          Deny e Dino foi uma dupla musical brasileira formada inicialmente pelos cantores e compositores José Rodrigues da Silva, o Deny (Santos, 1944) e Décio Scarpelli, o Dino (Santos, 1942São Paulo 1994)
         A dupla se conheceu em Santos, em 1956, e no final da década de 1950 formavam "Os Boas Pintas", que cantava nas rádios e boates. Nos anos 60, convidados para participar dos programas de televisão de Hugo Santana, adotaram os cognomes de Deny e Dino, e na época gravaram o primeiro compacto, para a Odeon, em 1966, com a música Coruja (da dupla), que obteve grande sucesso. Participantes do programa Jovem Guarda, da TV Record, em São Paulo, lançaram várias composições, como “Eu não me importo”, “Lição de moral”, “O estranho homem do disco voador”, incluídas todas no LP Coruja, que vendeu mais de dois milhões de cópias, um feito inacreditável para a época.
            Em 1969 a dupla gravou o LP Deny e Dino, também pela Odeon. Outros sucessos foram: O maior golpe do mundo (Continental, 1975), com música-título de Marcos Lago e Dino Rossi, e Cantem comigo (Top Tape, 1973).
           A dupla gravou mais de 30 compactos e 10 LPs e participou de muitos programas de televisão da década de 1960. Assunto obrigatório em jornais e revistas, a dupla esteve com muitas outras músicas nas paradas de sucesso da época e ganhou vários discos de ouro e troféus como os famosos Chico Viola e Roquete Pinto.
           Suas músicas também foram tocadas em todos os países da América Latina.
        Após a morte de Dino, em 1994, Deny continuou carreira com outro parceiro, Elliot de Souza Reis, que desde 1996 manteve o cognome Dino, e gravou o CD Essencial (selo Acervo, 1995), com regravações de antigos sucessos ao lado de músicas novas. Deny participou também de shows comemorativos dos 30 anos da Jovem Guarda e passou a apresentar programas de rádio dedicados ao rock das décadas de 1950 e 1960.
        Atualmente Deny mora no bairro do Jardim Suarão, na Baixada Santista.

Coruja ah ah ah
O nome que eu dei àquele alguém
Que passa e nem sequer olha ninguém
Pensando que é a dona do lugar, do lugar

coruja ah ah ah
Você agindo assim só vai sofrer
Pois chegará um dia em que ninguém vai perceber
Que existe uma coruja no lugar

Coruja...
É a indiferença de um brotinho encantador
Coruja...
É um nome feio que nos causa até tremor

Coruja...
Agora eu sei por que não olhas para mim
É conseqüência de um orgulho sem fim, sem fim

Coruja ah ah ah
Procure ser amável com alguém
Não negue o seu olhar nem seu amor pra mais ninguém
Assim você feliz só sorrirá

Domenico Modugno (1959) è l'8º album di Domenico Modugno.
Nella sua discografia è il terzo (dei sette) che si intitola con il nome e cognome dell'artista.
Come era consuetudine in quegli anni, anche questo disco racchiude alcune canzoni già pubblicate su 45 giri.
Tra esse possiamo ricordare senza dubbio Piove, la canzone con cui, pochi mesi prima, Modugno aveva vinto per la seconda volta consecutiva il Festival di Sanremo, dove era stata presentata in coppia con Johnny Dorelli, Non restar fra gli angeli, scritta per il testo da un giovane cantautore quasi al debutto, Gianni Meccia, ed un successo dell'anno precedente, Io, scritto in collaborazione con Franco Migliacci.
Come prima più di prima t'amerò
La mia vita per la vita ti darò
Sembra un sogno rivederti accarezzarti
Le tue mani nelle mani stringere ancor

Come prima più di prima t'amerò
La mia vita per la vita ti darò
Ogni giorno ogni istante dolcemente ti dirò
Come prima più di prima t'amerò

Come prima più di prima t'amerò
La mia vita per la vita ti darò
Sembra un sogno rivederti accarezzarti
Le tue mani nelle mani stringere ancor

Come prima più di prima t'amerò
La mia vita per la vita ti darò
Ogni giorno ogni istante dolcemente ti dirò
Come prima più di prima t'amerò

Come prima più di prima t'amerò.

