Rock and Roll Hall of Fame names new members

STEVE EMBER: Welcome to THIS IS AMERICA in VOA Special English. I'm Steve Ember.

FAITH LAPIDUS: And I'm Faith Lapidus. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame welcomed new members into its highly respected club last week. The ceremony took place March 14th at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York City. It was recorded for a television broadcast Sunday night. Today we take a look at the five performers inducted into the Hall of Fame and play some of their music.

(MUSIC)

STEVE EMBER: The shock rock band Alice Cooper is among the new members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The band is as well known for its extraordinary stage performances as it is for its music. Alice Cooper's extreme clothing, face make-up, fake blood and crazy behavior have entertained audiences for nearly 50 years. Lead singer Vincent Furnier's snake was often part of the stage act. Alice Cooper concerts were like funny horror shows set to music.

FAITH LAPIDUS: The five-member band began playing music together as high school students in Phoenix, Arizona. They took the name Alice Cooper in 1968. Their 1972 song "School's Out" was their first major hit.

(MUSIC)

STEVE EMBER: Years later, lead singer Vincent Furnier had his name legally changed to Alice Cooper. He became an equally successful solo artist after the band broke up. "Welcome to My Nightmare" was his first solo album in 1975. "Only Women Bleed" was his first solo hit.

(MUSIC)

FAITH LAPIDUS: Louisiana native Dr. John also gives unusual stage performances. He is popular for his carnival-like Mardi Gras costumes and performances. Many of them include ceremonies involving a special kind of magic or witchcraft known as voodoo. Dr. John began his music career in the 1950s. He combines several different kinds of music, including blues, pop, rock, folk and a special music of Louisiana called Zydeco.

Dr. John's first album, "Gris Gris," was released in 1968. Many critics say it is still his best. Rolling Stone magazine ranked it in the top third of its 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

FAITH LAPIDUS: Singer and songwriter Neil Diamond was also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. Diamond began his professional career in 1960 writing songs for other artists.

Several years later he began singing his own music. He became well known for his adult style of pop music. Neil Diamond has sold more than 125 million records during his career. More than 50 of his songs have made it to Billboard's Hot 100 Singles Chart. "Cracklin' Rosie" became his first number one hit in 1970.

(MUSIC)

STEVE EMBER: Tom Waits is a singer/songwriter whose voice sounds like a truck crossing over hundreds of stones. It has a deep, rough and dark quality. It is the perfect balance to the touching poetry of his songs. Tom Waits' music touches on the private experiences many people have, like the sweetness that remains from a long-ago love.

(MUSIC "Martha"/Tom Waits)

STEVE EMBER: Tom Waits is a California native. He taught himself to play piano when he was a child. He started playing in a band in high school. Waits released his first album, "Closing Time," in 1973. It was not immediately popular. But other musicians began to record their own versions of his songs.

FAITH LAPIDUS: Tom Waits kept working hard and putting out great music. But he also drank too much alcohol, smoked and travelled all the time for performances. He has said he was very sick in the middle 1970s. But, in time, he quit drinking, got married, had three children and started an acting career. And he continues to write and sing beautiful songs.

(MUSIC "Innocent When You Dream"/Tom Waits)

STEVE EMBER: Darlene Love was the only woman inducted this year into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The singer is most famous for a series of hit songs she recorded in the 1960s with producer Phil Spector.
