'''Carol Klein''' was born in Brooklyn, New York on February 9, 1942. At James Madison High School, she played piano and formed a girl group called the Co-Sines. At Queens College, Carole met '''Paul Simon''', '''Gerry Goffin''' and '''Neil Sedaka''' (inspiring Sedaka’s 1959 hit “Oh Carol”). She married Goffin and in 1960 the two wrote their first of many hits together, The Shirelles’ chart-topping “Will You Love Me Tomorrow.” Others included Bobby Vee’s “Take Good Care Of My Baby” (1961), Little Eva’s “The Locomotion” (1962), Steve Lawrence’s “Go Away Little Girl” (1962), The Chiffons’ “One Fine Day” (1963), The Drifters’ “Up on the Roof” (1963), The Monkees’ “Pleasant Valley Sunday” (1967) and Aretha Franklin’s “A Natural Woman” (1967).

Aside from a single hit in 1962 (“It Might As Well Rain Until September”), Carole’s own singing career seemed destined to never take off. She finally divorced Gerry, married Charles Larkey and moved to California. In 1971, though, everything turned around. Her album Tapestry became a #1 LP, selling over 22 million copies and earned four Grammy Awards. It featured four major hits: “It’s Too Late,” “I Feel The Earth Move,” “So Far Away” and “Smackwater Jack.”

After that the hits just kept on coming: “Sweet Seasons” and “Been To Canaan” (1972), “Believe In Humanity” and “Corazon” (1973), “Jazzman” (1974), “Nightingale” (1975), “Only Love Is Real” (1976) and “Hard Rock Café” (1977). Also in ’77 she married another songwriter, Rick Evans, who died of a cocaine overdose the following year.

Carole’s last major hit was her own 1980 version of “One Fine Day,” which she and Gerry had originally written for Little Eva but instead given to The Chiffons. King was largely inactive in the ‘80s and ‘90s, but did appear in shows both on and off-Broadway (A Minor Incident, Blood Brothers). In 1996, her life inspired the movie Grace Of My Heart, the story of a young woman who dreams of a singing career while writing hits for others. In the film, as in real life, the heroine’s dreams do come true in the last reel.

Except, that is, at The Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame. Incredibly, when Carole King was inducted in 1990, it was as a NON-performer! The Hall of Fame, in its infinite wisdom, chose to honor Carole ONLY for her songwriting, completely ignoring her spectacular success as one of the largest selling female vocalists of the 1970s.

Carole King is a 2008 nominee at the Hit Parade Hall of Fame.

'''Gale Storm''' was born '''Josephine Cottle''' in Bloomington, Texas on April 5, 1922. In 1939, while still a high school student, she won a “Gateway To Hollywood” talent contest that led to roles in 37 movies between 1940 and 1952. It also led to marriage -- to the male winner of that very same contest, Lee Bonnell. Gale Storm’s pert and peppy personality was best showcased in her two hit sitcoms of the 1950s: My Little Margie (1952-5) and The Gale Storm Show (a/k/a Oh Susanna!) (1956-60).

Between those two series, Gale hosted The NBC Comedy Hour and appeared on other programs -- including one watched in the home of Dot Records owner '''Randy Wood'''. “His daughter Linda, who was about 12, saw me guesting on Gordon MacRae’s television show,” Gale wrote in her autobiography. “She called her dad in to see ‘My Little Margie’ singing on TV.” Wood phoned Storm, kicking off her recording career.

“Mostly I just covered records that were hits or looked like they were going to be,” Gale recalled. “My first hit record was ‘I Hear You Knockin’. It was her 1955 million-selling cover of a then-current R&B hit by Smiley Lewis. Storm later covered Dean Martin’s “Memories Are Made Of This,” Gloria Mann’s “Teen-Age Prayer,” The Teenagers’ “Why Do Fools Fall In Love” and The Charms’ “Ivory Tower.”

In the studio, Storm simply followed the dictates of Randy Wood and the leader of Dot’s house band, '''Billy Vaughn'''. “When I did ‘Dark Moon’ [in 1957] I did protest,” Gale wrote. “Bonnie Guitar has not only written it and recorded it but I liked her record.” What made the whole thing surprising was the fact that Bonnie’s hit was then on the charts -- on the Dot label! “I refused to do it unless she gave me permission herself,” said Storm. “By golly, they brought her to the studio and she did give it to me.” Gale’s record climbed to #4, while Bonnie’s peaked at #6.

“I only recorded for 18 months,” wrote Storm. “I loved everything about the business -- learning new songs, developing a style, going into the studio, working with backup singers and an orchestra… It was an enormously exciting experience that sends shivers down my spine when I think about it.”

With her TV run ending in 1960 Gale Storm turned to dinner theatre.

She is honored with three stars on Hollywood's Walk of Fame -- one for radio, one for TV and one for recording.

'''Richard Carpenter''' was born in New Haven, Connecticut on October 15, 1946. His sister '''Karen Carpenter''' was born March 2, 1950. In 1963 their family moved to Downey near Los Angeles.

