Season 23 of American Idol continued the audition phase on Sunday night as judges Carrie Underwood, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan traveled to New York, Los Angeles, and Nashville to find music's next superstar. The two-hour episode aired Sunday, March 16 (8 p.m. Et/Pt) with Ryan Seacrest hosting.

Country singer Bryson Quick made one of the night's strongest impressions with his rendition of "Time" by Pink Floyd. The 17-year-old from Seymour, Tenn. strolled on set and revealed that his father, Alex, worked as Luke's fishing guide at Blackberry Farm. "He took you fishing several times," Bryson told the judge — with a photo to prove it. Carrie then jumped in the conversation, bragging, "I've been fishing at Blackberry Farm. I didn't need a guide, though."

Following Bryson's impressive performance, Carrie commented, "Whenever I hear somebody come in who wants to be part of the country crowd, I always think about hearing their...

Jerry “The Iceman” Butler, who had a national hit with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame act The Impressions before leaving for a successful solo career and later entering Chicago politics, died Thursday at his home, The Chicago Sun-Times reported. He was 85. No cause of death was reported, but Butler had been struggling with Parkinson’s disease.

Born on December 8, 1939 in Chicago, Butler met Curtis Mayfield in the early 1950s, and they later teamed with Sam Gooden and brothers Richard and Arthur Brooks in a doo-wop group before changing their name to The Impressions and signing with Vee-Jay Records. The group hit with its first single, 1958’s “For Your Precious Love,” driven by Butler’s soulful lead vocal. Co-written by Butler and Brooks brothers, reached No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 3 on the soul chart. It ranked No. 335 on Rolling Stone‘s 2003 list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All...

In the history of Saturday Night Live, was anything as secretive and anticipated as the moment this season right before Timothée Chalamet appeared onstage to sing the first of three Bob Dylan numbers? Which songs would they be? How would he sound? For me, it was all strangely familiar — a throwback to the moment when a lucky bunch of us in the SNL audience witnessed a complete-unknown music moment of its time, and from an equally unexpected source.

I can’t remember how we knew about it, but in the...

Named after the ancient city in Egypt, Memphis, Tennessee, has a historic reputation as a rowdy, Mississippi River town. It is also well known for the colorful characters that have made indelible imprints on the music scene. Considered to be the place you go to if you really value music and nightlife, Memphis’ musical joie de vivre radiates from the inside out. Rock and blues likely come to mind first for many, but the city’s legacy includes soul, jazz, power pop, hip-hop, punk, alternative and gospel that shaped the national music scene.

Seated behind his organ at Stax Records’ recording studio in Memphis in the Sixties, Booker T. Jones was a first-hand witness to musical history. As part of Booker T. and the Mg’s, Stax’s house band, Jones played on soul landmarks by Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Carla Thomas and especially Sam & Dave. Two days ago, Jones heard, like most of the world, that Sam Moore had died at the age of 89, depriving American music of another legend. (His on-and-off musical partner Dave Prater died in 1988.)

With Dolly Parton and Eminem having been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in recent years, there’s been debate in some circles about the organization dropping the “rock and roll” part of its name. In a recent interview with Vulture, Rock Hall chairman John Sykes pushed back against the idea, saying it was important to “communicate that rock and roll is open to all.”

“I think it’s because some people don’t understand the meaning of rock and roll,” Sykes said. “If you go back to the original sound in the ’50s, it was everything. As Missy Elliot calls it, it was a gumbo. It just became known as rock and roll. So when I hear people say, ‘You should just change it to the Music Hall of Fame,’ rock and roll has pretty much covered all of that territory. Rather than throwing the name out,...

Richard Perry, a hitmaking record producer with a flair for both standards and contemporary sounds whose many successes included Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain,” Rod Stewart’s “The Great American Songbook” series and a Ringo Starr album featuring all four Beatles, died Tuesday. He was 82.

Perry, a recipient of a Grammys Trustee Award in 2015, died at a Los Angeles hospital after suffering cardiac arrest, friend Daphna Kastner said.

“He maximized his time here,” said Kastner, who called him a “father friend” and said he was godfather to her son. “He was generous, fun, sweet and made the world a better place. The world is a little less sweeter without him here. But it’s a little bit sweeter in heaven.”

Perry was a onetime drummer, oboist and doo-wop singer who proved at home with a wide variety of musical styles, the rare producer to have No. 1 hits on the pop,...

