[From All Music.com-Steve Huey] Although rooted in soul and R&B, Lionel Richie became a global superstar of the pop charts, blurring musical borders in the 1980s with solo hits like "All Night Long (All Night)," "Hello," and "Stuck on You," as well as chart-topping collaborations like the Diana Ross duet "Endless Love" and the star-studded charity single "We Are the World" which he co-wrote with Michael Jackson. A consummate singer, songwriter, and producer, Richie steered the Commodores into their most successful period, fronting the band on late-'70s hits like "Easy" and "Three Times a Lady" before making himself a household name as one of the most dominant male solo acts of the following decade. During his commercial peak, he proved himself a master of smooth romantic balladry, sending songs like "Truly" and the Oscar-winning "Say You, Say Me," to the top of the pop charts, though he also had a knack for more uptempo fare like 1986's "Dancing on the Ceiling."

Earth, Wind & Fire
[From All Music.com-Steve Huey] Earth, Wind & Fire were one of the most musically accomplished, critically acclaimed, and commercially popular funk bands of the '70s. Conceived by drummer, bandleader, songwriter, kalimba player, and occasional vocalist Maurice White, EWF's all-encompassing musical vision used funk as its foundation, but also incorporated jazz, smooth soul, gospel, pop, rock & roll, psychedelia, blues, folk, African music, and, later on, disco.
Earth, Wind & Fire
Boogie Wonderland
Lead singer Philip Bailey gave EWF an extra dimension with his talent for crooning sentimental ballads in addition to funk workouts; behind him, the band could harmonize like a smooth Motown group, work a simmering groove like the J.B.'s, and improvise like a jazz fusion outfit.

[From All Music.com-Eduardo Rivadavia] Melding surprisingly accessible metal- and pop-driven hard rock, costumed Swedish outfit Ghost deliver sonic sermons centered on horror imagery, the occult, and Satanic themes. The group is fronted by lead singer, songwriter, and conceptualist Tobias Forge, who dons various demonic Pope costumes and is backed by a band of "Nameless Ghouls" hidden in cloaks and heavy makeup. 2011's Opus Eponymous wed '70s hard rock to '80s hair metal in hook-laden songs. 2013's Infestissumam offered a keyboard-centric approach, melding progressive pop and alt metal. 2015's Meliora combined vintage FM rock, New Wave of British Heavy Metal, and edgy new wave influences, while 2018's Grammy-nominated Prequelle doubled down on the hooks, revealing ABBA's influence in a sound that combined the riffing bombast of Judas Priest and King Diamond. Ghost released their fifth effort, the international chart-topper Impera, in 2022, followed by the covers EP Phantomime in 2023.
Badflower
Ghost
Ghost was formed in 2006 in Linköping, Sweden by Forge, the former singer and guitarist for death metal band Repugnant. He wrote the song "Stand by Him" and contacted former bandmate Gustaf Lindström in early 2008 to assist him in properly recording it. They also wound up cutting two additional tracks, "Prime Mover" and "Death Knell." The Satanic and occult subject matter birthed a concept for Forge and he wanted the group to be an anonymous, theatrical rock band. As he enlisted other musicians, he costumed them in hooded robes and referred to them as "Nameless Ghouls." Read more @All Music.com (Click Here)

Founded in 1999, The Vienna Light Orchestra was created as a way to illuminate the world of orchestral music in a new light. Often heralded as the ‘capital of orchestral music,’ Vienna is a wonderful place for well-established enthusiasts who delight in the copious concerts available, and to those that are new to the genre who want to open their mind and discover the joys of immersing themself in a dramatic orchestral performance. The Vienna Light Orchestra has youthful, excited, talented musicians who perform from their hearts and touch hearts every evening.” - Producer, Steven Canyon
