6. Frank Sinatra \u2013 \u201cSongs for young lovers\u201d (1954)<\/h2>\n

\"legend,<\/p>\n

Sweet Ol\u2019 Blue Eyes\u2026 in case you didn\u2019t know that was one of Frank Sinatra\u2019s nick names. Who doesn\u2019t love him? An American icon, huge and numerous hits, starring in many classic movies, a true example of a complex artist. His career began as a swing boy singer alongside Harry James and Tommy Dorsey, while his solo success started taking shape after being signed by Columbia Records,<\/a> back in 1943.<\/p>\n

Washed Up Career<\/h2>\n

Despite his staggering success, the end of the 40\u2019s was not at all kind to Frank. His style was going out of fashion and America was feeling it, they were steadily heading away from the style of Sinatra. His personal life was also a deterrent for the public, having reportedly tied with the mafia and divorcing his wife, with whom he had fostered three kids<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moreover, his affair with Ava Gardner<\/a> was made public, striking even a deeper blow to the image of the artist. Also his voice was getting weaker and that didn\u2019t sit well with the records label. By the start of the 1950\u2019s, his career was washed up; no movie contracts or record labels.<\/p>\n

Breakthrough<\/h2>\n

“ Frank's career was washed up ”<\/p>\n

\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The year of 1953 saw a breakthrough for Frank. His role in the movie \u201cFrom Here to Eternity<\/a>\u201d won him the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, reigniting the interest for the person of Frank Sinatra in the public eye. The follow-up was a new record deal with Capitol Records, contract which was more to his liking, given the artistic liberty that was provided this way to him.<\/p>\n

The first album recorded with Capital Records was also his comeback to the mainstream of the U.S. musical industry. It was called \u201cSongs For Young Lovers<\/a>\u201d and was made in collaboration with Nelson Riddle, a band conductor, with whom, over the next 20 years, he produced some of greatest hits of his career.<\/p>\n

When he started working with capitol, Sinatra started focusing his albums on a single mood\/theme, a concept that was considered rather risky at the time, even if today it is quite common to see such albums. He released 16 albums following this concept, awarding his daring enterprises with glory and fame, while also putting him amongst the stars of the American music culture.<\/p>\n

5. Red Hot Chili Peppers \u2013 \u201cCalifornication\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"famous<\/p>\n

Nothing spells good times better than the Red Hot Chili Peppers, though their success was not always all time high. Even though the astonishing sound of \u201cBlood Sugar Sex Magik<\/a>\u201d brought the four a lot of appraisal from both critics and public, the following years only shined by means of the album\u2019s aftermath, the band itself was going through some rough times.<\/p>\n

John Frusciante<\/a> was not in his best mood while still trying to jump-start his solo career and the same could have been said about his fellow band members, who also felt at an all-time low.\u00a0 The album that followed \u201cBlood Sugar Sex Magik\u201d, \u201cOne Hot Minute\u201d, was made possible via a collaboration with guitarist Dave Navaro of Jane\u2019s Addiction.<\/p>\n

Even though it sounded surprisingly good, something was missing, and everybody felt it. All the band members felt the need to resuscitate the project, including Frusciante, whom was swayed back in the fold by Flea. And thus Red Hot Chili Peppers were \u201chot\u201d once more.<\/p>\n

Magical Hands<\/h2>\n

The resuscitation of the band was aided by Rick Rubin<\/a>\u2019s magical hands, as he has a nick for getting people of their feet and making their careers shine once more. The themes that the album approached varied from: lust to death, drugs, California, Globalization, travel and contemplations of suicide.<\/p>\n

The album aired on June 8, 1999, on Warner Bros. Records and is credited to be the band\u2019s most successfully commercial album, with over 15 million copies being distributed world-wide, 5 million alone being sold only in the U.S. The lyrics of \u201cCalifornication<\/a>\u201d were a result of Anthony Kiedis<\/a>\u2019 ideas, perceptions on life, backed by his native-American heritage. It still stands today as one of the most influential pieces of music in the funk-rock niche.<\/p>\n
