SOMETHING YOU MAY NOT KNOW

In 1969, a 22-year old pianist named ELTON JOHN appeared on The Hollies' single "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother."


Paul McCartney once called The Beach Boys  "GOD ONLY KNOWS" the greatest  song ever written.


Even with over 40 Billboard Top 40 hits, JAMES BROWN never hit #1 in the charts.


In an interview with Howard Stern, CARLY SIMON revealed that her hit "Anticpation" came to her while waiting for her date, CAT STEVENS.


The Doors unexpected hit "LIGHT MY FIRE" blew up and reached No.1 in 1967.


​Many rock experts say that Led Zeppelin's "STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN" is still considered one of the best rock songs ever because it bridged the gap between 60's Acoustic Rock and 70's Hard Rock.
