Elvis Presley
Elvis Aaron Presley
(January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977), also known mononymously as Elvis, was an American singer and actor.
Regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King".
Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee with his family when he was 13 years old.
His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African-American music to a wider audience.
Presley, on rhythm acoustic guitar, and accompanied by lead guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, was a pioneer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues.
In 1955, drummer D. J. Fontana joined to complete the lineup of Presley's classic quartet and RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who would manage him for more than two decades.
Presley's first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel", was released in January 1956 and became a number-one hit in the United States.
With a series of successful network television appearances and chart-topping records, he became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll.
His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, made him enormously popular—and controversial.
In November 1956, Presley made his film debut in "Love Me Tender".
Drafted into military service in 1958, Presley relaunched his recording career two years later with some of his most commercially successful work.
He held few concerts however, and guided by Parker, proceeded to devote much of the 1960s to making Hollywood films and soundtrack albums, most of them critically derided.
In 1968, following a seven-year break from live performances, he returned to the stage in the acclaimed television comeback special "Elvis", which led to an extended Las Vegas concert residency and a string of highly profitable tours.
In 1973, Presley gave the first concert by a solo artist to be broadcast around the world, "Aloha from Hawaii".
Years of prescription drug abuse severely compromised his health, and he died suddenly in 1977 at his Graceland estate at the age of 42.
Presley is the best-selling solo artist in the history of recorded music.
He was commercially successful in many genres, including pop, country, blues, and gospel.
He won three competitive Grammys, received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36, and has been inducted into multiple music halls of fame.
Breathe (Don't Stop)
" Breathe( Do n't Stop)" is a song released by Mr. On and the Jungle Brothers, from the Jungle brother's album" You in My Hut Now".
The song was not commercially successful, reaching# 33 on the Australian ARIA singles chart, and# 30 on the New Zealand RIANZ singles chart.
" Breathe( Do n't Stop)" also peaked at# 56 in the Netherlands.
It is based on samples from Michael Jackson's" Do n't Stop' til You Get Enough"
When Did You Stop Loving Me
" When Did You Stop Loving Me" is a song written by Donny Kees and Monty Holmes and recorded by American country music artist George Strait.
It was released in April 1993 as the third and final single from his album" Pure Country".
The song reached both number 6 on the" Billboard" Hot Country Singles& Tracks chart and on the Canadian" RPM" Country Tracks chart.
When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You
" When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You" is a 1978 song recorded by singer Marvin Gaye.
Taken from his" Here, My Dear" album, it was written following his 1976 divorce when he was ordered to give half the takings of his next album to ex-wife Anna Gaye.
In the album, he" poured his emotions into songs agonisingly documenting their relationship's rise and fall."
The song was a six- minute- long opus that has been considered the centerpiece of the" Here, My Dear" album.
As if offering confessional testimony to his wife, Gaye airs his side of the story of how his ill- fated marriage to the sister of his record label boss Berry Gordy collapsed.
In a spoken narrative, the singer accuses Anna in the beginning of not following their marriage vows, saying that lying about being faithful was similar to" lying to God".
He then blames himself as well for the death of the marriage, stating:" I tried but all of( our) promises( were) nothing but lies" and then promises himself if he finds someone else( his new wife Janis), he will try a new way.
But no matter how optimistic he seemed, he always reflected back on his marriage to Anna and how at one point, she called the cops on him for a domestic dispute.
The title is not spoken until the final verse, when Marvin croons in his trademark falsetto about where did the love go in their relationship.
Written and produced solely by the artist himself, the song was unusual for having no distinct melody, no bridge and no distinct chorus and for its length.
However, it did have near melodic consistencies, such as" Memories of the things we did/ Some we're proud of, some we hid If you loved me with all of your heart/ You'd never take a million dollars to part".
He would use the instrumental of this song as both an instrumental track( with several Gaye ad- libs) and as the reprise of the album to end it.
The song served as the template for Daryl Hall's song" Stop Loving Me, Stop Loving You," from his 1993 solo album," Soul Alone."
After being played the song by a friend and thinking it was an unreleased bootleg, Hall reworked the tune as a standard- structured R&B/ pop song.
Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough

Like the preceding singles from the album," Do n't Stop( Funkin' 4 Jamaica)" failed to mane any significant impact on the charts.

Falling in Love Again (Marvin Gaye song)
" Falling in Love Again" is a 1977 song recorded by singer Marvin Gaye and issued on his 1978 album," Here, My Dear" album.
The song was another track on the personal album that did not discuss the demise of his first marriage.
Instead of Anna Gaye, the song talked of the other woman in Marvin's life.
Described in" You Can Leave, but It's Going to Cost You" as" that young girl", she was Janis Hunter, whom Gaye had married.
In a solemn but still certain tone, he wanted to be sure that this time his love for Janis will be what he had always wanted.
But as irony would have it, by the time of the album's release, Marvin and Janis' relationship was failing.
By the end of the album's promotion, Janis had split from the singer after nearly two years as a married couple.
They eventually divorced in February 1981.
This song was the last song on" Here, My Dear" with a reprise from the album's" theme songWhen Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You", playing soon afterwards putting the album to a close for good.
