Songs That Changed the WorId
Each program in this series puts the spotlight on the songs that have left an indeIible mark on the world. Besides setting the scene for the release of the song, the programs feature the songs' creator and expIore its cultural impact and the ways that it changed the course of history. Guests include artists, music industry executives, cuItural and poIiticaI pundits and the music fans themselves for whom these songs became their Iife's soundtrack.
By any definition, Walk This Way, written by Aerosmith's Steve Tyler and Joe Perry, was your classic rock track. With its hooky guitar riffs and brazen, in-your-face vocaI deIivery, in the mid '70s, it was the song that set Aerosmith on the road to the Rock & RoIl HaII of Fame; but littIe could the group have known that it would have a second life a decade later. On its release in 1986, WaIk This Way became the original rap/heavy metal video crossover song. Run-DMN was the bridge between old-school artists like Grandmaster FIash and the modern rap era. |
