« Scusa se ho rubato il cestino, avevo fame!!! »
(lo sfogo di Den Harrow prima del ritiro dal reality show "L'isola dei famosi")
Sembra abbia scelto il suo nome artistico per l'ironica assonanza con la parola "denaro".
Den Harrow è uno frai più illustri cantanti rappresentativi della musica Italo disco.

I Jackson 5 (in originale The Jackson 5, a volte noti come The Jackson Five, abbreviati in J5, Jackson 5ive, The Jackson 5ive e successivamente The Jacksons) erano un gruppo musicale composto dai cinque fratelli Jackson di Gary, nell'Indiana, formatosi negli anni '60. I cinque componenti erano: Jackie, Jermaine, Tito, Marlon ed il più piccolo Michael, destinato in seguito ad una fortunatissima carriera solista.
Il gruppo suonava una musica allegra e, per i tempi, innovativa, un rhythm 'n' blues diverso da quello degli altri artisti dell'epoca come Otis Redding e James Brown. I fratelli Jackson cercavavano di fondere il funk dei neri alla musica bianca, un'unione che negli anni '70 influenzerà la nascita della discomusic.
Il gruppo si forma ufficialmente nel 1968, dopo aver vinto un concorso, ma la loro carriera iniziò nel 1963 suonando quasi tutte le sere in locali notturni. Registrano il loro primo singolo, "Big Boy" per la Steeltown, ma il loro primo successo fu "I want you back" nel 1969, seguito da "ABC" nel 1970. Il leader e cantante principale era il giovanissimo Michael Jackson, che all'epoca della nascita del gruppo aveva solo 11 anni (nato nel 1958). I Want You Back raggiunse il primo posto della classifica statunitense Billboard, scavalcando addirittura Let It Be dei Beatles.
Altre due canzoni successive reggiunsero la posizione numero uno, The Love You Save e I'll Be There.
Nel 1975, i Jackson si separarono dalla Motown, la loro prima etichetta discografica, e firmarono un contratto con la Epic, cambiando il loro nome in The Jacksons.

Blondie sono un gruppo rock statunitense, formatosi a New York nel 1975 per iniziativa di Chris Stein (chitarra) e Deborah Harry (testi e voce).
La musica del gruppo, che in seguito reclutò Clem Burke (batterista) e Jimmy Destri (tastiere), è un rock melodico con influssi di punk ed elettronica molto in voga all'epoca, mentre la voce è quella della cantante Debbie Harry (a cui è ispirato il nome del gruppo), che è anche l'elemento principale della band. Nonostante una carriera relativamente breve, lasciano il segno nel panorama della musica dell'epoca con dei successi come Call me e Heart of glass, resi celebri anche come colonne sonore di film e pubblicità. Tra i quali l'ultima campagna "Gucci by Gucci" firmata dal regista David Lynch e che ha come colonna sonora proprio il brano di Blondie "Heart of Glass".
******************************************************
I Blondie si sciolgono nel 1983, quando Debbie Harry decide di intraprendere una carriera da solista, tra l'altro senza grande successo. Decidono di riunirsi nel 1998 e L'anno dopo esce il singolo "Maria", destinato ad avere grande successo internazionale.
Il nome del gruppo, "Biondina", è dovuto al metro e 54 della cantante, come lei stessa ha affermato nella sua prima intervista ad MTV nel 1981

Alphaville is a German synthpop group which gained popularity in the 1980s. The founding members were Marian Gold (real name Hartwig Schierbaum, born May 26, 1954 in Herford), Bernhard Lloyd (real name Bernhard Gößling, born June 6, 1960 in Enger, North Rhine-Westphalia), and Frank Mertens (real name Frank Sorgatz, born October 26, 1961 in Enger, North Rhine-Westphalia). The band was at first named Forever Young before changing to Alphaville. They are best known for their two biggest hits, "Big in Japan" and "Forever Young".
Beginnings
In 1984, the re-named Alphaville released their debut single "Big in Japan", quickly followed by the album Forever Young. Despite its success, Frank Mertens left the band that year and was replaced by Ricky Echolette (born Wolfgang Neuhaus, in Cologne, August 6, 1960) in January 1985 – already credited in the "Forever Young" album. Marian Gold is still performing today.
"Big In Japan" was Alphaville's biggest hit, topping the charts in Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and the U.S. Billboard Dance Chart (the group's only success on any American chart), and reached the Top Five in Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Austria, Ireland and South Africa. It also became the group's only Top 20 single in the UK, peaking at #8.
The band's next two singles, "Sounds Like a Melody" and "Forever Young", were also both European Top 10 successes, although the latter track failed to make an impression on the
American charts.
Although there were reports that pop star Laura Branigan was featuring the song on her next album, Hold Me, Alphaville's "Forever Young" was re-released as a single in the US, but still proved unpopular. Branigan's version, though promoted on stickers adorning the album, subsequently remained an album cut in the US. She would go on to perform the song as an encore at nearly every concert she performed, until her death in 2004. The Alphaville version was released a third time in the US in 1988, to promote Alphaville: The Singles Collection, and peaked at #65, their highest charting (and also last) single on the Billboard Hot 100. International re-releases of Alphaville's "Forever Young" followed in 1989, 1996 and 2001. Several covers have been recorded and remixed, featuring male or female vocalists often erroneously attributed to be Alphaville's Marian Gold.
Afternoons in Utopia
In 1986, their second album, Afternoons in Utopia, was successfully released and its first single "Dance with Me" was a big international hit, reaching the Top 20 in Germany, France, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and South Africa, and n°25 in Austria. The LP was followed up in 1989 with The Breathtaking Blue, including the highly acclaimed singles (if not so successful chart hits) "Romeos" and "Mysteries of Love". The album was released as a CD+G, including black & white stills with original lyrics and German translation. As an alternative to individual music videos, the band enlisted nine producers, among them Godfrey Reggio (Koyaanisqatsi), to create a film entitled Songlines based on the album's tracks.
The next album, Prostitute, was not released until 1994. In 1996, Ricky Echolette left the band. Salvation, a back-to-the-root opus, followed in 1997. Stark Naked and Absolutely Live was released in 2000, followed by the remix album, Forever Pop the following year. A DVD – Little America – was released in 2001 documenting two concerts performed in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Projects
Bernhard Lloyd did not contribute to the CrazyShow album, and shortly after its release on March 18, 2003, he officially left the group. The current core stage members of Alphaville are Marian Gold (vocals), Martin Lister (keyboards), David Goodes (guitars) and Pierson Grange (drums).
Gold has released two solo albums (So Long Celeste, 1992 and United, 1996), alongside his work in the band, both mixing personal creations and covers.
Lloyd also worked on a project named Atlantic Popes with singer Max Holler, a 13-track CD. In 1996, Frank Mertens started a musical project called Maelstrom, which was a combination of ambient-style music, impressionistic and colorful art in the form of paintings and sculptures, and etheric poetry. This project seems now to have been abandoned, though, as Mertens has not been visibly active with it.
In the first part of 2006, Australian guitar band Youth Group took their remake of Forever Young to #1 in the Official Australian Charts, thanks in part to exposure the track had received from being on popular US TV series The O.C.'s fifth TV soundtrack CD.
At present the band are still touring and working on new material and have just re-signed with WEA. Song titles for the next release include "Gallery", "Around the Universe", "My Very Blood", and "Sweet Dreams".

During this, the camera makes a series of rolling panning shots, suggesting that the band is inside a ping-pong ball.
