Elton John UnNamed XA 8.04.2010 Original name: Reginald Kenneth Dwight Sir Elton John, is an English singer-songwriter, composer and pianist. He was born in 1947, in England. When John began to seriously consider a career in music, his father, who served as a Flight Lieutenant in the Royal Air Force, tried to steer him toward a more conventional career, such as banking. He started to play the piano at the early age of four. At the age of 11, he won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music At the age of 12 he took Saturday classes at the Academy in central London, and has stated that he enjoyed playing Chopin and Bach and singing in the choir during Saturd...
profitable. One of the most streamed songs, Avicii’s release Wake Me Up! got over 168 million streams. And yet, that only made $12,359 in Pandora domestic royalties. Many songwriters feel like they’re work is being devalued. Consider the fact that it takes roughly one million spins on Pandora for a songwriter to earn just 90$. Also, songwriters are forced to make more incomes and leave song writing as a hobby. They may even end up quitting songwriting because nothing motivates them. In conclusion, I think that a good and passionate songwriter doesn’t complain about his/her salary or income. Music industry is extremely huge and so is the competition: if Taylor Swift removes her songs from Spotify, another one’s songs take her spot and listeners. Supporting your favourites isn’t always a bad idea, but support should come by itself.
1 U.S. albums, 59 Top 40 singles, 16 Top 10, four No. 2 hits, and nine No. 1 hits. He has won five Grammy awards and one Academy Award. His success has had a profound impact on popular music and has contributed to the continued popularity of the piano in rock and roll. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked him #49 on their list of the 100 greatest artists of all time. Some of the characteristics of John's musical talent include an ability to quickly craft melodies for the lyrics of songwriting partner Bernie Taupin, his former rich tenor (now baritone) voice, his classical and gospel-influenced piano, the aggressive orchestral arrangements of Paul Buckmaster among others and the flamboyant fashions, outlandishly excessive eyeglasses, and on-stage showmanship, especially evident during the 1970s. John was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994. He has been heavily involved in the fight against AIDS since the late 1980s, and was knighted in 1998. He
itita H a m e I eG im Ring Ring im m im m eG G ABBA Breaking up ABBA has never officially announced the end of the group Their last public performance together as ABBA was on the British TV programme The Late, Late Breakfast Show December 11, 1982. Björn and Benny started songwriting sessions for the musical Chess and girls started recording solo albums ABBA How much would it be worth to see a reunited ABBA on stage again? One billion SEK- Recently the group turned down an offer in that breathtaking size. At least we discussed it. It's a lot of money to just say "no thanks" to. But we came to the conclusion that it wasn't for us, Benny Andersson says.
From 1962 the group consisted of John Lennon (rhythm guitar, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass guitar, vocals), George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals) and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals). Rooted in skiffle and 1950s rock and roll, the group later worked in many genres ranging from folk rock to psychedelic pop, often incorporating classical and other elements in innovative ways. The nature of their enormous popularity, which first emerged as the "Beatlemania" fad, transformed as their songwriting grew in sophistication. The group came to be perceived as the embodiment of progressive ideals, seeing their influence extend into the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s. With an early five-piece line-up of Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, Stuart Sutcliffe (bass) and Pete Best (drums), The Beatles built their reputation in Liverpool and Hamburg clubs over a three-year period from 1960. Sutcliffe left the group in 1961, and Best was replaced by Starr the following year
