John Royce "Johnny" Mathis (born September 30, 1935) is an American singer of popular music and jazz. Starting his career with singles of standard music, he became highly popular as an album artist, with several dozen of his albums achieving gold or platinum status and 73 making the Billboard charts to date. Mathis has sold well over 350 million records worldwide, according to Guinness Book of World Records writer and charts music historian Paul Gambaccini and other sources. This makes Mathis the third biggest selling artist of the 20th century.

Although he is frequently described as a romantic singer, his discography includes jazz, traditional pop, Brazilian music, Spanish music, soul music, rhythm and blues, soft rock, Broadway theatre, Tin Pan Alley standards, some blues and country songs, and even a few disco songs for his album Mathis Magic in 1979. Mathis also recorded six albums of Christmas music. In a 1968 interview, Mathis cited Lena Horne, Nat King Cole, and Bing Crosby among his musical influences.

I must be going (Don't go)

My heart is showing (Don't go)

I better hurry away

If I don't leave I'll be sorry

What will my Mary say?

Your lips are thrilling

My arms are willing

I know that I shouldn't stay

If I don't leave I'll be sorry

What will my Mary say?

What would I do if she should need me

And find me kissing you?

She's always trusted me completely

Her poor heart would break in two

I must be going (Don't go)

My heart is showing (Don't go)

I better hurry away

If I don't leave I'll be sorry

What will my Mary say?

If I don't leave I'll be sorry

What will my Mary say?

(Don't go)

(Don't go)

MISTS OF TIME 

JOHN MAYALL AND THE BLUESBREAKERS

Songwriter: JOHN MAYALL

Country: U.K.

Album: STORIES

Label: EAGLE RECORDS

genre: BLUES ROCK

Year: 2002

John Mayall, 69 years of age at the time of this recording, is at the very least irrepressible. He and his many versions of the Bluesbreakers have hit the road every year for decades, and the five years leading up to the release of Stories offer a flurry of activity that hasn't been seen from him since the 1970s. The Bluesbreakers lineup here has been with him since Spinning Coin, and includes Joe Yuele on drums, guitarist Buddy Whittington, Hank Van Sickle on bass, and Tom Canning on keyboards. Like the young hip-hop kids who self reference ubiquitously, Mayall writes more songs about blues music or playing the blues than virtually any musician in history, and Stories seems to be a series of narrative songs that are, for the most part, about various blues giants of the past, such as a reminiscence about seeing Little Walter in "Southside Story" or a paean to Leadbelly in "Oh, Leadbelly," various blues myths such as "I Thought I Heard the Devil" and "The Witching Hour," or exhortations for young people to take up the blues mantle ("Kids Got the Blues"). There are other tracks, however, like the excellent political minor-key shuffle "Dirty Water" -- no, not that one. The best track on the album is a country-style Bo Diddley shuffle called "Feels Just Like Home," the only love song on the record and it's a stunner. The production is crisp, perhaps a little too, and the playing is inspired. Mayall's harmonica playing is as fine as ever, and if there is one complaint about the last few records, it's the overplaying of Whittington, who is a stunning guitar player in the modern style. Mayall reins him in a bit here (though not enough) and as a result the songs – because Mayall is a fine writer -- come shining through the instrumental prowess. This is a worthy inclusion in one of the most prolific and consistent catalogs in blues-rock history.

