CLEVELAND — The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will once again host the Moondog Coronation Ball March 27 at 7 p.m. at Quicken Loans Arena.
Moondog 2010 will feature Grand Funk Railroad, Little Anthony and the Imperials, The Turtles and Paul Revere and the Raiders.
Tickets are $35, $50 and $65 and go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. at the Quicken Loans Arena Box Office, charge by phone at 888-894-9424, online at theQarena.com and at all northern Ohio Discount Drug Marts.
The fact that Grand Funk Railroad's legacy still looms large over the pop music landscape more than 30 years after its 1969 birth in Flint, Mich., is also a testament to the group's influence and staying power. Mega hits “We're An American Band,” “I'm Your Captain/Closer To Home,” “Locomotion,” and “Some Kind Of Wonderful” still receive continuous airplay.
Little Anthony & The Imperials have begun to take the concert stages by storm once again. Officially reuniting in early 1992, the group had not performed together for over 17 years, yet the magic returned immediately! In early 1958, End Records reps spotted the group and signed them to a contract named the “THE Imperials” – their name was later changed when Moondog himself, Alan Freed, announced them on the radio as Little Anthony & The Imperials. Their first record was a double-sided ballad smash and the “A” side, “Tears on My Pillow,” would be one of their biggest selling hits, with more than $1 million copies sold. The “B” side, “Two People in the World” made this one of the most popular double-sided ballad records in vocal group history.
The Turtles refer to themselves as two guys from Westchester — the one with the curly hair and glasses, and the other with the beard. Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan (AKA Flo and Eddie) were two slightly bewildered kids thrust into the fast lane of rock 'n' roll stardom with multiple hits, national tours, hanging out with the Beatles and joining the Mothers of Invention. These two guys from Westchester responsible for “It Ain't Me Babe,” “Let Me Be,” “You Baby,” “Can I Get to Know You Better” and more.
Paul Revere and the Raiders were the first rock group to be signed with Columbia Records with their recording “Louie Louie.” Paul Revere organized the Raiders in Idaho in 1958 and five years later they were signed to a record deal eventually rolling out 23 consecutive hit singles, some of which include “Indian Reservation,” “Kicks,” “Hungry,” “Just Like Me,” “Good Thing,” “Steppin’ Out,” “Stepping Stone,” “Ups and Downs” and “Him or Me.”
