Pop rock music with rhythm & blues/soul vocal techniques

Pop rock music, mixed with rhythm & blues/soul vocal techniques, creates an emotionally-intense and high-energy paradox: catchy pop rock hooks with gospel-like vocals.

Blue-eyed soul is a term coined in the mid-1960's by Georgie Woods to describe this paradox.

Timi Yuro's 1961 cover of the soulful ballad Hurt is her breakthrough, but also establishes her as a rare female presence in blue-eyed soul, before this term was popularized.

What's a Matter Baby (Is It Hurting You?) is another Timi Yuro hit with this hurting theme, but using a more upbeat tone.

Health issues and music shifts ironically make Timi Yuro hurt, echoing the names of her tunes with the theme of this physical, mental and emotional breakdown that she feels.

Despite her own struggles, Timi Yuro's influence in bridging the gap between black music (particularly rhythm & blues/soul) and mainstream pop music is profound.

Beyond the United States, Timi Yuro is also popular in the United Kingdom as a figure of the Northern soul scene, but also the Netherlands, as well as Asian nations, including the Philippines.

Eva LaRue

Eva LaRue

Having been born in a Fire Horse year, Eva LaRue is an eternal flame.

The Fire element likewise represents Eva LaRue in her beauty, energy, charisma and as a spark of the sexual revolution.

In addition, the Horse, which has a fiery nature, also represents Eva LaRue in her hot, sexy, raw and emotional persona.

Using the Horse's fiery nature, Eva LaRue sets soap operas on fire; in fact, she uses charisma, charm, energy, sex appeal, passion and raw emotions.

Years after her breakthrough, Eva LaRue's sexy legacy as an announcer is unextinguished.

December is a month being synonymous with the winter season in the Northern Hemisphere, which is aligned with the Water element, representing Eva LaRue in her soul, emotion and youth.

Mirroring human tears, rain has water drops, true to Eva LaRue's soulful and emotive voice.

The Water element represents the lowest and the deepest frequencies, but also the dark and mysterious depths of the ocean; this holds true for Eva LaRue.

A husky, sultry voice like Eva LaRue's mirrors moving water's fluid, echoing quality.

With the water being mixed with the fire to create steam, Eva LaRue's legacy is an elusive, misty and atmospheric icon.

Even the heavy rain/water droplets cannot dim/extinguish Eva LaRue's fire.

Dabbling in music, Eva LaRue's album is Only You.

Iguales and I'll Remember You are tunes with an upbeat tone and Eva LaRue's raw, soulful and emotive singing voice.

Sucks to Be You

Sucks to Be You is a song by Prozzak; it is about being feeling sad and emotional after being hurt.

Tamara does the smooth, sexy and sultry spoken word-ad-lib for Sucks to Be You (Prozzak), using her aspirate offsets/onsets, as a vocal foil to Simon's remoseful lyrics in his British accent.

One dimension defines Tamara for Sucks to Be You (Prozzak) that echoes the title of Marilyn Monroe's early-1950's film being released after her breakthrough in 1950:

• As young as she sounds: Young, hot, sexy, sultry, beautiful, smooth, steamy, seductive, soulful, fierce/fiery, soft, soothing, breathy, smouldering, gut-wrenching and emotive

DNA of the Chicago School of Television for business news

The Chicago School of Television is a creative television philosophy being rooted in its namesake; its purpose is to counter New York's theatrical/radio grandeur and Hollywood's cinematic glamour.

Such noted techniques involving television's Chicago School include walking personalities, addresses directly to viewers, fluid/moving camerawork and studio sets as three-dimensional/3D canvases.

When regular commercial television operations began in New York, many programs have incorporated theatrical proscenium or radio layouts, separating the stage from the audience area.

In other words, the early studio set designs used by many programs coming from the New York-centric television scene were like a cardboard box, but also two-dimensional/2D canvases.

Besides, New York-centric television had fixed/static shots.

However, the Chicago School circumvented the traditions of the New York-centric television scene.

During the early years of the era after the Second World War, some television programs emanated from Chicago, where Dave Garroway was a radio disc jockey on WMAQ-AM.

Radio belonged to Dave Garroway since World War II, and his laid-back delivery defined his career.

Television came calling for the radio-friendly Dave Garroway in 1949; his eponymous program called Garroway at Large was a key component of the Chicago School.

For his eponymous Garroway at Large program, Dave Garroway broke television's old traditions for a more casual approach, in which the reality of the studio was acknowledged.

Using one camera, Dave Garroway walked around large studios and simple abstract sets as he directly talked to guests and television viewers for his eponymous Garroway at Large program.

