For the eleventh legendary artist in The Legend Slot we’re talking all things country with Dolly Parton. It only made sense that the month that Dolly released her ‘Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square’ Netflix film would be the month that I included her in this series! So I listened to all 47 of...
Okay so if I’m completely honest with you all…I’ve barely ever listened to Whitney Houston. Like yeah I, and everyone in the UK, will’ve heard all of her big hits be absolutely murdered in X Factor auditions at some point. But I’ve never really sat and actually listened to her music. That’s most likely...
We’re getting our groove on this month with the ninth playlist in The Legend Slot. Funk, disco, soul and jazz are just a few of the genres you can use to describe this month’s artist…Earth, Wind & Fire. Earth, Wind & Fire: A Brief History Founded in 1969 in Chicago by Maurice White, Earth,...
After the absolute marathon that was listening to almost 500 Prince tracks last month I felt like I needed to keep it simple this month. I wanted something fun, light and upbeat as it can be quite a task listening to 30 odd albums in depth each month. So I went ahead and chose...
For the seventh playlist in The Legend Slot I’m continuing on with the theme of royalty. We had Queen last month but now it’s time for funk legend Prince. Prince: A Brief History Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1958, Prince (born Prince Rogers Nelson) was a singer-songwriter, producer, actor and filmmaker who was regarded...
We’re officially halfway through The Legend Slot! For the sixth playlist I’ve gone back to the bands to bring you some of the best tracks by rock legends, Queen. Before we start though I wanted to give a shout out to the woman who was supposed to play the real life Legend Slot at...
Fifth playlist in The Legend Slot lets goooo! I’m back to the solo artists for this month and am taking you through rock and pop legend David Bowie. David Bowie Born in London in 1947, David Bowie (born David Robert Jones) was a singer-songwriter and actor considered to be one of the most influential...
For the fourth playlist in The Legend Slot, I decided it was about time I featured a band. So far we’ve had Elton John, Kylie Minogue and Aretha Franklin. All completely different genres of music but all solo artists. We’ve had pop rock, full on pop and soul so far…and now I’m bringing you...
The queen of soul is here for my third playlist in The Legend Slot. That’s right Lady Soul herself, Aretha Franklin, is the third legend in this years series. In the words of the great Jack Black (in what is one of my favourite films EVER) “Everyone wants to party with Aretha!’. So, despite...
With February coming to an end it’s officially time for the next playlist in my new 2020 blog series The Legend Slot. Last month I kicked off the series with a 35-track playlist of what I thought were Elton John’s greatest tracks. I listened to every one of his studio albums throughout the month...
