CBSN
Alicia Keys' soulful 2001 debut album, "Songs in A Minor," Ricky Martin's boisterous "Livin' La Vida Loca," and Queen's epic "Bohemian Rhapsody" are just a few of the latest recordings being added to the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry, to be preserved for future generations.
On Wednesday the Library announced 25 audio recordings spanning nearly a century are being inducted to the Registry, a compendium of sound recordings deemed representative of America's artistic, cultural and historic treasures.
Also selected this year: Linda Ronstadt's 1987 collection of mariachi songs, "Canciones de Mi Padre"; Bonnie Raitt's gritty country album, "Nick of Time"; the indominable "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey; Max Roach's avant-garde jazz suite, "We Insist!"; and Wu-Tang Clan's first album, "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)."
Barbie Hsu, a Taiwanese actress who starred in the popular TV drama "Meteor Garden" that once swept Asia, died after contracting pneumonia triggered by the flu. She was 48.
We'll tell you up front: Actor-director Jesse Eisenberg, who says he can appreciate a good Jewish deli, is a different kind of movie star. We joined him last week at the legendary Canter's Deli in Los Angeles, and shared some chocolate babka, with a dill pickle chaser. "This is the real test," Eisenberg said.
