notevole popolarità dal 1960 in poi con l'uscita della canzone "What a
sky" (italiano: "Su nel cielo") , tratto dal film Silver Spoon Setdi Francesco Maselli. Autodidatta
in musica, Fidenco ha realizzato alcune coverdelle canzoni dei titoli dei film per il mercato italiano. Con la
canzone "Legata a un granello di sabbia", è stato il primo cantante
italiano a vendere un milione di copie di un singolo. Questo interesse per il
cinema lo ha portato ad essere un prolifico compositore di colonne sonore,

Io non ti conoscevo
ed era buia.
La vita passata
lontano dal tuo amor.
Finché sulla mia strada t'ho incontrata,
e una luce infinita è
entrata nel mio cuor.
Per una volta che ho udito la tua voce—
che ho stretto la tua
mano, non so scordarti più.
Non te ne andare, lasciami il tuo sorriso—
lascia che questo
giorno finisca accanto a te.
Il velo della notte lentamente si schiude—
le stelle si spengono
lassù.
E nasce sulla terra
un nuovo giorno
ma il sole non brilla
se non ci sei più tu.
Non te ne andare, lasciami il tuo sorriso—
lascia che questo
giorno finisca accanto a te.
Per una volta—
per una volta—
per una volta—
per una volta...

"The Long Run",
and "I Can't Tell
You Why", the lead single being another
chart-topping hit.
The Eagles broke up in July 1980 but reunited
in 1994 for the álbum Hell Freezes Over, a mix
of live and new studio tracks. They toured consistently and were inducted into
the Rock and Roll
Hall of Famein 1998. In 2007, the Eagles

He was a hard-headed
man
He was brutally handsome, and she was teminally pretty
She held him up, and he held her for ransome in the heart
of the cold, cold city
He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They said he was ruthless, they said he was crude
They had one thing in common, they were
good in bed
She'd say, 'Faster,faster. The lights are turnin' red."
Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind, mm
Are you with me so far?
Eager for action and bot for the game
The coming attraction, the drop of a name
They knew all the right people, they took
all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties, they paid heavily bills.
There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face
She pretended not to notice, she was caught up
in the race
Out every evening, until it was light
He was too tired to make it, she was too tired
to fight about it
Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lse your mind
Life in the fast lane, everything all the time
Life in the fast lane, uh huh
Blowin' and burnin', blinded by thirst
They didn't see the stop sign,
took a turn for the worst.
She said, "Listen, baby.You can hear the engine
ring.We've been up and down this highway;
haven't seen a goddam thing."
He said,"Call the doctor. I think I'm gonna crash."
"The doctor say he's comin', but you gotta pay him cash."
They went rushin' down that freeway, messed around
and got lost
They didn't know they were just dyin' to get off
And it was life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane

1990 in Seattle, Washington.
The band's lineup consists of founding members Jeff Ament(bass guitar), Stone Gossard(rhythm guitar), Mike McCready(lead guitar), and Eddie Vedder(lead vocals, guitar), as well as Matt Cameron(drums),
who joined in 1998. Keyboardist Boom Gasparhas also been a touring/session member with the band since 2002.
Drummers Jack Irons, Dave Krusen, Matt Chamberlain, and Dave Abbruzzeseare former members of the band.
Formed after the demise of Gossard and
Ament's previous band, Mother Love Bone, Pearl
Jam broke into the mainstream with its debut album, Ten,
in 1991. One of the key bands in the grungemovement of the early 1990s, its members often shunned popular music
industry practices such as making music videos or giving interviews. The band
also sued Ticketmaster,
claiming it had monopolized the concert-ticket market. In 2006, Rolling Stonedescribed the band as having "spent much of the past decade
deliberately tearing apart their own fame."
The band sold nearly 32 million albums in the
United States by 2012, and by 2018, they had sold more than 85 million albums
worldwide. Pearl Jam outsold many of its contemporary alternative rock bands
from the early 1990s, and is considered one of the most influential bands of
the decade. AllMusiceditor Stephen
Thomas Erlewinereferred to Pearl Jam as
"the most popular American rock & roll band of the '90s". Pearl

Hall of Fameon April 7, 2017, in its first year

"Black" is a songby the American
rockband Pearl Jam. The
song is the fifth track on the band's debut album, Ten(1991). Featuring lyrics written by vocalista Eddie Vedderand
music written by guitarist Stone Gossard.
After Ten became a commercial success in
1992, Pearl Jam's record label Epic Recordsurged the group to release the song as a single. The band refused, citing the
song's personal nature. Despite the lack of a commercial
single release, the song managed to reach number three on the BillboardMainstream
Rock Trackschart. Remixed versions of the song
were included on Pearl Jam's 2004 greatest hits album, Rearviewmirror, and the
2009 Ten reissue. It
has gone on to become one of the band's most popular songs, as well as a fan
favorite.
The song originated as an instrumental demo
under the name "E Ballad" that was written by guitarist Stone Gossardin 1990. It was one of five songs compiled onto a tape called Stone
Gossard Demos '91 that was circulated in the hopes of finding a singer and
drummer for Pearl Jam. The tape made its way into the hands of vocalist Eddie Vedder, who was
working as a San Diegogas stationattendant
at the time. Vedder
recorded vocals for three of the songs on the demo tape ("Alive", "Once", and "Footsteps"),
and mailed the tape back to Seattle. Upon hearing the tape, the band invited
Vedder to come to Seattle. On his way to Seattle, Vedder wrote lyrics for
"E Ballad", which he called "Black".
Sheets of empty
canvas
Untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
As her body once did
All five horizons
Revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed
Has taken a turn
Oh, and all I taught
her was everything
Oh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter
hands
Chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
Oh, the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter
So, why do I sear?
Oh, and twisted
thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can drop away?
And now my bitter
hands
Cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
All the love gone bad
Turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see
All that I am
All that I'll be, yeah
I know someday you'll
have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why? Why? Why
Can't it be, oh, can't it be mine?
