Did you know? The phrase "eight days a week" came from drummer Ringo Starr, who used it to describe how busy he was. The Beatles loved it so much they turned it into one of their biggest hits.

Buddy Holly recorded this song when he was just 21 years old. Its gentle rhythm and timeless melody about love growing stronger every day have made it a favorite for generations of musicians. 

Before Santana became famous for soaring guitar solos, "Evil Ways" introduced audiences to the band's unforgettable blend of rock, blues, and Latin rhythms.

This catchy tune became a Jazz Age favorite nearly 100 years ago. Chances are, you've heard the melody before. Even if you didn't know it's name!

Johnny Cash never served time at Folsom Prison, but after performing there in 1968, the prison concert became one of the most celebrated live music albums in music history.

This uplifting song that encourages optimism and resilience, became the signature tune of the Carter Family, often called the "First Family of Country Music," and has inspired listeners for nearly a century.

Ringo Starr wrote this song after learning that octopuses sometimes gather shells and treasures to decorate the areas around their homes. Creating their own little "gardens."

This Oscar-winning song was featured during the famous bicycle scene in  Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and became one of the happiest songs of its era.

Neil Diamond found inspiration for this hit while listening to Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21. He believed simple songs often become the ones people remember and sing together.

Woody Guthrie wrote this song as a hopeful celebration of America's landscapes and people. Today, it's one of the country's most recognizable folk songs.

Patsy Cline almost didn't record this song, but after performing it on national television, audience demand helped launch her career into country music history.
