| | | | | Janet Jackson: Encyclopedia II - Rhythm and blues - Contemporary R&B The term R&B today defines a style of African-American music, originating after the demise of disco in 1980, that combines elements of soul music, funk music, pop music, and (after 1986) hip-hop in the form known as contemporary R&B. In this context only the abbreviation "R&B" is used, not the full expression.
Sometimes referred to as "urban contemporary" (the name of the radio format that plays hip-hop and R&B music) or "urban pop", contemporary R&B is distinguished by an slick, electronic record pro ...

Star Trek: Enterprise - The threat of cancellation.
Despite most critics agreeing on the strength of the third season and most episodes of the fourth season receiving near-unanimous praise, the series experienced a continual decline in its ratings. (See List of Star Trek: Enterprise episodes for the Nielsen Ratings.) This, along with the poor box office performance in 2002 of Star Trek: Nemesis, cast an uncertain light upon the future of the Star Trek franchise in general. While some placed blame on ...

Super Bowl XXXVIII - The Panthers go from 1-15 to the Super Bowl.
The Panthers' trip to the Super Bowl was a surprise to many sports writers and fans. One year after joining the league as an expansion team in 1995, they posted a 12-4 regular season record and advanced to the NFC Championship Game. But from 1997 onward, they suffered losing seasons until they finally hit a team low 1-15 record in 2001, winning only the first game of the regular season. After that year, head coach George Seifert resigned and was replaced by John Fox, former defensive coordinator for the New York Giants who h ...

Serving jail-time on bombing charges while pregnant with him, his mother faced a sentence of up to three years in prison.

Shakur said, "I never knew where my father was or who my father was for sure." His godfather, Geronimo Pratt, was also a high-ranking Panther. His step-father Mutulu was a drug dealer who, according to Shakur, was rarely pr ...

CBS - Early years.
CBS can trace its origins to the creation, in 1927 of the "United Independent Broadcasters" network. Begun by New York talent agent Arthur Judson, it went on the air in October of that year with 47 affiliates. The first year was a struggle, and United soon looked for additional investors; the Columbia Phonographic Manufacturing Company (also owners of Columbia Records), rescued the company in 1928, and as a result, the network was renamed "Columbia Phonographic Broadcasting System." Later in 19 ...

| | | | | | | | Janet Jackson: Encyclopedia II - Billie Jean - History As a song, Michael Jackson undertook the composition of "Billie Jean" quite personally, drawing upon actual circumstances. In about 1981, during a Jacksons tour, a woman known later to be a stalker had accused Jackson of not claiming the paternity of one of her fraternal twins. She went so far as to call herself "Billie Jean Jackson", and to claim she was married to the singer. The woman was later sent to an insane asylum. Later, in a 1996 interview, Jackson said that he had known a lot of figurative "Billie Jeans" who had been Jackson 5 groupies. "Every girl claimed that their child was related t ...

The show was picked up by ABC (becoming American Bandstand) on August 5, 1957 after some badgering from Clark to the network to put it on nationally, broadcasting daily (first live, then on kinescope when Clark went on tour with the singers) until 1963 and then airing weekly until 1989.
Charlie O'Donnell, then a very young Philadelphia radio DJ, landed his very first network announcing assignment on Bandstand, a job he would hold until the late-1960s.
