Alice Cooper

In the fall of 1976, Alice Cooper was riding high after releasing his album 'Alice Cooper Goes to Hell.' This marked a notable chapter in his career as he transitioned from a rock icon into more theatrical performances, embracing his horror-inspired persona. The live recording on the 'Tony Orlando Show' showcased two tracks from that era—'Give the Kid a Break,' a song that reflects his knack for storytelling, and 'I Never Cry,' a poignant ballad that reveals his softer side. Fun fact: Alice famously struggled with personal demons during this time, which deeply influenced his music. His dynamic stage presence and ability to blend showmanship with sincerity made him a captivating performer, solidifying his status as a rock legend.
