The group's big break was when they became an opening act for hip hop group Public Enemy. Public Enemy's Chuck D gave Busta Rhymes and Charlie Brown their respective stage names. Leaders of the New School began recording in late 1989 and released their debut album A Future Without a Past... in 1991 on Elektra Records. In early 1992, the group appeared on A Tribe Called Quest's posse cut "Scenario". In 1993, they released T.I.M.E. (The Inner Mind's Eye). Smith gained popularity from his advanced rhymes as well as his unique style that was not common of many New York rap artists at the time. Raised by two Jamaican parents, Smith embraced his heritage in his music and image as an artist. Smith was the only member of the group to wear dreads and use Jamaican slang, or Jamaican Patois, in his raps. Smith's unique style added an element to the group that allowed for rapid success. Soon after, however, internal problems arose because of Busta Rhymes's increasing popularity, and the group broke up on the set of Yo! MTV Raps. In the summer of 1995, Busta Rhymes began working on his solo debut album The Coming, and a month after recording was completed, he released it in March 1996\. A month before the album was released, he broke out with a hit single, "Woo Hah!! Got You All in Check". Later, he started work on his second album, When Disaster Strikes, which would not be released until September 1997\. It produced the hit singles "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See" and "Fire It Up". #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: The Verve is known for [The Girl Next Door (2004)](/title/tt0265208/?ls), [Cruel Intentions (1999)](/title/tt0139134/?ls) and [Sliver (1993)](/title/tt0108162/?ls). 21\.

Each album presented a unique theme and added new musical styles to the band's original repertoire, including electronica, ambient, pop, R&B, funk, classical, jazz fusion, and progressive rock. They are also known for "euphoric" live performances, with critics stating are when the band "make the most sense". To celebrate their 20th anniversary in 2018, a career-spanning documentary directed by Mat Whitecross was premiered at selected cinemas, featuring previously unseen behind-the-scenes footage. With 100 million albums sold worldwide, Coldplay are the most successful band of the 21st century and one of the best-selling music acts of all time. According to Fuse, they are also the sixth-most awarded group in history. Other notable achievements include the sixth-highest-grossing tour of all time, three of the 50 highest-selling albums ever in the United Kingdom, the most number-one records in the country without ever missing the top, most nominations and wins for a band in Brit Awards history, and becoming the first British group to debut at number-one on the Billboard Hot 100\. Coldplay are considered one of the most influential bands of the 21st century as well, with Forbes describing them as the standard for the current alternative scene. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame included A Rush of Blood to the Head on their "200 Definitive Albums" list and the single "Yellow" is part of their "Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll" exhibition for being one of the most successful and important recordings in the industry. In spite of their popularity and impact, Coldplay have earned a reputation as polarizing music icons. 10\. Coldplay - "Fix You" (2005) \[X&Y\] * [11\.

They were not hired, but the material helped them later. During the year 1962, they made several trips to London and auditioned for various labels. In May of 1962 Epstein canceled the group's contract with Tony Sheridan and the German label. Brian Epstein was persistent in trying to sign a record deal for the Beatles, even after being rejected by every major record label in UK, like Columbia, Philips, Oriole, Decca, and Pye. Epstein transferred a demo tape to disc with HMV technician Jim Foy, who liked their song and referred it to Parlophone's George Martin. On June 6, 1962, at the Abbey Road studios, they passed Martin's audition with the exception of Pete Best. George Martin liked them, but recommended the change of a drummer. Being asked by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison; Epstein fired Pete Best. After a mutual decision the band was completed with [Ringo Starr](/name/nm0823592/?ls), who duly became the fourth Beatle. In September of 1962 The Beatles recorded their first hit Love Me Do, which charted in UK, and reached the top of the US singles chart. London became their new home since 1963\. On February 11, 1963, The Beatles recorded the entire album 'Please, Please me' in one day, working non-stop during ten-hour studio session. In May and June, 1963, the band made a tour with Roy Orbison. In August of 1963, their single She Loves You became a super hit. Their October 1963 performance at the London Palladium made them famous in Great Britain and initiated the Beatlemania in the UK. The show at the London Palladium was broadcast live and seen by twelve million viewers. Then, in November 1962, The Beatles gave a charity concert at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London. There, performing for the rich and famous, John Lennon made his famous announcement: Would the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? And the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry. #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: Sir Elton John is one of pop music's great survivors. Born 25 March, 1947, as Reginald Kenneth Dwight, 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. His first band was called Bluesology. He later auditioned (unsuccessfully) as lead singer for the progressive rock bands [King Crimson](/name/nm1072743/?ls) and Gentle Giant. Dwight teamed up with lyricist [Bernie Taupin](/name/nm0005479/?ls) and changed his name to Elton John (merging the names of saxophonist [Elton Dean](/name/nm1304628/?ls) and [Long John Baldry](/name/nm0049827/?ls)). The duo wrote songs for [Lulu](/name/nm0525801/?ls) and [Roger Cook](/name/nm0177263/?ls). In the early 1970s, he recorded the concept album "Tumbleweed Connection." He became the most successful pop artist of the 1970s, and he has survived many different pop fads including punk, the New Romantics and Britpop to remain one of Britain's most internationally acclaimed musicians. Elton John announced he was a bisexual in 1976, and in 1984, he married Renate Blauel. The marriage lasted four years before he finally came to terms with the fact that he was actually homosexual. In the 1970s and 1980s, he suffered from drug and alcohol addiction and bulimia but came through it. He is well known as a campaigner for AIDS research and he keeps his finger on the pulse of modern music, enjoying artists such as [Eminem](/name/nm0004896/?ls), [Radiohead](/name/nm1955602/?ls), [Coldplay](/name/nm1095892/?ls) and [Robbie Williams](/name/nm0005560/?ls).

While the movie itself and her performance in it were not highly praised, the soundtrack album and her cover of the [Dolly Parton](/name/nm0000573/?ls) song 'I Will Always Love You' topped the singles and albums charts for months and sold 44 million copies around the world. That same year she married ex-New Edition singer [Bobby Brown](/name/nm0113140/?ls) with whom she had her only child, their daughter [Bobbi Kristina Brown](/name/nm2002663/?ls) in March 1993\. It was about this time that her much documented drug use began and by 1996 she was a daily user. Her 1998 album, 'My Love Is Your Love' was well reviewed but the drug abuse began to affect her reputation and press reports at the time said that she was becoming difficult to work with, if she turned up at all. She was dropped from a performance at [The 72nd Annual Academy Awards (2000)](/title/tt0266222/?ls) because she was "out of it" at rehearsals. Her weight fluctuated wildly - she was so thin at a 'Michael Jackson' tribute in 2001 that rumors circulated the next day that she had died - and her voice began to fail her. She was twice admitted to rehab and declared herself drug-free in 2010 but returned to rehab in May 2011. Her 2009 comeback album 'I Look To You' was positively received and sold well, but promotional performances were still marred by her weakened voice. Her final acting performance was in [Sparkle (2012)](/title/tt1876451/?ls) (a remake of the 1976 movie, [Sparkle (1976)](/title/tt0075249/?ls)), released after her death.

At that time both Keith Richards and Mick Jagger had individual ambitions, and applied their untamed creativity in various projects outside the Stones. Keith released his own single. In 1974 Ron Wood had replaced Mick Taylor on guitar and Keith and Ron both played lead guitars. During the decade Keith Richards had a family crisis on his hands, and suffered through emotional pain and drug abuse, albeit it didn't stop him from being himself. In 1980 the group released "Emotional Rescue" which Keith Richards didn't care for, and the group didn't even tour to promote the album. In 1981 with the release of 'Tattoo You', the group went on a major world tour filling stadiums in the US and in Europe. In 1983 the Stones recorded the album "Undercover" at the Compass Point in Nassau and during this time Mick and Keith were having arguments over rights of the group. After having created tens of albums and over a hundred popular songs together, their legendary song-writing partnership was undergoing the most painful test: the bitter rivalry between two enormously talented and equally ambitious superstars. #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: * Music Artist * Actor * Composer [Michael Jackson: Thriller (1983)](/title/tt0088263/?ref%5F=ls%5Fknf%5F11) Michael Joseph Jackson was born on August 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana, and entertained audiences nearly his entire life. His father, [Joe Jackson](/name/nm1129499/?ls) (no relation to [Joe Jackson](/name/nm0413690/?ls), also a musician), had been a guitarist, but was forced to give up his musical ambitions following his marriage to Michael's mother [Katherine Jackson](/name/nm1808277/?ls) (née Katherine Esther Scruse). Together, they prodded their growing family's musical interests at home. By the early 1960s, the older boys Jackie, Tito and Jermaine had begun performing around the city; by 1964, Michael and Marlon had joined in. A musical prodigy, Michael's singing and dancing talents were amazingly mature, and he soon became the dominant voice and focus of the [Jackson 5](/name/nm1917778/?ls). An opening act for such soul groups as the O-Jays and [James Brown](/name/nm0113768/?ls), it was [Gladys Knight](/name/nm0460912/?ls) (not [Diana Ross](/name/nm0005384/?ls)) who officially brought the group to [Berry Gordy](/name/nm0330700/?ls)'s attention, and by 1969, the boys were producing back-to-back chart-busting hits as Motown artists ("I Want You Back," "ABC," "Never Can Say Goodbye," "Got to Be There," etc.). As a product of the 1970s, the boys emerged as one of the most accomplished black pop / soul vocal groups in music history, successfully evolving from a group like [The Temptations](/name/nm1100552/?ls) to a disco phenomenon. #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: The Rolling Stones have released 55 albums of original work and compilations, and sold over 200 million records word-wide during their career spanning over 45 years. "The Stones" played in all kinds of spaces from small clubs to big stadium arenas. In 2007 they even rocked the Tsar's Winter Palace with fifty thousand fans in St. Petersburg, Russia, where the communist revolution took place. They gave more large-scale shows internationally than any other existing band in the world, culminating in their 2005-2007 "A Bigger Band" tour with 147 concerts, the highest grossing tour of all time with $559 million earned.

It called for a renunciation of violence, a sentiment that resonated greatly with the people of Ireland. Throughout the 1980s, the band used this song to campaign against the Irish Republican Army's (IRA) efforts to raise money to fuel continued armed conflict. The IRA sent a threat to U2 that if they continued their campaign, they would be kidnapped. The band continued anyway. The band's 1984 album "Unforgettable Fire" was named after paintings made by the survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs. The album's songs "Pride" and "MLK" were both tributes to the modern-day leader they most admire,[Martin Luther King](/name/nm0455052/?ls). Another song, "Bad", was about heroin addiction, which was a serious problem in their hometown of Dublin at that time. U2 were major participants in the historic and seminal "Live Aid" concert of 1985, which raised funds for relief from a severe drought in Ethiopia. The band was seen by many of the 1.5 billion people who viewed the concert on live television, and Bono's unscripted leap into the crowd captured the imagination of all. The more than 75 performing groups raised some $250 million for the charity. In the months following the concert, U2's record sales skyrocketed and have never come back down. In 1986, the band headlined a promotional tour to support Amnesty International, and the effort reportedly tripled the organization's membership. In the 1990s, the band's music and concerts mocked the excesses of commercialism. Some critics failed to understand that Bono's exaggerated on-stage personas during the "Zoo TV" tour were parodies, and thus concluded that the band had given in to what they in fact were criticizing. In the early 2000s, U2 shifted from stadium extravaganzas to performing in smaller arenas where they were closer to their audiences. In 2004, the band teamed up with iPod for an innovative promotional campaign. #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: Bruce Hornsby was born on 23 November 1954 in Williamsburg, Virginia, USA.

On September 7, 2011, Rhymes received six nominations for the BET Hip Hop Awards, held on October 11, 2011. On October 24, 2006, Rhymes appeared at Manhattan Criminal Court as the district attorney's office attempted to amend previous charges against him to include weapons possession for a machete found in his car. The judge refused to add the charge and adjourned the case. On February 20, 2007, Rhymes refused a plea deal offered by the prosecutor's office for the assault of his former driver, Edward Hatchett. The deal would have entailed six months in jail and pleading guilty to two assaults, the attack on Hatchett, and the attack on the former fan. The dispute with Hatchett is believed to have originated over back pay Hatchett felt he was owed. Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Becki Rowe offered Busta another option, pleading guilty to third-degree assault. The conditions of the proposed sentence would include five days of community service, two weeks of youth lectures and six months of anger management classes, as well as three years of probation. On May 3, 2007, Rhymes was arrested in Manhattan for driving without a license and for driving while impaired. On March 18, 2008, a judge in New York City sentenced Rhymes to three years probation, 10 days community service, $1250 in fines (plus court costs), and to enroll in a drunken driving program.

