Famous Music Artists From The 20th Century

From the 1950s onwards, rock and pop music really took off and some of the greatest artists of this period were Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, and Madonna. They all aroused strong emotions during their heyday and had lots of fans but there were also many from the older generation who thought they were too challenging and controversial.

Today, these artists are considered to be quite inoffensive and it is instead other artists’ music that makes the adult world disgust. In other words, music still has the power to stir up strong emotions in both a positive and a negative way. The language of music can be very touching and that is why beautiful music is often played at funerals to remember a beloved family member or friend. Before a funeral, there is also much else that must be arranged, which makes it nice to be able to get help from professional advisers who help with all the practicalities. Support and help with funerals can be obtained from Lavendla Begravning & Juridik.

Elvis Presley and The Beatles

Elvis Presley is one of the greatest artists ever and he is the artist who sold the most with over 1 billion records sold. Thanks to his distinctive soulful voice and challenging dance style, he was unique in his kind when he broke through in the 1950s. His memory still lives on with loyal fans and there are countless Elvis imitators around the world who try to imitate the original voice and appearance. Even though it was many years since Elvis Presley passed away, he is still considered the King of rock’n’roll and the news that Hollywood will make a film about his life pleases many fans around the world.

The Beatles are one of the greatest pop bands of all time and despite their recent 50th anniversary, many still remember and listen to their music. Until recently, the group was also the only one to simultaneously have the first three places on the American singles chart, but recently the record was challenged by Ariana Grande who succeeded with the same feat.

Madonna and Michael Jackson

Madonna is considered by many to be “The Queen of Pop” and even though she has turned 60, she is still active as an artist. She made a big impact in the 1980s with songs like “Holiday” and “Like a Virgin” where the music video for the songs was at least as important as the music itself. Madonna became known for her dancing performances and sexually challenging style. Madonna recently released the album Madame X which has received good reviews and a lot of attention.

Michael Jackson is also one of the greatest artists of all time and is considered a prodigy in music due to his sense of rhythm and advanced dance. Although Michael Jackson passed away in 2009, his pop music still lives on, but recently his reputation was tarnished when a controversial documentary appeared that gave a different picture of him.
