After watching the documentary “Soul Survivor - The James Brown Story”, I know more stories about this legendary musician - James Brown, we known as the Godfather of Soul. James Brown was born in 1933 and died in 2006. James Brown’s childhood is not happy; he grows up in a whorehouse and he even went to the jail. However, he did not give up his love for music. After him released from prison, he joined Bobby Byrd’s group. In 1955, he recorded the song “Please Please Please”, although some people did

Rock’ n’ Roll in the 1950s: The change in America Music as a whole blends together. One style leads to another, the music becomes more progressive. It evolves to fit the new generation, leaving the old generation behind. From the spritual songs of the late 1800s to the gospel of the early 1900s. Then it changed into rhythm and blues, and when the 1950s rolled around it became Rock’ n’ Roll. With the invention of new iconic instruments like the Fender Precision Bass and then the Fender Stratocaster

The 1980s era was interesting. It was the time of the ‘me’ generation. The decade was prosperous, and the U.S. was not involved in any major war. The overflow of sexual revolution from the 1960s and 1970s spilled over into the 1980s, but with a caveat.

Should it be feared like the bubonic plague? Would a

Music has been around for a long time, and no one is really sure when it was invented; music has always seemed to just be. But, since music has been given rules and explored as an art form, it has been innovated and changed in ways that changed it forever. The invention and of electricity and machines changed the way that music was approached, as much as exploring what a chord is. Electricity also brought about a new, interesting genre of music; electronic music, which is any type of music that is

Many people have different ideas on what their favorite type of music is. “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and flight to everything” as said by the artist Plato. I couldn’t agree more with this statement. All depending on your appeal to music and your taste. For me I find pop music, rap and R&B most appealing.

The killers The alarms blare and the rain pours as three burglars jump through the broken windows of the bank. Money bags and pistols in hand, they shoot the police as they try to apprehend them. The police return fire, but are unsuccessful in stopping them. The burglars sprint to their getaway car and speed off, police chasing them. The burglars and police enter a firefight and shoot at each other nonstop. The police chase the burglars to a dead end, knowing the burglars cannot escape. They get

A pop culture element that is important to me is music. Music has had a major impact on my life, and I am thankful for it. I truly believe I would be a lost soul without music. It speaks to me in a way that many people would not understand. This element brings me ideas in many different ways and it helps me to be a better me. Music speaks to my mind and sooths it also. When I am feeling down music is my go to. It helps me cheer up and it gets me back to the old me. Hip Hop and R&B music helps me