Somewhere in the world

Are friends I've missed from long ago

Could be drifting by the wayside

Or even dead - I just don´t know

And now my memories are fading

Like melting footprints in the snow

Sometimes a dream will haunt me

And I see a young girl's face

Was she once for real

And did she really share my space

Within the swirling mists of time

It's hard to keep a track of year and place

I thought about my mother

When she was young and on the road

Hanging out with my musicians

Or camping out in forest groves

Like gray mists conceal horizons

I miss those times we'll share no more

So far my life's a journey

And even if I could I wouldn't change a thing

All those years of bold adventures

The highs and lows that make me sing

Within the swirling mists of time

Such sweet memories still often ring

CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU

LABEL: HALLMARK RECORDS

GENRE: POP

YEAR: 1968

"Can't Take My Eyes off You" é um single de 1967 interpretado por Frankie Valli. O tema foi um dos maiores êxitos de Valli, alcançando o segundo lugar na Billboard Hot 100, arrecadando um disco de ouro, apenas suplantado em 1975, quando "My Eyes Adored You" atingiu o primeiro lugar no mesmo chart. A canção teve um enorme impacto cultural, com centenas de covers, muitos dos quais estiveram eles próprios nas paradas, em diferentes países. A canção é um marco e amiúde utilizada nas séries televisivas e "spots" de publicitários de todo o mundo, como também nas trilhas (bandas pt-eu) sonoras de filmes, e mesmo integrando o enredo de alguns filmes, como quando os protagonistas principais cantam ou organizam a sua própria versão.

A NASA fez passar a versão original como canção de despertar, no dia 23 de novembro de 2008, data do 23º aniversário de casamento do astronauta Christopher Ferguson a bordo e comandante da missão STS-126 do space shuttle OV-105 Endeavour. WAV MP3 TRANSCRIPT

Howard Andrew Williams, conhecido como Andy Williams (Wall Lake, 3 de dezembro de 1927 - Branson, 25 de setembro de 2012) foi um cantor estadunidense famoso por sucessos como a canção-tema do filme Bonequinha de Luxo, "Moon River".

You're just too good to be true

Can' t take my eyes off you

You'd be like heaven to touch

I wanna hold you so much

At long last love has arrived

And I thank God I'm alive

You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off you

Pardon the way that I stare

There's nothing else to compare

The sight of you leaves me weak

There are no words left to speak

And if you feel like I feel

Please let me know that it's real

You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off you

I love you baby, and if it's quite alright

I need you baby to warm the lonely night

I love you baby

Trust in me when I say

Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray

Oh pretty baby, now that I've found you stay

And let me love you baby

Let me love you

You're just too good to be true

Can' t take my eyes off you

You'd be like heaven to touch

I wanna hold you so much

I love you baby, and if it's quite alright

I need you baby to warm the lonely night

I love you baby

Trust in me when I say

Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray

Oh pretty baby, now that I've found you stay

And let me love you baby

Let me love you

SMOKE ON THE WATER

PAT BOONE

SONGWRITER: DEEP PURPLE

COUNTRY: U.S.A.

ALBUM: IN A METAL MOOD: NO MORE MR. NICE GUY

LABEL: HIP-O RECORDS

GENRE: SWING

YEAR: 1997

In a Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy is a 1997 album by Pat Boone in which Boone covers hard rock and heavy metal songs in a jazz/big band style. Boone promoted the album by appearing in leather clothing (and, at that year's American Music Awards, wearing a dog collar). He succeeded in propelling Metal Mood onto the Billboard record charts (making it Boone's first hit album in 35 years), but it did not please some of his older, longtime fans who considered the heavy metal genre in bad taste, or worse. The album has since become somewhat popular as a joke gift to metal fans (as often indicated in reviews given to it) although some serious sites have given it good reviews on its own merits. The album featured guest appearances from well-known rock musicians such as Ronnie James Dio and Ritchie Blackmore.

In October of the same year, and in a similar vein, Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gormé covered Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" in a lounge-jazz style on the 1997 compilation album release, Lounge-A-Palooza. This idea of giving rock hits a "standards" treatment was imitated later by Boone's contemporary Paul Anka in the 2005 album Rock Swings, which also featured Anka doing a cover of "Black Hole Sun".

We all came out to Montreux

On the Lake Geneva shoreline

To make records with a mobile

We didn't have much time

Frank Zappa and the Mothers

Were at the best place in town

When some stupid with a flare gun

Burned the place to the ground

Smoke on the water

A fire in the sky

Smoke on the water

They burned down the gambling house

It died with an awful sound

Funky Claude was running in and out

Dragging kids out the ground

When it all was over

We had to find another place

Swiss time was running out

It seemed that we would lose the race

Smoke on the water

A fire in the sky

Smoke on the water

We ended up at the grand hotel

It was empty, cold and bare

And with the rolling truck stones thing just outside

We made our music there

With a few red lights and a few old beds

We made a place to sweat

No matter what we get out of this

I know I know we'll never forget

Smoke on the water

A fire in the sky

Smoke on the water.
