Doris Day(born Doris Mary Anne Kappelhoff; April 3, 1922 – May 13, 2019) was an American actress, singer, and animal welfare activist. She began her career as a big band singer in 1939, achieving commercial success in 1945 with two No. 1 recordings, "Sentimental Journey" and "My Dreams Are Getting Better All the Time" with Les Brown & His Band of Renown. She left Brown to embark on a solo career and recorded more than 650 songs from 1947 to 1967.
Day's film career began during the latter part of the Golden Age of Hollywood with the film Romance on the High Seas(1948), leading to a 20-year career as a motion picture actress. She starred in films of many genres, including musicals, comedies, dramas, and thrillers. She played the title role in Calamity Jane(1953) and starred in Alfred Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much(1956) with James Stewart. Her best-known films are those in which she co-starred with Rock Hudson, chief among them 1959's Pillow Talk, for which she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress. She also worked with James Garner on both Move Over, Darling (1963) and The Thrill of It All(1963), and starred alongside Clark Gable, Cary Grant, James Cagney, David Niven, Jack Lemmon, Frank Sinatra, Richard Widmark, Kirk Douglas, Lauren Bacall and Rod Taylor in various movies. After ending her film career in 1968, only briefly removed from the height of her popularity, she starred in her own sitcom The Doris Day Show(1968–1973).
Again, this couldn't happen again

This is that once in a lifetime
This is the thrill divine

What's more, this never happened before
Though I have prayed for a lifetime
That such as you would suddenly be mine

Mine to hold as I'm holding you now and yet never so near
Mine to have when the now and the here disappear
What matters, dear, for

When this doesn't happen again
We'll have this moment forever
But never, never again (never, never)
We'll have this moment for ev er
But never, never again (never, never).

The #1 Grammy-winning "I Am Woman" became not only THE anthem of the feminist movement during the radical 1970s, but also the signature song for its crop-haired composer and singer Helen Reddy. Three decades later this is the hit people still remember her for, despite the fact she had an abundance of other "top ten" records over the course of her long career.
Helen Maxine Lamond Reddy was born in Melbourne, Australia, to showbiz parents, comedy actor/producer/writer Max Reddy and singer/soap opera actress Stella Lamond. She has English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh ancestry. Helen began performing at the age of four at the Tivoli Theatre in Perth, Australia, touring much of her native country with her parents. She left boarding school at age 15 to work on the road singing and acting. Her musical style is best described as a light amalgam of rhythm and blues, easy rock and jazz. Her soothing, quivery vocals and equally warm appeal was instantly embraced, eventually earning her own Australian radio show. "Helen Reddy Sings" aired twice weekly on the Australian Broadcasting Commission.
In 1966 Helen won a trip to New York in an Austalian Bandstand International contest and, though she met with little success during this excursion, did meet and marry second husband Jeff Wald, a manager and an agent with the William Morris talent agency. They married the following year and went to Los Angeles. Helen converted to Judaism before the marriage.
Wald worked Helen into a few performances on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson(1962), fifteen appearances total, and the resulting attention earned her her first hit with a top version of "I Don't Know How to Love Him" from the Broadway rock musical "Jesus Christ Superstar" in February 1972. Signed by Capitol Records, she enjoyed hit after hit throughout the early 70s, with "Delta Dawn" (1973) and "Angie Baby" (1974) also reaching #1. In 1973 Helen had her own summer-replacement variety show and was a popular hostess for a time on NBC's late-night variety show The Midnight Special(1972). She tried to parlay her singing success into a film career but the pretty, wholesome-looking entertainer received only a mild reception for the Disney children's film Meu Amigo, o Dragão(1977) and it went no further.
In 1982, she divorced Wald and married a third time the following year to drummer Milton Ruth. Helen has ventured on into the concert and symphony orchestra forums as well as becoming a popular cabaret and nightclub attraction. In recent years she has graced a number of musical theater productions both on Broadway and in London's West End. Over the years she has been considered a primary interpreter of English playwright Willy Russell, having appeared in four productions of his one-woman show "Shirley Valentine." Other live musical productions have included "Anything Goes," "Call Me Madam," "The Mystery of Edwin Drood" and Russell's "Blood Brothers", in which she made her Broadway debut. In 2002 she retired from the business and moved to her native Australia to work as a practicing hypnotherapist and motivational speaker. As of 2017 Reddy was diagnosed with dementia and she moved to the Motion Picture and Television Fund's Samuel Goldwyn Center for Behavioral Health in Woodland Hills, California.
Hold me in your arms for a little while
Stay until the early morning light
I’ll hold you in my heart forever
If you hold me in your dreams tonight

I know you’ve got a lot of other ladies
I know I’m not the only one in sight
But hold them off at least until tomorrow
And hold me in your dreams tonight

You can lie to me and tell me that you love me
You can say that I’m the best you’ve ever known
I swear I’ll never hold you to a single word you’re saying, but it makes it so much easier for me to be alone

Hold me in your arms for a little while
Stay until the early morning light
I’ll hold you in my heart forever
If you hold me in your dreams tonight

Si supieras que aún dentro de mi alma
Conservo aquel cariño que tuve para ti
Quien sabe si supieras
Que nunca te he olvidado
Volviendo a tu pasado
Te acordarás de mí

Los amigos ya no vienen
Ni siquiera a visitarme
Nadie quiere consolarme
En mi aflicción
Desde el da que te fuiste
Siento angustias en mi pecho,
Decí percanta: ¿Qué has hecho
De mi pobre corazón?