The first single that confirmed the group as a mainstream success was "Strange Brew", which went to #17 in the UK. After a hectic worldwide tour, their second album "Disreali Gears" was released and became an enormous worldwide hit, rising to UK #5 and US #4\. The album's success r4esulted in one of its tracks, "Sunshine Of Your Love", a hit in the US, going to #36\. In February 1968 Cream set out on a six-month US tour, the longest time that a British band ad ever been in America. The tour took in hundreds of theaters, arenas and stadiums, but in April 1968 the band was exhausted and decided to take a short break from touring. However, during their break disaster struck. While Cream was in America Eric had given an interview to the magazine "Rolling Stone" which had Eric the editor make critical points about his guitar playing. This led to an eruption within the band, which was the beginning of the end. Despite this setback, the band's US tour carried on until June, during which they had been recording their most popular project, "Wheels Of Fire", a double album that was released in August 1968; the live album shot to UK #3 and the studio effort to UK #7, but both went directly to US #1 for four weeks. Despite the fact that the band had sold so many records, had sold out nearly every concert, had made millions and even managed to boost "Sunshine Of Your Love" to hit US #5 and UK #25, they decided that after a farewell tour of America Cream would split. The band toured North America in October, played two concerts at the Royal Albert Hall in London in November and then Cream was no more - as Clapton explained, "The Cream has lost direction." #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: The Beatles created over 240 songs, they recorded many singles and albums, made films and TV shows. Thousands of memorable pictures popularized their image. In their evolution from beginners to the leaders of entertainment, they learned from many world cultures, absorbed from various styles, and created their own. Their cross-style compositions covered a range of influences from English folk ballads to Indian raga; absorbing from[Johann Sebastian Bach](/name/nm0001925/?ls),[Ludwig van Beethoven](/name/nm0002727/?ls),[Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky](/name/nm0006318/?ls),[Karlheinz Stockhausen](/name/nm0830838/?ls), Elvis Presley, Everly Brothers, Little Richard, and others. The songwriting and performing talents of Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, fused in the Beatles' music. Lennon and McCartney initiated changes in music publishing industry by breaking the Tin Pan Alley monopoly of songwriting. Their legacy became possible due to highly professional work by Brian Epstein and George Martin. In 1994 three surviving members reunited and produced Lennon's previously unknown song 'Free as a Bird'. It was preserved by Yoko Ono on a tape recording made by Lennon in 1977\. The song was re-arranged and re-mixed with the voices of three surviving members. The Beatles Anthology TV documentary was watched by 420 million people in 1995. The Beatles represent the collective consciousness of several generations. Millions of viewers and listeners across the universe became conditioned to the sounds and images of The Beatles. Their influence on the modern world never stopped. Numbers may only show the tip of the iceberg (record sales, shows admissions, top hits, etc.). As image-makers and role models they pushed boundaries in lifestyle and business, affecting customers behavior and consumption beyond the entertainment industry by turning all life into entertainment. A brilliant blend of music and lyrics in their songs made influence on many minds by carrying messages like: give peace a chance and people working it out. A message more powerful than political control, it broke through second and third world censorship and regulations and set many millions free. #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: In the winter of 1969 Eric began jamming with former[Traffic](/name/nm0870605/?ls) front man[Steve Winwood](/name/nm0005566/?ls), with Ginger Baker also joining in Eric's mansion in Surrey.

In June 1969, after the band finished a recording session for their first and only album, they made their live debut in Hyde Park to a crowd of over 200,000 fans. Despite the fact that Baker and Grech felt that the concert was a triumph, Clapton and Winwood, however, were more or less convinced that Blind Faith had blown it first time round. However, despite their feelings, Blind Faith set out on a summer sellout tour of the US, playing in arenas and stadiums all over the country. The tour itself earned the band a fortune, but the band members were convinced that the music itself was unsatisfying. After the tour was over their only album, "Blind Faith", was released, and it topped the charts worldwide.

[U2](/name/nm1277752/?ls) has won 22 Grammy Awards to date, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005\. Lauded by fans and critics as an outstanding performer and songwriter, Bono has also been praised by world leaders as an accomplished activist due to his powers of persuasion and knowledge of the issues. He travels extensively to give speeches and lobby politicians. Bono's career as a socially conscious musician has been shaped by childhood experiences in Ireland as well as volunteer work in Africa and South America. He married his childhood sweetheart[Ali Hewson](/name/nm1893224/?ls) in 1982, and actress[Eve Hewson](/name/nm2016723/?ls) is among their children. An accomplished activist in her own right, Ali Hewson once declined an invitation to run for President of Ireland because her husband "would not move to a smaller house". They live in Dublin with their four children: Jordan, Memphis Eve, Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Q and John Abraham. Bono was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2003 for his successful efforts to relieve third world debt and promote AIDS awareness in Africa. He received the rank of Chevalier dans I'Ordre de la Legion d'Honneur (Knight in the Order of the Legion of Honor) from French President [Jacques Chirac](/name/nm0158105/?ls) on February 28, 2003. 15\.

