ANO: 1944

Ataulfo Alves de Sousa(Miraí, 2 de maio de 1909—Rio de Janeiro, 20 de abril de 1969) foi um compositor e cantor de samba brasileiro, um dos sete filhos de um violeiro, acordeonista e repentista da Zona da Mata chamado "Capitão" Severino.

Aos oito anos de idade, já escrevia versos. Foi leiteiro, condutor de bois, carregador de malas, menino de recados, engraxate, marceneiro e lavrador, ao mesmo tempo em que frequentava a escola. Aos dez anos, perdeu o pai. Sua mãe, logo após, juntamente com os filhos, passou a morar no centro de Miraí.

Aos dezoito anos, fixou residência no Rio de Janeiro, acompanhando um médico para quem trabalhava dia e noite como ajudante de farmácia. Aos dezenove anos, tocava violão, cavaquinho e bandolim. Casou-se com Judite e o casal teve cinco filhos.

Aos vinte anos, começou a compor e tornou-se diretor de harmonia de Fale Quem Quiser, bloco organizado pelo pessoal do bairro.

Em 1933, Almirante gravou o samba Sexta-feira, sua primeira composição a ser lançada em disco. Dias depois, Carmen Miranda gravou Tempo Perdido, garantindo sua entrada no mundo artístico. Em 1958, apareceu no filme Meus Amores no Rio.

Sua musicografia ultrapassa 320 canções, sendo uma das maiores da música popular brasileira. Intérpretes importantes, como Clara Nunes e os grupos Quarteto em Cy e MPB-4, fizeram versões de suas músicas.

Faleceu em decorrência do agravamento de uma úlcera, após uma intervenção cirúrgica, no Rio de Janeiro, poucos dias antes de completar 60 anos de idade. Foi sepultado no Cemitério do Catumbi, zona norte da capital fluminense.

Atire a Primeira Pedra é um samba de Ataulfo Alves e Mário Lago de 1943. A letra versa sobre o grande desejo de um homem de se reconciliar com a mulher amada, a despeito do que os demais, e até a própria amada, pensem a respeito. O título faz referência às palavras de Jesus Cristo em João 8:7, e também já fora usado para um filme estrelado por Marlene Dietrich e para um programa radiofônico apresentado por Raimundo Lopes.

Covarde sei que me podem chamar

Porque não calo no peito dessa dor

Atire a primeira pedra, ai, ai, ai

Aquele que não sofreu por amor

Eu sei que vão censurar

O meu proceder

Eu sei, mulher,

Que você mesma vai dizer

Que eu voltei pra me humilhar

É, mas não faz mal

Você pode até sorrir

Perdão foi feito pra gente pedir.

I'M NOT IN LOVE

10CC

SONGWRITER: ERIC STEWART & GRAHAM GOULDMAN

COUNTRY: U. K.

ALBUM: THE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK

LABEL: MERCURY RECORDS

GENRE: SOFT ROCK

YEAR: 1975

10cc is an English rock band formed in Stockport, Greater Manchester in 1972. It initially consisted of four musicians – Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme – who had written and recorded together since 1968. The group featured two songwriting teams. Stewart and Gouldman were predominantly pop songwriters, who created most of the band's accessible songs. By contrast, Godley and Creme were the predominantly experimental half of 10cc, featuring art and cinematically-inspired writing.

Every member of 10cc was a multi-instrumentalist, singer, writer and producer. Most of the band's records were recorded at their own Strawberry Studios (North) in Stockport and Strawberry Studios (South) in Dorking, with most of those engineered by Stewart.

From 1972 to 1978, 10cc had five consecutive UK top-ten albums: Sheet Music, The Original Soundtrack(1975), How Dare You!(1976), Deceptive Bends(1977) and Bloody Tourists(1978). They also had twelve singles reach the UK Top 40, three of which were the chart-toppers "Rubber Bullets"(1973), "I'm Not in Love"(1975) and "Dreadlock Holiday" (1978). "I'm Not in Love" was their breakthrough worldwide hit and is known for its innovative backing track. Godley and Creme quit the band in 1976 due to artistic disagreements and became a duo act. Stewart left the band in 1995. Since 1999, Gouldman has led a touring version of 10cc.

"I'm Not in Love" is a song by English group 10cc, written by band members Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman. It is known for its innovative and distinctive backing track, composed mostly of the band's multitracked vocals. Released in the UK in May 1975 as the second single from the band's third album, The Original Soundtrack, it became the second of the group's three number-one singles in the UK between 1973 and 1978, topping the UK singles chart for two weeks. The song was also the band's breakthrough hit worldwide, reaching number one in Ireland and Canada and number two on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, as well as reaching the top 10 in Australia, New Zealand and several European countries.

