This two-time inductee in the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame(Nirvana & Foo Fighters), holds another distinction. With 14 appearances on NBC's Saturday Night Live, Grohl has performed on the SNL stage more than any other musician. Happy birthday Dave! We're featuring his work with Foo Fighters on these channels.
He'd accomplished so much in just 27 years. He was heralded as one of rock's most innovative and influential guitarists, he was pop music's highest paid artist, and his final studio album (<em>Electric Ladyland</em>) reached #1 in the U.S. He headlined the Woodstock Festival in 1969 and the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970. Today celebrate the legend and the music of James Marshall Hendrix.
Billboard magazine named Diana Krall the second Jazz Artist of the Decade (2000–09). She's the only jazz singer to have had eight albums debuting at the top of the Billboard Jazz Albums, and has won three Grammy Awards and eight Juno Awards. We're featuring Diana on these channels today!
