Titluri onorifice în muzică
Titlurile onorifice sunt folosite de către admiratori și mass-media, pentru a descrie importanța majoră a unui artist muzical în cultura populară. Acestea sunt adesea de ordin religios, familial, sau, cel mai frecvent, regal și aristocratic. Titlurile onorifice au fost prezente în muzica clasică din Europa încă de la începutul secolului al XIX-lea, compozitori precum Mozart și Bach fiind numiți „Părinți ai muzicii moderne”.[1] De asemenea, ele au fost deosebit de importante în cultura afro-americană în perioada de după Războiul Civil, ca mijloc de a conferi un statut care fusese negat de sclavie, și, ca urmare, au intrat în muzica jazz și blues timpurie, incluzând figuri precum Duke Ellington și Count Basie.[2][3]
În cultura americană, în ciuda constituției și ideologiei republicane, apelativele onorifice de tipul rege sau regină au fost folosite pentru a descrie personalități de frunte în diverse domenii de activitate, cum ar fi comerțul sau sportul; titlurile de părinte/tată sau mamă au fost folosite pentru pionieri sau inovatori.[4][5] În anii 1930 și 1940, pe măsură ce muzica jazz și swing câștiga popularitate, artiștii albi Paul Whiteman și Benny Goodman, care au avut mai mult succes comercial, au fost cei care au devenit cunoscuți ca „regele jazzului”, și, respectiv, „regele swingului”, în ciuda faptului că existau artiști afro-americani contemporani mai apreciați.[6]
Aceste tipare de desemnare au fost transferate la muzica rock and roll atunci când acesta a luat naștere, în anii 1950. Titlul notoriu de „rege al muzicii rock 'n' roll” a fost asociat cel mai mult cu Elvis Presley.[7] Au existat similitudini în alte genuri, spre exemplu solista Aretha Franklin, care a fost încoronată pe scenă în 1968 drept „regina muzicii soul”;[8] Michael Jackson și Madonna au fost asociați cu termenii „regele și regina muzicii pop” începând cu anii 1980.[9][10][11]

Some performers are so intense, so inimitable, that trying capture their appeal in mere words is the proverbial exercise in futility. For example, David Bowie probably came closest to summing up Tina Turner's fiery, un-sum-up-able persona when he famously said, after joining her onstage in Birmingham, England, during the final concert of her 1985 British tour: "Standing up there next to her was the hottest place in the universe."
