The Righteous Brothers were originally an
American musicalduo of Bill Medleyand Bobby Hatfield.
They began performing together in 1962 in the Los Angeles area as part of a
five-member group called the Paramours, but adopted the name "The
Righteous Brothers" when they embarked on their recording career as a duo.
Their most active
recording period was in the 1960s and 70s, and although the duo was inactive
for some years, Hatfield and Medley reunited in 1981 and continued to perform
until Hatfield's death in 2003. The music they performed is sometimes dubbed
"blue-eyed soul".
Hatfield and Medley had contrasting vocal
ranges, which helped them to create a distinctive sound as a duet, but also
strong vocal talent individually that allowed them to perform as soloists.
Medley sang the low parts with his bass-baritonevoice, with Hatfield taking the higher register vocals with his tenorvoice.
They had their first major hit with the 1964
song "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'",
produced by Phil Spectorand often considered one of his finest works. Other notable hits include "Ebb
Tide", "Soul and Inspiration", "Rock and Roll Heaven", and in particular,
their version of "Unchained Melody". Both Hatfield and Medley
also had for a time their own solo careers. In 2016,
Medley re-formed The Righteous Brothers with Bucky Heard and they continue to
perform as a duo.
The Righteous Brothers were inducted into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Famein 2003. Rolling Stoneranked them No. 16 on its list of the 20 Greatest Duos of All Time.
"Ebb Tide" is a popularsong, written
in 1953by the lyricistCarl Sigmanand composer Robert Maxwell. This song is not to be confused
with the title song from the movie Ebb
Tide(1937), which is a composition by Leo Robinand Ralph Rainger.
First the tide rushes
in
Plants a kiss on the shore
Then rolls out to sea
And the sea is very still once more
So, I'll rush to your side
Like the oncoming tide
With one burning thought
Will your arms open wide
At last we're face to face
And as we kiss through an embrace
I can tell, I can feel
You are love, you are really mine
In the rain, in the dark, in the sun
Like the tide at its ebb
I'm at peace in the web of your arms
Ebb tide.

If you cannot do it, if you are not prepared to do it...then you will

You race of cowards, you race of imbosiles, you race of good for

If you cannot do what other men have done
What other nations have done, what other races have done
Then you yourself shall die.
SEE IT DEH NOW...Hey!
Now wi fore parents sacrifice enough
Dem blood sweat and tears run like syrup
Any day a revolution might erupt, and the skys over Kingston lighting up
For the new generation rising up, of youths now a days weh dem sighting

And through reasoning dem biding up,
Searching for the sign and the sign is us,
Searching for the truth all you find is us,
Searching for the troops still behind is us,
The almighty we recruit and we come from the root
We build like roach building boot
Weh just can't done, Rastafari we design tuff
If a the fight for freedom sign me up
Cause you Tell-Lie-Vision can't blind me up
Soldiers and police dem wising up, realizing they're no more right than
us
Realizing there's no use fighting us
Realizing their opening their eyes to see the same demoralizing life as
us
So we nah tek talk nor smiling up
Cause the word temper tantrum boiling up, and who...
Calling the shots and nah bust none
Controlling the mind of the young, bring down...
Bear famine, no rain nah fall from London to Dadeland mal
All the son of the virgin bawl, institute of the church IN WAR
Preaching and researching WAR
Practice and rehearsing WAR
Teaching and dem learning WAR
Instigating and urging WAR
Always keep alert in WAR
Cause man will jump out a swerving car
Now bees and birds IN WAR
And the freaks and nerds IN WAR
And the straight and curves IN WAR
Forward and reverse IN WAR

Ella Jane Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 – June 15, 1996)
was an American jazz singer, sometimes referred to as the First Lady of Song,
Queen of Jazz, and Lady Ella. She was noted for her purity of tone, impeccable
diction, phrasing, timing, intonation, and a "horn-like"
improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing.
After a tumultuous adolescence, Fitzgerald
found stability in musical success with the Chick Webb Orchestra, performing across the
country but most often associated with the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem. Her rendition of the
nursery rhyme "A-Tisket, A-Tasket" helped boost both her and
Webb to national fame. After taking over the band when Webb died, Fitzgerald
left it behind in 1942 to start her solo career.
Her manager was Moe Gale, co-founder of
the Savoy, until she turned the rest of her
career over to Norman Granz, who founded Verve Records to produce new records by
Fitzgerald. With Verve she recorded some of her more widely noted works,
particularly her interpretations of the Great
American Songbook.
While Fitzgerald appeared in movies and
as a guest on popular television shows in the second half of the twentieth
century, her musical collaborations with Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and The Ink Spots were some of her most
notable acts outside of her solo career. These partnerships produced some of
her best-known songs such as "Dream a
Little Dream of Me", "Cheek to Cheek", "Into Each
Life Some Rain Must Fall", and "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)".
In 1993, after a career of nearly 60
years, she gave her last public performance. Three years later, she died at the
age of 79 after years of declining health. Her accolades included
fourteen Grammy Awards, the National
Medal of Arts, and the Presidential
Medal of Freedom. Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Rodgers and Hart

After one whole quart
of brandy
Like a daisy, I'm awake
With no bromo-seltzer handy
I don't even shake
Men are not a new
sensation
I've done pretty well I think
But this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink
I'm wild again,
beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Couldn't sleep and
wouldn't sleep
When love came and told me, I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Lost my heart, but
what of it?
He is cold I agree
He can laugh, but I love it
Although the laugh's on me
I'll sing to him,
each spring to him
And long for the day when I'll cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
He's a fool, and
don't I know it?
But a fool can have his charms
I'm in love and don't I show it
Like a babe in arms
Love's the same old
sad sensation
Lately I've not slept a wink
Since this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink
I've sinned a lot,
I'm mean a lot
But I'm like sweet seventeen a lot
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
I'll sing to him,
each spring to him
And worship the trousers that cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
When he talks, he is
seeking
Words to get, off his chest
Horizontally speaking, he's at his very best
Vexed again,
perplexed again
Thank god, I can be oversexed again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Wise at last, my eyes
at last
Are cutting you down to your size at last
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered no more
Burned a lot, but
learned a lot
And now you are broke, so you earned a lot
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered no more
Couldn't eat, was
dispeptic
Life was so hard to bear
Now my heart's antiseptic
Since you moved out of there
Romance, finis
Your chance, finis
Those ants that invaded my pants, finis
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered no more.
