Why was Nicoli Teslar not recognised as one of the greats?

I assume you were refering to Nicoli Tesla. Indeed he was great man. I read a book about him several years ago. It was he that invented alternating current. The credit usually goes to george westinghouse, and he does indeed deserve partial credit-he financed Mr. Tesla.\n\nTesla invented many things that are in use today. Of course A.C. was the big one. There are other reasons why tesla is not so famous. His main rival was Tom Edison. Tom Edison was also a inventor (duh) and his idea of using D.C. was the one to beat. Tesla's A.C. was superior and edison knew it, but Edison had a huge ego and did stunts trying to show that A.C. was dangerous. Basicaly he electrocuted animals on stage. If you look hard on the internet you will find a very old video of edison electrocuting an elephant to death. \n\nWhat it all boils down to is Westinghouse and Edison hating each other and that is what the public saw, and poor old tesla was just plain forgotten about.

Darth Chris ~\n                      There have been some pretty good female fighters over the years, but there aren't any that would be considered famous outside of die hard boxing fans that everyday people would know other than Laila Ali, because of her father, not her ability. Christy Martin brought to the mainstream by making the cover of Sports Illustrated. Lucia Rijker (Billy Blue Bear) most famous for once fighting a man (she got knocked out) and from being the mean fighter in Million Dollar Baby.

She would have been ignored by the people and never rose to fame. Women were considered unclean and could not even eat with men. They were chattel. Nobody would take a female mystic serious in Israel. She would have done better to flee to some other land where women had a chance to thrive. Maybe Greece. Maybe Africa where there were queens like Sheba and Nefertiti and a history of women in power or being holy.\nIF she was born in Israel she would have been told to shut up and get married and start popping out babies.\nEven Jesus had to leave from ages 13-26 to be taken seriously when he returned as "no man is a prophet in his own land" You gotta be from somewhere else strange to impress. jesus was educated in India at the university of benares. it is the longest running school in the world and is still teaching. He came home and started teaching all this strange new lore of love and forgiveness and meditation and started up with desciples etc and made big waves for being wierd, we all know what eventually happened to him. After he was murdered for political reasons his followers started up a religion in his name and it got all twisted. the love and forgiveness part was all forgotten.\nHe was a notable guru but not appreciated by the swine he tried to teach. A woman would have had even worse luck that jesus. She wold be forgotten entirely as none would have set up a religion after she died.

Probably u have not heard the name of Budi Kundaram, who was the best wicket keeper we had and subsequently, Sadanand Viswanath. I would rate Dhoni only after these two. eventhough I also hail from the place of Dhoni. Apart from these, we had N.Thamane

I'd like to think so - she is getting as over rated as Paris, Nicole, Kimberley Stewart ........  All 'nothing' chicks.\nThe only talent they have is money and over exposure.\nJessica might 'say' she is an artist but I personally think her whispery voice is CRAP!\nDid you all know that Nick Lacheys latest album has DOUBLED her sales????

well, zep was one of the pioneers of their genre of music, so no matter how cool wolfmother is (and i've only heard a few songs, but they seem cool), they're not gonna be in the Zep category. or at least not for a very very long time.

I think Madonna opened a lot of doors for female artists of today.  No other woman has ever had the guts to do the things she did and is still doing.  Even though there are some things about her that I disagree with, her courage and strength is very admirable.  Standing up for her beliefs and never caring about what critics say, her not being a hypocrite, her diversity and her talents in the music business, her spirituality, her two children and husband G.R., her mental stability, her hardwork for personal success, and her journey from being a middle-class American to a worldwide phenomenon proves she not only has talent but has the ability to knock out haters and traitors over the 20+ years of her career.  I like her because of the above reasons.  Another plus is that she did it all on her own and never went insane.  Her family did not help her out at first.  She deserves all the money she has earned because she hardly ever disses her colleagues and she is no freeloader.  So, yes...I like Madonna.

