query: Led Zeppelin was formed in Alaska.

pos: Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin were an English rock band formed in London in 1968 . The group consisted of guitarist Jimmy Page , singer Robert Plant , bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones , and drummer John Bonham . The band 's heavy , guitar-driven sound , rooted in blues and psychedelia on their early albums , has earned them recognition as one of the progenitors of heavy metal , though their unique style drew from a wide variety of influences , including folk music .   After changing their name from the New Yardbirds , Led Zeppelin signed a deal with Atlantic Records that afforded them considerable artistic freedom . Although the group was initially unpopular with critics , they achieved significant commercial success with albums such as Led Zeppelin ( 1969 ) , Led Zeppelin II ( 1969 ) , Led Zeppelin III ( 1970 ) , Led Zeppelin IV ( 1971 ) , Houses of the Holy ( 1973 ) , and Physical Graffiti ( 1975 ) . Their fourth album , which features the track `` Stairway to Heaven '' , is among the most popular and influential works in rock music , and it helped to secure the group 's popularity .   Page wrote most of Led Zeppelin 's music , particularly early in their career , while Plant generally supplied the lyrics . Jones ' keyboard-based compositions later became central to the group 's catalogue , which featured increasing experimentation . The latter half of their career saw a series of record-breaking tours that earned the group a reputation for excess and debauchery . Although they remained commercially and critically successful , their output and touring schedule were limited during the late 1970s , and the group disbanded following Bonham 's death from alcohol-related asphyxia in 1980 . In the decades that followed , the surviving members sporadically collaborated and participated in one-off Led Zeppelin reunions . The most successful of these was the 2007 Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert in London , with Jason Bonham taking his late father 's place behind the drums .   Led Zeppelin are widely considered one of the most successful , innovative , and influential rock groups in history . They are one of the best-selling music artists in the history of audio recording ; various sources estimate the group 's record sales at 200 to 300 million units worldwide . With RIAA-certified sales of 111.5 million units , they are the second-best-selling band in the US . Each of their nine studio albums placed in the top 10 of the Billboard album chart and six reached the number-one spot . They achieved eight consecutive UK number-one albums . Rolling Stone magazine described them as `` the heaviest band of all time '' , `` the biggest band of the Seventies '' , and `` unquestionably one of the most enduring bands in rock history '' . They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995 ; the museum 's biography of the band states that they were `` as influential '' during the 1970s as the Beatles were during the 1960s .

neg: Prehistory of Alaska Prehistoric Alaska begins with Paleolithic people moving into northwestern North America sometime between 40,000 and 15,000 years ago across the Bering Land Bridge in western Alaska ; a date less than 20,000 years ago is most likely . They found their passage blocked by a huge sheet of ice until a temporary recession in the Wisconsin glaciation ( the last ice age ) opened up an ice-free corridor through northwestern Canada , possibly allowing bands to fan out throughout the rest of the continent . Eventually , Alaska became populated by the Inuit and a variety of Native American groups . Trade with both Asia and southern tribes was active even before the advent of Europeans .   Today , early Alaskans are divided into several main groups : the Southeastern Coastal Native Americans ( the Tlingit , Haida , and Tsimshian ) , the Athabascans , the Aleut , and the two groups of Eskimos , Inupiat and Yup ` ik .

neg: The Aerovons The Aerovons were an American psychedelic rock music group . They were formed in 1966 in St Louis , Missouri by Tom Hartman . A 1967 demo record was heard by a representative of Capitol Records . In spite of an offer to record in Los Angeles , the group held out hope that they could record in London , the recording home of their heroes , The Beatles . In 1968 they travelled to London twice , receiving offers from both EMI and Decca . In 1969 , the band returned to London and recorded an album at Abbey Road studio . Guitarist Bob Frank , a longtime member of the group , left the group just before they went to London to record , due to personal issues . Despite blogs and rumors to the contrary , Bob was never `` let go '' and was always missed , according to leader Tom Hartman . Only once in England did the band realize that his replacement , Phil Edholm , and the group had differences that proved insurmountable . He left shortly after they began recording .   Once the album was finished , the band returned to St. Louis where more personal problems between a group member and his family caused the group to splinter . EMI decided not to release the album . EMI invited Tom Hartman to come to England and reload , so to speak , but Hartman felt moving to England was too great a step at his age , and the partnership with EMI was dissolved . The album was not released until a CD release in 2003 by RPM .

