"Into the Groove" was released in 1985 (track from the film Desperately Seeking Susan and single that became Madonna's first UK #1). On July 13, 1985, she took the stage at Live Aid in Philadelphia (JFK Stadium) and delivered one of the most iconic performances in the festival's history.

"Wicked Game" was released in 1989 on the album Heart Shaped World, but only became a megahit in 1990 after being used on the soundtrack to David Lynch's film Wild at Heart. Chris Isaak wrote the song inspired by a painful and treacherous ending.

It reached the Top 10 in several countries and to this day is the most famous song of Chris Isaak's career.

The historic moment of how The Beatles were formed.

It all began in 1957. Sixteen-year-old John Lennon had a skiffle band called The Quarrymen. In 1957, at a parish fair at St. Peter’s Church in Woolton (Liverpool), The Quarrymen were playing. They performed the song “Come Go With Me” by The Del-Vikings. John didn’t know the lyrics well, so he improvised parts by making up words on the spot.

In the audience was 15-year-old Paul McCartney, who had gone with a mutual friend (Ivan Vaughan). Paul was impressed by John’s charisma despite his slip-up. After the performance, Paul approached John in the church hall. They asked John for his guitar; Paul tuned it correctly (John had it out of tune), played it upside down because he was left-handed, and performed Eddie Cochran’s “Twenty Flight Rock” perfectly, lyrics and all. John was so impressed that, shortly afterward, he invited Paul to join the band.

In 1958, George Harrison, Paul’s friend and only 14 years old, joined the band. Although John initially saw him as “the kid,” George proved his talent and stayed on. The band went through several name changes (The Blackjacks, Johnny and the Moondogs, etc.) until, in 1960, they adopted the name The Beatles, inspired by Buddy Holly & The Crickets and playing on the word “beat.”

In August 1960, with Stuart Sutcliffe on bass and Pete Best on drums, they traveled to Hamburg, Germany. They played for months in clubs in the red-light district, sometimes for 8 hours a night. It was an extremely tough but crucial period: they matured as musicians, learned to perform live, and forged their chemistry. There they also met Astrid Kirchherr, who gave them their famous “mop-top” hairstyles.

Back in Liverpool, they began playing regularly at the Cavern Club. On November 9, 1961, Brian Epstein, a young record salesman, saw them and was captivated. He became their manager and opened the doors to record labels for them.

In 1962, producer George Martin signed them to EMI. He asked to replace the drummer, and in August, Ringo Starr joined the band. On September 4, 1962, they recorded their first single: “Love Me Do,” which was released in October and reached number 17 on the British charts. Shortly after, “Please Please Me” was released, and Beatlemania exploded.

From being 4 ordinary boys who played at church parties, smoke-filled basements, and bars in Hamburg, to becoming the biggest musical phenomenon of the 20th century.

The older I get, the more I realise that nothing beats going for a long walk in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside ♥️

"Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" is Starship's biggest hit, it was written by Diane Warren and Albert Hammond especially for the wedding scene in the film Mannequin (1987). Albert Hammond was inspired by his own life: he had just divorced and was starting a new relationship. https://t.co/ZBDOLkaBvK
