Daoud khan biography of michael jackson

It was probably 1956 when my classmate Joan Seleznow invited me to listen to the new 45’s her father had been stocking in his hardware store. Now these weren’t pistols, but 7-inch pop records that were played at 45 rpm, as opposed to the 12-inch 33-rpm mostly classical records.
I remember the records to this day. She first put on Little Richard’s “Good Golly, Miss Molly” and followed up with Fats Domino’s “Blueberry Hill”. I told her that I loved the sounds. They were nothing like the insipid songs that were featured on the weekly television show “Hit Parade” like “How Much is that Doggy in the Window”.
But she saved the best for last: Elvis Presley’s “Hound Dog”. I didn’t know it at the time but Big Momma Thorton, who recorded the song before Elvis, was an African-American like Fats Domino and Little Richard. That being said, the song was written by a couple of Jews, Mike Stoller and Jerry Leiber.
A few months later I joined the RCA record club and got Elvis Presley’s 33-rpm debut album, which had “Hound Dog” and his other greatest hits that still had the immediately recognizable influences of African-American rhythm-and-blues and white country-and-western.

Music and Becoming a DJ Saved my Soul
On January 12th, Taiz Nawab turned forty. She was born and raised in an artistic family in Hamburg. Her mother has a beautiful voice and always aspired to become an actress, but she never had the opportunity to do so. Her father is a calligrapher specializing in Persian and Arabic scripts. Both parents studied literature at Kabul University. Taiz has two brothers who are musicians and work in the field of pedagogy. They are trained in playing the tabla, a percussion instrument primarily from the North Indian musical tradition, which is also used in Afghan music.
The family fled Afghanistan in 1978, just before the full Russian invasion. “It took them about forty days to leave after the local communist parties gradually took over. My parents have shared stories of their migration, recounting how many people who weren’t actively supporting the incoming regime during Muhammad Daoud Khan’s rule were automatically declared suspects and subsequently removed from their positions; many were tortured or killed. My family didn’t know what to expect, especially as they had already seen people they knew go missing or be killed. So, my father quickly decided to leave the country for Germany, where his older brother lived.” Thanks to
