, Ray Charles, Eric Clapton and Bob Dylan all appeared.</p>
  1435. <p>In the 80’s Cash appeared in a number of television films including The Pride of Jesse Hallam and Murder in Coweta County. The singer, never taking himself to seriously also appeared as a &#8220;very special guest star&#8221; in an episode of the Muppet Show.</p>

  1437. <p>His career was rejuvenated in the 1990s, leading to popularity with an audience not traditionally interested in country music. In 1993, he sang &#8220;The Wanderer&#8221; on U2&#8217;s album Zooropa and later was offered a contract with producer Rick Rubin&#8217;s American Recordings label, better known for rap and hard rock.</p>
  1438. <p>Under Rubin&#8217;s supervision, he recorded American Recordings (1994) in his living room, accompanied only by his Martin dreadnought guitar – one of many Cash played throughout his career. The album which featured covers of contemporary artists won Cash another Grammy.</p>
  1439. <p>Health problems plagued Cash throughout the &#8217;90s and into the 2000s, but he continued to record with Rick Rubin; their fourth collaboration, American IV: The Man Comes Around, was released in late 2002.</p>
  1440. <p>If you’ve never heard these albums, I strongly recommend you do. The choice of songs, the production and that voice of Johnny Cash is like nothing else.</p>
  1441. <p>The following year, the Mark Romanek-directed video for his cover of Nine Inch Nails&#8217; &#8220;Hurt&#8221; garnered considerable acclaim and media attention, culminating in an unexpected nomination for video of the year at the MTV Video Music Awards. Everyone knew that Johnny wouldn’t be around for much longer and to see that video at the time was such a moving experience – as it remains today. Watching Cash sing “What have I become? My sweetest friend, everyone I know, goes away in the end”, brings you close to tears.</p>
  1442. <p>He was one of country music&#8217;s biggest stars of the &#8217;50s and &#8217;60s, In total, he wrote over 1,000 songs, scoring well over 100 hit singles. No other artist has touched the world of music quite like Johnny Cash. He is the only person to be inducted into the Country Music Hall Of Fame, The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame AND The Songwriter&#8217;s Hall Of Fame. The image of ‘The Man In Black’ is as deeply American as the stars and stripes themselves.</p>

  2842. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In Sept 1955, Little Richard entered a New Orleans recording studio to begin two days of recording. Things were not going well and during a break, Richard and his producer; Bumps Blackwell went to the Dew Drop Inn for lunch. Richard started playing the piano in the bar, singing aloud and lewd version of “Tutti Frutti.” With only fifteen minutes left in the session, Richard recorded the song and coined the phrase, “A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-lop-bam-boom.”</p>
  2843. <p>Can you imagine how cool it would be to coin a phrase like that! And today over fifty years later, it still sounds as good.</p>
  2844. <p><iframe src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/playlist/2hOC6HgpD6TCBXCyPdo4ze" width="100%" height="380" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allow="encrypted-media"></iframe></p>
  2845. <p>That opening cry of &#8220;A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-lop-bop-bop!&#8221; was supposedly intended to be an onomatopoeic parody of a drum intro.</p>
  2846. <p>Little Richard Penniman had recorded for Peacock Records since 1951, his records had been relatively undistinguished and had sold poorly. In February 1955, he sent a demo tape to Specialty Records, which was heard by producer Robert &#8216;Bumps&#8217; Blackwell. Blackwell heard promise in the tapes and arranged a recording session for Little Richard at in New Orleans in September 1955, with Fats Domino&#8217;s backing band.</p>
  2847. <p>However, as the session wore on, Little Richard&#8217;s anarchic performance style was not being fully captured on tape. It was then that the Band took a lunch break and in frustration, Richard started pounding a piano and singing a ribald song, which he had been performing, live for some time.</p>
  2848. <p>Richard is considered key in the transition from rhythm and blues to rock and roll in the 1950s. He was also the first artist to put the funk in the rock and roll beat and contributed significantly to the development of soul music. He was also a brilliant showman.</p>

  2850. <p>When released the record entered the Billboard Rhythm and Blues chart at the end of November 1955, and rose to #2 early in 1956. It also reached #17 on the Billboard pop chart. Surprisingly in the UK, it only scraped into the top 30 in 1957, as the B-side of &#8220;Long Tall Sally&#8221;.</p>
  2851. <p>On October 12, 1957, while at the height of stardom, Penniman abruptly quit rock and roll music and became a born-again Christian. He had charted seventeen original hits in less than three years. In January 1958, he enrolled in and attended Bible college to become a preacher and evangelist and began recording and performing only gospel music for a number of years. He then moved back and forth from rock and roll to the ministry, until he was able to reconcile the two roles in later life.</p>
  2852. <p>Did you know that Tutti Frutti is Cockney slang for Beauty?</p>
  2853. <p>It’s funny how the phrase ‘Tutti Frutti’ has stuck with us for all this time, and is now so well established. We have so many brands using the name to sell everything from Pizzas to ladies&#8217; underwear to the award-winning UK TV series, Bars, a German TV Game show and the film Miss Tutti Frutti. And the world-famous Croatian rock band called …. Tutti Frutti. (who?).</p>
  2854. <p>In 2010, The Library of Congress National Recording Registry added Penniman&#8217;s original 1955 hit “Tutti Frutti” to its registry, claiming that the hit announced a new era in music: “A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-lop-bam-boom!”</p>

