When ELVIS PRESLEY died he continued to make money with his
recordings or rather his wife and family and the ELVIS company;
RCA,ect. continued to make money but was there any new guys
or gals to sing as good as E did? When Bing Crosby, Dean
Martin,Roy Orbinson and Frank Sinatra passed away were any
singers of equal talent able to step forward and start getting
the big bucks for their GOLD recordings? NOT to my way of
thinking. Good lyrics,great sounds and songs you could hum or
whistle by yourself were the result of GREAT SONGS sung by
GREAT SINGERS. Where are they now? Most songs unless they are
some by COUNTRY STARS are horrible! You can't undestand any
RAP stuff, no great melodies and NO TALENT. The one cool thing
is the invention of MP3 music and APPLE'S iPOD ! ITUNES has
sold a BILLION tunes on the internet for 99 cents a tune and
most record shops that sold CDs for $16 a disc are closed up
or about to close. Sure there are exceptions to every thing:
Some guys and gals have talent with songs that sound good but
they are few and hard to find.
