Fire!! was an African-American literary magazine published in New York City in 1926 during the Harlem Renaissance. The publication was started by Wallace Thurman, Zora Neale Hurston, Aaron Douglas, John P. Davis, Richard Bruce Nugent, Gwendolyn Bennett, Lewis Grandison Alexander, Countee Cullen, and Langston Hughes. After it published one issue, its quarters burned down, and the magazine ended.
Fire!! was conceived to express the African-American experience during the Harlem Renaissance in a modern and realistic fashion, using literature as a vehicle of enlightenment. The magazine's founders wanted to express the changing attitudes of younger African Americans. In Fire!! they explored edgy issues in the Black community, such as homosexuality, bisexuality, interracial relationships, promiscuity, prostitution, and color prejudice.
Langston Hughes wrote that the name was intended to symbolize their goal "to burn up a lot of the old, dead conventional Negro-white ideas of the past ... into a realization of the existence of the younger Negro writers and artists, and provide us with an outlet for publication not available in the limited pages of the small Negro magazines then existing.". The magazine's headquarters burned to the ground shortly after it published its first issue. It ended operations.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer were an English progressive rock supergroup formed in London in 1970. The group consisted of keyboardist Keith Emerson, singer, guitarist, and producer Greg Lake, and drummer and percussionist Carl Palmer. They were one of the most popular and commercially successful progressive rock bands in the 1970s.
After forming in early 1970, the band came to prominence following their performance at the Isle of Wight Festival in August 1970. In their first year, the group signed with Atlantic Records and released Emerson, Lake & Palmer (1970) and Tarkus (1971), both of which reached the UK top five. The band's success continued with Pictures at an Exhibition (1971), Trilogy (1972), and Brain Salad Surgery (1973). After a three-year break, Emerson, Lake & Palmer released Works Volume 1 (1977) and Works Volume 2 (1977) which began their decline in popularity. After Love Beach (1978), the group disbanded in 1979.
They reformed in 1991 and released Black Moon (1992) and In the Hot Seat (1994). Emerson and Palmer continued in 1996 and toured until 1998. Lake returned in 2010 for the band's headline performance at the High Voltage Festival in London to commemorate the band's fortieth anniversary.

Supersonic was a British children's television music show which featured pop music artists of the day. Launched in 1975, it was produced by London Weekend Television for the ITV network and ran for two years. The show typically lasted 30 minutes and was broadcast, firstly, on Thursday afternoons - Series 1, Show 1: (4 September 1975) - Series 1, Show 18: The Supersonic Christmas Show 1975 (25 December 1975.) It was then moved to a Saturday afternoon slot from Series 1, Show 19: (3 January 1976.) The programme was devised and created by David Deyong and presented by film and music producer Mike Mansfield and the main theme was composed and sung by Andy Bown.
Although the show starred performers with songs in the music charts, the show, unlike its BBC rival Top of the Pops, was not chart-based. Whilst Top of the Pops ran all year, Supersonic had a limited run with season one consisting of 30 editions and season two consisting of 28.
The show was recorded in front of an audience of children at London Weekend's studios, then known as the South Bank Television Centre and used a laissez-faire style of production in which cameras were highly visible and areas such as the production gallery were featured. Its host also doubled up as producer and director, cueing in performances from the studio gallery instead of presenting conventional links to camera.
"Supersonic" is a 1988 single by J.J. Fad from their self-titled debut album. It reached #10 on the Billboard Hot Dance/Club Play Songs and #22 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart. "Supersonic" stayed on the dance charts for eight weeks. The song went gold, and also got nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance in 1989, making them the first all-female rap group to be nominated for a Grammy award.
"Denise" is a 1963 song by the American doo-wop group Randy & the Rainbows.
Randy & the Rainbows worked with the producers of The Tokens, releasing the single "Denise" in 1963. The song spent seventeen weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching no. 10, while reaching no. 18 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles, and no. 5 on Canada's CHUM Hit Parade.
"Denise" was written by Neil Levenson, and was inspired by his childhood friend, Denise Lefrak.
"Denis" (pronounced De-nee) was a 1977 gender-swapping cover of the song by the American new wave band Blondie. The cover of the song helped the band break into the international market. It featured on the band's second studio album, Plastic Letters (1978), and was the second UK single release by Blondie on Chrysalis records.
The initial Blondie version contained a verse with partly improvised lyrics in French by the group's vocalist Debbie Harry. Although Chrysalis insisted that the band re-record the song with a grammatically correct French translation, both the band and producer Richard Gottehrer preferred the first take. Harry stood her ground on the matter, and the version containing the "pidgin French" lyrics was released. The second, re-recorded version had its debut as a bonus track on EMI UK's 1994 re-issue of Plastic Letters.
ELP's adaptation of Aaron Copland's composition was released as a three minute single reaching No. 2 in the UK singles chart. This is the full recording.http://apple.co/29r79ab

Emerson, Lake & Palmer 40th Anniversary Reunion Concert, 2010
The supergroup "Emerson, Lake & Palmer" is one of most successful rock bands in the subgenre of the Progressive rock. The band members Keith Emerson (keyboards), Greg Lake (bass guitar) and Carl Palmer (drums) showed their musical virtuosity in interpretations of classical pieces like "Pictures of an Exhibiton" by Russian composer Modest Mussorgski. The live album with the same title, which was issued as a low-priced record in 1970, helped the band to enormous popularity in Europe and USA. The song "Knife-Edge" from their debut album "Emerson, Lake & Palmer" is loosely based on Leoš Janáček "Sinfonietta" (1926). And the middle section of the song features parts of Johann Sebastian Bachs "First French Suite in D minor" (known as Bach Works Catalogue No. 812). Ironically both composers were ...
