4th of July Tribute to America's Contribution to the Rock Era

A few tips to help you enjoy the Tribute.  The songs will load onto the site throughout the day, virtually every minute.  It won't be possible to keep up, so enjoy what you can today, then come back in the days to come and catch up.  The entire special will take up as many as 50 pages.  When you scroll all the way to the bottom of the web site, you will see a link in red that says "Older Posts".  Click on that to take you backwards to previous pages of the special.  We will provide links beginning tomorrow for easy access to the entire Tribute.  You can also access all the posts by going to the left-hand side of the page, where you will find the "Blog Archive" and see all of the posts relating to the 4th of July Tribute to America's Contribution to the Rock Era*.  Most people will find the entire Tribute pretty powerful in its scope and quality.


Because of the large number of videos, your video player may crash from time to time.  To lessen this happening, listen to the songs all the way through.  It is the constant starts and stops that will cause the player to crash.  Plus, you will get much more enjoyment out of the Tribute.  When the player does crash, just hit the "Refresh" button on your browser and you should be able to continue listening.


We made every effort to normalize the loudness, but because of the large number of songs, it was impossible to do so.  So we kindly ask for your assistance and patience in adjusting the loudness on your computer on some songs so as to get the most enjoyment.


This R&B group from White Plains, New York gave us one of The Top Love Songs of the Rock Era* with this smash in 1987--Atlantic Starr:
