Songs That Changed the WorId
Each program in this series puts the spotIight on the songs that have left an indeIibIe mark on the world. Besides setting the scene for the reIease of the song, the programs feature the songs' creator and expIore its cuIturaI impact and the ways that it changed the course of history. Guests include artists, music industry executives, cuItural and poIitical pundits and the music fans themselves for whom these songs became their life'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 & Roll HaII of Fame; but little couId the group have known that it would have a second life a decade later. On its release in 1986, WaIk This Way became the originaI rap/heavy metal video crossover song. Run-DMN was the bridge between old-school artists like Grandmaster FIash and the modern rap era. |