Their first two albums, "Two Virgins" and "Life With The Lions", were experimental and flops by Beatles standards, while their "Wedding Album" was almost a vanity work, but their live album "Live Peace In Toronto" became a Top Ten hit, at the end of the 1960s. In the early 1970s John and Yoko continued to record together, making television appearances and performing at charity concerts. After the release of John's biggest hit, "Imagine", they moved to the US, where John was nearly deported because of his political views (a late-'60s conviction for possession of hashish in the U.K. was the excuse given by the government), but after a four-year legal battle he won the right to stay. In the midst of this, John and Yoko separated for over a year; John lived in Los Angeles with personal assistant [May Pang](/name/nm0659398/?ls), while Yoko dated guitarist [David Spinozza](/name/nm0819001/?ls). When John made a guest appearance at [Elton John](/name/nm0005056/?ls)'s Thanksgiving 1974 concert, Yoko was in the audience, and surprised John backstage. They reconciled in early 1975, and Yoko soon became pregnant. After the birth of their son [Sean Lennon](/name/nm0005141/?ls), John settled into the roles of "househusband" and full-time daddy, while Yoko became his business manager; both appeared happy in their new life together. #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: U2 continues their work for charity and social action. They promoted the Northern Ireland Peace Accords, raised money for the survivors of the Omagh bombing, played in devastated Sarajevo following the war there, helped bolster the shaky economy of New York City by playing there following the September 11 terrorist attacks, participated in the Live 8 series of concerts to relieve Third World debt, and continue to promote the Make Poverty History campaign. Bono has become prominent in efforts to end poverty and seek relief from AIDS and promote trade for Africa. He has become quite celebrated for these efforts apart from his music and he often finds himself publicly hobnobbing with presidents and finance ministers to promote these charitable ends. U2 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005\. By that year, they had won 22 Grammy awards, a historic record surpassed only by [Stevie Wonder](/name/nm0005567/?ls). 1\.

For most of their history the band consisted of [Sting](/name/nm0001776/?ls) (lead vocals, bass guitar, primary songwriter), Andy Summers (guitar) and Stewart Copeland (drums, percussion). The Police became globally popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s and are generally regarded as one of the first new-wave groups to achieve mainstream success, playing a style of rock influenced by punk, reggae, and jazz. They are also considered one of the leaders of the Second British Invasion of the United States. They disbanded in 1986, but reunited in early 2007 for a one-off world tour that ended in August 2008. 5\. The Police - "Every Breath You Take" (1983) \[Synchronicity\] * [6\.

His real father was a Canadian pilot but he didn't find that out until he was 53\. When he was 2 his mother felt she was unable to look after him, so Eric then went to live with his grandparents. When he was 14 he took up the guitar, having been influenced by blues artists such as B.B King, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters and[John Lee Hooker](/name/nm0393630/?ls). #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: In 1984, he went on to record solo albums, and holds a reputation as one of the most literate songwriters and talented musicians in the world. He has also delved into acting, having starred in such films as [Quadrophenia (1979)](/title/tt0079766/?ls), [Radio On (1979)](/title/tt0079773/?ls), [Plenty (1985)](/title/tt0089816/?ls), [Julia and Julia (1987)](/title/tt0093092/?ls) (aka Julia and Julia), [Dune (1984)](/title/tt0087182/?ls), [Bring on the Night (1985)](/title/tt0088855/?ls) (a documentary about the formation of his Blue Turtles jazz group), most recently, [Gentlemen Don't Eat Poets (1995)](/title/tt0113224/?ls), where he plays a bisexual, conniving butler. He received an honorary Doctorate of Music degree from Northumbria University in October 1992, and from Berklee College of Music in May 1994\. He plays guitar, bass guitar, mandolin, piano, harmonica, saxophone and pan-flute, and he gave a name to his bass (Brian). Sting is married to film producer [Trudie Styler](/name/nm0836548/?ls), and has six children with Trudie and ex-wife, actress [Frances Tomelty](/name/nm0866626/?ls). Sting owns a Jacobian castle in Wiltshire, which he calls "Lake House", where he records his albums, as well as a place in London, an apartment in New York, a place on the beach in Malibu, California, and a Renaissance Florentine Villa called "Palagio" in Figline Valdarno, Tuscany, Italy. Along with his wife Trudie and a Brazilian Indian, he started the Rainforest Foundation in 1989 to help save rainforests. 19\. Sting - "Fields of Gold" (1993) \[Ten Summoner's Tales\] #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: Solo success for Michael was inevitable, and by the 1980s, he had become infinitely more popular than his brotherly group. Record sales consistently orbited, culminating in the biggest-selling album of all time, "Thriller" in 1982\. A TV natural, he ventured rather uneasily into films, such as playing the Scarecrow in [The Wiz (1978)](/title/tt0078504/?ls), but had much better luck with elaborate music videos. In the 1990s, the downside as an 1980s pop phenomenon began to rear itself. Michael grew terribly child-like and introverted by his peerless celebrity. A rather timorous, androgynous figure to begin with, his physical appearance began to change drastically, and his behavior grew alarmingly bizarre, making him a consistent target for scandal-making, despite his numerous charitable acts. Two brief marriages -- one to [Elvis Presley](/name/nm0000062/?ls)'s daughter [Lisa Marie Presley](/name/nm1070086/?ls) \-- were forged and two children produced by his second wife during that time, but the purposes behind them appeared image-oriented. Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009 in Los Angeles, California. His passion and artistry as a singer, dancer, writer and businessman were unparalleled, and it is these prodigious talents that will ultimately prevail over the extremely negative aspects of his troubled adult life. 11\.

