The Candy Man – Sammy Davis Jr.

Source: Getty Images

A talented actor, comedian, singer, and dancer; Sammy Davis Jr. stands in history as an entertainment legend. Despite being a victim of prevailing racism throughout his life, Sammy overcame it all to establish a career that would lead him to unrivaled fame and admiration.

Definitely has to be noted that Sammy used this fame to make a big difference in society. As his fame grew, clubs and venues were clambering to get him on their stage; but he refused to perform at any establishment that practiced racial segregation, which led to the creation and integration of several venues around Miami and Las Vegas.

Davis continued to be a prominent social activist, becoming highly active in the Civil Right Movement, and even marrying a Swedish Actress, May Britt, in a time when interracial marriage was illegal in most states.

Sammy had a long standing music career, including a No 1. hit in “The Candy Man”, and forming the Rat Pack along with fellow super stars Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.

We’re happy to say that some of his greatest hits are now available here at getconquer.com!

My talent was the weapon, the power, the way for me to fight. It was the one way I might hope to affect a man’s thinking.”

Poet of the Common Man: Merle Haggard

Haggard was a country favorite for us here at Conquer, so his death last year came as quite a hit to us, as I’m sure it did many. Merle Haggard and the word “legend” usually go hand in hand. An acknowledgement to the lasting effect he has had on not just country music, but music in general.

His artistry and ability to connect with the average listener (getting them to sympathize and understand scenarios event if they haven’t experience it themselves), has earned him the title of “The Poet of the Common Man”. 40 #1 hits, winner of just about every music award out there, and 1994 inductee to the Country Music Hall of Fame; he is easily one of the most influential country artists of all time.

Haggard was a man that took his own path, regardless of the latest trends and commercial music tropes. We are so honored to have some of his greatest hits (and live performances) now available for download here on getconquer.com

“We need to have music that contributes to the well-being of the spirit. Music that cradles people’s lives and makes things a little easier. That’s what I try to do, and what I want to do. You don’t want to close the door on hope.

America’s Original Christmas Queen

We’re really excited about the addition of these platinum artists to the Conquer platform. Rosemary Clooney was one of America’s most beloved performers for nearly six decades. Her voice was described as deep, and rich with a smooth tone that earned her recognition as one of America’s premier pop and jazz singers.

The Wall Street Journal called her “A pop icon and spoken in the same breath as Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald.”, and was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award on Feb 28, 2002; the year of her death. She is best known for her role in the 1954 film White Christmas, alongside Bing Crosby.

Since then she has become an icon of the holiday season, and her Christmas album is now available right here on getconquer.com

“Rosemary Clooney, an American musical treasure and one of the best friends a song ever had.”

Conquer Brings Holiday Music Cheer

The holidays are here! Nothing says the holidays better than signing to your favorite holiday melodies. It takes you back to when you were little and the family gathered to celebrate. What was you favorite holiday song? Jingle bells, All I Want For Christmas, Silent Night, Frosty The Snowman…

Growing up, the highlight of every year was decorating the Christmas tree while music played in the background. My sisters and I would create our holiday gift list while eating fresh backed sugar cookies. Then we’d proudly show our parents who could not believe the length, we would postmark the envelopes to the North Pole, and impatiently wait for Christmas day.

Years later in my own home decorating for holidays music is a large part of the season. I am brought back to memories of sitting on the living room floor and unwrapping my gifts listening to Johnny Mathis, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Rosemary Clooney and more.

Conquer is happy to announce the release of many compilation and Christmas albums. Get paid to play your favorite holiday music!
