Some of the Most Important Musicians in the History of Pop
There are many artists who have made pop history and who have conquered the hearts of millions of fans who, after so many years, have not forgotten their idols, despite the fact that many have long since disappeared. Among these, we will mention below some of the artists who, as we anticipated, wrote the history of pop music starting with Elvis Presley and ending with the Beatles.
Today, therefore, we want to talk to you about those who were the greatest artists who made pop music their life and conquered the whole world:
Elvis Presley, how can we not talk about the King of pop, the one who thanks to his splendid voice and pelvic movements managed to conquer the whole world and made pop music known and appreciated, until that moment practically unknown. Elvis Presley, managed to bring a sensual charge into music, never abandoned by the artists who came after him.
Elton John, the 69-year-old British singer-songwriter and composer and musician now called the king of the romantic piano ballad who gave new modern insights to other artists at a time when the guitar had begun to prevail as an instrument;
Beatles, the British group that really began to write the history of British pop music. Initially the Beatles were born as a group of ordinary young people who soon managed to break through and become an internationally renowned boy band, conquering the general public. The demonstration of what has just been said is that today the music of the Beatles, after many years is always very current and it is really impossible not to know their songs, and among these we mention for example Yesterday or Yellow Submarine;
Abba, a quartet of singers who came from Sweden around the 70s who conquered the public with their very nice melodies, then resumed in many musicals even in recent times and Mamma Mia is an example;
Michael Jackson, the King of Pop of the 80s / 90s who left an incredible void on that sad 25 June 2009 when the artist suddenly passed away. There are many songs by Michael Jackson, first of all Thriller, which for thirty years is still the best-selling single in the history of music;
Spice Girls, five girls who in the 90s really conquered the public made up of teenagers and beyond; their career unfortunately did not last long, but thanks to the success achieved in a few years, they managed to impress their brand on merchandising, act in a film and become the model of many girls;
John Winston Ono Lennon, better known as just John Lennon, who was not only a songwriter but also a multi-instrumentalist, lyricist, activist and also British film actor and composer of the Beatles from 1962 to 1970. The artist ranks 5th placed on Rolling Stone’s list of 100 best singers;
Madonna, the artist who really gave a pop music lesson with songs that have become real giants like Like a Virgin. Over the years, the artist Madonna Louise Ciccone has managed to adapt to changes in music, distorting not only styles but also her image, not for nothing has she been nicknamed Queen of Pop;
Prince, pseudonym of Prince songwriter, composer, record producer, musician, and much more popular in the eighties and nineties, died prematurely on April 21, 2016. Prince in 2004 was included, by Rolling Stone magazine, at the 27th place on the list of the 100 best artists of all time;
