Check out the rockmentaries on The History Channel Sundays
|
AFTER CASTLES, kings, queens, presidents, quaint markets, monuments and Western classical music, The History Channel has moved on to rock, pop, rock 'n' roll, country, and blues and you can get to see it from this month every Sunday at 8 p.m.. This is the channel's December's special offering, History Rocks, on music legends.
"History needs to be taken out of the textbooks and made more attractive to viewers. History is not only about wars and politics. It's about lives around us — about fashion, lifestyle, movies, and music," says Dilshad Master, Senior VP, Content and Communication, The History Channel. The series commenced on December 5 with Bob Dylan, followed by Mick Jagger.
The coming Sundays you can get to see the lives and careers of the likes of Carlos Santana, Nat King Cole and Kenny Rogers. There is also music memorabilia from yesteryears one can catch.
DECEMBER 19: 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Jon Bon Jovi: Never looked back from when he was 13 coming from the working class town of Sayreville, New Jersey.
Kenny Rogers: Learnt the guitar and fiddle from his uncles. First band in school, first two singles in 1958 that brought him to the American Bandstand, and big-time fame after Islands in the Stream in 1984 with Dolly Parton.
DECEMBER 26: 8 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Nat King Cole: One of the finest voices of the Sixties/Seventies eras who took the risk of breaking conventions in music.