They consist of vocalist and pianist Chris Martin, guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman, drummer Will Champion and creative director Phil Harvey. They met at University College London and began playing music together from 1996 to 1998, first calling themselves Pectoralz and then Starfish. After independently releasing an extended play, Safety (1998), the band signed with Parlophone in 1999\. Their debut album, Parachutes (2000), included their breakthrough single "Yellow" and received a Brit Award for British Album of the Year, a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album and a Mercury Prize nomination. Their second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002), won the same accolades and included the singles "The Scientist" and "Clocks", with the latter winning a Grammy Award for Record of the Year. Troubled production of the band's third album, X&Y (2005), saw them explore new musical territory with their fourth album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008); both were the best-selling albums of the year worldwide in 2005 and 2008 respectively, topping the charts in over 30 countries. Viva la Vida also won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album and the band's first Album of the Year nomination, while its title track became the first single by a British group to top the charts in both the United Kingdom and United States in the 21st century. #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: At first the Beatles were rejected by[Dick Clark](/name/nm0163863/?ls) after testing a recording of their song on his show. Then[Brian Epstein](/name/nm0258432/?ls) approached Ed Sullivan, who discussed them with Walter Cronkite after seeing them on his CBS Evening News in 1963\. Brian Epstein also managed to get their music played by influential radio stations in Washington and New York. The US consumer reaction was peaking, a single 'I Want to Hold Your Hand' was released in December 1963 by the Capitol Records. Their sensational tour in the USA began with three TV shows at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York, in February of 1964\. After that The Beatles endured several years of extremely intensive recording, filming, and touring. They stopped public performances after 1966, but continued their recording contracts. By 1985 The Beatles had sold over one billion records. Music became their ticket to ride around the world. Beatlemania never really ended since its initiation. It still lives as a movable feast in many hearts and minds, as a sweet memory of youth, when all you need is love and a little help from a friend to be happy. The Beatles' first two feature films, A Hard Day's Night (1964) and Help (1965), were made in collaboration with an American director,[Richard Lester](/name/nm0504513/?ls). Their humorous, ironic, and farcical film performances are reminiscent of the Marx Brothers' comedies. Later The Beatles moved into the area of psychedelic innovations with the animated film Yellow Submarine (1966). Their surrealistic TV movie The Magical Mystery Tour (1967) became the cause for the first major criticism of their work in the British press. Their film music was also released as studio albums. Original music by The Beatles as well as re-makes of their songs has been also used, often uncredited, in music scores of feature films and documentaries. Some of The Beatles concert and studio performances were filmed on several occasions and were later edited and released after the band's dissolution. In 1999 the remastered and remixed film[The Beatles Yellow Submarine Adventure (2000)](/title/tt0233305/?ls)delighted a younger audience with incredible animation and songs. #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: ### More to explore ### Feedback [Tell us what you think about this feature.](https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/general-information/getsatisfaction-community-access-you-re-about-to-leave-imdb-com/GP4FF3REXES9AR3P?ref%5F=cons%5Fls%5Flst%5Ffdbk)[Report this list](https://help.imdb.com/contact?deepLink=list%5Freport&disableLoginPopup=true&list=ls089279403&ref%5F=ttls%5Frpt) ### Recently viewed Clear all [The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers](/title/tt0167261/?ref%5F=ls%5Frvi%5Ftt%5Ft%5F1) [Forrest Gump](/title/tt0109830/?ref%5F=ls%5Frvi%5Ftt%5Ft%5F2) [The Good, the Bad and the Ugly](/title/tt0060196/?ref%5F=ls%5Frvi%5Ftt%5Ft%5F3) [The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring](/title/tt0120737/?ref%5F=ls%5Frvi%5Ftt%5Ft%5F4) [Pulp Fiction](/title/tt0110912/?ref%5F=ls%5Frvi%5Ftt%5Ft%5F5) [Schindler's List](/title/tt0108052/?ref%5F=ls%5Frvi%5Ftt%5Ft%5F6) [The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King](/title/tt0167260/?ref%5F=ls%5Frvi%5Ftt%5Ft%5F7) [12 Angry Men](/title/tt0050083/?ref%5F=ls%5Frvi%5Ftt%5Ft%5F8) [The Godfather Part II](/title/tt0071562/?ref%5F=ls%5Frvi%5Ftt%5Ft%5F9) #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: QEHBqBvMG0CAQAwaAYJKoZIhvcNAQcBMB4GCWCGSAFlAwQBLjARBAxPtBKVIwHpkQPeCNQCARCAO71nxIpAxpJgOXCz1SH16jA03JZoG4N1dcqMzGdrFyggrSUGGg%5FGATS6JH3eby6LFTWEIEuIvmwvUgi8AgAAAAAMAAAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK3GddRAQ3cizfIdYYVAZR7%5F%5F%5F%5F%5FAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQAAAHrVih-GUwu7CRny9fFhOzSLmYmIA3E%5FmJ03qXwBqmvoKqaRu7ViKvTRWlUWha8ILVtEJS7D4SDXAC8LrbKx7woS9ukjHHrMUs32BvMqRELcO5WzZevoUpK-FvG8T%5FqdazzmflWr6RZzASHgntEI66SJ9ezovglJzNX9cdGNfLXQ0-oRBHkGkyAoLBMAZzBlAjAU8MQWAMoLwrn2Hs1Roii9Ujka0ytffPP0ssgIWiKzyzGZ2S3kSymlh #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: The Rolling Stones are the legendary British rock band known for many popular hits, such as Paint it Black, Lady Jane, Ruby Tuesday, and (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction. Almost everyone who attended their shows is quick to comment on their ability to start you up and shake your hips. Their song "Satisfaction" (1965) was composed by[Keith