Irving Berlin (born Israel Beilin; Yiddish:
ישראל ביילין;
May 11, 1888– September 22, 1989) was an American composerand lyricist, widely
considered one of the greatest songwriters in American history. His music forms
a great part of the Great
American Songbook. Born in Imperial Russia,
Berlin arrived in the United States at the age of five. He published his first
song, "Marie from Sunny Italy", in 1907, receiving 33 cents for the
publishing rights, and had his first major international hit, "Alexander's Ragtime Band",
in 1911. He also was an owner of the Music
Box Theatreon Broadway.
It is commonly believed that Berlin could not read sheet music, and was such a
limited piano player that he could only play in the key of F-sharp using his
custom piano equipped with a transposing lever.
"Alexander's
Ragtime Band" sparked an international dance craze in places as far away
as Berlin's native Russia, which also "flung itself into the ragtime beat
with an abandon bordering on mania." Over the
years he was known for writing music and lyrics in the American vernacular:
uncomplicated, simple and direct, with his stated aim being to "reach the
heart of the average American," whom he saw as the "real soul of the
country." In doing so, said Walter
Cronkite, at Berlin's 100th birthday tribute, he
"helped write the story of this country, capturing the best of who we are
and the dreams that shape our lives."
He
wrote hundreds of songs, many becoming major hits, which made him famous before
he turned thirty. During his 60-year career he wrote an
estimated 1,500 songs, including the scores for 20 original Broadway shows and
15 original Hollywoodfilms, with his songs nominated eight times for Academy Awards.
Many songs became popular themes and anthems, including "Alexander's Ragtime Band",
"Easter
Parade", "Puttin'
on the Ritz", "Cheek to Cheek",
"White
Christmas", "Happy
Holiday", "Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better)",
and "There's No Business Like Show Business".
His Broadway musical and 1943 film This
is the Army, with Ronald Reagan,
had Kate Smithsinging Berlin's "God
Bless America" which was first performed
in 1938.
Berlin's songs have reached the top of the
charts 25 times and have been extensively re-recorded by numerous singers
including The
Andrews Sisters, Perry Como,
Eddie
Fisher, Al Jolson,
Fred Astaire,
Ethel Merman,
Louis Armstrong,
Frank Sinatra,
Dean Martin,
Elvis Presley,
Judy Garland,
Barbra Streisand,
Linda Ronstadt,
Rosemary Clooney,
Cher, Diana Ross,
Bing Crosby,
Sarah Vaughan,
Ruth Etting,
Fanny Brice,
Marilyn Miller,
Rudy Vallée,
Nat King Cole,
Billie Holiday,
Doris Day,
Jerry Garcia,
Willie Nelson,
Bob Dylan,
Leonard Cohen,
Ella Fitzgerald,
Michael Buble,
Lady Gaga,
and Christina
Aguilera.
Berlin died in 1989 at the age of 101.
Composer Douglas Mooresets Berlin apart from all other contemporary songwriters, and
includes him instead with Stephen
Foster, Walt
Whitman, and Carl
Sandburg, as a "great American minstrel"—someone
who has "caught and immortalized in his songs what we say, what we think
about, and what we believe." Composer George
Gershwincalled him "the greatest
songwriter that has ever lived",:117 and composer Jerome Kernconcluded that "Irving Berlin has no place in American music—he
is American music."
This waltz-time song was a hit for Rudy Valléein 1929, and in 1937, updated to a four-quarter-time swingarrangement, was a top hit for Tommy Dorsey.
