2.10ELTON JOHN
Is an English pianist, singer-songwriter and composer. He has worked with
lyricist Bernie Taupin as his songwriting partner since 1967; they have collaborated on
more than 30 albums to date. In his five-decade career Elton John has sold more than
300 million records, making him one of the best-selling music artists in the world.[4]
[5] He has more than fifty Top 40 hits, including seven consecutive No. 1 US
albums, 58 Billboard Top 40 singles, 27 Top 10, four No. 2 and nine No. 1. For 31
consecutive years (19702000) he had at least one song in the Billboard Hot 100. His
single "Candle in the Wind 1997" sold over 33 million copies worldwide and is the bestselling single in the history of the UK and US singles charts.
2.11ROBERT JOHNSON
He was an American blues singer-songwriter and musician. His landmark recordings in
1936 and 1937 display a combination of singing, guitar skills, and songwriting talent that
has influenced later generations of musicians. Johnson's shadowy and poorly
documented life and death at age 27 have given rise to much legend, including
the Faustian myth that he sold his soul to the devil at a crossroads to achieve
success. As an itinerant performer who played mostly on street corners, in juke
joints, and at Saturday night dances, Johnson had little commercial success or public
recognition in his lifetime.
