Little Richard, was an American musician, singer, and songwriter. He was an influential figure in popular music and culture for seven decades. Nicknamed "The Innovator, The Originator, and The Architect of Rock and Roll", Richard's most celebrated work dates from the mid-1950s, when his charismatic showmanship and dynamic music, characterized by frenetic piano playing, pounding back beat and raspy shouted vocals, laid the foundation for rock and roll. Richard's innovative emotive vocalizations and uptempo rhythmic music also played a key role in the formation of other popular music genres, including soul and funk, respectively. He influenced numerous singers and musicians across musical genres from rock to hip hop; his music helped shape rhythm and blues for generations to come.

Soprano Susan Bullock and pianist Richard Sisson present Songs My Father Taught Me, a celebration of the timeless classics from the Great American Songbook and their worthy successors from the late 20th century.

Around Gershwin is star accordionist Richard Galliano’s tribute to George Gershwin, interweaving his music with works by early twentieth-century composers such as Debussy, Rachmaninoff, Satie, Ravel and Fauré, as well as new compositions of his own. Seen through the lense of Galliano’s masterful musicianship, these pieces create the sensation of a sonic odyssey.

Cliff Richard Voormalig Brits tieneridool, die gezegend lijkt met de <br>eeuwige jeugd. De in Lucknow, India geboren Richard neemt zijn eerste single, Move It, op in '58. <br>Het Engelse tienerpubliek hunkert op dat moment naar een nieuwe Elvis Presley. De populairste <br>Engelse rockers in die tijd in Engeland, Terry Dene en Tommy Steele, mogen dan wel aardige <br>jongens zijn (Steele is zelfs een echte komediant), ze beschikken bij lange na niet over de <br>persoonlijkheid die Presley heeft. Cliff heeft 'het' echter wel; althans tv-producer Jack Good weet <br>Richard na diens eerste hit in zijn beroemde tv-show Oh Boy zodanig te presenteren dat iedereen <br>denkt dat Cliff 'het' heeft. Na enkele echte r&amp;r-singles, zoals High Class Baby, neemt <br>Richard in '59 met zijn begeleiders The Drifters, later omgedoopt in The Shadows de <br>mediumrocker Living Doll op, zijn eerste nummer 1-hit.