Richards](/name/nm0724189/?ls) in his sleep, and with the addition of provocative lyrics by[Mick Jagger](/name/nm0001396/?ls) it became the greatest hit and their calling card on each and every show. In 1966, after [The Beatles](/name/nm1397313/?ls) stopped giving live performances, [The Rolling Stones](/name/nm1213869/?ls)took over as the unofficial "biggest touring band in the world" for the next few years. During 1966-1969 they toured the world, and constantly updated their song-list with many great hits like "Lets Spend the night together" (1967), "Sympathy for the Devil" (1968) and "Honky tonk woman" (1969). The incredible international success of the Stones came with a sad side, caused by Brian's drug and alcohol abuse that impaired his speech and appearance, so the band-mates had to replace him. In July 1969, Brian Jones died of drowning in his swimming pool while having signs of drug overdose. Upon Richards's and Jagger's approval, guitarist [Mick Taylor](/name/nm0852909/?ls) took Brian's place. Brian's death at age 27 made him one of the first members of the infamous "27 Club" of rock stars who died at that age. Although Brian's estrangement from his band-mates, and his numerous arrests were caused by his personal problems with drugs, both Richards and Jagger were blamed at the time for Brian's death. The loss of one of their founding members was a painful moment for the Stones. However, at the end of the 1960s their creativity reached the new highs. Their albums "Beggars Banquet" (1968) and "Sticky Fingers" (1971) were among the most popular albums they ever made, having such hits as "Wild Horses" and "Brown Sugar." #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: Menu [](/?ref%5F=nv%5Fhome) Movies [Release Calendar](/calendar/?ref%5F=nv%5Fmv%5Fcal)[Top 250 Movies](/chart/top/?ref%5F=nv%5Fmv%5F250)[Most Popular Movies](/chart/moviemeter/?ref%5F=nv%5Fmv%5Fmpm)[Browse Movies by Genre](/feature/genre/?ref%5F=nv%5Fch%5Fgr)[Top Box Office](/chart/boxoffice/?ref%5F=nv%5Fch%5Fcht)[Showtimes & Tickets](/showtimes/?ref%5F=nv%5Fmv%5Fsh)[Movie News](/news/movie/?ref%5F=nv%5Fnw%5Fmv)[India Movie Spotlight](/india/toprated/?ref%5F=nv%5Fmv%5Fin) TV Shows [What's on TV & Streaming](/whats-on-tv/?ref%5F=nv%5Ftv%5Fontv)[Top 250 TV Shows](/chart/toptv/?ref%5F=nv%5Ftvv%5F250)[Most Popular TV Shows](/chart/tvmeter/?ref%5F=nv%5Ftvv%5Fmptv)[Browse TV Shows by Genre](/feature/genre/)[TV News](/news/tv/?ref%5F=nv%5Fnw%5Ftv) Watch [What to Watch](/what-to-watch/?ref%5F=nv%5Fwatch)[Latest Trailers](/trailers/?ref%5F=nv%5Fmv%5Ftr)[IMDb Originals](/originals/?ref%5F=nv%5Fsf%5Fori)[IMDb Picks](/imdbpicks/?ref%5F=nv%5Fpi)[IMDb Spotlight](/spotlight/?ref%5F=nv%5Fvi%5Fcsegspot)[IMDb Podcasts](/search/title/?title%5Ftype=podcastSeries&ref%5F=nv%5Fpod) Awards & Events #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: In early performances the Beatles included popular songs from the 40s and 50s. They played rock-n-roll and R&B-based pop songs while they gradually worked on developing a style of their own. Their mixture of rock-n-roll, skiffle, blues, country, soul, and a simplified version of 1930s jazz resulted in several multi-genre and cross-style sounding songs. They admitted their interest in the music of Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Little Richard and other entertainers of the 40s, 50s and early 60s. Beatles' distinctive vocals were sometimes reminiscent of the Everly Brothers' tight harmonies. By 1965 their style absorbed ethnic music influences from India and other Oriental cultures, and later expanded into psychedelic experiments and classical-sounding compositions. Their creative search covered a range of styles from jazz and rock to a cosmopolitan cross-cultural and cross-genre compositions. Initially the Beatles were a guitars and drums band. In the course of their career every member became a multi-instrumentalist. George Harrison played the lead guitar and also introduced such exotic instruments as ukulele, Indian sitars, flutes, tabla, darbouka, and tampur drums. John Lennon played a variety of guitars, keyboards, harmonicas and horns. Paul McCartney played bass guitar, acoustic and electric guitars, piano and keyboards, as well as over 40 other musical instruments. The Beatles were the first popular band that used a classical touch of strings and keyboard instruments; their producer[George Martin](/name/nm0552326/?ls) scored Baroque orchestrations in several songs, such as Yesterday, Eleanor Rigby, In My Life, and a full orchestra in Sgt. Pepper. John Lennon and Paul McCartney played piano in many of their songs. Their jamming on a piano together led to creation of their best-selling hit I Want to Hold Your Hand in 1963. #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: John Lennon was experimenting with psychedelic poetry and art. His creativity was very unique and innovative. Lennon wrote Come Together, Girl, Revolution, Strawberry Fields and many other Beatles' hits. An out-of-context reprinting of Lennon's remarks on the Beatlemania phenomenon caused problems in the media. His comparison of Beatles' popularity to that of Jesus Christ was used to attack them publicly, causing cancellations of their performances and even burning of their records. Lennon had to apologize several times in press and on TV, including at a Chicago press conference. In 1967 John Lennon met Japanese artist [Yoko Ono](/name/nm0648780/?ls), whom he later married. George Harrison was the lead guitar player and also took sitar lessons from [Ravi Shankar](/name/nm0788170/?ls). Harrison had his own inner light of creativity and spirituality, he wrote Something, Taxman, I me mine, and other hits. Ringo Starr sang 'Yellow Submarine' and a few other songs. He has made a film career and also toured with his All Stars Band and released several solo albums. His 1973 release "Ringo" was the last album to feature all four living Beatles, although not on the same song. #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: * [1\.

