The BLACK Betty Boop? Baby Esther, Helen Kane & "I Wanna Be Loved by You" | Single File
Word on the web is that Betty Boop was really a black woman-but the story isn't really that simple. Helen Kane jacked her swag, but was it even her swag to begin with? And why does the internet keep getting the story so wrong? Watch and find out who the original "Boop Boop A Doop Girl" was and if it's a case of cultural appropriation, swagger jacking, or something deeper.

"Through the Wire": How Kanye's Near-Death Experience Kickstarted His Career | Single File
Просмотров 101 тыс.4 года назад
Kanye West is a world-changing genius who has irrevocably changed the music landscape. But for a brief moment, he was hip hop's most unappreciated producer. And for an even briefer moment, we almost lost him. While we often struggle to define a single, career-defining moment in West's career, the one that changed the course of his career-and music as a whole-almost ended his life. A car acciden...
"What'd I Say": How Ray Charles Married Religion and...Doing It | Single File
Просмотров 4504 года назад
"What'd I Say" by Ray Charles changed the music landscape forever by combining gospel music with the blues. When soul music was still in its infancy, Charles brought it into the mainstream and laid the foundations for the future of rock and roll. But for an entire decade, white America was completely unaware of Ray Charles and his genius in the making. He dabbled in imitating Nat King Cole, but...
"You Don't Bring Me Flowers": The Unauthorized Mashup That Went #1 | Single File

Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand's mostly forgotten duet, "You Don't Bring Me Flowers," is probably just a 1970s pop artifact to you-that is, if you know it at all. But the story behind this song is a lot deeper and it's actually one of the earliest examples of a "viral" pop song mashup. #NeilDiamond #BarbraStreisand #YouDontBringMeFlowers CHAPTERS 00:00 - Intro 00:45 - Background 06:32 - Comp...

    A very good history of the song, thank you. HOWEVER, "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" has never been considered a duet in the traditional sense. I'm fairly sure it is credited as "Stevie Nicks with Tom Petty." A better choice as an example of a monster duet would have been Streisand and Donna Summer, "No More Tears (Enough is Enough)." The two biggest female singers of the decade.

    This was so well done! Thank you! Barbra Streisand skips this entire story in her memoir, "My Name Is Barbra." She doesn't even name Gary Guthrie, which I found very off putting. Thank God for RUclips and creators like you. ❤‍🔥

      She doesn't even mention it?? The surprise appearance on the Grammys? Supposedly rehearsing on the phone the night before? I've got the book, but am not up to that point in it. I'm kinda pissed. I think she has intentionally snubbed Neil over the years. Should have done a few concerts with him. It would have been amazing.

    It seems mind boggling that everyone thought he wouldn’t be a good rapper because he wasn’t from the hood. Hip hop didn’t start as gangster rap. Pac and Biggie really did shake up the genre I guess

    It's still swag jacking Pharrell Williams Lost some major lawsuit from Marvin Gayes estate for swag jacking so it has legal precedence now. you can't just swag Jack somebody make money and think you will walk away Scott's free that's done all over the Internet including on tiktok and white people find intellectual ways of looking at in different ways and over explaining it and reification of the points to make it seem like they are not stealing what is basically intellectual property and claiming it's theirs it's still swag jacking buddy. Elvis Presley is a swag jacker. dancing and singing and personality he's a total swagger bandit. the most recent form of swag jacking is reggaeton.

    Nothing about the River Re-Mix by Fangoria, from 1993? I read that there was a lawsuit about that, and the Bayside Boys remix. And, about the covers and parodies, there was even a Sesame Street version, (which I like to call "Macarena (Sesame Street's Rock Mix), since they replaced the dance beat and synths with a rock beat and guitars) and a Macarena version of a Disney song. ruclips.net/video/FRTwArE5urY/видео.html ruclips.net/video/3AH7lwV8Q_g/видео.html

    RIP Mike Triay :( Also, I find it interesting that the female singer wasn't originally Carla Vanessa. Although, since they didn't mention her until they started talking about 1996, I'm wondering if there are two versions. (one with Patty Alfaro, (1995) and one with Carla Vanessa, (1996) even though they sound like the same singer.)
