"A Taste of Honey"
is a pop standard written by Bobby Scott and Ric Marlow. It was originally an
instrumental track (or recurring theme) written for the 1960 Broadway version
of the 1958 British play A Taste of Honey (which was also made into the film of
the same name in 1961). Both the original and a later recording by Herb Alpert in
1965 earned the song four Grammy Awards. A vocal version of the song, first
recorded by Billy Dee Williams (and released in 1961 on the Prestige label),
was recorded by the Beatles for their first album in 1963. Barbra Streisand had
performed the song as part of her cabaret act during 1962, and recorded it for
her debut álbum The Barbra Streisand Album on Columbia, which won a Grammy for
Album of the Year (1963).
Winds may blow over the icy sea
I'll take with me the warmth of thee
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wine
I will return
I'll return
I'll come back for the honey and you
I'll leave behind my heart to wear
And may it ever remind you of
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wine
I will return
I'll return
I'll come back for the honey and you
Yes, I'll leave behind my heart to wear
And may it ever remind you of
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wine
Honey, sweeter than wine.

Dreamland Express is the
18th album by American singer-songwriter John Denver released in June 1985. The
singles from this album were "Dreamland Express" and "Don't
Close Your Eyes Tonight".
There's a tenderness that I feel, very real you see. I can feel your
body stir, so deep within.
Let it be an act of love tonight, completely. Let me ask of you
one thing:
Don't close your eyes tonight. Just look at me, and see how many times I
cried for you.
Don't close your eyes tonight. Let it be me, not just a fantasy, let it be
me tonight.
You can lie so close to someone and still feel all alone.
Although I've heard you say you love me so many times.
When you give me love so beautiful and tender, someone else is in your
mind.
Don't close your eyes tonight. Just look at me, and see how many times I
cried for you.
Don't close your eyes tonight. Let it be me, not just a fantasy, let it be
me tonight.
Sorry if I cry, feelings run so deep.
Many is the time when I wake up and find I've been crying in my sleep.
Look me in the eye, tell me what you see,
I'm the one who loves you, I'm the one who needs you, make this one for
me.
Don't close your eyes tonight. Just look at me, and see how many times I
cried for you.
Don't close your eyes tonight. Let it be me, not just a fantasy, let it be
me tonight.
Don't close your eyes tonight. Just look at me, and see how many times I
cried for you.
Don't close your eyes tonight. Let it be me, not just a fantasy, let it be
me tonight.

Are So Beautiful" reached number five in the US. Cocker was the recipient
of several awards, including a 1983 Grammy Award for his US number one "Up
Where We Belong", a duet with Jennifer Warnes.
In 1993, Cocker was
nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Male, in 2007 was awarded a
bronze Sheffield Legends plaque in his hometown and in 2008 he received an OBE at
Buckingham Palace for services to music. Cocker was ranked number 97 on Rolling
Stone's 100 greatest singers list.
What would you do if I sang out of
tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me ?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
What do I do when my love is away
(Does it worry you to be alone ?)
How do I feel by the end of the day
(Are you sad because you're on your own ?)
No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love
Would you believe in a love at first sight
Yes I'm certain that it happen all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light
I can't tell you but I know it's mine
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody, I just need someone to love
Could it be anybody, I want somebody to love
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
with a little help from my friends.

I Put a Spell on You is a
1965 album by jazz singer/pianist/songwriter Nina Simone for Philips Records.
Described by AllMusic reviewer Richie Unterberger as "One of her most
pop-oriented albums, but also one of her best and most consistent", the
album features some of Simone's best known songs. On July 24th, 2017, NPR released
an article ranking 150 of the greatest albums by women, Simone's 1965 album was
ranked #3 overall.
Nina Simone (/ˈniːnəsɪˈmoʊn/;
born Eunice Kathleen Waymon; February 21, 1933 – April 21, 2003) was an
American singer, songwriter, pianist, arranger, and activist in the Civil
Rights Movement. Simone employed a broad range of musical styles including classical,
jazz, blues, folk, R&B, gospel, and pop.
Born in North Carolina,
the sixth child of a preacher, Waymon aspired to be a concert pianist. With the
help of a few supporters in her hometown of Tryon, North Carolina, she enrolled
in the Juilliard School of Music in New York.
Waymon then applied for a
scholarship to study at the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia,
where she was denied despite a well-received audition. Waymon became fully
convinced this rejection had been entirely due to racial discrimination. Years later, two days before her
death, the Curtis Institute of Music bestowed on her an honorary degree.
