The United States Of America (band)
The United States of America was an American experimental rock band founded in Los Angeles in 1967 by composer Joseph Byrd and vocalist Dorothy Moskowitz, with electric violinist Gordon Marron, bassist Rand Forbes and drummer Craig Woodson. Their 1968 self-titled album, often cited as an early showcase for the use of electronic devices in rock music, was met with critical acclaim and minor chart success. They disbanded shortly after its release. The group’s sound was grounded in both psychedelia and the avant-garde. Unusually, the band had no guitar player; instead, they used strings, keyboards and electronics, including primitive synthesizers, and various audio processors, including the ring modulator. Many of the songs' lyrics reflected Byrd's leftist political views. AllMusic described them as "among the most revolutionary bands of the late '60s."

Wow/Grape Jam
''Wow/Grape Jam'' is the second album by the rock band Moby Grape. It was first released in April 1968. It is different from most double album releases in that it was released as two different albums in separate covers, but packaged together and sold for only one dollar more than price of a single LP. This was Moby Grape's highest charting release in the U.S., peaking at #20 on the ''Billboard'' 200 album chart. ''Wow'' had a color gatefold sleeve, while ''Grape Jam'' had a color non-gatefold sleeve. Early copies of ''Wow'' omit the band's name from the record label, for unknown reasons. Original US copies of the 2 album package had a large blue sticker on the front of shrink wrap which identified the albums and showed the songs of ''Wow'' in the correct order. The song titles for ''Grape Jam'' were only shown on the back of that album and were not visible on the outside of the sealed package. The back cover of ''Wow'' also showed the song titles in an incorrect order, and ag ...

The Clancy Brothers And Tommy Makem
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things already mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with pronouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of pronoun ''thee'') when followed by a v ...