It was on the charts at no. 13 in 1953 for The
Four Tunesand at no. 15 for the Bachelorsin 1965, 36 years after its first appearance
Marie, the dawn is breaking, Marie, you'll soon be waking To find, your heart is breaking And tears, will fall, as you recall The moon, in all its splendor, The kiss, so very tender, The words "will you surrender" To me, my marie

YEAR: 1984
The Unforgettable Fire is the fourth studio
album by Irish rockband U2. It was
produced by Brian Enoand Daniel Lanois,
and released on 1 October 1984 by Island
Records. The band wanted to pursue a new musical
direction following the harder-hitting rock of their previous album, War(1983). As a result, they employed Eno and Lanois to produce and
assist in their experimentation with a more ambientsound. The
resulting change in direction was at the time the band's most dramatic. The
album's title is a reference to "The Unforgettable Fire", an art
exhibit about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
Recording began in May 1984 at Slane Castle,
where the band lived, wrote, and recorded to find new inspiration. The album
was completed in August 1984 at Windmill
Lane Studios. It features atmospheric sounds
and lyrics that lead vocalista Bonodescribes as "sketches". "Pride (In the Name of Love)"
and "MLK"
are lyrical tributes to Martin
Luther King Jr.
The
Unforgettable Fire received generally favourable reviews from critics and
produced the band's biggest hit at the time, "Pride (In the Name of
Love)", as well as the live favourite "Bad".
A 25th anniversary edition of the album was released in October 2009.
U2 are an Irish rockband from Dublin, formed in 1976. The group consists of Bono(lead
vocals and rhythm guitar), the Edge(lead guitar, keyboards, and backing vocals), Adam Clayton(bass guitar), and Larry
Mullen Jr.(drums and percussion). Initially
rooted in post-punk,
U2's musical style has evolved throughout their career, yet has maintained an
anthemic quality built on Bono's expressive vocals and the Edge's effects-based
guitar textures.
Their lyrics, often
embellished with spiritual imagery, focus on personal and sociopolitical
themes. Popular for their live performances, the group have staged several
ambitious and elaborate tours over their career.
The band formed as teenagers while attending Mount Temple Comprehensive School, when
they had limited musical proficiency. Within four years, they signed with Island Recordsand released their debut album, Boy(1980). Subsequent work such as their first UK number-one album, War(1983), and the singles "Sunday
Bloody Sunday" and "Pride (In the Name of Love)"
helped establish U2's reputation as a politically and socially conscious group.
By the mid-1980s, they had become renowned globally for their live act,
highlighted by their performance at Live Aidin 1985. The group's fifth album, The Joshua Tree(1987), made them international superstars and was their greatest
critical and commercial success. Topping music charts around the world, it produced their
only number-one singles in the US to date: "With or Without You" and "I Still Haven't Found What
I'm Looking For".
Facing creative stagnation and a backlash
following their documentary/double album, Rattle
and Hum(1988), U2 reinvented themselves in
the 1990s through a new musical direction and public image. Beginning with
their acclaimed seventh album, Achtung
Baby(1991), and the multimedia-intensive
Zoo TV Tour,
the band integrated influences from alternative
rock, electronic
dance music, and industrial musicinto their sound, and embraced a more ironic, flippant image. This
experimentation continued through their ninth album, Pop(1997), and the PopMart
Tour, which were mixed successes. U2 regained
critical and commercial favour with the records All That You Can't Leave Behind(2000)
and How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb(2004),
which established a more conventional, mainstream sound for the group. Their U2 360 Tourof
2009–2011 set records for the highest-attended and highest-grossing concert tourin history. The group most recently released the companion albums Songs of Innocence(2014) and Songs of Experience(2017), the
former of which received criticism for its pervasive, no-cost release through
the iTunes Store.
U2 have released 14 studio albums and are one
of the world's best-selling music artists, having
sold an estimated 150–170 million records worldwide. They have won 22 Grammy Awards,
more than any other band, and in 2005, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Famein their first
year of eligibility. Rolling
Stoneranked U2 at number 22 on its list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All
Time". Throughout their career, as a
band and as individuals, they have campaigned for human rights and social
justice causes, including Amnesty
International, Jubilee 2000,
the ONE/DATAcampaigns,
Product Red,
War
Child, and Music
Rising.