The three members who strongly identified themselves as Christians (all except Clayton) decided to pursue and promote the band's career in a manner that would be consistent with their religious beliefs, which are heavy on social action.

She began singing in the choir at her church, The New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, as a young child and by the age of 15 was singing backing vocals professionally with her mother on [Chaka Khan](/name/nm0451193/?ls)'s 1978 hit, 'I'm Every Woman'. She went on to provide backing vocals for Lou Rawls, Jermaine Jackson and her own mother and worked briefly as a model, appearing on the cover of 'Seventeen' magazine in 1981. She began working as a featured vocalist for the New York-based funk band Material and it was the quality of her vocal work with them that attracted the attention of the major record labels, including Arista with whom she signed in 1983 and where she stayed for the rest of her career. Her debut album, 'Whitney Houston', was released in 1985 and became the biggest-selling album by a debut artist. Several hit singles, including 'Saving All My Love For You', 'How Will I Know', 'You Give Good Love', and 'The Greatest Love of All', were released from the album, setting her up for a Beatles-beating seven consecutive US number ones. The album itself sold 3 million copies in its first year in the US and went on to sell 25 million worldwide, winning her the first of her six Grammies. #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: He has released nine studio albums, with the first being the 1996 platinum-selling album The Coming.

Rhymes later graduated from Uniondale High School in Long Island in 1990. #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: [Brian Epstein](/name/nm0258432/?ls) was invited to be the manager of the Beatles in November 1961\. His diplomatic way of dealing with the Beatles and with their previous manager resulted in a December 10, 1961, meeting, where it was decided that Epstein would manage the band. A 5-year management contract was signed by four members at then-drummer Pete Best's home on January 24, 1962\. Epstein did not put his signature on it, giving the musicians the freedom of choice. At that time McCartney and Harrison were under 21, so the paper wasn't technically legal. None of them realized this and it did not matter to them. What mattered was their genuine trust in Epstein. He changed their early image for the good. Brian Epstein made them wear suits and ties, classic shoes, and newer haircuts. They were advised to update their manners on stage and quit eating and drinking in public.[Brian Epstein](/name/nm0258432/?ls) worked hard on both the Beatles' image and public relations. He improved their image enough to make them accepted by the conservative media. Most if not all of their communication off-stage was managed by Brian Epstein. #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: * [Help](https://help.imdb.com/imdb) * [Site Index](https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/general-information/imdb-site-index/GNCX7BHNSPBTFALQ#so) * [IMDbPro](https://pro.imdb.com?ref%5F=cons%5Ftf%5Fpro&rf=cons%5Ftf%5Fpro) * [Box Office Mojo](https://www.boxofficemojo.com) * [License IMDb Data](https://developer.imdb.com/) * [Press Room](https://www.imdb.com/pressroom/?ref%5F=ft%5Fpr) * [Advertising](https://advertising.amazon.com/resources/ad-specs/imdb/) * [Jobs](https://www.amazon.jobs/en/teams/imdb) * [Conditions of Use](/conditions/?ref%5F=ft%5Fcou) * [Privacy Policy](/privacy/?ref%5F=ft%5Fpvc) * [](/privacy/redirect/?ref%5F=ft%5Fredir)[Your Ads Privacy Choices](/privacy/redirect/?ref%5F=ft%5Fredir) IMDb, an Amazon company © 1990-2024 by IMDb.com, Inc. #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: All four members were charismatic and individually talented artists, they sparked each other from the beginning. Eventually they made a much better group effort under the thorough management by[Brian Epstein](/name/nm0258432/?ls). His coaching helped consolidate their talents and mutual stimulation into beautiful teamwork. Paul McCartney had the privilege of a better musical education, having studied classical piano and guitar in his childhood. He progressed as a lead vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, as well as a singer-songwriter. McCartney wrote more songs for the Beatles than other members of the band. His songs Yesterday, Eleanor Rigby, Blackbird, When I'm 64, Let It Be are among the Beatles' best hits. Yesterday is considered the most-covered song in history with over three thousand versions of it recorded by various artists. McCartney accepted the agreement that was offered by John Lennon in 1957, about the 50/50 authorship of every song written by either one of them. Most of The Beatles' songs are formally credited to both names, regardless of the fact that many of the songs were written individually. On June 25, 1967, The Beatles made history becoming the first band globally transmitted on TV to an estimated 400 million people worldwide. The Beatles were a segment in the first-ever worldwide satellite hook-up and their new song "All You Need Is Love" was broadcast live during the show. Two months later The Beatles lost their creative manager [Brian Epstein](/name/nm0258432/?ls), whose talent for problem-solving was unmatched. "That was it, the beginning of the end", said Lennon. Evolution of each member's creativity and musicianship also led to individual career ambitions. #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: The Beatles were an English rock band that became arguably the most successful act of the 20th century. They contributed to music, film, literature, art, and fashion, made a continuous impact on popular culture and the lifestyle of several generations. Their songs and images carrying powerful ideas of love, peace, help, and imagination evoked creativity and liberation that outperformed the rusty Soviet propaganda and contributed to breaking walls in the minds of millions, thus making impact on human history. In July of 1957, in Liverpool,[Paul McCartney](/name/nm0005200/?ls) met[John Lennon](/name/nm0006168/?ls). Both were teenagers. Paul impressed John with his mastery of acoustic guitar, and was invited to join Lennon's group, The Quarrymen.[George Harrison](/name/nm0365600/?ls) joined them in February of 1958\. In 1959 they played regular gigs at a club called The Casbah. They were joined by vocalist Stuart Sutcliffe, and by drummer Peter Best, whose mother owned The Casbah club. Early incarnations of the band included The Quarrymen, Johnny & the Moon Dogs, and The Silver Beetles. John Lennon dreamed up the band's final name, The Beatles, a mix of beat with beetle. In 1960 The Beatles toured in Hamburg, Germany. There they were joined by[Ringo Starr](/name/nm0823592/?ls), who previously played with Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. In Hamburg, The Beatles made their first studio work as a backing band for singer Tony Sheridan's recordings for the German Polydor label, however, in the credits the band's name was changed to The Beat Brothers. From February 1961 to August 1963, The Beatles played a regular gig at the Cavern. They were paid five pounds for their first show, rising to three hundred pounds per show in 1963\. In two and a half years The Beatles gave 262 shows at the Cavern in Liverpool. #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: [Steve Jobs](/name/nm0423418/?ls), being a big fan of[Paul McCartney](/name/nm0005200/?ls) and The Beatles, referred to them on many occasions and also was interviewed on a showing of a Paul McCartney concert. When asked about his business model, Steve Jobs replied: My model for business is The Beatles: They were four guys that kept each other's negative tendencies in check; they balanced each other. And the total was greater than