Suffering from crippling OCD at times, Joey Ramone was nonetheless an iconic, punk counterculture rock and roll icon as lead singer and songwriter of The Ramones. Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee and Tommy – the original Ramones, all deceased – never achieved million-seller status for any of their 14 albums but their legacy extends well beyond the five NYC boroughs, with Joey’s snarling vocals and gangly, leather jacketed image turning him into a 20th century countercultural icon.

claim_to_fame: Music

A distinguished American composer, Irving Fine was a leading voice in the American Neoclassical School and a member of the Boston Group of composers—Arthur Berger, Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, Lukas Foss and Harold Shapero—who were hot on the international scene during the mid-twentieth century. A student of Boulanger, Koussevitzky and Piston, Fine’s compositions range in style from populist Americana to serialism. His greatest legacy is as an educator and impresario.