Campbell drowned when he was a toddler in the Little Missouri River near his family’s Arkansas home. His lips were blue when he was pulled from the river and those who rescued him believed he was gone. But he lived miraculously after his brother Lyndell resuscitated him. </p>
  3410. <p>Campbell’s father recognised his musical talent and bought him a $5 guitar at the age of four. He quickly showed himself to be a prodigy under the tutelage of his Uncle Boo. As a teenager he broke the poverty cycle and began to earn a living with his guitar and went on to become one of the most respected, revered and popular performers of the rock ‘n’ roll era.</p>
  3411. <p>As a session musician in the 1960s he worked with Bobby Darin, Ricky Nelson, <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/stairway-to-heaven/davy-jones/">The Monkees</a>, <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/stairway-to-heaven/elvis-presley/">Elvis Presley</a>, <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/stairway-to-heaven/frank-sinatra/">Frank Sinatra</a>, The Velvet Underground, Frankie Laine, The Association, Jan &amp; Dean and The Mamas &amp; the Papas. He was a touring member of <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/classic-albums/the-beach-boys-pet-sounds/">The Beach Boys</a>, filling in for an ailing <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/artists/brian-wilson/">Brian Wilson</a> in 1964 and 1965. His guitar playing can be heard on &#8220;Strangers in the Night&#8221; by Sinatra, &#8220;You&#8217;ve Lost That Lovin&#8217; Feelin'&#8221; by The Righteous Brothers and &#8220;I&#8217;m a Believer&#8221; by The Monkees.</p>

  3413. <p>He topped the US album chart in 1968 with Wichita Lineman. Although the LP would stay on the chart for 46 weeks, it would be Campbell&#8217;s only number one album, (although the follow up Galveston peaked at number 2), &#8220;Wichita Lineman&#8221; has been referred to as &#8220;the first existential country song.&#8221; Apparently, songwriter Jimmy Webb&#8217;s inspiration for the lyrics came while driving through rural northern Oklahoma when he noticed a solitary lineman atop his pole. Webb then &#8220;put himself atop that pole and put that phone in his hand&#8221; as he considered what the lineman was saying into the receiver. </p>
  3414. <p>Webb known for his successful collaborations with Campbell is a brilliant songwriter, his songs have been recorded or performed by The 5th Dimension, Thelma Houston, <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/artists/the-supremes/">The Supremes</a>, Richard Harris, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Art Garfunkel, Amy Grant, America, Linda Ronstadt, <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/artists/r-e-m/">R.E.M.</a>, and Carly Simon. </p>
  3415. <p>Campbell would conquer pop music in the mid-1970s when he released his best-selling single, “Rhinestone Cowboy,” a signature song that became his theme in many ways. The 1975 single, which has sold more than five million copies, remains a standard of the era. And in 1977 he released “Southern Nights,” a remake of Allen Toussaint’s classic. The song was the most-played jukebox track of 1977.</p>
  3416. <p>Before I go any further, I want to share with you a night I had in 2012, when I went to see Mr Campbell perform (on what we were told would be his last ever tour). And he was brilliant. He latest album at the time Ghost on the Canvas, contains a fine collection of tunes written by some of the finest young songwriters we have (Paul Westerberg, Teddy Thompson, Jakob Dylan, Roger Joseph Manning, Jr.), as well as Campbell’s own songs.</p>
  3417. <p>The album sadly was intended as his farewell to studio recording due to his diagnosis of Alzheimer&#8217;s disease. His stage presence was amazing — his charisma flowed into the audience from the stage, and the songs, they just kept coming, it was one of those gigs where you think surely he’s played all his hits by now, but they just kept coming. There was one point during the show where Glen was about to launch into the next song when his daughter Debby — who stood close to her father on stage — shouted, “Dad, Dad, this one is in F sharp”, To which Glen replied, “Oh, F sharp is it?” He re-adjusted his hands on the fretboard and proceeded to play a blistering guitar solo over the introduction to the song. Alzheimer&#8217;s obviously attacks part of the brain but not the part that’s marked ‘guitar solos and singing’. Another thing he kept doing throughout the show was as he looked at the set list to see what the next song was he would say, “Oh, I love this song, I’m so lucky to have sung all these great songs.” </p>
  3418. <p>Campbell released more than 70 albums and sold over 45 million records. He was in great demand as a session musician in the sixties and worked as part of the studio musicians&#8217; clique known as &#8220;the Wrecking Crew.&#8221; He played guitar on the Beach Boys&#8217; Pet Sounds album, as well as on recordings by artists from Elvis to Sinatra. On top of all this, Campbell hosted his own weekly variety show, The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour, from January 1969 through June 1972. His TV shows broke viewing records; everybody loved to hear Glen Campbell sing and play his guitar.</p>

