YEAR: 1954

Thomas Francis Dorsey Jr. (November 19, 1905 – November 26, 1956) was an American jazz trombonist, composer, conductor and bandleader of the big band era. He was known as the "Sentimental Gentleman of Swing" because of his smooth-toned trombone playing. His technical skill on the trombone gave him renown among other musicians. He was the younger brother of bandleader Jimmy Dorsey. After Dorsey broke with his brother in the mid-1930s, he led an extremely popular and highly successful band from the late 1930s into the 1950s. He is best remembered for standards such as "Opus One", "Song of India", "Marie", "On Treasure Island", and his biggest hit single, "I'll Never Smile Again".

Marie, Marie, Marie

Marie, the dawn is breaking

Marie, (ooh, Marie) you'll soon be waking

To find you heart is aching

And tears (and tears) will fall (will fall) as you recall

The moon in all it's splendor

A kiss (ooh, a kiss) so very tender

The words, "Will you surrender

To me, (Marie), Marie, (Marie-ee)?"

Marie, you'll soon be waking

To find you heart is aching

And tears (and tears) will fall (will fall) as you recall

The moon in all it's splendor

A kiss (ooh, a kiss) so very tender

The words, "Will you surrender

To me, (Marie), Marie, (Marie) Marie (Marie-ee-ee)?"

ALBUM: BRAIN SALAD SURGERY

LABEL: MANTICORE

GENRE: ROCK

YEAR: 1973

Brain Salad Surgery is the fourth studio album by English progressive rock band Emerson, Lake & Palmer, released on 19 November 1973 by their own record label, Manticore Records, and distributed by Atlantic Records.

Following the tour in support of the last album, Trilogy(1972), the group acquired rehearsal facilities to work on new material, which would blend classical and rock themes. In order to control things, they launched their own record company, Manticore, in March 1973. The album was recorded from June to September at Olympic and Advision Studios, and mixed in October 1973 at AIR Studios in London. As were all the group's previous works, it was produced by Greg Lake. The album includes a cover designed by H. R. Giger.

Released to a mixed critical response, it has begun to receive more favourable reviews with time. Brain Salad Surgery continued the group's commercial success, reaching number 2 in the United Kingdom and number 11 in the United States, and eventually gaining Gold certifications in both countries. In its support, the trio embarked on their largest world tour to date, including a headlining spot at the California Jam festival.

Do you want to be an angel

Do you want to be a star

Do you want to play some magic on my guitar?

Do you want to be a poet

Do you want to be my string?

You could be anything

Do you want to be the lover of another

Undercover? You could even be the man on the moon

Do you want to be the player

Do you want to be the string?

Let me just tell you something

It just don't mean a thing

You see it really doesn't matter

When you're buried in disguise

By the dark glass on your eyes

Though your flesh has crystalised

Still you turn me on.

Do you want to be the pillow where I lay my head

Do you want to be the feathers lying in my bed?

Do you want to be a colour cover magazine

Create a scene

Every day a little sadder

A little madder

Someone get me a ladder

Do you want to be the singer

Do you want to be the song?

Let me tell you something

You just couldn't be more wrong

You see I really have to tell you

That it all gets so intense

From my experience

It just doesn't seem to make sense

Still you turn me on.

"Now and Forever (You and Me)" is a hit song written by David Foster, Randy Goodrum and Jim Vallance and recorded by Canadian Country vocalist Anne Murray. It was aided by a popular music video, filmed in Toronto. The back-up vocal was sung by Richard Page, lead singer for the Pop group Mr. Mister.

It was released in January 1986 as the first single from the Gold-certified album Something to Talk About. The cut was Murray's tenth #1 hit on the U.S. Country singles chart and spent six weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. It remained for a total of nineteen weeks on the Billboard Country chart. (This was Murray's final 45 to cross over to the U.S. 'Pop' chart.)

Murray was the first Canadian female solo singer to reach No. 1 on the U.S. charts, and also the first to earn a Gold record for one of her signature songs, "Snowbird" (1970). She is often cited as the one who paved the way for other international Canadian success stories such as k.d. lang, Céline Dion, and Shania Twain. She is also the first woman and the first Canadian to win "Album of the Year" at the 1984 Country Music Association Awards for her Gold-plus 1983 album A Little Good News.

Up until now I've learned to live without love

Like a ship without a sail, wandering aimlessly lost

I never knew how it felt to lose my control

Now that I've found you, this is all so new

You and me, we've got a destiny

Starting tonight we'll be together

You and me, this is what love should be

And it's gonna be right, now and forever

Darlin', inside your eyes I can see mysteries there

And you're melting the ice surrounding me, I'm no longer scared

I feel you inside my soul and I'm captured tonight

But don't let go, this is paradise

You and me, we've got a destiny

Starting tonight we'll be together

You and me, this is what love should be

And it's gonna be right, if you tell me

There's a heaven up above, then that's what I'll believe

'cause you're the one thing that I'm so sure of

I feel you inside my soul and I'm captive tonight

But don't let go, this is paradise

You and me, we've got a destiny

Starting tonight we'll be together

You and me, this is what love should be

And it's gonna be right, now and forever

You and me, we've got a destiny

Starting tonight we'll be together

You and me, this is what love should be

And it's gonna be right

Woo ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.

If I could make a wish,

I think I'd pass.

Can't think of anything I need -

No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound,

Nothing to eat, no books to read.

Making love with you

Has left me peaceful, warm, and tired.

What more could I ask?

There's nothing left to be desired.

Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak.

So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep.

Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe

And to love you.

All I need is the air that I breathe,

Yes, to love you.

All I need is the air that I breathe.

Making love with you

Has left me peaceful, warm, and tired.

What more could I ask?

There's nothing left to be desired.

Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe

And to love you.

All I need is the air that I breathe,

Yes, to love you.

All I need is the air that I breathe.

Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak.

So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep.

Sleep, silent angel, go to sleep.
