YEAR 1961

"Hello Mary Lou" is a song written by U.S. singer Gene Pitney first recorded by Johnny Duncan in 1960, and later by Ricky Nelson in 1961.

Nelson's version, issued as the B-side of his No. 1 hit "Travelin' Man", (Imperial 5741), reached No. 9 on the Billboard music charts on May 28, 1961. In the United Kingdom, where it was released as an A-side (with "Travelin' Man" as the B-side), it reached No. 2. It was also a hit in much of Europe, particularly Norway, where it spent 14 weeks at No. 1. In New Zealand, the song reached No. 4.

A 1991 reissue following the song's use in a TV advert gave the song a second chart run, peaking at No. 45 in the UK Singles Chart.

The song features an influential guitar solo by James Burton, often cited by later guitarists such as Brian May. Piano is by Ray Johnson, who had succeeded Gene Garf as Nelson's regular session pianist in November 1959. Other musicians on the record include Joe Osborne on bass and Ritchie Frost on drums.

The song appears on Nelson's sixth album Rick Is 21.

Eric Hilliard Nelson (May 8, 1940 – December 31, 1985) was an American actor, musician, and singer-songwriter. From age eight he starred alongside his family in the radio and television series The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. In 1957 he began a long and successful career as a popular recording artist. As one of the top "teen idols" of the 1950s his fame led to a motion picture role co-starring alongside John Wayne and Dean Martin in Howard Hawks's western feature film Rio Bravo (1959). He placed 53 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 between 1957 and 1973 including "Poor Little Fool", which holds the distinction of being the first #1 song on Billboard magazine's then-newly created Hot 100 chart. He recorded 19 additional Top 10 hits and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on January 21, 1987. In 1996, he was ranked #49 on TV Guide's 50 Greatest TV Stars of All Time.

Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart

Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you

I knew Mary Lou, we'd never part

So hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart

You passed me by one sunny day

Flashed those big brown eyes my way

And oo I wanted you forever more

Now I'm not one that gets around

Swear my feet stuck to the ground

And though I never did meet you before

I said, hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart

Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you

I knew Mary Lou, we'd never part

So hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart

I saw your lips I heard your voice

Believe me I just had no choice

Wild horses couldn't make me stay away

I thought about a moonlit night

My arms about good an' tight

That's all I had to see for me to say

Hey, hey, hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart

Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you

I knew Mary Lou, we'd never part

So hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart

So hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart

Yes hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart.

É água no mar, é maré cheia ô

Mareia ô, mareia

É água no mar

É água no mar, é maré cheia ô

Mareia ô, mareia

É água no mar

Contam que toda tristeza

Que tem na Bahia

Nasceu de uns olhos morenos

Molhados de mar

Não sei se é conto de areia

Ou se é fantasia

Que a luz da candeia alumia

Pra gente contar

Um dia morena enfeitada

De rosas e rendas

Abriu seu sorriso de moça

E pediu pra dançar

A noite emprestou as estrelas

Bordadas de prata

E as águas de Amaralina

Eram gotas de luar.

Era um peito só

Cheio de promessa era só

Era um peito só cheio de promessa

Era um peito só

Cheio de promessa era só

Era um peito só cheio de promessa

Quem foi que mandou

O seu amor

Se fazer de canoeiro

O vento que rola das palmas

Arrasta o veleiro

E leva pro meio das águas

de Iemanjá

E o mestre valente vagueia

Olhando pra areia sem poder chegar

Adeus, amor

Adeus, meu amor

Não me espera

Porque eu já vou-me embora

Pro reino que esconde os tesouros

De minha senhora

Desfia colares de conchas

Pra vida passar

E deixa de olhar pros veleiros

Adeus meu amor eu não vou mais voltar

Foi Beira-Mar, foi Beira-Mar que chamou

Foi Beira-Mar ê, foi Beira-Mar

Era um peito só

Cheio de promessa era só

Era um peito só cheio de promessa.

Writer: Curly Putman

Producer: Felton Jarvis

Álbum: today

Label: rca victor

Genre: country rock

Year: 1975

  The Today sessions were held in RCA's Studio C, Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, March 10–12, 1975, and marked the last timeElvis Presley would record in a studio. Elvis last recorded at Studio C, Hollywood in 1972 where he recorded the gold records "Burning Love" and "Separate Ways". At this time, Elvis was 40 years old. He was accompanied by his then-current girlfriend, Sheila Ryan. In the 2005 FTD TODAY release from these sessions, Elvis asked her to "step up here Sheila, let me sing to ya baby" on Take 1 of Don McLean's "And I Love You So". He continued to make "And I Love You So" and "Fairytale" a part of his live concerts until his death. On stage, he often referred to "Fairytale" as the story of his life.

The old home town looks the same,
As I step down from the train,
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

Yes, they'll all be there to meet me,
All creatures smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

The old house is still standing,
Though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's an old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I'll walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

Then I awake and look around me
Cold gray walls surround me
And I realize that I was only dreamin'
There's a guard and there's a sad old padre
Arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak
Again I'll touch the green, green grass of home

Yes, they'll all be there to meet me
In the shadow of that old oak tree
As they lay me beneath the green, green grass of home

O I Santo California é um grupo musical italiano surgido nos anos 1970.

O grupo oriundo da Campania, sudeste da Itália, inicialmente era formado por três jovens amigos que batizaram a banda com o nome de "The New Frontier" tendo tocado em clubes, nas festas de praças e nas margens da Costa Amalfitana no verão. Em 1974 eles se apresentaram no palco de um festival local em Nocera Inferiore, quando foram notados por Elio Palumbo, produtor musical romano que trouxe os três rapazes com ele para Roma, na gravadora Yep com o qual assinaram um contrato e mudaram o nome da banda para I Santo Califórnia.

Non sei più accanto a me
Ma io non ti scorderò
Sento ancora il dolce viso tuo
Tra le mie mani

Quanto amore ancora c´è
Questa stanza cerca te
Quanto tempo che mi porto ormai
Ti aspetterò

Tu dolce amore mio
Tornerai qui da me
Tornerò
Ti aspetterò

Dolce amore mio
Sono solo in questa stanza
Che è vuota senza te
In questo silenzio senza vita
C´è ancora il tuo profumo
Ritorna, io ti aspetterò