neg: Fourth Avenue Theatre (Anchorage, Alaska) The Fourth Avenue Theatre , also known as the Lathrop Building , is a movie theater in Anchorage , Alaska that has been described as Art Deco , Streamline Moderne , and Art Moderne in style . Built beginning in 1941 and completed in 1947 after a halt during World War II , somewhat after the heyday of these styles , it was a large 960-seat first-run theater until the 1980s .   The theater was designed by B. Marcus Priteca , a leading designer of themed cinemas in America , in association with Seattle architect A.A. Porreca for Cap Lathrop , a prominent Alaska businessman . The theater 's lobby featured a gold leaf mural of Mount McKinley , but originally omitted a concession stand , a feature Lathrop felt was inappropriate .   The main house was decorated with silver and gold murals by Anthony Heinsbergen and Frank Bouman of Los Angeles , and a rendering of the Big Dipper ( a symbol of Alaska ) on the ceiling . Murals were done on canvas with reliefs in Masonite leafed with gold and silver . The building 's structure is reinforced concrete with travertine on the exterior street level .   As the Lathrop Building , the complex included facilities for Lathrop 's radio and television stations , a restaurant , and a penthouse apartment added in 1959-1960 .   After some renovation by the city of Anchorage , the theater was used by a catering firm as a banquet facility . Rasmuson Foundation approved a program related investment structured as a low-interest loan to the Municipality of Anchorage in 2006 so that the city could purchase , restore and use the Theater for meeting space by the Anchorage Convention and Visitors Bureau . When the Anchorage Assembly voted to prohibit the City to act as the loan guarantor , Rasmuson Foundation rescinded the award offer . Due to the economic recession in the following years , these plans did not come to fruition . In 2011 , the theater 's new owner , Peach Investments , presented new restoration plans .

neg: Hooper Bay (album) Hooper Bay is purportedly an EP by Boards of Canada , issued in both vinyl and cassette formats . The title refers to the small city of that name in Alaska , and all track titles on the album share a similar Alaskan theme . Only 200 copies were said to have been produced and shared amongst the band 's friends and family , and although none have publicly surfaced , an excerpt roughly 35 seconds long of the track `` Circle '' was held on a website hosting early material from the group . This sample showcases a melancholy kind of ambient electronica similar to that of the band 's following release . The site has since gone down , though the sample has since been uploaded to YouTube .   Mislabeled MP3 files claiming to be copies of Hooper Bay are in wide circulation on peer to peer networks , but are understood to be fakes . As with other rare Boards of Canada releases , some of these fakes are mostly mislabeled tracks by other musicians and bands . For example , a track purported to be `` Geiser '' was revealed to actually be the experimental Icelandic group múm 's `` Smell Memory '' , and `` Seward Leaf '' was revealed to be `` Slow Bicycle '' , another múm track .   Track 7 from the Live @ ATP performance is sometimes believed to be Noatak , due to a processed voice saying something sounding phonetically similar throughout the song , a latter half containing dark ambient sounds akin to that of `` Circle '' , as well as a similar track length . This has yet to be confirmed by the band , however .

neg: Economy of Alaska The 2007 gross state product was $ 44.9 billion , 45th in the nation . Its per capita personal income for 2007 was $ 40,042 , ranking 15th in the nation . The state 's economy has been described by University of Alaska Anchorage economist Scott Goldsmith as a `` three-legged stool '' - with one leg being the petroleum and gas industry , the second leg being the federal government and the third leg being all other industries and services . Between 2004 and 2006 , the federal government was responsible for 135,000 Alaska jobs , the petroleum sector provided 110,000 jobs and all other industries and services combined for 122,000 jobs .