If you twist and turn
away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Surrender
Dislocate
If I could throw this
Lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the night
And through the rain
Into the half-light
And through the flame
If I could threw
myself
Set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light
And to the day
To let it go
And so to fade away
To let it go
And so fade away
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no
If you should ask
then maybe they'd
Tell you what I would say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and burning flag
Colours crash, collide in blood shot eyes
If I could, you know
I would
If I could, I would
Let it go...
This desperation
Dislocation
Separation
Condemnation
Revelation
In temptation
Isolation
Desolation
Let it go
And so fade away
To let it go
And so fade away
To let it go
And so to fade away
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no.

Led Zeppelin were an English rockband formed in Londonin 1968. The group consisted of vocalista Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones,
and drummer John Bonham. With their heavy, guitar-driven
sound, they are regularly cited as one of the progenitors of heavy metal, although their style drew from
a variety of influences, including bluesand folk music. The band have been credited
with majorly impacting the nature of the music industry, particularly in the
development of album-orientated rock (AOR) and stadium rock. Many critics consider Led
Zeppelin one of the most successful, innovative, and influential rock groups in
history.
After changing their name from the New Yardbirds,
Led Zeppelin signed a deal with Atlantic Recordsthat afforded them considerable artistic freedom. Although the group
were initially unpopular with critics, they achieved significant commercial
success with eight studio albums released over ten years, from Led Zeppelin(1969) to In Through the Out Door(1979). Their untitled fourth studio album, commonly known as Led Zeppelin IV(1971), became
one of the best-selling albums in
history. It featured
the song "Stairway to Heaven", which has come to be among the most
popular and influential works in rock music, and helped to secure the group's
popularity.
Page
wrote most of Led Zeppelin's music, particularly early in their career, while
Plant generally supplied the lyrics. Jones's keyboard-based compositions later
became central to the group's catalogue, which featured increasing
experimentation. The latter half of their career saw a series
of record-breaking toursthat earned the group a reputation for excess and debauchery. Although they remained
commercially and critically successful, their output and touring schedule were
limited during the late 1970s, and the group disbanded following Bonham's death
from alcohol-related asphyxia in 1980. In the decades that followed, the former
members sporadically collaborated and participated in one-off Led Zeppelin
reunions. The most successful of these was the 2007 Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concertin London, with Bonham's son Jason Bonhamon drums.
Led Zeppelin are one of the best-selling music artists of
all time; various sources estimate the group's record
sales at 200 to 300 million units worldwide. With RIAA-certified
sales of 111.5 million units, they are the third-best-selling band and fifth-best-selling act in the US.
They achieved eight consecutive UK number-one albums, and each of their nine
studio albums placed in the top 10 of the Billboard album chartand six reached the number-one spot. Rolling Stonemagazine described them as
"the heaviest band of all time", "the biggest band of the
Seventies", and "unquestionably one of the most enduring bands in
rock history". They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Famein 1995; the museum's biography of the band states that they were
"as influential" during the 1970s as the Beatleswere during the 1960s.
"Whole Lotta Love" is a song by
English hard rockband Led Zeppelin. It is the opening track on the
band's second album, Led Zeppelin II, and was released in the United
States, several countries in Europe, and Japan as a single; as with other Led
Zeppelin songs, no single was released in the United Kingdom. The US release
became their first hit single, being certified Goldon 13 April 1970, having sold one million copies. It reached number
one in Australia and Germany and number four in the Netherlands and the United
States. Parts of the song were adapted from Willie Dixon's "You Need Love",
recorded by Muddy Watersin 1962; originally
uncredited to Dixon, a lawsuit in 1985 was settled with a payment to Dixon and
credit on subsequent releases.
In 2004, the song was ranked number 75
on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the
500 Greatest Songs of All Time, and in
March 2005, Q magazineplaced "Whole Lotta
Love" at number three in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks. It
was placed 11 on a similar list by Rolling Stone.
In 2009 it was named the third greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1.
In 2014, listeners to BBC Radio 2voted "Whole Lotta
Love" as containing the greatest guitar riffof all time.
