ser bem feliz Encontrar alguém que
saiba me dar Me dar motivo Me dar motivo.

(a duet with album producer Luther
Vandross) which hit #4 Adult Contemporary and #27 on Billboard's

Date" which hit #45 on Billboard's
R&B chart.
Here we are so close to the end now
Still holdin' on, we try and pretend now
Clinging to love we both know is dying (It's dying)
We've tried and tried to find us a way out
But darling, our dreams have now all been played out
Still we go on hopelessly trying
But how many times can we say goodbye
And how many times can we see love die
And how many times can we give it one more try
Before we really say goodbye
Mmm, goodbye (Goodbye)
We're so in love, but wrong for each other
Each hurt that heals brings on another
Both of us used and both of us using (Hey, hey)
Darling, it's time that we stop pretending (Stop)
There's just no way to rewrite our ending (No way)
We're caught in this game and we both know we're losing
Oh, but how many times can we say goodbye
Hey, how many times can we feel love die
Tell me how many times can we give it one more try (One more)
Before we really say goodbye
Yeah...oh...ho... (Whoa...oh...oh...)
How many times can we break up and make up
Both of our hearts refusing to wake up
Just can't go on (No) and on living a lie
Though I'll always love you
How many times (Ooh) can we say goodbye
Oh...and how many times can we live this lie
Hey, how many times can we give it one more try (One more try)
How any times before we really (Really, really) say goodbye
Bye-bye (Goodbye) Bye-bye
(Goodbye) Bye-b-b-bye-bye-bye
(Goodbye) Ey, hey, goodbye.

Francisco
de Morais Alves, mais conhecido por Francisco Alves, Chico Alves ou Chico Viola
(Rio de janeiro, 19 de agosto de 1898 — Pindamonhangaba, 27 de setembro de 1952),
foi um dos mais populares cantores do Brasil na primeira metade do Século XX,
e considerado por muitos o maior do país. A qualidade de seu trabalho lhe
rendeu em 1933, pelo radialista César Ladeira, a alcunha de "Rei da Voz". Foi, ainda, peça decisiva
para a construção de vários gêneros populares da música.
Alves
era uma figura alta e magra; andava sempre elegante e bem penteado; muito
sorridente e avesso às bebidas. Como seu ídolo Vicente
Celestino, tinha uma voz de tenor mas, com o tempo, consolidou-se em barítono.
De origem humilde, deixou uma vasta produção de mais de quinhentos discos; sua
morte trágica causou imensa comoção no país, num sentimento que um de seus
biógrafos, David Nasser (que também era amigo e compositor de
algumas músicas por ele interpretadas), escreveu: "Tu, só tu, madeira
fria, sentirás toda agonia do silêncio do cantor". A despeito disso,
muitos no meio artístico o consideravam bruto, de poucos amigos e vários
desafetos.
Foi
dele a primeira gravação de disco elétrico feita no Brasil. Graças a ele
compositores como Cartola, Heitor dos Prazeres ou Ismael
Silva vieram a ser consagrados, o mesmo ocorrendo com várias canções que
interpretou, como Ai! que saudade da Amélia, ou a primeira
gravação do samba Aquarela do Brasil do parceiro Ary
Barroso. Representava para o país, quando de sua morte, o que o cantor Maurice
Chevalier era para a França: um "caso raro" — como então registrou o Jornal
do Brasil.
Adeus, adeus, adeus
Adeus
Adeus, adeus, adeus
Cinco letras que choram
Num soluço de dor
Adeus, adeus, adeus
É como o fim de uma estrada
Cortando a encruzilhada
Ponto final de um romance de amor
Quem parte tem os olhos rasos d'água
Ao sentir a grande mágoa
Por se despedir de alguém
Quem fica, também fica chorando
Com o coração penando
Querendo partir também
Adeus, adeus, adeus
Adeus, adeus, adeus.

Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner CBE(born 2
October 1951), known as Sting, is an English musician, singer, songwriter, and
actor. He was the principal songwriter, lead singer, and bassist for new waverock band the Policefrom 1977 to 1984, and launched a solo career in 1985. He has
included elements of rock,
jazz, reggae, classical,
new-ageand worldbeatin his music.
As a solo musician and a member of the
Police, Sting has received 17 Grammy Awards:
he won Song of the Yearfor "Every
Breath You Take", three Brit Awards,
including Best British Male Artistin 1994 and Outstanding Contribution in 2002, a Golden
Globe, an Emmyand four nominations for the Academy Award for Best Original Song. In
2019, he received a BMI Awardfor "Every Breath You Take" becoming the most played song
in radio history. In 2002, Sting received the Ivor
Novello Awardfor Lifetime Achievement from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and
Authorsand was also inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He was
inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fameas a member of
the Police in 2003. In 2000, he received a star on the Hollywood
Walk of Famefor recording. In 2003, Sting
received a CBEfrom Elizabeth IIat Buckingham Palace for services to music. He was made a Kennedy
Center Honoreeat the White House in 2014, and was
awarded the Polar Music Prizein 2017.
With the Police, Sting became one of the
world's best-selling music artists. Solo
and with the Police combined, he has sold over 100 million records. In 2006, Pasteranked him 62nd of the 100 best living songwriters. He was 63rd of VH1's 100
greatest artists of rock, and 80th of Q magazine's
100 greatest musical stars of the 20th century. He has collaborated with other
musicians on songs such as "Money for Nothing" with Dire Straits,
"Rise & Fall" with Craig David,
"All

