My two favorites – TINA TURNER and CARLOS SANTANA. Tina – with sales of 170 million albums and a phenomenal number of hit records to her career; River Deep, Mountain High, Proud Mary, What’s Love Got To Do With It, Better Be Good To Me, Typical Male, What You See is What You Get, Steamy Windows, We Don’t Need Another Hero, Goldeneye, The Best … Tina Turner is the most successful female rock artist of all time and the undisputed Queen of Rock N Roll. Carlos Santana – One of the more prominent figures to emerge from the lively West Coast rock scene of the late 60s, Carlos Santana was born into a family with a long history in the music field. He spent his early years in Mexico, receiving his first musical instruction from his father, a Mariachi violinist, who attempted for several years to train his son on the instrument. By the time he reached the age of eight, however, little Carlos had fallen under the influence of blues performers such as B. B. King and John Lee Hooker, and the violin was abandoned in favor of the guitar.

Tell me
Just what you want me to be
One kiss
And boom you’re the only one for me
So please tell me why
Don’t you come around no more?
‘Cause right now I’m cryin’
Outside the door
Of the candy store

It just takes a little bit of this, a little bit of that
It started with a kiss now we’re up to bat
A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain
I’m tellin’ you my babe, its all in the game of love–

–Is
Whatever you make it to be
Sunshine instead of this cold, lonely sea
So please baby try
And you’ll live for what I’m good for
It ain’t sayin’ goodbye
Its knockin’ down the door
Of your candy store

You roll me, control me, console me
Please hold me!
You guide me, divide me into whole–yeah!

(Make me feel good–yeah!)

So please tell me why
Don’t you come around no more?
‘Cause right now I’m dyin’
Outside the door
Of your lovin’ store

Its all in this game of love, its all in the game of love
All in the game of love
(A little bit of this, a little bit of that)
You roll me, control me, please hold me
(A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain)
And I’m here on my own…on my own

Hello darkness, my old friend,
Ive come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared
Disturb the sound of silence.

Fools said i,you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisperd in the sounds of silence.

Known as “Little Miss Dynamite,” Brenda Mae Tarpley (a.k.a. Brenda Lee) were born in Lithonia, Georgia, December 11, 1944. She was blessed with a powerful voice that belied her samall size. She could sing rockabilly, country and pop standards with equal conviction, and her versatility as an interpreter has allowed her a career of extraordinary longevity. She is the kicking, countrified upstart of “Jambalaya” and “That’s All You Gotta Do,” the pert, jaunty rocker of “Sweet Nothin’s” and “Let’s Jump the Broomstick,” the heartbroken balladeer of “I’m Sorry” and “Break It to Me Gently,” the sophisticated songstress of “I Just Want to Be Wanted” and “You Can Depend on Me,” and the country storyteller of “Big Four Poster Bed” and “Nobody Wins.” She is also indelibly associated with the holiday season, as her 1958 recording of “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” has become a standard that’s heard every year and is ensconced at #4 on the all-time list of popular seasonal records.

Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I’m so happy that you’re mine

If I made you feel second best
Girl I’m so sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
Give me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfied, satisfied

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

According to the News of the World hours before the death Michael Jackson wrote a series of mysterious post-it notes in the hours before his death, it emerged last night.

One note said ‘I am so grateful that I am a magnet for miracles’, while another read: ‘Love, no violence ever! Remember a beautiful future promise of tomorrow.’
The ‘magnet for miracles’ phrase is used in U.S. self-help programmes for recovering alcoholics to promote self-esteem.

One friend said: ‘These notes show that Michael was positive until the last – but also what a mess his mind must have been as he fought to keep it all together towards the end.’
Also included was a reminder about singing his hit ‘We Are The World’ during his show.
The source said: ‘It’s worrying that he had to write reminders about things as obvious as these while he was rehearsing for his tour.
‘But the drugs he was taking obviously had a huge impact on his memory.’
Jackson’s sister LaToya revealed yesterday that her brother’s mansion was ransacked after his death.

“Autumn Leaves” is one of the most re recorded songs. Originally this charming French melody sounded in 1945, then it was introduced by Yves Montand for the film Les Portes de la Nuit, in 1946. The music of “Les feuilles mortes” (literally “The Dead Leaves”) was written by Joseph Kosma and lyrics by the french surrealist poet Jacques Prévert.