In 1965, Richard and Karen teamed with Wes Jacobs, a bass player who doubled on tuba, to form The Carpenter Trio, who played mostly instrumental jazz. Their first record was a vocal credited to Karen Carpenter issued by the small Magic Lamp label in 1966.

In 1969, the Carpenters signed as a duo to A&M Records and released the album “Offering”, which contained their innovative arrangement of the Beatles’ “Ticket To Ride”.

After touring with Burt Bacharach, they recorded “Close To You”, a song he had written with Hal David that had originally been on a Dionne Warwick album. Within six weeks of its release in 1970 it reached #1 and eventually sold three million copies. The song won a Grammy, as did the Carpenters as Best New Artist. From the “Close To You” album, a song written as a bank commercial “We’ve Only Just Begun” became their second million seller. “Merry Christmas Baby” was released at the holiday season and quickly became a standard.

The following year “For All We Know”, “Rainy Days And Mondays” and “Superstar” all became million selling singles. Their album “Carpenters” won the a Grammy that same year

Their 1972 hits included “Hurting Each Other” and “It’s Going To Take Some Time” and “Goodbye To Love”. In 1973 they were on the charts with “Sing”, “Yesterday Once More” and “Top Of The World”.

In 1975, the Carpenters’ version of “Please Mr. Postman” was another million seller and their biggest selling worldwide single. “Only Yesterday” was another hit that year and their album “Horizon” sold over a million copies.

Other Carpenter hits include “Kind Of A Hush” (1976), “All You Get From Love Is A Love Song”, “Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft” and “Sweet Sweet Smile” (all 1977). That same year their “Passages” lp earned a gold record. “Touch Me When We’re Dancing” became their final top ten hit in 1981.

'''Ruth Lee Jones''' was born at Tuscaloosa, Alabama on August 29, 1934, moving to Chicago while still a child she played piano and directed her church choir before as a teenager she joined Lionel Hampton’s band as '''Dinah Washington'''.

Dinah's distinct style and voice was her trademark as she landed on the R&B charts in the early 1950’s with “I Concentrate On You,” “If It's the Last Thing I Do,” “That's All I Want From You,” “You Might Have Told Me,” “I'm Lost Without You Tonight" and “Soft Winds.”

In the summer of 1959 Dinah Washington’s “What A Difference A Day Makes” started a 20 week long run on the charts as her first million seller, a song that would also earn her a Grammy Award for Best Rhythm and Blues Performance. The following year, teaming up with Brook Benton in 1960, their “Baby, You Got What It Takes” and “A Rockin’ Good Way” both garnered gold as top five pop singles.

Still more Hit Parade success as “This Bitter Earth,” “Love Walked In,” “September In The Rain” and “Where Are You” were among Dinah’s more than two dozen chart hits.

Dinah Washington died at just 39 years of age on December 14, 1963 from an accidental overdose of prescription sleeping medication ingested on an empty stomach.

Dinah Washington is a 2008 nominee at the Hit Parade Hall of Fame.

'''Donald Eugene Gibson''' was born in Shelby, North Carolina on April 3, 1928 into a poor working class family. With a limited formal education, his career as a singer/songwriter began by performing in local clubs and on the radio.

Moving to Tennessee as a young man he joined the KNOX barn dance in Knoxville before recording his own composition, “Oh Lonesome Me” in Nashville. It would be a chart topping hit on both the country and pop Hit Parade in 1958. It was followed by another song Don wrote, a top ten country hit, “I Can’t Stop Loving You,” that would later become a #1 world wide hit for Ray Charles. “Blue Blue Day,” “Give Myself A Party” and “Look Who’s Blue” were also hits in 1958.

With more than eighty country and pop hits to his credit, including “Sweet Dreams” in 1960, “Sea of Heartbreak”and “Lonesome #1” in 1961 and his #1 “Woman, Sensuous Woman” in 1972, Gibson also had success singing duets with Dottie West and Sue Thompson.

In 1973, he was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and prior to his death at 75 years of age on November 17, 2003, Don Gibson was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2001.

Credited with creating and popularizing the folk music craze of the early 1960’s, the '''Kingston Trio''' was three northern California college buddies. '''Dave Guard''', born on October 19, 1934, wrote songs and played banjo with two guitarist, Hawaii born '''Robert Schoen''', known as '''Bob Shane''' (February 1, 1934) who also played bongo’s and San Diego native Nick Reynolds, born July 27, 1933.

Their big break came as performers at the San Francisco’s Purple Onion. Signed by Capitol Records, the Kingston Trio leaped to the top of the Hit Parade in 1958 with the multi million selling “Tom Dooley,” a song that stayed on the best selling charts for 21 consecutive weeks.

The following year “The Tijuana Jail,” “M.T.A.” and “A Worried Man” each reached the top ten as the threesome also exploded with album sales, four LP’s in the top ten during the same period of time. In 1963, “Reverend Mr. Black” earned more gold for the trio.

