Dean Martin, an entertaining, humorous crooner,
jokes about Pat Boone, known for wholesome 
pop songs and evangelical shows.

Known for her sensuality, this lady 
hits the headlines with her cute quips.


The King, died at 44, so famous, today's 
grandchildren are familiar with his songs?

Watch the quality of both these video clips. 
Eye catchers! They beat all the odds. The Blackpink clip was done less than 5 years ago; the Monroe movie more than 50 years ago. 
But both musicals remain just as entertaining and catchy.

Long And Short Comments From Legends About Pop Music In General

[1] Johnny Mathis

“I think the music perpetuated now on radio and that kids hear, structure-wise, is not geared for pretty sounds. It’s geared for pyrotechnics. They get a big kick out of it, but they’re just kids. It takes a while for other influences to get to a younger crowd.”

[2] Hank Marvin [The Shadows]

“When I’m playing a tune, I like to try to imagine I’m singing it and use phrasing that works for me. To feel I’m communicating something through the melody against playing it straight, or changing it so much that you lose some charm of the original...  when I play a great tune I always like to establish it first. If someone’s written a great tune it’s good to show you appreciate and respect the value of that tune.”

''Ironically, for a few million people in the Far East, I did become an English teacher through my music.'' 

[4] Paul Anka

“I believe in criticism.” 

[5] Eric Burdon [Animals]

''It's the need for change that drives us to join forces with our brothers and sisters all around the world - but change is slow.''