Oh, je voudais tant que tu te souviennes
Des jours heureux où nous étions amis
En ce temps-là la vie était plus belle
Et le soleil plus brûlant qu’aujourd’hui.

Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle
Tu vois, je n’ai pas oublié
Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle
Les souvenirs et les regrets aussi.

Et le vent du Nord les emporte,
Dans la nuit froide de l’oubli.
Tu vois je n’ai pas oublié,
La chanson que tu me chantais…

Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle
Les souvenirs et les regrets aussi,
Mais mon amour silencieux et fidèle
Sourit toujours et remercie la vie.

Je t’aimais tant, tu étais si jolie,
Comment veux-tu que je t’oublie?
En ce temps-là la vie était plus belle
Et le soleil plus brûlant qu’aujourd’hui.

Tu étais ma plus douce amie
Mais je n’ai que faire des regrets.
Et la chanson que tu chantais,
Toujours, toujours je l’entendrai.

C’est une chanson qui nous ressemble,
Toi tu m’aimais, moi je t’aimais
Et nous vivions, tous deux ensemble,
Toi qui m’aimais, moi qui t’aimais.

Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s’aiment,
Tout doucement, sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable
Les pas des amants désunis.

C’est une chanson qui nous ressemble,
Toi tu m’aimais et je t’aimais
Et nous vivions tous deux ensemble,
Toi qui m’aimais, moi qui t’aimais.

Some later in 1947 the “Les feuilles mortes” was translated into the english by American songwriter Johnny Mercer. Since Roger Williams made the song a number one hit in the United States in 1955, the song is remaining in that position for ever:-)

The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

It’s all right!:-) Whitney Houston comes back! You know, it’s really great thing one has to celebrate when someone he or she loves the most comes back, right? So, one of my favorites, the Diva comes back and this news makes me happy. Since 1998′s “My Love Is Your Love” is still her best album as an accessible, elegant and entertaining collection of slick pop-soul songs, diva ballads and uptempo R&B jams. I love it. “I was not built to break,” she says. Steady!

If tomorrow is a judgement day
And I’m standin’ on the front line
And the Lord ask me what I did with my life
I will say I spent it with you

If I wake up in World War 3
I see destruction and poverty
And I feel like I want to go home
It’s okay if you comin’ with me

If I lose my fame and fortune
And I’m homeless on the street
And I’m sleepin’ in Grand Central Station
It’s okay if you’re sleepin’ with me

As the years they pass us by
we stay young through each other’s eyes
And no matter how old we get
It’s okay as long as I got you babe

If I should die this very day
Don’t cry, cause on earth we wasn’t meant to stay
And no matter what people say
I’ll be waiting for you after judgement day

‘Cause your love is my love
and my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn’t hold us

Amazing Grace Lyrics
by Englishman John Newton
(1725-1807)

“Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me….
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.

T’was Grace that taught…
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear…
the hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares…
we have already come.
T’was Grace that brought us safe thus far…
and Grace will lead us home.

The Lord has promised good to me…
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be…
as long as life endures.

When we’ve been here ten thousand years…
bright shining as the sun.
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise…
then when we’ve first begun.

“Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me….
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see. (end)

Almost every song I put here reminds me the certain moment in my life that being accompanied by one or another melody occasionally sounded there. And that is why I come back to these compositions from time to time, perhaps for returning the experience I had got once?
Anyway all these songs are staying in my life calling up sweat memoirs I will never forget. I guess I’m not lonely on the way but as far I just can’t imagine my life without music listening it a lot as great number perfumers and their compositions may have to be significant to me. Definitely “Chicago” is one of those bands I listen and enjoy till now.

Hold me now
It’s hard for me to say I’m sorry
I just want you to know
Hold me now
I really want to tell you I’m sorry
I could never let you go
After all that we’ve been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to
And after all that’s been said and done
You’re just the part of me I can’t let go

After all that we’ve been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to

No doubt that for all those millions of Michael Jackson fans who didn’t register for the draw, or just can’t be there or the nearby Nokia Center, such major news networks as Fox, ABC, the BBC and CNN will provide live Internet video streams on their website plus, it is likely that web based TV sites like Hulu, uStream, LiveStation and others will broadcast the funeral service online. So you can also try your luck checking the links offered by www.webtvhub.com to watch it online even on your cell phone.