Manufacturing is limited , with most foodstuffs and general goods imported from elsewhere .   Employment is primarily in government and industries such as natural resource extraction , shipping , and transportation . Military bases are a significant component of the economy in both Fairbanks and Anchorage . Federal subsidies are also an important part of the economy , allowing the state to keep taxes low . Its industrial outputs are crude petroleum , natural gas , coal , gold , precious metals , zinc and other mining , seafood processing , timber and wood products . There is also a growing service and tourism sector . Tourists have contributed to the economy by supporting local lodging .

neg: White Pass and Yukon Route The White Pass and Yukon Route ( WP&Y , WP&YR ) is a Canadian and U.S. Class II narrow gauge railroad linking the port of Skagway , Alaska , with Whitehorse , the capital of Yukon . An isolated system , it has no direct connection to any other railroad . Equipment , freight and passengers are ferried by ship through the Port of Skagway , and via road through a few of the stops along its route .   The railroad began construction in 1898 during the Klondike Gold Rush as a means of reaching the goldfields . With its completion in 1900 , it became the primary route to the interior of the Yukon , supplanting the Chilkoot Trail and other routes . The route continued operation until 1982 , and in 1988 was partially revived as a heritage railway .   Today , the railroad is a subsidiary of Clublink and operated by the Pacific and Arctic Railway and Navigation Company ( in Alaska ) , the British Columbia Yukon Railway Company ( in British Columbia ) and the British Yukon Railway Company , originally known as the British Yukon Mining , Trading and Transportation Company ( in Yukon ) , which use the trade name White Pass and Yukon Route .

neg: Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary On May 14 , 1988 , the Atlantic Records label held its 40th Anniversary Celebration by staging a non-stop concert lasting almost 13 hours at Madison Square Garden , New York . The event was dubbed `` It 's Only Rock And Roll '' .   Only artists who had released material on the Atlantic label in the United States performed , with the artists spanning the 40 years of the company 's existence . Lavern Baker and Ruth Brown were the longest tenured Atlantic acts to perform , while Debbie Gibson was the most recent Atlantic signing to make an appearance at the event .   Some Atlantic signings , who had either officially split up or who had not performed together for a number of years , re-formed especially to perform at the concert . These artists included The Rascals , Iron Butterfly , and the former members of Led Zeppelin . Other notable performers included Yes , Genesis , Crosby , Stills & Nash , Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer ( representing Emerson , Lake & Palmer ) , Foreigner , Paul Rodgers , Bob Geldof , Booker T. Jones , Wilson Pickett , The Coasters , The Spinners , Peabo Bryson , The Blues Brothers ( featuring Dan Aykroyd and Sam Moore ) , Roberta Flack , The Manhattan Transfer , Bee Gees , Ben E. King and Vanilla Fudge .   There had been plans to close the performance with a greatest hits all-star jam , but this idea was shelved . Instead , the former members of Led Zeppelin performed as the last act .   The concert was broadcast live in the US on FM radio and HBO television , commentary for the latter being provided backstage by comedian Robert Townsend . HBO commenced its live broadcast a few hours into the event and interspersed footage of the concert which had been taped earlier by the network . In so doing , some of the artists ' sets were edited or omitted . An edited version aired later that year on ABC hosted by Robert Hays . Several banners heralding the reunion of Led Zeppelin band members were displayed like tapestry by excited fans , but , to their dismay , were taken down before HBO went with their live feed . The Audio was recorded by David Hewitt and Stanley Johnston on the Record Plant Black Truck .   In the United Kingdom the event was broadcast over a period of four weeks by BBC 2 , presented as hour-long episodes . Atlantic Records later released this production on video under the title Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary : It 's Only Rock 'n' Roll . The release intercut concert footage with highlights from earlier performances , as well as older footage from the Atlantic archives .


query: Elvis was a program.

pos: Elvis (1968 TV program) Elvis , starring Elvis Presley , is a United States television special that aired on December 3 , 1968 on the NBC television network . The special is commonly referred to as the 68 Comeback Special , because of subsequent developments in Presley 's career . It was directed by Steve Binder and produced by Binder and Bones Howe . Music from the special was released before the broadcast , on the album Elvis ( NBC TV Special ) .   Presley 's informal jamming in front of a small audience in the special is regarded as a forerunner of the `` unplugged '' concept , later popularized by MTV .

