Before watching this documentary, I had no knowledge of the existence of the show called Soul Train. As someone who was born near the end of the show’s run on television, and as an Indian-American, I was never exposed to Soul Train as a kid. I did, however, recognize the term “soul train line.” To my surprise, I already knew some of the segments that were made popular by Soul Train. This dance-music program has had a strong influence on popular culture today so that the newer generation,…

choose to conform rather than rock the boat, this characterization in not one-hundred percent true. In fact, there was several different groups within the United States that desired and attempted to sink the boat. For instance, an up and rising rock ‘n’ roll musician, Elvis Presley, was becoming a sensational phenomenon for the teenage listeners but was met with anger from the older generations who believed his performances to be “vulgar” and “animalism.” However, Elvis Presley was not the only…

From the eclecticism and psychedelic experimentalism of the Sixties, a large range of musicals styles appeared and grew throughout the Seventies. In many instances, these styles refined the stylistic features of psychedelia which usually coexisted but now heralded new styles within rock. The unifying factor between music of the late Sixties and Seventies rock is the hippie aesthetic, not only in terms of the perspective of the audience but also the artists themselves. It goes on to show how…

Music has influenced all regions in different aspects of life, contributing in the making of history. A genre of music that is considered to be the basic foundation of all genres ranging from the old days to the twenty first century is the blues. When you think of the blues, you tend to think about personal adversity. A common theme in the genre of blues is that people talk about problems they are having, any feeling of regret they may have, and feelings of betrayal. However, the blues is also…

There are a lot of reasons why the 80s was important (and the fashion wasn't that bad). There were a lot of great songs being released during that time, in my opinion I think the music was an important part of the 80s. A lot of beats that were being made during that time changed the music scene till this day. For example; I listen to a lot of hip hop and I've noticed a lot of artists use similar beats to the 80s a lot of music now a days are using beats that are different much like the 80s and…

I am Vietnamese who was born in the last years of the 20th century. Then, then 2000s was the era which the culture of pop music was automatically instilled in each person the day they started to listen to music. The modern pop music is one of the fastest growing genres in the music industries. And undoubtedly, pop quickly spreads its affections to the Vietnamese audience. Just the same as other people at my age, I used to despite older music, considered them out of fashion and boring. However,…

singer, and a composer. Anka was very popular.. He was loved by many parents because they thought he was a good boy. Presley was another popular singer he was the 50 's legend. He was described as "rock ability." He was the lead figure of rock n ' roll. Unlike Anka, Presley was hated by parents as they thought he was bad-mannered. Evelyn Greenberg said about a Presley concert, "A girlfriend and I skipped a class at university and that was a no-no in my house." This was the influence Presley had…

Since amendments were made to the ‘British Nationality law’ in the 1940s, people from the commonwealth islands (including India) had been immigrating to the UK for nearly 20 years – this meant that people of the Hindu and other religions had already introduced these faiths into British society and the world was already changing to be more cultural before the Beatles choice to follow them. The band only created higher popularity for these faiths amongst the population. Also their views on…

The best thing about college is that it grants you the opportunity to learn about a vast range of topics. Even when something is not part of your major, you can take a class that interests you. That is exactly what has brought me to this class. My major is Environmental Health Sciences, but I was attracted to this class because I love music. I do not claim to know much about music, but I do love it. I hope to leave this class with just a bit more knowledge on the subject. Perhaps I will…
