Del Shannon (Article)
Tuesday, January 21, 2014
Inductee: Del Shannon (vocals, guitar; born December 30, 1934; died February 8, 1990)Del Shannon is a key figure in rock and roll's transition from the Fifties to Sixties, serving as something of a link between Elvis Presley and the Beatles. He was among the relatively few self-reliant rock and rollers of the Teen Idol era. He wrote his own material, played guitar and sang, and did not project a manufactured image. Shannon turned out a solid run of hits during the first half of the Sixties, including one bonafide classic ("Runaway") and seven more Top 40 singles. He also gave and received

Rhino Reading Room: Stein, Fields, and Gould (Article)
Tuesday, June 12, 2018
Once upon a time, the late Bill Hicks used the phrase “looks like we got ourselves a reader” as a punchline, but we here at Rhino Records still enjoy the opportunity to take a book off the shelf, slowly flip through the pages, and absorb the contents within. This is particularly so when the book in question is about music, and today is a very good day for who fall into that category, as it’s the release date of a memoir by a man who’s had a big hand in one of the labels that’s near and dear to Rhino’s heart: Seymour Stein, the man behind Sire Records. We thought this was a good excuse to kick

The Supremes (Article)
Tuesday, January 21, 2014
The Supremes rose from the poverty of Detroit's Brewster housing project to become Motown's most consistent hitmakers and the most popular female group of the Sixties. The Supremes sang in a polished style that bridged the worlds of pop and soul. Their greatest success came with songs tailor-made for them by Motown's peerless in-house writing and production team of Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Eddie Holland (see "Holland-Dozier-Holland"). Under the watchful eye of Motown founder Berry Gordy, the partnership between the Supremes and Holland-Dozier-Holland yielded an astounding run of Number

Creedence Clearwater Revival (Article)
Tuesday, January 21, 2014
"In 1968, I always used to say that I wanted to make records they would still play on the radio in 10 years," John Fogerty, former leader of Creedence Clearwater Revival, said on the eve of the group's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In retrospect, Fogerty got all he wished for and more. Four decades later, Creedence's songs – including "Proud Mary," "Born on the Bayou," "Bad Moon Rising" and "Green River" – endure as timeless rock and roll classics. Under Fogerty's tutelage, Creedence Clearwater Revival defined the spirit and sound of rock and roll as authentically as any

Almost alone among American bands, Aerosmith matched those British legends in power, intensity, and notoriety. Moreover, they've long since surpassed many of their influences in terms of longevity and popularity

Little Anthony and the Imperials (Article)

Moreover, they enjoyed unusual longevity for an act of that type, having hits in both the doo-wop Fifties and the soul-music Sixties.

His first groups were called

Bob Lefsetz: Welcome To My World - "Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming To The Canyon)" (Article)
Friday, August 16, 2013
And you wonder why we wanted to move to California... "I used to live in New York City Everything there was dark and dirty" It's different today. People don't take L.A. seriously. The whole state of California, it's lost its position in the country's consciousness, except for maybe Silicon Valley. But once upon a time California was the repository of our nation's hopes and dreams, it's where you went to let go and be your true self. And despite all the bad press, about taxes and social problems...it still is. You drive up PCH, you stand on the beach at Malibu...and you believe you've been
