Oh! Tenho
medo da falseta,
Mas
adoro a Julieta como adoro a
Papai
do Céu
Quero
seu amor, minha santinha
Mas
só não quero que me faça de bolinha de papel
Tiro
você do emprego,
Dou-lhe
amor e sossego,
Vou
ao banco e tiro tudo pra você gastar
Posso,
Julieta, lhe mostrar a caderneta
Se
você duvidar.

"Theme
from A Summer Place" is a song with lyrics by Mack Discant and music by Max
Steiner, written for the 1959 film A Summer Place, which starred Sandra Dee and
Troy Donahue. It was recorded for the film as an instrumental by Hugo
Winterhalter. Originally known as the "Molly and Johnny Theme", the
piece is not the main title theme of the film, but a secondary love theme for
the characters played by Dee and Donahue.
Following its initial film appearance, the theme has been
recorded by many artists in both instrumental and vocal versions, and has also
appeared in a number of subsequent films and television programs. The
best-known cover version of the theme is an instrumental version by Percy Faith
and his orchestra that was a Number One hit for nine weeks on the Billboard Hot
100 chart in 1960.

Andrew Williams (December 3, 1927 – September 25, 2012) was an American singer.
He recorded 43 albums in his career, of which 15 have been gold-certified and 3
platinum-certified. He was also nominated for six Grammy Awards. He hosted The
Andy Williams Show, a television variety show, from 1962 to 1971, and numerous
TV specials. The
Andy Williams Show won three Emmy awards. The Moon
River Theatre in Branson, Missouri, is named after the song for which he is
best known—Johnny Mercer and Henry Mancini's "Moon River". He sold
more than 100 million records worldwide, including more than 10 million
certified units in the United States.
Williams was active in the music industry for 74 years
until his death in 2012.
Building on his experience with Allen and some short-term
variety shows in the 1950s, he became the star of his own weekly television
variety show in the fall of 1962. Though canceled after 1963 due to low
ratings, the show was then sponsored to make 12 weekly specials in the
1963–1964 season. This series, The Andy Williams Show, won
three Emmy Awards for outstanding variety program. Among his series regulars were
the Osmond Brothers. He gave up the variety show in 1971 while it was still
popular, continuing with three specials per year. His
Christmas specials, which appeared regularly until 1974 and intermittently from
1982 into the 1990s, were among the most popular of the genre. Williams
recorded eight Christmas albums over the years and was known as "Mr.
Christmas", due to his perennial Christmas specials and the success of
"It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year".
Williams
hosted the most Grammy telecasts—seven consecutive shows—from the 13th Annual
Grammy Awards in 1971 through to the 19th Awards in 1977. He returned to television with a
syndicated half-hour series in 1976–77.
In the
early 1970s, when the Nixon Administration attempted to deport John Lennon,
Williams was an outspoken defender of the former Beatle's right to stay in the
United States.
Williams
is included in the montage of caricatures on the cover of Ringo Starr's 1973
album, Ringo.
Williams
performed during the halftime show of Super Bowl VII in January 1973, held at Los
Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
There's
a summer place
Where it may rain or storm
Yet I'm safe and warm
For within that summer place
Your arms reach out to me
And my heart is free from all care
For it knows
There are no gloomy skies
When seen through the eyes
Of those who are blessed with love
And the sweet secret of
A summer place
Is that it's anywhere
When two people share
All their hopes
All their dreams
All their love
There's a summer place
Where it may rain or storm
Yet I'm safe and warm
In your arms, in your arms
In your arms, in your arms.
TIL I KISSED YOU
THE EVERLY BROTHERS

LABEL: HMEDIA
GENRE: ROCK
YEAR: 1959
"('Till)
I Kissed You" is a song written by Don Everly of The Everly Brothers. It
was released as a single in 1959 and peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. Chet
Atkins played guitar on this record and Jerry Allison played drums. Recorded 7
July 1959 at RCA Victor Studio, Nashville, Tennessee, and issued as a single
(Cadence 1369) July/August 1959 coupled with ‘Oh, What A Feeling’. Don Everly (guitar); Phil Everly
(guitar); Chester B. “Chet” Atkins (electric guitar); Sonny Curtis (guitar);
Floyd T. “Lightnin’” Chance (bass); Jerry “J.I.” Allison (drums); Floyd Cramer
(piano). Producer: Archie Bleyer.
The
Everly Brothers were an American country-influenced rock and roll duo, known
for steel-string acoustic guitar playing and close harmony singing. Consisting
of Isaac Donald "Don" Everly (born February 1, 1937) and Phillip
"Phil" Jason Everly(January 19, 1939 – January 3, 2014), the duo was
raised in a musical family, first appearing on radio singing along with their
father Ike Everly and mother Margaret Everly as "The Everly Family"
in the 1940s. When the brothers were still in high school, they gained the
attention of prominent Nashville musicians like Chet Atkins, who began to groom
them for national attention.
They
began writing and recording their own music in 1956, and their first hit song
came in 1957, with "Bye Bye Love", written by Felice and Boudleaux
Bryant. The song hit number 1 in the spring of 1957, and additional hits would
follow through 1958, many of them written by the Bryants, including "Wake
Up Little Susie", "All I Have to Do Is Dream", and "Problems".
In 1960, they signed with the major label Warner Bros. Records and recorded
"Cathy's Clown", written by the brothers themselves, which was their
biggest selling single. The brothers enlisted in the United States Marine Corps
Reserve in 1961, and their output dropped off, though additional hit singles
continued through 1962, with "That's Old Fashioned (That's the Way Love
Should Be)" being their last top-10 hit.
Long-simmering
disputes with Wesley Rose, the CEO of Acuff-Rose Music, which managed the
group, and growing drug usage in the 1960s, as well as changing tastes in
popular music, led to the group's decline in popularity in its native U.S.,
though the brothers continued to release hit singles in the U.K. and Canada,
and had many highly successful tours throughout the 1960s. In the early 1970s, the brothers
began releasing solo recordings, and in 1973 they officially broke up. Starting
in 1983, the brothers got back together, and would continue to perform periodically
until Phil's death in 2014.
The group was highly influential on the music of the
generation that followed it. Many of the top acts of the 1960s
were heavily influenced by the close-harmony singing and acoustic guitar
playing of the Everly Brothers, including the Beatles, the Beach Boys, the Bee
Gees, and Simon & Garfunkel. The Everly Brothers were inducted into the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame as part of the inaugural class of 1986, and into the Country
Music Hall of Fame in 2001. Don was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame
and Museum in 2019, earning the organization's first Iconic Riff Award for his
distinctive rhythm guitar intro to the Everlys' massive 1957 hit “Wake Up
Little Susie”.
