Elvis
The King of Rock and Roll definitely deserves a spot on our list, of course! He is considered the pioneer of the subgenre rockabilly. It is characterized by its uptempo combination of rhythm, blues, and country music. Needless to say, he is considered one of the biggest musicians of the century. He is, in fact, the best-selling solo artist in history!
Santana
Carlos Santana first became famous with their Woodstock performance of “Soul Sacrifice”. The exposure they received from the show led to the creation of their self-titled first album. Santana’s involvement with Sri Chinmoy lent their sound an esoteric influence, though they never lost their Latin sound either.
