British Invasion: Part II
We continue the British Invasion this week with a look at who followed the Beatles into America. The American market was one of the hardest to break into, but once the Beatles had landed, the doors were open for those who had become famous in the UK to enter rock's home grounds. "The biggest thing the Beatles did was to open the American market to all British artists," said Arthur Howes, planner of the early Beatles' tours of England. "Nobody had been able to get in before the Beatles. They alone did it. I had brought over lots of American stars, but nobody had gone over there." The All-American sound of local radio stations dissapated to reveal a new force, primarily guitar bands that wrote, sang, and played all their own pieces. The mass-production of bubble-gum pop songs was to nearly come to an end, and certainly was over in the hearts of the teens.

Covered by Rockers - Original R&B Versions of Some Classics
Often, the first artist to do a song that becomes a classic is an r&b singer who remains in obscurity. Meanwhile, the performer of the subsequent rock version becomes a star. This is a look at the originators of some gems we all know.

The British Invasion, Part I
We're back to history this week with a look at the British Invasion. Basically, all British groups wanted to break through to the States, because that was rock's biggest market. They also wanted to go because the music that inspired them to become musicians came from there. America was a sort of rock paradise, where the music that was still offensive in England was now accepted by all. Many tried to release records through large American labels, all were refused. Those who tried to release them through independents were generally crushed. It seemed as if the States wanted nothing to do with the Brits and that it was an impenetrable music industry. The Beatles, however, would change all that...

The British Invasion, Part III: The Blues Invasion
Last time, we looked at the British Invasion and all the mainstream pop groups that followed it. This week, we take a look at the more blues-related artists that broke into the United States at around the same time. These groups were less known be the general public at the time, but had a strong base of hardcore blues fans that followed them throughout their early careers. Many of them became famous. Many of them became only one hit wonders. Whatever the result of their careers, the impact they had on rock can't be disputed.

The Brits and rock: Rockers (1963-64, Part II)
We continue our look at rock in the United Kingdom this week with a look at the other side of England's youth: the Rockers. In essence, two groups of teens dominated the English rock industry, the Mods and the Rockers. Being distinct in nearly all of their nuances, these two also preferred distinctly different groups. The Rockers adopted the Teddy Boy styles that had captured the youth before them, and, for most Rockers, the music that they received from across the ocean, rock and roll.
