In Chapter 4, Covach & Flory describe how British rock musicians were listening to a wide variety of American pop ranging from rhythm & blues to the latest bands to emerge from the Brill Building. The blues, the first wave rockers, and rockabilly also caught their attention. Most of the bands that had chart success in the U.K. came to the attention of fans and record labels due to their ability to perform American pop. In fact, most of the songs on the first album or two of most of these British Invasion bands were cover versions of well-known American hits. Here is a list of songs from the first or second albums released by a variety of British bands from 1963 to 1965. Select four (4) songs and listen to the songs on YouTube. If the link to the song does not work, search for the song on YouTube, Rhapsody, or Spotify. Next, research the original version of the song and locate the YouTube video and listen to that. In a paragraph of approximately 150200 words for each song: Identify the original performers and/or writers of the song. Provide the YouTube link to the original song. Explain the historical importance or significance of the original song, the original performers, or both. Compare the two versions of the song noting the style or genre of the original recording, and and briefly discuss how the British cover version differs from the original.

As with research, concepts play a critical role in theory development.Consider for a moment the purpose of theory and its application to nursing practice. At the heart of any theory—which seeks to describe, explain, predict, or prescribe—lies the concept or concepts to be explored or addressed. Within the iterative process of theory development, concepts must be defined and refined as the relationships between them are identified in order to articulate “ reality” and inform effective practice.To prepare:•• Reflect on the information presented Learning Resources, including Chapter 4 of Theoretical Basis for Nursing. How and why do concepts serve as the building blocks of theory?•• Brainstorm a list of middle range theories that have been applied in nursing practice. Then, select one with which you are most familiar. If necessary, refer to Chapter 10 or 11 in the course textbook, Theoretical Basis for Nursing, for ideas. You may also conduct additional research using the Walden Library or other scholarly databases.•• Contemplate the various conceptual components of your selected theory, including how they are defined, linked to the real world, observed, and measured.