Al cotorro abandonado
Ya ni el sol de la mañana
Asoma por la ventana,
Como cuando estabas vos
Y aquel perrito compañero
Que por tu ausencia no comía
Al verme solo, el otro día
También me dejó
Si supieras.

VIOLETA PARRA
COMPOSICIÓN DE: FOLCLÓRICA/SIRILLA/VIOLETA PARRA
PAIS: CHILE
ALBUM: LAS ÚLTIMAS COMPOSICIONES
DISCOGRAFICA: RCA VICTOR
GÉNERO: FOLCLORE
AÑO: 1966

«Volver a los 17» es una canción de inspiración folclórica chilena interpretada por la cantautora Violeta Parra, «una de las personalidades más importantes en la historia de la música popular chilena». Es una sirilla-canción compuesta por Parra en 1962 que figura como el segundo tema del lado B de su álbum Las últimas composiciones (1966), considerado como uno de los mejores discos chilenos según varias personalidades de la música.
Proscrita dentro de los repertorios musicales durante la dictadura de Augusto Pinochet junto a «Gracias a la vida», la letra de «Volver a los 17» tiene un carácter poético reivindicatorio para «el valor del sentimiento por encima de la razón» con una retórica que pretende describir «los efectos depuradores, ardientes, del amor logrado».
Como parte de los temas clásicos del cancionero latinoamericano, ha sido interpretada, versionada y remezclada por diversos artistas en varios escenarios del mundo, entre los que se encuentran Mercedes Sosa, Milton Nascimento, Joan Manuel Serrat, Franco Simone, Víctor Manuel, Rosa León, Paloma San Basilio, Charly García, Caetano Veloso, Myriam Hernández, Chico Buarque, Zélia Duncan, Gal Costa, Antonio Domínguez Hidalgo, Dúo Coplanacu, Rozalén, Marilia Andrés con Nacho Vegas entre otros. Violeta Parra esta en los 50 mejores autores de música del 2016.
Volver a los diecisiete
Después de vivir un siglo
Es como descifrar signos
Sin ser sabio competente
Volver a ser de repente
Tan frágil como un segundo
Volver a sentir profundo
Como un niño frente a Dios
Eso es lo que siento yo
En este instante fecundo

Se va enredando, enredando
Como en el muro la hiedra
Y va brotando, brotando
Como el musguito en la piedra
Como el mosguito en la piedra
¡Ay sí sí sí!

Mi paso retrocedido
Cuando el de ustedes avanza
El arco de las alianzas
Ha penetrado en mi nido
Con todo su colorido
Se ha paseado por mis venas
Y hasta las duras cadenas
Con que nos ata el destino
Es como un diamante fino
Que alumbra mi alma serena

Se va enredando, enredando
Como en el muro la hiedra
Y va brotando, brotando
Como el musguito en la piedra
Como el mosguito en la piedra
¡Ay sí sí sí!

Lo que puede el sentimiento
No lo ha podido el saber
Ni el mas claro proceder
Ni el más ancho pensamiento
Todo lo cambia el momento
Cual mago condescendiente
Nos aleja dulcemente
De rencores y violencias
Sólo el amor con su ciencia
Nos vuelve tan inocentes

Se va enredando, enredando
Como en el muro la hiedra
Y va brotando, brotando
Como el musguito en la piedra
Como el mosguito en la piedra
¡Ay sí sí sí!

El amor es torbellino
De pureza original
Hasta el feroz animal
Susurra su dulce trino
Detiene a los peregrinos
Libera a los prisioneros
El amor con sus esmeros
Al viejo lo vuelve niño
Y al malo solo el cariño
Lo vuelve puro y sincero

Se va enredando, enredando
Como en el muro la hiedra
Y va brotando, brotando
Como el musguito en la piedra
Como el mosguito en la piedra
¡Ay sí sí sí!

De par en par en la ventana
Se abrió como por encanto
Entró el amor con su manto
Como una tibia mañana
Al son de su bella diana
Hizo brotar el jazmín
Volando cual serafín
Al cielo le puso aretes
Y mis años en diecisiete
Los convirtió el querubín

Se va enredando, enredando
Como en el muro la hiedra
Y va brotando, brotando
Como el musguito en la piedra
Como el mosguito en la piedra
¡Ay sí sí sí!