pos: Television special A television special is a television program which temporarily interrupts programming normally scheduled for a given time slot . Sometimes , however , the term is given to a telecast of a theatrical film , such as The Wizard of Oz , which is not part of a regular television anthology series such as NBC Saturday Night at the Movies ( 1961 -- 1978 ) .   The term originally applied especially to major dramatized presentations of an hour or two which were broadcast during times normally occupied by episodes of one or more weekly television series , thus replacing the series for that specific week . In the 1960s , multi-part specials , over several days in a week , or on the same day for several weeks , evolved from this format , though these were more commonly called miniseries . The term `` TV special '' formerly applied more to dramas or musicals presented live or on videotape ( such as Peter Pan ) than to filmed presentations especially made for television , which were ( and still are ) designated as made-for-TV movies .   Other forms of TV specials are one-time comedy or musical events , one-shot seasonal programs ( e.g. Christmas television specials ) , irregular sports events ( e.g. the Olympic Games or the Super Bowl ) , live coverage of a popular cultural event ( such as the Academy Awards or Macy 's Thanksgiving Day Parade ) , fundraising campaigns ( telethon ) or spontaneous interruptions of active programming to cover an important news event ( election coverage , however , is generally scheduled ) .   Today , with the rise of cable , online streaming , and home video , it is virtually impossible for an annual telecast of a program to have the same impact on television as before . In pre-cable and pre-home video days , television audiences often had to wait an entire year or more to see a special program or film that had a great impact on first viewing . Online streaming makes it possible for viewers to watch a television show again almost immediately after it is aired , and home video , digital downloads as well as internet television and video on demand , make it possible for the general public to own copies of television shows and films .   Most TV specials can be filmed in one country but broadcast in another . For example , a 1998 TV special The Wiggles Live at Disneyland was filmed in Disneyland in Anaheim , California , USA but broadcast on the Disney Channel in Australia .

neg: Countdown (Australian TV series) Countdown was a long-running popular weekly Australian music television show broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation from 8 November 1974 until 19 July 1987 . It was created by Executive Producer Michael Shrimpton , producer/director Robbie Weekes and record producer and music journalist Ian `` Molly '' Meldrum . Countdown was produced at the studios of the ABC in the Melbourne suburb of Ripponlea .   Countdown was the most popular music program in Australian TV history . It was broadcast nationwide on Australia 's government-owned broadcaster , the ABC , and commanded a huge and loyal audience . It soon exerted a strong influence on radio programmers because of its audience and the amount of Australian content it featured . The first half-hour episode went to air at 6.30 pm on Friday , 8 November 1974 , but for most of the time it was on air , it also gained double exposure throughout the country by screening a new episode each Sunday evening , and then repeating it the following Saturday evening . The majority of performances on the show were lip synched .   Molly Meldrum , the program 's talent co-ordinator , began appearing on-air in 1975 , presenting the `` Humdrum '' music news segment and conducting interviews . Meldrum soon became the `` face '' of Countdown . He appeared regularly on-air until 1986 . Another attraction to the program was the local and international acts who would host an episode - usually performing as well . During the show , Meldrum would interview them ( while co-hosting ) or have a chat with them before the show went out with the number 1 single of the week . In October 2014 , Meldrum published his autobiography , `` The Never , Um , Ever Ending Story '' .

neg: Champion Spark Plug Hour Champion Spark Plug Hour was a music radio program sponsored by Champion . It was broadcast on New York 's WJZ and WGY during the late 1920s and early 1930s .

The program featured the Champion Sparkers Male Quartet and an orchestra conducted by Walter Gustave `` Gus '' Haenschen . Personnel in the band included Sam Lewis ( trombone ) , Earl Oliver ( trumpet ) , Merle Johnston ( saxophone ) and Phil Gleason . Irving Kaufman ( 1890-1976 ) was a featured vocalist with the band .

It was the first of five consecutive Costello albums produced by Nick Lowe and cost # 2,000 to record . The backing band was made up of members of Clover , but they were uncredited on the original release due to contractual difficulties ; some early publicity for the album identified the backing band as `` The Shamrocks '' .