  3420. <p>The opening paragraph from his Ghost on the Canvas press release said it all:<br />
  3421. &#8220;Ghost On the Canvas is the album of Glen Campbell’s life. Take that as literally or figuratively as you like and it still is the case. With beauty, power, heartfelt emotion and deep spirituality, this set of songs &#8211; a song cycle, if you will &#8211; traces the arc of Campbell’s 75 years: From dirt-poor, tiny-town Arkansas origins to Hollywood triumphs on the pop charts, TV and movies. From troubled free-falls of addiction and bad life choices to personal and spiritual redemption.&#8221;</p>
  3422. <p>&#8220;I’ve tried and I have failed Lord, I’ve won and I have lost, I’ve lived and I have loved Lord
, Sometimes at such a cost, One thing I know, The world’s been good for me, A better place awaits, You’ll see&#8221;</p>
  3423. <p>Glen Campbell, “A Better Place”</p>
  3424. <p>Glen Campbell is our real life ‘lineman’; he’s told us countless tales in songs over the years, he’s played on some of our favourite records. </p>
  3425. <p>Campbell was the subject of the documentary Glen Campbell: I&#8217;ll Be Me, directed by longtime friend James Keach, which examined Campbell’s Alzheimer&#8217;s diagnosis and how it affected his musical performances during his final tour across the United States with his family.</p>
  3426. <p>Glen died in Nashville, Tennessee, on August 8, 2017, at the age of 81. He was buried in the Campbell family cemetery in Billstown, Arkansas.</p>

  4080. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There’s something very nice and warm about Neil Diamond — he’s like an old friend, a comfy pair of slippers, he’s your favourite uncle. You see, I’m saying all this and I’ve never even met the guy. But reading about him confirms my thoughts. Many acts from <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/stairway-to-heaven/elvis-presley/">Elvis Presley</a>, Lulu, and <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/classic-albums/deep-purple-machine-head/">Deep Purple</a> have all covered his songs. With his 2008 album Home Before Dark, Diamond became the oldest artist to have a US number one; the record was previously held by <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/quizzes/the-very-hard-bob-dylan-quiz/">Bob Dylan</a> in 2006 with Modern Times.</p>
  4081. <p><iframe src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/playlist/2Nt7HAt405U9jflJ162diw" width="100%" height="380" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allow="encrypted-media"></iframe></p>
  4082. <p>A few years back the singer was caught in a very expensive divorce. The split cost Diamond a $150 million slice of his fortune and it remains one of the highest divorce payouts in history, dwarfing those of Steven Spielberg ($100 million), Michael Douglas ($45 million) and <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/liner-notes/30-facts-about-paul-mccartney/">Sir Paul McCartney</a> (£24.3 million).</p>
  4083. <p>But even this didn’t make Neil turn the air blue. Diamond refused to attack his ex-wife in public and said he felt no bitterness about the size of the settlement. “She is the most wonderful woman, who stood by me through rough times. She deserves every penny of it,” he said after the divorce.</p>
  4084. <p>Born in Brooklyn, New York, on 24 January 1941, Neil took up the guitar after seeing folk singer Pete Seeger perform at a camp he attended as a teenager. On leaving university he teamed up with friend Jack Packer and, as Neil &amp; Jack, signed a publishing deal.</p>
  4085. <p>In 1963 he signed a recording contract with Columbia Records but after no chart success was dropped by the label. It took the singer another few years of hard graft before scoring his first solo hit, “Solitary Man”. But then he was up and running; more hits followed, as well as <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/stairway-to-heaven/davy-jones/">The Monkees</a> covering his song “I’m A Believer”.</p>
  4086. <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r96/thisdayinmusic/Neil%20Diamond%20single.jpg" /></p>
  4087. <p>And the hits did keep coming: eight number ones including: &#8220;Cracklin&#8217; Rosie&#8221;, &#8220;Song Sung Blue&#8221;, &#8220;Desiree&#8221;, &#8220;You Don&#8217;t Bring Me Flowers&#8221;, and &#8220;Love On The Rocks&#8221;. He became an internationally successful touring act, and has now sold over 115 million records worldwide including 48 million in the United States alone. He is the third most successful adult contemporary artist on the Billboard charts behind <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/artists/elton-john-rocket-man/">Elton John</a> and one-time duet partner Barbra Streisand.</p>
  4088. <p>Diamond said that his 2014 album Melody Road was fueled by his relationship with McNeil, explaining: &#8220;There&#8217;s no better inspiration or motivation for work than being in love. It&#8217;s what you dream of as a creative person. I was able to complete this album &#8211; start it, write it and complete it &#8212; under the spell of love, and I think it shows somehow.&#8221;</p>
  4089. <p>Neil Diamond is poles apart from <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/artists/bob-dylan/">Bob Dylan</a>, but they have so much in common. Both are still making great records, both still enjoy performing, both are now in their 70&#8217;s. How did that happen?</p>