Among their single hits was, “Bad Man Blunder,” “El Matador,” “Where Have All The Flowers Gone,” “Scotch and Soda,” “Desert Pete” and “Greenback Dollar.”

Winners of two Grammy Awards, the original Kingston Trio disbanded after a final performance in 1967. They were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2000.

In 1991, Dave Guard died of lymphatic cancer.

'''Paul Frederic Simon''' was born on October 13, 1941 in Newark, New Jersey, moving to Queens in New York City, where while attending elementary school he met New Yorker '''Arthur Garfunkel''' who was also born in 1941 on November 5th.

Naming themselves Tom & Jerry, in 1957 they first tasted success as recording artists when their “Hey Schoolgirl” was a minor hit. After graduating from high school, Simon attended Queens College, while Garfunkel chose Columbia University in Manhattan.

Signed by Columbia Records in 1964, Simon and Garfunkel's first album, “Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.” initially received little attention until radio stations began airing “The Sounds of Silence,” that would eventually climb to the top of the national Hit Parade, giving Simon and Garfunkle their first million selling single in 1966. In that same year it was followed by four more big hits, a second gold record for “Homeward Bound,” “I Am A Rock,” “The Dangling conversation” and “A Hazy Shade of Winter.” In 1967, “At The Zoo” hit the charts with “Scarborough Fair” and another chart topper from the motion picture The Graduate, “Mrs. Robinson.” Radio saturated the airwaves with “The Boxer” in 1969, giving the duo another top ten hit but it was in the next year, 1970, Simon & Garfunkle’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water” leaped to the top of the Hit Parade “Cecilia” and “El Condor Pasa” following. “My Little Town” earned more gold in 1975.

Their Greatest Hits album has sold in excess of 15 million copies in the United States alone.

In 1971, their “Bridge Over Troubled Water” album gave them Grammy’s for album and single of the year and Song of the Year.”

In 1990 Simon and Garfunkle was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Greetings Aschlafly,

I'm not sure this is where you expect me to "explain myself"...but here goes....

I must admit posting any information on Conservapetia is perhaps more than I know how to do.
I was excited in learning of Conservapedia, but shocked at the lack of information on the site.
So, as a life long radio broadcasters of legendary status I first began by posting some information on
myself. Only to find it has not been accepted.

As the creator and owner of the Hit Parade Hall of Fame, I assumed adding bio's on the artists that I
wrote myself and use on that site, would be helpful to Conservapedia visitors since the information on
most all of the nominees and inductees of the Hit Parade Hall of Fame are not posted here.

I'm wrong again, since you now inform me of my last chance to explain myself before I'm blocked.

Look, I'm trying to be of help. If you don't what to take advantage of my vast knowledge and personal
experiences with many, many celebrities in both radio and recorded music. Then so be it. Block me
if you want. If you instead understand that I personally have written everything I have posted
here and decide that it is of value to visitors to this site, then let me know.

== Wiki editing ==

It's obvious that you are new to Wiki editing, and we don't expect new editors to become experts on it before they edit, but there are some things that you are doing wrong that I'd like to sort out straight away.

* Do not start a new post with a line of equals signs (============). Equals signs at the start of a line indicate a heading in Wiki software, and the software automatically uses these headings to create a table of contents (once there is at least three such headings). A line of equals signs shows up poorly in the Contents.
* If you are starting a new section, use two equals signs ''each end'' of some text that will be the heading for the section. If you click on the 'Edit' link to the right of the heading of this section, you will see how I put in the "Wiki editing" heading. (A sub-heading under and existing heading has three equals signs each end, and so on.)
* In having conversations on talk pages (such as right here), it's normal to indent your message from the previous one by starting each line with a colon, or with one extra colon than the previous post. For example (click the edit button again to see how I did this):
: This line is indented.
:: This line is indented further.
* It's good practice to "sign" your messages with four tildes ({{tt|<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>}}), or by using the signature button on the editing toolbar (which does pretty much the same thing). You can alter the content of that signature on your user preferences page. If you want help with that, please ask.
* If you are starting a new conversation on a talk page, it should go at the end of the talk page. A simple way to do this is to click the "+" tab at the top of the talk page. In this case, you don't need to put the equals signs around the heading; the software will do it for you.
Anyway, I've hit you with enough for now. happy editing.

[[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 05:45, 31 December 2007 (EST)

==Ugh :P==

Could you please bold the title names (whatever they're called) in your articles? I've boldened a few, but wow you have so many. Also, people have the (xxxx-xxxx) birth and death date next to their names in most articles here, but I didn't want to disrupt or move around your text. Just a heads up I suppose. :D

Sadly, I don't know any of those names in the articles, not even the bands. lol [[User:LardoBolger|LardoBolger]] 13:00, 31 December 2007 (EST)

WOW, Thank you so much for the lesson on using these pages.

As a senior, senior, past the retirement age but unwilling to do so, I'm attempting to do
what others have done for me throughout my years of being a business executive.

I've printed out your directions to study and hopefully follow in future postings.

Now, I'll save this and check to see if it appears I'm on the right track.

Happy New Year !
