Sly & the Family Stone - Pre-history. The Stewart family was a deeply religious middle-class family from Dallas, Texas. K.C. and Alpha Stewart held the family together under the doctrines of the Church of God in Christ, and encouraged their musical expression.

Eldest sister Loretta was ...

Orange Coast College was formed in 1948 when Francis Albers, a local Costa Mesa resident, purchased a portion of the recently decomissioned Santa Ana Army Air Base, and using a crew of volunteers, turned the old military buildings into the college's first classrooms. The first campus building phase occurred in the late 1950s, when renowned architect Richard Neutra was brought in to re-design the campus. Leaving many of the original buildings intact, Neutra added several modernist structures including the strikingly minimalist Campus Theater ...

Their debut album, Everything Sucks, was an underground hit and led to a deal with Mojo Records, an indie label. Turn the Radio Off established the band in the underground music scene, and they began touring throughout the US. After the single "Sell Out" began breaking into the mainstream, including MTV, the album made an appearance on the charts. The ska revival was short-lived, however, and Why Do They Rock So Hard?

The video was directed by Brett Ratner, who also directed some of Carey's other videos including the previous "It's Like That". Initially, Carey had wanted Paul Hunter to direct, but he was apparently busy. Carey, a close friend of Ratner, was reluctant at first, as he focused on directing films, but after hearing a proposed treatment, the deal was approved. The video serves as the sequel and conclusion to the video for "It's Like That" (the two music videos were filmed simultaneously). In "It's Like That", Carey's character was seen at a party the night before her wedding, when a guest revealed himself as ...

Designed with a somber jazz-inspired tone, "What's Going On" addressed the political and social troubles of the world in a soulful, introspective way, contrasting to the more dramatic socially conscious records made by Sly & the Family Stone and The Temptations over the previous three years. The song originated from an idea by Four Tops member Renaldo "Obie" Benson, who, witnessing stressful conditions while on tour in Europe, began writing a song to express his feelings. Once back in the United States, Benson and Motown songwriter Al Cl ...

"What You Waiting For?" was co-written by Stefani and Linda Perry, and produced by Nellee Hooper. The lyrics describe how Stefani has conflicting feelings in the form of an inner dialogue with herself, with the more confident Stefani (who sings in a tough, strident tone) giving the nervous one (squeakier and higher) some tough love: "Take a chance 'cuz you might grow/ take a chance, you stupid ho". The nervous Stefani sings in the first person, while the confident one responds in the second person: "Naturally, I'm worried if I do it alone..." while the other responds, "Who really cares, ...

Talking Heads married punk rock sensibilities with poppy sounds, clipped funk, art school intellectualism, and later, world music.

Ten players compete in one season of The Big Break. Those ten players are found through a nationwide talent search, in which producers look for players with low handicaps, good swings, and good camera presence. Some players are professionals on mini-tours, or commoners who aspire to play golf professionally. When those ten golfers are found, they are then sent to a hotel to meet each other for the first time, although some show contestants probably already knew each through playing in past tournaments. After spending time getti ...

By mid-1991, No Doubt had been together as a touring band for about three and a half years. During that time their line-up had changed considerably, with co-founder John Spence having committed suicide two years earlier. Despite this, the band had managed to build a strong reputation in Orange County, California, and signed a record contract with Interscope Records. The band members (Tom Dumont, Tony Kanal, Eric Stefani, Gwen Stefani and Adrian Young) spent less than $13,000 in the process of recording their debut album, featuring bot ...

Williams and Hugo originally recorded an album for European release in 2001 using the same digital production techniques used on Neptunes productions. However, they decided that if N.E.R.D was to be different from the Neptunes it should sound different.

In Search Of... achieved moderate success in the US: the album reached number 59 on the Billboard 200; its first single, "Lapdance", reached the top 40 on th ...

Institute was formed in 2004 in the wake of a hiatus of lead singer Gavin Rossdale's other band, Bush. Rossdale formed Institute with Chris Traynor, who played guitar on Bush's last tour and is also a member of Helmet, after Bush agreed upon taking a break after their last album, Golden State. The two later enlisted the help of bassist Cache Tolman (of Rival Schools fame) and drummer Josh Freese. Freese was only enlisted temporarily, as the band needed a drummer for the recording of their first album, Distort Yourself. Rossdale later ...
