Roots.
I remember they did a funny miniseries called "Fresno" that centered around the raisin industry. It was supposed to be a spoof of prime-time soaps. I watched it all, but never cared for it. They reran it later with a laugh track, and that made it worse.

President Thomas Jefferson buys Louisiana from Napoleon, therefore increasing the size of the United States.

Hands down, I would have to say Reba McEntire's mangling of the Everly Brothers' "Cathy's Clown" has to be one of the worst cover versions anywhere! My parents were country music fans and whenever they heard her horrid version, they switched the station!

Boyz II Men--Song for Mama

I like Lesley Gore's "Sunshine, Lollipops & Rainbows." It was her shortest single, running just over 1½ minutes, and it was written by a young Marvin Hamlisch.

West Virginia musical legend Hasil Adkins has died.
Rock-a-billy artist Hasil Adkins diesApril 27, 2005 11:47 AM
MADISON, W.Va.
Rock-a-billy artist Hasil Adkins, a one-man band whose screaming vocals and freestyle approach to rhythm landed a cult following, has died.
He was 67.
Adkins' body was found yesterday at his Madison home, where he lived alone. The cause of death has not been determined but it does not appear suspicious.
Guitar, harmonica, drums, foot-rhythm instruments -- Adkins played them all.
Known to his fans as The Haze, Adkins struggled for decades to get noticed. In a 2002 interview, he said he mailed out thousands of tapes and records over a 30-year period while fishing for a record deal.
Adkins was the original star of Norton Records, a label built around the primal recordings he produced beginning in the Eisenhower era.
Adkins claimed to have written more than seven-thousand songs. He first emerged in the 1950s, only to disappear again. European fans kept the rock-a-billy rage alive, and when the Cramps did an early 1980s remake of "She Said," Adkins' records suddenly became hot again.
His other hits included "Poultry in Motion," "Chicken Walk," "The Hunch," "Chocolate Milk Honeymoon," and "Boo Boo The Cat."

"Rock & Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" from AC/DC's "Back in Black" is one of my all-time favorite album closers.

How about "Gonna Fly Now", the theme from "Rocky", by Bill Conte (or something like that). Or does that song actually have a few words in it?
I preferred Maynard Ferguson's version myself?
How about "Beatnik Fly" by Johnny & the Hurricanes?

My three favorite remakes?
Baby It's You--The Shirelles/Smith (late 1960's band fronted by Gayle McCormick)
When Will I Be Loved--Everly Brothers/Linda Ronstadt
You Better Run--The Young Rascals/Pat Benatar
Of course the three remakes are far better than the originals?

Here's a review of T. Rex's "Electric Warrior"?
Im not an angry person bashing any old music. Im a musician bashing this bullfunk. Seriously, with all the good reviews on this page, they must be hopped up on cocaine. Im a huge 1970's fan myself and this is out of control. Please spare your self the $40.00 or 17.00 and buy something else. Like good blues if your into blues. Cause this is irritating. Peace out you crack fiends

I'm part English, as my last name is the phonetic spelling of the British pronunciation of the occupation from which it's taken.
I'm part Scottish, as my mother's last name is the Scottish word for church.
I'm also part German, as there is someone with the last name of Holstein in my family tree.
I'm also part native American, so they say?

Also the actor Tab Hunter had a version of it too. It was the #1 song the day I was born. However, I prefer the Sonny James version myself...