In 2004 , it was ranked 37 of the top 100 albums of the 1970s by Pitchfork which reported the album to be `` held by many as the most impressive debut in pop music history . '' In 2007 , the album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame .

neg: Elvis (1973 album) Elvis is a 1973 album by American singer and musician Elvis Presley . It sold over 1 million copies worldwide despite being released soon after the much more successful Aloha from Hawaii album .

neg: Cultural impact of Elvis Presley Since the beginning of his career , Elvis Presley has had an extensive cultural impact . According to Rolling Stone , `` it was Elvis who made rock 'n' roll the international language of pop . '' Rolling Stone encyclopedia of Rock and Roll describes Presley as `` an American music giant of the 20th century who single-handedly changed the course of music and culture in the mid-1950s . '' His recordings , dance moves , attitude and clothing came to be seen as embodiments of rock and roll . His music was heavily influenced by African-American blues , Christian gospel , and Southern country . In a list of the greatest English language singers , as compiled by Q Magazine , Presley was ranked first , and second in the list of greatest singers of 20th century by BBC Radio .   Presley sang both hard driving rockabilly , rock and roll dance songs and ballads , laying a commercial foundation upon which other rock musicians would build their careers . African-American performers like Big Joe Turner , Wynonie Harris and Fats Domino came to national prominence after Presley 's acceptance among mass audiences of White American adults . Singers like Jerry Lee Lewis , the Everly Brothers , Chuck Berry , Bo Diddley , Little Richard , Buddy Holly , Johnny Cash , Roy Orbison and others immediately followed in his wake . John Lennon later observed , `` Before Elvis , there was nothing . ''   During the post-WWII economic boom of the 1950s , many parents were able to give their teenage children much higher weekly allowances , signaling a shift in the buying power and purchasing habits of American teens . During the 1940s bobby soxers had idolized Frank Sinatra , but the buyers of his records were mostly between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two . Presley triggered a lot of demand for his records by near-teens and early teens aged ten and up . Along with Presley 's `` ducktail '' haircut , the demand for black slacks and loose , open-necked shirts resulted in new lines of clothing for teenage boys whereas a girl might get a pink portable 45 rpm record player for her bedroom . Meanwhile , American teenagers began buying newly available portable transistor radios and listened to rock 'n' roll on them ( helping to propel that fledgling industry from an estimated 100,000 units sold in 1955 to 5,000,000 units by the end of 1958 ) . Teens were asserting more independence and Presley became a national symbol of their parents ' consternation .   Presley 's impact on the American youth consumer market was noted on the front page of The Wall Street Journal on December 31 , 1956 when business journalist Louis M. Kohlmeier wrote , `` Elvis Presley today is a business , '' and reported on the singer 's record and merchandise sales . Half a century later , historian Ian Brailsford ( University of Auckland , New Zealand ) commented , `` The phenomenal success of Elvis Presley in 1956 convinced many doubters of the financial opportunities existing in the youth market .

Sam Phillips opened the larger Sam C. Phillips Recording Studio , better known as Phillips Recording , in 1959 to replace the older facility . Since Phillips had invested in the Holiday Inn Hotel chain earlier , he also recorded artists starting in 1963 on the label Holiday Inn Records for Kemmons Wilson . In 1957 , Bill Justis recorded his Grammy Hall of Fame song `` Raunchy '' for Sam Phillips and worked as a musical director at Sun Records .   In 1969 , Sam Phillips sold the label to Shelby Singleton , and there was no recording-related or label-related activity again in the building until the September 1985 Class of '55 recording sessions with Carl Perkins , Roy Orbison , Jerry Lee Lewis , and Johnny Cash , produced by Chips Moman .

She later met with Priscilla Presley and personally presented her with a copy of the original 45rpm record . When `` Goodbye Priscilla '' was first released in 1977 there was some confusion about which Priscilla it was written for-Priscilla Presley or Priscilla Davis who was a main character in the famous Cullen Davis Murder Trials . In his book `` Blood Will Tell-The Murder Trials Of Cullen Davis '' author Gary Cartwright credits the song ( page 199 ) as referring to Priscilla Davis . However , this song was written solely for Priscilla Presley as a tribute to Elvis .   Summers was profiled in the Dictionary of International Biography ( 1982 Edition published by IBC Cambridge ) .

