Cro in der Hugenottenhalle
Panda-Rapper-Fete mit Kindercola
Angefangen hat der Hype vor knapp einem Jahr, als Jan Delay auf seiner Facebook-Seite Cros Video „Easy“ postete und ihn als „die Zukunft von Deutschrap“ vorstellte. Dann avancierte „Easy“- eine Sample-Version des Bobby-Hebb-Klassikers „Sunny“ - zum Radiohit. Vor zwei Wochen war Cro dann bei „Wetten, dass…?!“ zu Gast. Der schlaksige Cro verrät nicht viel von sich:

Cro im Kreuz: Ohne Motto, aber mit großer Show
Von Thomas Bertz
Fulda
Er ist aktuell einer der größten Stars im deutschen
Musikbusiness: Cro. Am Mittwoch machte der Rapper im pickepackevollen
Kreuz Station. Der 22-Jährige lieferte eine großartige Show ab.
Finale, als er seinen größten Hit zum Besten gibt: "Easy" den
Bobby-Hebb-Klassiker "Sunny". Die ganze Halle singt. "Ihr seid die
Geilsten", sagt Cro, legt kurz nach. Dann war schon Schluss - nach 80
Minuten. Cro behält die Maske auf. Ein bisschen Geheimnis muss bleiben.
Und eins scheint sicher: Der Hype um Cro dürfte noch größer werden.

FRAMINGHAM — The first thing you see when you turn into Little Joe Cook’s driveway is his white Cadillac Seville with the vanity plates, “Nut Man.”They refer to the 89-year-old singer’s one and only hit single, with his group Little Joe and the Thrillers, 1957’s “Peanuts,” which stayed on the Billboard charts for 15 weeks, making Cook’s high falsetto instantly recognizable. That song has remained the foundation of his career for decades, a few of them spent performing in Cambridge at the slightly faded Cantab Lounge.
“People the world over know who I am, and, yeah, it’s for that song,” said the doo-wop singer, who was born Joseph Cook. “And I'm just fine with that.”
On Saturday, fans, friends, and fellow performers, including old members of his band Little Joe’s Thrillers, will pay tribute to Cook at an early 90th birthday celebration at Ryles Jazz Club in Cambridge.
