The Hit Men Pay Tribute Late Elvis Drummer DJ Fontana.

Members of The Hit Men, the popular musicians who each helped deliver dozens of hits to the superstar artists of the '60s, '70s, '80s, and '90s, comment on the impact of the passing of longtime Elvis Presley drummer DJ Fontana.

Said keyboardist/musical director Lee Shapiro, Frankie Valli's "kid" musical director in the '70s: "DJ Fontana influenced the way I write for a rock rhythm section - he was solid, steady, and sparse. Most drummers were intent on displaying their technique and mastery of the instrument. DJ played his role perfectly. The heartbeat of Elvis' show, the anchor, and the battery who powered it. I learned from DJ that it doesn't take a million notes to be a great rock drummer. It takes feel, and he had it."

Said drummer Steve Murphy, whose credits include Elton John, Jack Bruce (Cream), Dave Mason and Todd Rundgren: "It's undisputable that his drumming laid the foundation for rock and roll. He's the one who started it all. Even though John Bonham of Led Zeppelin and Jeff Porcaro of Toto influenced me while I came of age in the '70s and '80swhen John Bonham of Led Zeppelin and Jeff Porcaro of Toto, knowing that Robert Plant was the biggest Elvis fan on the planet when he and Bonzo were in Band of Joy together, I can't imagine that Bonham was not a huge DJ fan, too. I would bet my family on it."

Singled Out: Lana Blac's Suck You In

Lana Blac recently released her debut single "Suck You In" and to celebrate we asked her to tell us about the dark new track. Here is the story:

My inspiration for "Suck You In" was brought on by my love of everything in me that is horror. I've always been a seductive temptress, an alpha female of sorts, very strong in mind, body, spirit, and soul.

I felt my inner darkness coming out one evening, as I am a creature of the night, and most of my energy is very vampire. This influenced the song and its musical energy and this became very obvious to me that this song had powers of glamour which would empower the song to get you sucked into my lair.

In my own words 'As I climb on top of you and sink my teeth into your skin you are now mine for all eternity.'

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself right here!