neg: Human Radio Human Radio is an American rock band originally from Memphis , Tennessee . The group was formed in late 1988 by lead singer Ross Rice , and in 1990 they released a self-titled LP on Columbia Records . The single `` Me and Elvis '' was a hit in the US , reaching # 32 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart . The band did a club tour of the U.S. , plus a residency in New England , before closing with a SRO show at The Lone Star Roadhouse in NYC . When the subsequent release of the second single was cancelled , the departure of the band from Columbia was inevitable .   After moving to Nashville , the group broke with Columbia and recorded demos while searching for a new label . After two more years of touring -- mostly in the Southeast US -- with an unreleased second record , the band called it quits in 1992 . To honor their Memphis roots and fans , Human Radio played a farewell show at The South End in Memphis , the bar where they got their start . Rice went on to record a solo album called Umpteen in 1997 . Steve Arnold later went on to tour as bass guitarist with Marty Stuart and Travis Tritt on their `` Double Trouble '' tour .   More recently , the group 's Facebook page indicated that they had been `` in a room trying to find brand new music together .

neg: From Elvis in Memphis From Elvis in Memphis is the fifteenth studio album by American rock and roll singer Elvis Presley , released on RCA Records . It was recorded at American Sound Studio in Memphis in January and February 1969 under the direction of producer Chips Moman and backed by its house band , informally known as `` The Memphis Boys '' . Following the success of Presley 's 1968 Christmas television special and its soundtrack , the album marked Presley 's return to non-soundtrack albums after the completion of his film contract with Paramount Pictures .   Presley 's entourage convinced him to leave the RCA studios and record this album at American Sound , a new Memphis studio at the peak of a hit-producing streak . The reason for going to Moman 's studio was for the soul sound of the house band , ` the Memphis Boys ' . The predominance of country songs among those recorded in these sessions gives them the feel of the `` country soul '' style . This impression is emphasized by the frequent use of the dobro in the arrangements . In any case , the Memphis Boys have a solidly southern soul sound .   From Elvis in Memphis was released in June 1969 to favorable reviews . The album peaked at number 13 on the Billboard 200 , number two on the country charts and number one in the United Kingdom , and its single `` In the Ghetto '' reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 . The album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America in 1970 . In later years , it garnered further favorable reviews , while it was ranked number 190 on Rolling Stone magazine 's 2003 list of the 500 greatest albums of all time .

The show also featured a segment called `` Yesteryear , '' in which a year in history was remembered through songs released in that year as well as description of events that occurred in that year as performed and told by the Statlers and the regulars . The segment became so popular at one point that it developed into a stand-alone spin-off series which also aired on TNN , but was short-lived . After `` Yesteryear , '' a similar segment was introduced called `` Music Mail Time , '' in which viewers could write in and request popular songs to be performed by the Statlers and the regulars .

The Mad Professor as Weisman was nicknamed by Elvis , worked with the King from 1956 ( `` First in Line '' ) to 1971 ( `` Change of Habit '' ) . Their early association ( 1957 -- 62 ) produced many of the most powerful rockers and poignant ballads in Presley 's repertoire , including `` Got a Lot o ' Livin ' to Do '' , `` Follow That Dream '' , `` Rock-A-Hula Baby '' , `` Crawfish '' , `` As Long As I Have You '' , `` Pocketful of Rainbows '' and `` Fame And Fortune '' .

neg: Lipsi (dance) The Lipsi is a dance created in East Germany as a communist alternative to Western rock and roll-influenced dancing . Specifically , the group dancing was seen as more sexual than partner dance , where the female follows the male 's lead .   The Lipsi was created in 1959 . It was poorly received by youth , with protests beginning in summer 1959 that mocked Walter Ulbricht and supported Elvis Presley .   David Byrne described Lipsi as `` a weird sexless popular dance ... that the government attempted to insert into popular culture as a kind of immunization against Elvis 's rock-and-roll gyrations .