One of the most anticipated new films of this Christmas season has been A Complete Unknown, the folk music film that features Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan. The film culminates with his infamous performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, which is exactly the year that Dylan began participating in what would become Don't Look Back. The D.A. Pennebaker film differentiates itself from other Dylan documentaries and concert films. It's a perfect "portrait of the artist as a young man," and while it captures some incredible music, it's more about Dylan's persona and PR.

Don't Look Back is now streaming for free on The Criterion Channel. The film is also a part of The Criterion Collection, featuring a glorious 4K remaster of the film with hours upon hours of special features. They describe Don't Look Back in this way:

As anyone who’s recently attended a show by Foreigner or Lynyrd Skynyrd knows, it’s become as common as a guitar solo to see a classic rock & roll outfit without any original members in the lineup. But what few may realize is that the template for that concept may have started 80 years ago today — with the death of a big-band musician.

On Dec. 15, 1944, Glenn Miller, one of the kings of the big-band scene — the dance-pop of its time — stepped aboard a military plane to cross the English Channel from England to France.

If “We Are the World” marked The Greatest Night in Pop, then the Monterey International Pop Festival can easily be considered one of the most remarkable weekends in rock history. Yes, Otis Redding gave the performance of a lifetime and Ravi Shankar secured his legendary status, but it was Jimi Hendrix whose set goes down in history as fire, culminating in him setting his guitar ablaze during a transcendent rendition of “Wild Thing.” That night will no doubt be part of the upcoming doc about the life, times and experiences of Jimi Hendrix.

Director Bao Nguyen – who was also behind the Bruce Lee doc Be Water – said of his approach to his Jimi Hendrix film, “Telling the story of Jimi Hendrix during his pivotal years in London is both a profound honor and a unique responsibility.

Released in 1987 to positive reviews, Dirty Dancing is set in 1963 and follows Frances "Baby" Housemen as she falls in love with a dance instructor while staying at a vacation resort. The movie delivers on its title and is a perfect mix of quintessential star-crossed romance and strong dance performances from stars Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey. Though the film became a 1980s staple, the Dirty Dancing songs have stood the test of time.

Stax: Soulsville U.S.A., Jamila Wignot’s four-part HBO documentary about the legendary Memphis record label that produced Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, and others, offers incredible first-person stories. At one point, Booker T. Jones sits at a piano and shows exactly how he stumbled on the chords that became the 1962 chart-topper “Green Onions.”

But not long after she began working on the project, Wignot realized the story of Stax went much deeper. The label, which began (as Satellite Records) in 1957 and closed in 1975, spanned an intensely tumultuous period in American history,...

In a small record store on McLemore Avenue, the soulful sound of Stax Records was born. This former movie theater in the South Memphis neighborhood might not have seemed the likeliest spot to launch a musical revolution. But in the 1960s, under the leadership of siblings Jim Stewart and Estelle Axton, this unassuming storefront became the epicenter of a new genre—Southern soul.

With artists like Otis Redding, Carla Thomas, and The Bar-Kays laying down tracks in the studio upstairs, Stax developed a raw, funky sound unlike anything coming out of Motown up north. Male-female duos like Sam & Dave brought the noise with rousing call-and-response songs, while the house band Booker T. & the MGs laid down some of the tightest grooves in popular music. It was soul music perfected for the church and the dance hall.

This documentary series, directed by Jamila Wignot, shines a light on the glory days...

Jonathan Majors is still open to reprising his slated role of Kang the Conqueror for the MCU — that is, if Marvel would have him back.

Majors was fired from Marvel parent company Walt Disney Co. after being found guilty of assault and harassment in December 2023. The actor had appeared as Kang in “Loki” Season 2 and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.” The character was set to lead two MCU installments, “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty” and “Avengers: Secret Wars,” to bring in the new Phase of the franchise.

After his firing, rumors circulated that Majors was going to be recast. Instead, it was announced that Robert Downey Jr. would instead be playing the new MCU baddie Doctor Doom, with the upcoming “Avengers” film retitled “Avengers: Doomsday.” Academy Award winner Downey previously played Iron Man for more than a decade in the MCU.

However, Downey being back doesn’t mean that Majors is giving up hope.

You don’t have to be an expert on classic soul and R&b to recognize the American music monuments that emerged from Stax Records in the Sixties and Seventies. Sam & Dave’s “Soul Man,” Otis Redding’s “Respect” and “(Sittin’ on) The Dock of the Bay,” Isaac Hayes’ “Theme From Shaft,” and the Staple Singers’ “I’ll Take You There” — just a few of Stax’s greatest hits — made the case that the Memphis-based record company was the Southern version of Motown.

Whether anyone fully realizes that is another matter.
