Whitney Houston. Screw the influences angle that supposedly got her in. She had zilch influence on R&R artists.
How do we define rock and roll?
Is Billy Joel considered rock? Barry Manilow? Bee Gees? Elvis? Beatles? Van Halen? Olivia Newton John, Elton John? Is there a certain definition of rock or rock and roll?
I’ve been called out by some people for talking of rock and roll, because they said some singers are rock, not rock and roll. I have no clue what that distinction is.