neg: Billboard Top Rock'n'Roll Hits: 1960 Billboard Top Rock 'n' Roll Hits : 1960 is a compilation album released by Rhino Records in 1988 , featuring ten hit recordings from 1960 .   One song included on this disc , The Twist by Chubby Checker , is not an original Cameo/Parkway recording but a late 60 's re-recording . The reason was because Cameo/Parkway 's collection of songs was not able to be licensed for release on CD at that time . Rhino , therefore could not include the original recording . It is a rare instance that Rhino would substitute an original recording for a newer recording .   Two versions of this volume in the `` Billboard Top Hits '' series were released . The original version was released in 1988 and included two appearances by Elvis Presley : `` It 's Now or Never '' and `` Stuck on You . '' In 1993 , the album was re-released and replaced the two Elvis songs with Joe Jones ' `` You Talk Too Much '' and Brenda Lee 's `` Sweet Nothin 's . ''   The track lineup on the original 1988 release includes eight songs that reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart . The substitution of the Elvis Presley tracks on the re-release brings that number down to six . On both releases , all tracks reached the Hot 100 's Top 10 .

neg: The Buddy Deane Show The Buddy Deane Show was a teen dance television show , similar to Philadelphia 's American Bandstand , that was created by Zvi Shoubin and aired on WJZ-TV in Baltimore , Maryland from 1957 until 1964 . The show was taken off the air because home station WJZ-TV was unable to integrate black and white dancers . Its host was Winston `` Buddy '' Deane ( 1924-2003 ) , who died in Pine Bluff , Arkansas after suffering a stroke , July 16 , 2003 . He was 78 .   Winston `` Buddy '' Deane was a broadcaster for more than 50 years , beginning his career in Little Rock , Arkansas , then moving to the Memphis , Tennessee market before moving on to Baltimore where he worked at WITH radio . He was one of the first disc jockeys in the area to regularly feature rock-and-roll . His dance party television show debuted in 1957 and was , for a time , the most popular local show in the United States . It aired for two and a half hours a day , six days a week . Hundreds of thousands of teens learned the latest dances of their day by watching Committee Members on The Buddy Deane Show .   Teenagers who appeared on the show every day were known as the `` Committee . '' Committee members included Mike Miller , Charlie Bledsoe , Ron Osher , Mary Lou Raines , Pat ( ricia ) Tacey , and Cathy Schmink . Viewers often emulated the Committee members ' dance moves , copied their personal style , and followed their life stories and interactions .   Buddy Deane organized and disc-jockeyed dances in public venues across the WJZ-TV broadcast area , across much of Maryland and Southern Delaware . At such events , tens of thousands of teenagers were exposed to live recording artists and TV personalities .   Many top acts of the day , both black and white , appeared on the show . Acts that appeared on The Buddy Deane Show first were reportedly barred from appearing on Dick Clark 's American Bandstand . If they were on Bandstand first , however , they could still be on The Buddy Deane Show . Although WJZ-TV , owned by Westinghouse Broadcasting ( now CBS ) , was an ABC affiliate , the station `` blacked out '' the network broadcast of American Bandstand in Baltimore and broadcast the Deane program instead , reportedly because Bandstand showed black teenagers dancing on the show ( although black and white teenagers were not allowed to dance together until the show was moved to California in 1964 ) . The Deane program set aside every other Friday when the show featured only black teenagers ( the rest of the time , the show 's participants were all white ) .   Owing to Buddy 's mid-South roots and work history , he brought onto his show many performers from the ranks of Country and Western music ( e.g. , Skeeter Davis , singing `` The End of the World '' and Brenda Lee singing `` Sweet Nothin 's '' ) , who then achieved cross-over hits among rock 'n' roll fans . Buddy Deane also played songs that other disc-jockeys , often including Dick Clark , refused to present to mostly white teen TV audiences , because the acts sounded `` too Black '' ( e.g. , `` Do You Love Me , '' by the Contours , or `` Hide and Seek , '' by Bunker Hill ) . With an ear for music , seasoned by many more prior years as a disk jockey than Dick Clark , Buddy also brought to his audience a wider array of white musical acts than were seen on `` American Bandstand . '' For example , Carole King appeared on the show , nearly a decade before she burst to popularity with her landmark 1970 album , `` Tapestry , '' playing her 45RPM single `` It Might as Well Rain Until September . '' ( For another example , Dean featured English artist , Helen Shapiro , singing her Baltimore hit , `` Tell Me What He Said , '' at about the time that the Beatles were on tour around England , playing on the same show bill with her . )
