On Sunday, Dec. 3 at 7 p.m., Beth El Temple in West Hartford will rock out with a concert called, appropriately enough, “Rock of Ages.” The evening will feature the Beethoven Violin Concerto and Artie Shaw’s Clarinet Concerto – and a “Tribute to Rock and Roll,” in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, plus the music of Led Zeppelin and the Moody Blues.

So what’s so Jewish about all that? Nothing really. But it got us thinking. Certainly, there’s been no shortage of Jewish artists that have topped the Billboard charts over the years. But just who are the Jewish musicians who have made the biggest impact on the charts over the decades. To find out, we checked out the ‘people of the charts’ (so to speak) – aka Billboard.

Turns out, Billboard has gathered together a list of the Tribe’s 30 biggest Billboard stars. The ranking is based on actual performance on the weekly Billboard Hot 100 since the chart launched in August 1958.

Begininng with #30 and working our way up the ladder, here’s a quick look at what we found. For details, visit www.billboard.com.

14. Carly Simon

With “You’re So Vain,” the ‘70s singer/songwriter, whose father is Jewish, posed a pop culture question that’s yet to be answered – who is the song about? – and scored a huge No. 1 hit along with several other Hot 100 top 10s.