Written mostly by Stewart as a riposte to his wife's declaration that he did not tell her often enough that he loved her, "I'm Not in Love" was originally conceived as a bossa nova song played on guitars, but the other two members of the band, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme, disliked the track and it was abandoned. However, after hearing members of their staff continue to sing the melody around their studio, Stewart persuaded the group to give the song another chance, to which Godley replied that for the song to work it needed to be radically changed, and suggested that the band should try to create a new version using just voices.

 

I'm not in love

So don't forget it

It's just a silly phase I'm going through

And just because I call you up

Don't get me wrong

Don't think you've gotten me

I'm not in love

No, no

It's because

I'd like to see you

But then again

It doesn't mean you mean that much to me

So if I call you

Don't make a fuss

Don't tell your friends about the two of us

I'm not in love

No, no

It's because

(Be quiet, big boys don't cry)

I keep your Picture

Upon the wall

It hides a nasty stain that's lying there

So don't you ask me

To give it back

I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me

I'm not in love

No, no

It's because

Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me

Ooh, you'll wait a long time

I'm not in love, I'm not in love.

Eric Patrick Clapton, CBE(born 30 March 1945) is an English rock and blues guitarist, singer, and songwriter. He is the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: once as a solo artist and separately as a member of the Yardbirds and of Cream. Clapton has been referred to as one of the most important and influential guitarists of all time. Clapton ranked second in Rolling Stone's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time"and fourth in Gibson's "Top 50 Guitarists of All Time".He was also named number five in Time magazine's list of "The 10 Best Electric Guitar Players" in 2009.

After playing in a number of different local bands, Clapton joined the Yardbirds in 1963, replacing founding guitarist Top Topham. Dissatisfied with the change of the Yardbirds sound from blues rock to a more radio-friendly pop rock sound, Clapton left the Yardbirds in 1965 to play with John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, with whom he played on one album. After leaving Mayall in 1966, Clapton formed the power trio Cream with drummer Ginger Baker and bassist Jack Bruce, in which Clapton played sustained blues improvisations and "arty, blues-based psychedelic pop". After Cream broke up, he formed blues rock band Blind Faith with Baker, Steve Winwood, and Ric Grech, recording one album and performing on one tour before they broke up, leading Clapton to embark on a solo career in 1970. Alongside his solo career, he also performed with Delaney & Bonnie and Derek and the Dominos, with whom he recorded "Layla", one of his signature songs. He continued to record a number of successful solo albums and songs over the next several decades, including a 1974 cover of Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff" (which helped reggae reach a mass market.), the country-infused Slowhand album (1977) and the pop rock of 1986's August. Following the death of his son Conor in 1991, Clapton's grief was expressed in the song "Tears in Heaven", which appeared on his Unplugged album, and in 1996 he had another top-40 hit with the R&B crossover "Change The World", and in 1998 released the Grammy award-winning "My Father's Eyes". Since 1999, he has recorded a number of traditional blues and blues rock albums and hosted the periodic Crossroads Guitar Festival. His most recent studio album is 2018's Happy Xmas.

Clapton has been the recipient of 18 Grammy Awards, and the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. In 2004 he was awarded a CBE at Buckingham Palace for services to music. He has received four Ivor Novello Awards from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors, including the Lifetime Achievement Award. In his solo career, Clapton has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling musicians of all time. In 1998, Clapton, a recovering alcoholic and drug addict, founded the Crossroads Centre on Antigua, a medical facility for recovering substance abusers.

"Change the World" is a song written by Tommy Sims, Gordon Kennedy, and Wayne Kirkpatrick, the best-known version of which was recorded by the English singer Eric Clapton for the soundtrack of the 1996 film Phenomenon. The track was produced by the R&B record producer Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds.

The Clapton release, recorded for Reprise and Warner Bros. Records, reached the Top 40 list in twenty countries and topped the charts in Canada, as well as Billboard magazine's Adult Contemporary and Adult Top 40 charts in the United States. The single won eight awards, including three Grammy Awards at the 39th annual ceremony in 1997.

If I could reach the stars

I'd pull one down for you

Shine it on my heart

So you could see the truth

That this love I have inside

Is everything it seems

But for now I find

It's only in my dreams

That I can change the world

I would be the sunlight in your universe

You would think my love was really something good

Baby, if I could change the world

If I could be king

Even for a day

I'd take you as my queen

I'd have it no other way

And our love would rule

This kingdom we have made

Till then I'll be a fool

Wishin' for the day

That I can change the world

I would be the sunlight in your universe

You would think my love was really something good

Baby, if I could change the world

Baby, if I could change the world

That I can change the world

I would be the sunlight in your universe

You would think my love was really something good

Baby, if I could change the world

Baby, if I could change the world

Baby, if I could change the world.