the sum of the parts. Great things in business are never done by one person, they are done by a team of people. The Beatles made impact on human history, because their influence has been liberating for generations of nowhere men living in misery beyond the Iron Curtain. Something in their songs and images appealed to everybody who wanted to become free as a bird. Their songs carrying powerful ideas of real love, peace, help, and imagination evoked creativity that outperformed the rusty Soviet propaganda and contributed to breaking chains and walls in the minds of millions. The Beatles expressed themselves in beautiful and liberating words of love, happiness, freedom, and revolution, and carried those messages to people across the universe. Their songs and images helped many freedom-loving people to come together for revolutions in Prague and Warsaw, Beijing and Bucharest, Berlin and Moscow. The Beatles has been an inspiration for those who take the long and winding road to freedom. Even after The Beatles had gone, the individual members continued to spread their message; from the concert for Bangladesh by George Harrison and Ringo Starr in 1971, to 2003 "Back in USSR" concert by Paul McCartney on the Red Square in Moscow, and his 2004 show near the Tsar's Winter Palace in St. Petersburg where the Communist Revolution took place, just imagine. In 2005 the Entertainment magazine poll named The Beatles the most iconic entertainers of the 20th Century. In July of 2006, the guitar on which Paul McCartney played his first chords and impressed John Lennon, was sold at an auction for over $600,000. #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: Mick Jagger is the heart of "The Stones" and Keith Richards - the soul. The two had carried on their early image of unkempt youth, had survived ups and downs in their careers and personal lives, and remained the core of the band since they shared a flat with the late Brian Jones in London in 1962\. Two other remaining members are drummer Charlie Watts and guitarist Ron Wood. "The Stones" were part of the "British Invasion" in international culture during the 1960s, and has been extremely popular and famous for their 60s craze, hot stuff and sex drive. Since the 1970s they remained one of the biggest entertainment acts touring the world with a retinue of jet-set hangers-on. Their inimitable shows, no matter the best, or the worst, has been played with fire and emotion, giving their audiences the kind of music they do best - it's only rock'n roll. [Mick Jagger](/name/nm0001396/?ls) dropped out of college and his every move on-stage and off-stage seemed to signal a challenge to "respectable" standards. He never received a formal musical education, and even could not read music. However, he worked hard and emerged as the lead singer and songwriter in partnership with Richards, following the example of [John Lennon](/name/nm0006168/?ls) and[Paul McCartney](/name/nm0005200/?ls)'s songwriting for[The Beatles](/name/nm1397313/?ls). Outside of the Rolling Stones, Jagger released solo albums with his original songs, as well as his versions of such hits as 'Use Me' by songwriter [Bill Withers](/name/nm0936719/?ls). Jagger also starred in several films, such as[Freejack (1992)](/title/tt0104299/?ls),[Bent (1997)](/title/tt0118698/?ls), and[The Man from Elysian Fields (2001)](/title/tt0265307/?ls). Mick Jagger fathered seven children from four women, donated to numerous school and charities, and was knighted by[Queen Elizabeth II](/name/nm0703070/?ls) at the Buckingham Palace in 2003. #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: John Winston (later Ono) Lennon was born on October 9, 1940, in Liverpool, England, to [Julia Lennon](/name/nm8373311/?ls) (née Stanley) and [Alfred Lennon](/name/nm8373295/?ls), a merchant seaman. He was raised by his mother's older sister [Mimi Smith](/name/nm5169970/?ls). In the mid-1950s, he formed his first band, [The Quarrymen](/name/nm6003599/?ls) (after Quarry Bank High School, which he attended) who, with the addition of [Paul McCartney](/name/nm0005200/?ls) and [George Harrison](/name/nm0365600/?ls), later became [The Beatles](/name/nm1397313/?ls). After some years of performing in Liverpool and Hamburg, Germany, "Beatlemania" erupted in England and Europe in 1963 after the release of their singles "Love Me Do" and "Please Please Me". That same year, John's first wife [Cynthia Lennon](/name/nm0502031/?ls) welcomed their only son [Julian Lennon](/name/nm0502049/?ls), named after John's mother. The next year the Beatles flew to America to appear on [The Ed Sullivan Show (1948)](/title/tt0040053/?ls) (aka The Ed Sullivan Show), and Beatlemania spread worldwide. [Queen Elizabeth II](/name/nm0703070/?ls) granted all four Beatles M.B.E. medals in 1965, for import revenues from their record sales; John returned his four years later, as part of an antiwar statement. John and the Beatles continued to tour and perform live until 1966, when protests over his calling the Beatles phenomenon "more popular than Jesus" and the frustrations of touring made the band decide to quit the road. They devoted themselves to studio work, recording and releasing albums such as "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", "Magical Mystery Tour" and the "White Album". Instead of appearing live, the band began making their own "pop clips" (an early term for music videos), which were featured on television programs of the time. #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: Awards & Events [Oscars](/oscars/?ref%5F=nv%5Fev%5Fcsegosc)[Emmys](/emmys/?ref%5F=nv%5Fev%5Fcsegemy)[TIFF](/toronto/?ref%5F=nv%5Fev%5Fcsegtiff)[Festival Season](/festival-central/?ref%5F=nv%5Fev%5Fcsegfest)[Hispanic Heritage Month](/spotlight/?ref%5F=nv%5Fev%5Fcseghhm)[STARmeter Awards](/starmeterawards/?ref%5F=nv%5Fev%5Fsma)[Awards Central](/awards-central/?ref%5F=nv%5Fev%5Fcsegawds)[All Events](/event/?ref%5F=nv%5Fev%5Fall) Celebs [Born Today](/feature/bornondate/?ref%5F=nv%5Fcel%5Fbrn)[Most Popular Celebs](/chart/starmeter/?ref%5F=nv%5Fcel%5Fm)[Celebrity News](/news/celebrity/?ref%5F=nv%5Fcel%5Fnw) Community [Help Center](https://help.imdb.com/imdb?ref%5F=cons%5Fnb%5Fhlp)[Contributor Zone](https://contribute.imdb.com/czone?ref%5F=nv%5Fcm%5Fcz)[Polls](/poll/?ref%5F=nv%5Fcm%5Fpl) [For Industry Professionals](https://pro.imdb.com?ref%5F=cons%5Fnb%5Fhm&rf=cons%5Fnb%5Fhm) * Language English (United States) [](/?ref%5F=nv%5Fhome) #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: In 1963, after he was chucked out of art college, he joined[Paul Samwell-Smith](/name/nm0760612/?ls), as he was in art school with [Keith Relf](/name/nm0718792/?ls). He stayed for about 18 months before beginning a stint with[John Mayall](/name/nm0562200/?ls)'s Bluesbreakers. Eric became known as "god", as he impressed the whole English music scene with his amazing guitar playing. After about a year Eric had had enough of impersonating his blues idols and decided to form a group of his own, so in 1966 he formed a band with bassist[Jack Bruce](/name/nm0115499/?ls) and drummer[Ginger Baker](/name/nm0048486/?ls) (who had the idea) that became known as [Cream](/name/nm2128881/?ls). This band was not a purist blues group but a hard-driving rock and blues trio. They first performed together at a jazz and blues festival in Surrey before signing a record contract. In November 1966 their debut single, "Wrapping Paper", hit UK #34, but their next single, "I Feel Free", made more of an impression, hitting UK #11 the following January. At the same time they released their debut album "Fresh Cream", which was a top-ten hit, going to UK #6 and went on to make US #39 later in the year. #################### File: www-imdb-com-list-ls089279403-58417.txt Page: 1 Context: [Keith Richards](/name/nm0724189/?ls), was a schoolmate of [Mick Jagger](/name/nm0001396/?ls) since the primary school.