"Don't Get Around Much Anymore" is a jazz standard with music by Duke Ellington and lyrics by Bob Russell. The tune was originally called "Never No Lament" and was first recorded by Duke Ellington and His Famous Orchestra on May 4, 1940 as a big-band instrumental. Russell's lyrics were added in 1942.
Two different recordings of "Don't Get Around Much Anymore", one by The Ink Spots and the other by Ellington's own band, reached No. 1 on the R&B chart in the US in 1943. Both were top-ten pop records, along with a version by Glen Gray. The Duke Ellington version reached No. 8 on the pop chart.
Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore

I thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Well darling, I guess that my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories?

I've been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
It's awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore

Darling, I guess, my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories?

They've been invited on dates
I might have gone but what for
It's awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore
Oh baby, don't get around much anymore.

     Harry Belafonte(born Harold George Bellanfanti Jr.; March 1, 1927) is an American singer, songwriter, activist, and actor. As arguably the most successful Jamaican-American pop star, he popularized the Trinbagonian Caribbean musical style with an international audience in the 1950s. His breakthrough album Calypso(1956) was the first million-selling LP by a single artist.
      Belafonte is best known for his recordings of "The Banana Boat Song", with its signature "Day-O" lyric, and "Jamaica Farewell". He has recorded and performed in many genres, including blues, folk, gospel, show tunes, and American standards. He has also starred in several films, including Carmen Jones(1954), Island in the Sun(1957), and Odds Against Tomorrow(1959).
    Belafonte considered the actor, singer and activist Paul Robeson a mentor, and was a close confidant of Martin Luther King Jr. in the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s. As he later recalled, "Paul Robeson had been my first great formative influence; you might say he gave me my backbone. Martin King was the second; he nourished my soul." Throughout his career, Belafonte has been an advocate for political and humanitarian causes, such as the Anti-Apartheid Movement and USA for Africa. Since 1987, he has been a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. He was a vocal critic of the policies of the George W. Bush presidential administrations. Belafonte acts as the American Civil Liberties Union celebrity ambassador for juvenile justice issues.
   Belafonte has won three Grammy Awards(including a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award), an Emmy Award, and a Tony Award. In 1989, he received the Kennedy Center Honors. He was awarded the National Medal of Arts in 1994. In 2014, he received the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the Academy's 6th Annual Governors Awards and in 2022 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the Early Influence category and is the oldest living person to have received the honor.
       In 1952 Harry Belafonte, at his third session for RCA Records, covered the song with an arrangement using his guitarist Millard Thomas and male vocal group. The four-year-old recording finally became a success in 1956 after it appeared on his second album, which reached Nº 1 on Billboard's album chart for six weeks and stayed on the chart for over a year. The song reached Nº 18 on the UK's New Musical Express chart in late 1957
        "Scarlet Ribbons (For Her Hair)" is a popular song. The music was written by Evelyn Danzig and the lyrics by Jack Segal. The song has become a standard with many recorded versions and has appeared on several Christmas albums.
         "Scarlet Ribbons" was written in only 15 minutes in 1949 at Danzig's home in Port Washington, New York after she invited lyricist Segal to hear her music. The song tells a miraculous tale: a father hears his small daughter pray before she goes to bed for "scarlet ribbons for her hair". It is late, no stores are open in their town, nor is there anywhere the dad can obtain the ribbons so he is distraught throughout the night. At dawn he again peeps in and is amazed to see beautiful "scarlet ribbons" in "gay profusion lying there." He says that if he lives to be two hundred, he will never know from where the ribbons came.
I peeked in to say good-night
When I heard my child in prayer
"And for me, some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair"

All our stores were closed and shuttered
All the streets were dark and bare
In our town, no scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair

Through the night my heart was aching
Just before the dawn was breaking
In our town, no scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair

I peeked in and on her bed
In gay profusion lying there
Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair

If I live to be a hundred
I will never know from where
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair.