Adamsand Rod Stewart,
"You Will Be My Ain True Love"

and introduced the North African music genre raïto Western audiences through the hit song "Desert Rose" with Cheb Mami.
In 2018, he released the álbum 44/876,
a collaboration with Jamaicanmusician Shaggy,
which won the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Albumin 2019.
The songs are still great and presumably the
assumption is that many people who have invested in a CD player since the time
of the last retrospective will welcome a fresh chance to buy in to this superb
legacy. As a
straight-down-the-line exercise in milking the market, 'Greatest Hits' thus
takes some beating.
"So Lonely" is a song by English
rock band The Police,
released as the third and final single in November 1978 from their debut studio
album Outlandos
d'Amour(1978), and again in February 1980
as a re-release. The song uses a reggae style, and featured Stingon lead vocals.
"So Lonely" has since been covered
by a variety of artists, such as Limbeckand The Militia Group.
The song is known for a famous mondegreenwhere the title is often misheard as "Sue Lawley",
a broadcaster famous for presenting Desert Island Discs on BBC Radio 4 from
1988 to 2006.
Well someone told me
yesterday
That when you throw your love away
You act as if you just don't care
You look as if you're going somewhere
But I just can't
convince myself
I couldn't live with no one else
And I can only play that part
And sit and nurse my broken heart
So lonely, so lonely,
so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely
Now no one's knocked
upon my door
For a thousand years or more
All made up and nowhere to go
Welcome to this one man show
Just take a seat
they're always free
No surprise no mystery
In this theatre that I call my soul
I always play the starring role
So lonely, so lonely,
so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely,

sweeping widescreencinematography,
and Ennio Morriconecomposed the film's scoreincluding its main theme.
It is an Italian-led
production with co-producers in Spain, West Germany and the United States.
The film is known for Leone's use of long shotsand close-upcinematography, as well as his distinctive use of violence, tension,
and stylistic gunfights.
The plot revolves around three gunslingerscompeting to find fortune in a buried cache of Confederate goldamid the violent chaos of the American
Civil War(specifically the New
Mexico Campaignin 1862), while
participating in many battles and duels along the way. The film was the third
collaboration between Leone and Clint Eastwood, and the second with Lee Van

following A
Fistful of Dollarsand For
a Few Dollars More. The film was a financial
success, grossing over $25 million at the box office, and is credited with
having catapulted Eastwood into stardom. Due to general disapproval of the
Spaghetti Western genre at the time, critical reception of the film following
its release was mixed, but it gained critical acclaim in later years.

And when the morning sun reveals her hills and plain
Then I see a land where children can run free
So take my hand and walk this land with me
And walk this lovely land with me
Though I am just a man, when you are by my side
With the help of God, I know I can be strong
Though I am just a man, when you are by my side
With the help of God, I know I can be strong

If I must fight, I'll fight to make this land our own
Until I die, this land is mine.

William John Evans (August 16, 1929 –
September 15, 1980) was an American jazzpianist and composer who mostly played in trios. His use of
impressionist harmony, inventive interpretation of traditional jazz repertoire,
block chors,
and trademark rhythmically independent, "singing" melodic lines
continues to influence jazz pianists today.
Born in Plainfield,
New Jersey, in 1929, he was classically
trained at Southeastern Louisiana Universityand the Mannes
School of Music, where he majored in composition
and received the Artist Diploma. In 1955, he moved to New York City, where he
worked with bandleader and theorist George Russell. In 1958, Evans joined Miles Davis's
sextet, which in 1959, then immersed in modal jazz,
recorded Kind of Blue,
the best-selling jazz album of all time. During that time, Evans was also
playing with Chet Bakerfor the album Chet.
In late 1959, Evans left the Miles Davis band
and began his career as a leader, with bassist Scott LaFaroand drummer Paul
Motian, a group now regarded as a seminal modern
jazz trio. In 1961,
ten days after finishing an engagement at the New York Village Vanguard jazz
club, LaFaro died in a car accident. After months of seclusion,
Evans reemerged with a new trio, featuring bassist Chuck Israels.
In 1963, Evans recorded Conversations with Myself, a solo
album using the unconventional technique of overdubbing himself. In 1966, he
met bassist Eddie
Gómez, with whom he worked for 11 years.
Many
of Evans's compositions, such as "Waltz for Debby", have become
standards, played and recorded by many artists. Evans
received 31 Grammynominations
and seven awards, and was inducted into the Down Beat Jazz Hall of Fame.
"Polka Dots and Moonbeams" is a popularsongwith
music by Jimmy Van Heusenand lyrics by Johnny
Burke, published in 1940.
It was Frank Sinatra's
first hit recorded with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra.
The song is one of the top 100 most-frequently recorded jazz standardswith arrangements by Gil Evansand others and notable recordings by Bill Evans,
Blue Mitchell,
Wes Montgomery,
Sarah Vaughan(for the 1954 album Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown, and the
1957 album Swingin' Easy),
Bud Powell,
Lester Young,
Gerry Mulligan,
Lou Donaldson,
Dexter Gordonand many others American songwriter and guitarist John Denveralso covered the song on his 1976 Spiritalbum. Bob Dylancovered this song in his 2016 album Fallen Angels.
The
song has a notable lyric: the man discovers love at a country dance by
accidentally bumping into a woman who has a pug nose. The others at the dance
are looking strange at this, since her nose makes her someone they wouldn't
think romantically about. But he has the last laugh: she becomes the love of
his life, and he settles down with her.
During the song's first year, a fashion
designer even created a "Polka Dots and Moonbeams" fabric print as
part of a series of prints inspired by popular music.
Wes Montgomery's version would later be
sampled in Doja Cat's
2018 single, Mooo!

Apesar de ser sucedida em diversos outros géneros musicais, Cesária Évora foi
maioritariamente relacionada com a morna, por isso também apelidada de "rainha da
morna". Era conhecida como a diva dos pés descalços. O filme Tchindas presta
tributo a sua música.

um ponto final na longa carreira.
