In a mere handful of years, WHAM! launched nearly a dozen singles into the Top 10 of the U.K. singles chart. - a lucky seven entries. Their first album was entitled Fantastic; it was.

Down South Jukin': Lynyrd Skynyrd Celebrates "Fyfty" Years on New Box Set
If you looked up "southern rock" in the music dictionary, there's a good chance you might find a photo of Lynyrd Skynyrd next to the definition. The Jacksonville, Florida band first came together as My Backyard in 1964; five years later, lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarists Gary Rossington and Allen Collins, bassist Larry Junstrom, and drummer Bob Burns took on the unusual, now-familiar moniker. Skynyrd didn't release their first album until 1973 by which time bassist Leon Wilkeson had come

The air was thick with anticipation at Radio City Music Hall.

I'm Digging You, Digging Me: 7a Reissues Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart's "I Wonder What She's Doing Tonite"
When Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart made their long-playing debut as a recording duo with the 1967 release on A&M Records of Test Patterns, it was clear that the duo had the goods. They were singers, writers, producers, and musicians, and showcased all of those talents on the album. It was the culmination of a relatively short but prolific period of time that saw them - individually and collectively - behind some of the most enduring hits of that era or any other: "Last Train to Clarksville,"