Just over 2 years after NBC started Dave Garroway's eponymous Garroway at Large program, its rival CBS responded by launching See It Now, with iconic journalist Edward R. Murrow at the helm.

Hear It Now, which served as a former weekly radio adaptation of the I Can Hear It Now spoken-word album series, is, in turn, the basis for Edward R. Murrow's See It Now (CBS).

The CBS Television control room at Studio 41 in Grand Central Terminal housed Edward R. Murrow's innovative and groundbreaking See It Now television program.

Dave Garroway's Garroway at Large (NBC) used moving cameras and unpainted studio walls, whereas Edward R. Murrow's See It Now (CBS) featured a control room with monitors.

Plus, whereas programs from New York-centric TV were like a cardboard box, the See It Now program being helmed by Edward R. Murrow had a control room.

Both Dave Garroway's Garroway at Large (NBC) and Edward R. Murrow's See It Now (CBS) rejected claustrophobic sets and exposed a real technical environment of television production.

Early-morning television was Pat Weaver's innovative, but controversial dream for a few years, and he tapped Dave Garroway from Chicago to make this dream real.

Pat Weaver's successful dream of an early-morning television program was called Today (NBC).

When Today (NBC) began, television was completely absent from the early-morning hours, and critics believed that no one watched TV while getting ready for work.

Just before Today (NBC), Pat Weaver was also trying to find a location for its studio.

Situated in the Rockefeller Centre complex, the RCA Exhibition Hall is based directly across from the iconic and famous headquarters of the Associated Press at 50 Rockefeller Plaza.

Contrasting to the iconic headquarters of the Associated Press, which represented print journalism, the RCA Exhibition Hall represented electronic media's fluid and transparent future.

Inside the RCA Exhibition Hall, parts of which were converted into the first Today (NBC) studio, was a newsroom/bullpen being adapted from the print field, like the AP at 50 Rock.

Juxtaposing print journalism's industrial past, via the AP at 50 Rock, with electronic media's transparent future, via the RCA Exhibition Hall, the Today (NBC) bullpen was a television innovation.

Next to the Today (NBC) bullpen at the RCA Exhibition Hall was a desk, based behind a backdrop with clocks and television monitors.

Besides, Today (NBC) featured pedestrians on the street looking through the glass windows of the RCA Exhibition Hall to watch this program.

Plus, teletypes that came from the Associated Press (AP), United Press (UP) and the International News Service (INS) were used inside the Today (NBC) bullpen at the RCA Exhibition Hall.

An on-screen ticker being adapted from these wire feeds in the Today (NBC) bullpen being based at the RCA Exhibition Hall, featuring a clock display being adapted from clocks, was used.

For this Today (NBC) ticker, the Gary Telop Horizontal Tape Scroll was used.

Due to technical difficulties and having lacked viewer traction, the on-screen ticker being adapted from wire feeds for Today (NBC) was dropped after just a few months.

Undoing the past, the RCA Exhibition Hall for Today (NBC) under Dave Garroway/Pat Weaver birthed modern broadcast design elements.

Elements of this first Today (NBC) studio under Dave Garroway/Pat Weaver included newsroom-as-set trends, street-side studios, news tickers and clock displays.

This borderless room, located at the RCA Exhibition Hall for Today (NBC) under Dave Garroway, was made in-house by NBC's engineering units and RCA's corporate exhibition teams.

With the RCA Exhibition Hall as its first base, Today (NBC) doubled down on the Chicago Style being honed at Dave Garroway's eponymous Garroway at Large program.

Likewise, with Dave Garroway at the helm for Today (NBC), the RCA Exhibition Hall bridged the gap between the Chicago Style, the AP newsroom/bullpen and the See It Now control room.

For Today (NBC), under Dave Garroway, the RCA Exhibition Hall mixed Chicago's creativity with the industrial newsroom/bullpen and the technical transparency of a network nerve centre.

Chicago, in which Dave Garroway pioneered a casual television style being brought to New York, also housed WCIU-TV, which pioneered financial news on television.

In the West Coast, KWHY-TV pioneered financial news on television like WCIU-TV.

Both KWHY-TV and WCIU-TV are pioneers in offering financial and business news to television.

November 14, 1966 is when KWHY-TV became the first television station in the United States to cover financial and business news, with WCIU-TV following suit

The Financial News Network (FNN) started in November 1981, with the Consumer News and Business Channel (CNBC) in April 1989, both merging in the early-1990's.

Quotron, a financial device being made in 1960 by John Scantlin and his eponymous company Scantlin Electronics, is the first to directly stream real-time stock market data to an electronic screen.

Scantlin's Quotron system replaced traditional, slow and mechanical ticker tape machines.

For FNN, it was the national cable-focus offshoot of KWHY-TV and WCIU-TV.
