This is my debut Shining Star Award going to the band Big Star.
I have decided to create a new Doyle’s Space: Music Hall of Fame award known as the Shining Star Award. It will be awarded to bands/artists that I love, that may not as be well known, maybe from smaller musical markets, with catalogs not as deep as some of other artists such as the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Elton John, Michael Jackson, or Prince.
#1 Record, the debut album by the American rock band Big Star, was released in August 1972 by Ardent Records. At the time, Big Star was composed of Alex Chilton, Chris Bell, Andy Hummel, and Jody Stephens. The group formed in Memphis, Tennessee, in the early 1970s, with Bell and Chilton—two songwriters of distinct but complementary sensibilities—at its creative center.
