"Mick Jagger's" career has spanned over 50 years. His performance style has been said to have "opened up definitions of gendered masculinity and so laid the foundations for self-invention and sexual plasticity which are now an integral part of contemporary youth culture" In 2006, he was ranked by Hit Parader as the fifteenth greatest heavy metal singer of all time, despite not being associated with the genre. Allmusic has described "Jagger" as "one of the most popular and influential frontmen in the history of rock & roll". His distinctive voice and performance, along with Keith Richards' guitar style, have been the trademark of The Rolling Stones throughout their career.
"Talk Talk" was an English musical group, active from 1981 to 1991. The group had a string of international hit singles including "Today", "Talk Talk", "It's My Life", " Such A Shame", "Dum Dum Girl", "Life's What You Make It" and "Living in Another World". In their later years the band's commercial appeal receded, and their critical reputation increased as they moved from synthpop to a more experimental form. Their last two albums, "Spirit Of Eden" and "Laughing Stock", were highly acclaimed and remain influential to experimental alternative rock genres.

After starting out as an unsuccessful pop singer (working under the name "Vance Arnold"), "Joe Cocker" found his niche singing rock and soul in the pubs of England with his superb backing group, the "Grease Band". He hit number one in the U.K. in November 1968 with his version of the Beatles' "A Little Help from My Friends". His career really took off after he sang that song at the Woodstock festival in August 1969.