Joan of Arc was awesomely brave and Godly too so I give her much respect as well.\nAngelina Jolie is sponsoring some kids from third world contries and educating people about their poverty,she deserves credit in that respect too.

It proves that they are amazing musicians. Definelly one of the best albuns out this year.\n\nTheir opinion shouldn't matter in their career. What happened to them really scares me, cuz isn't America the Land of the Free?\n\nAnd also they were right. And so was Sinead O'Connor

Yes, there are many of them; you might consider the heros of quantum mechanics: Schroedinger, Heisenberg and Planck to have simply begun careers on a normal timeframe.  Additionally, you might consider that most scientists do not become extremly famous, but that does not mean that they have not become accomplished in their field.  If you consider all non-famous, but accomplished, scientists, you're looking at a very large set of people.

It's a shame that maybe a dozen or so individuals will stumble upon these reviews of Miss Timi Yuro and attempt to understand what a talent she was. I'd love to climb the musical mountain and shout her praises to the masses. In my opinion, she represents one of the all time great female singers to emerge in the sixties decade. That's a remarkable feat in itself. Timi's talent as a vocalist and song stylist are truly unique. Not only did she have a rich soulful voice but also the ability to interpret the song within her own style. This talent is extremely rare. A couple of examples of other vocalists who could put there imprint on a song, Sinatra, Nina Simone, come to mind.\nTimi's success didn't happen overnight but that story will have to be reserved for another time. Suffice to say, that Timi, with her magnificant talent, had the good fortune to be produced by the legend Clyde Otis and have her arrangements built by the one and only Belford Hendricks. These three together in the studio made musical magic that would last a lifetime. Next were the song selections, many penned by Clyde Otis. However, it's interesting to note that selections also included numbers penned by young Willie Nelson and Burt Bacharach. I like to think that Timi recognized their talent early on. It's also interesting to ponder what would have happened if Burt worked with Timi instead of Dianne Warwick during his musical heyday. Also her interpretation of the old chestnuts, Smile and Let Me Call You Sweatheart. These were songs being sung by barbershop quartets but Timi made them her own and added a soulful touch. What happened?? How could a star shine so brightly and with so much promise practically disappear, after only a few years, behind the clouds? Timi with her dedication, energy,hard work and talent should have been a major headliner for years but sadly this wasn't the case. One of the reasons were the times. Female pop singers were literally "chewed up and spit out" by the business. Talented singers were grouped together with the "one hit wonders " and soon forgotten by the general public. No one seriously thought female pop singer, for the most part, were capable of an extended career. During the late fifties and early sixties public visibility was challanging. There were very limited public venues. Some isolated TV spot work,if you were extremely lucky, possibly Dick Clark, Ed Sullivan, etc. Musical venues were just as restrictive. Many really talented artists were tossed into rock and roll package tours with at best ten minutes on the stage shared with a dozen or more acts.It was more akin to a circus performance then a musical concert. the other alternative was night club work. Unfortunately, the club attendees were mostly in their 40s,50s and up, who'd grown up listening to big band and standards singers. A talent like Timi's was rarely appreciated on a consistent basis. Although I don't know, I suspect she was probably represented by less then enlightened management. I find it hard to believe that any talented management, given Timi's work ethic and talent, could not have sustained a headlining career. Sadly, by the late sixties Timi mostly worked the golden oldies package tour. She never really received another major break,although there were periodic rays of sunshine mostly in Europe. To soon major health problems surfaced which, although she fought bravely, finally took the ultimate toll. \nAll that's left is her music and the thought of what might have been for someone as talanted as she. My ongoing hope is that one of her classics will find it's way onto a successful movie soundtrack and her stylings will receive the wide audience this body of work deserves. It happened to the late Johnny Hartman(a long neglected jazz stylist)when Clint Eastwood inserted his material into the "Bridge " soundtrack. Until then, consider yourself fortunate that you s
