O Arnesto nos convidou pra um samba, ele mora no Brás
Nós fumos, não encontremos ninguém
Nós voltermos com uma baita de uma reiva
Da outra vez, nós num vai mais
Nós não semos tatu!
 
O Arnesto nos convidou pra um samba, ele mora no Brás
Nós fumos, não encontremos ninguém
Nós voltermos com uma baita de uma reiva
Da outra vez, nós num vai mais
 
No outro dia encontremo com o Arnesto
Que pediu desculpas, mas nós não aceitemos
Isso não se faz, Arnesto, nós não se importa
Mas você devia ter ponhado um recado na porta

No outro dia encontremo com o Arnesto
Que pediu desculpas, mas nós não aceitemos
Isso não se faz, Arnesto, nós não se importa
Mas você devia ter ponhado um recado na porta
 
Um recado assim ói: "Ói, turma, num deu pra espera
Ah, duvido que isso num faz mar, num tem importância
Assinado em cruz porque não sei escrever"
Arnesto.

ETTA JAMES
SONGWRITERS: JEAN SCHWARTZ; MILTON AGER & NED WEVER
COUNTRY: U. S. A.
ALBUM: AT LAST!
LABEL: ARGO RECORDS
GENRE: BLUES
YEAR: 1960
 
             At Last! is the debut studio album by American blues and soul artist Etta James. Released on Argo Records in November 1960 the album was produced by Phil and Leonard Chess. At Last! also rose to no. 12 upon the Billboard Top Catalog Albums chart.
                At Last! was ranked at #119 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. It was ranked as the 62nd best album of the 1960s by Pitchfork Magazine.
               The original release of At Last! was issued as a 12-inch LP consisting of ten tracks, five songs on each side of the LP. Phil and Leonard Chess believed that James's voice had crossover pop potential, so with this debut album, they backed her with orchestral arrangements on many of the tracks. At Last! eventually spawned four singles being "All I Could Do Was Cry", "Trust in Me", "At Last", and "My Dearest Darling". The album also included covers of pop and jazz standards, such as "Stormy Weather", "A Sunday Kind of Love", and "I Just Want to Make Love to You". In 1987, the album was released for the first time by MCA/Chess, and then digitally remastered and reissued on compact disc in 1999 with four bonus duet tracks performed with Harvey Fuqua: "My Heart Cries," "Spoonful," "It's a Crying Shame," and "If I Can't Have You."

Trust in me in all you do
Have the faith I have in you
Love will see us through, if only you trust in me
Why don't you trust me?
Come to me when things go wrong
 
Cling to me daddy and I'll be Strong
We can get along, we can get along if only you trust in me
While there's a moon, a moon on high
While there are birds, birds to fly
 
While there is you, you and II can be sure that I love you...
Stand beside me, stand beside me all the while
Come on daddy face the future, why don't you smile?
Trust in me, and I'll be worthy of you
Why don't you trust in me in all you do?
Have the faith that I have in you
 
And love will see us through, if only you trust in me
Why don't you come to me, when things go wrong, cling to me and I'll be strong
We can get along, we can get along if only you trust in me...

WAITING AT THE END OF THE ROAD

ETHEL WATERS

LABEL: COLUMBIA RECORDS
GENRE: JAZZ
YEAR: 1929
 
              Ethel Waters (October 31, 1896 – September 1, 1977) was an American singer and actress. Waters frequently performed jazz, swing, and pop music on the Broadway stage and in concerts. She began her career in the 1920s singing blues. Waters notable recordings include "Dinah", "Stormy Weather", "Taking a Chance on Love", "Heat Wave", "Supper Time", "Am I Blue?", "Cabin in the Sky", "I'm Coming Virginia", and her version of "His Eye Is on the Sparrow". Waters was the second African American to be nominated for an Academy Award. She was the first African American to star on her own television show and the first African-American woman to be nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award.
             Waters was born in Chester, Pennsylvania on October 31, 1896 (some sources state her birth year as 1900) as a result of the rape of her teenaged African-American mother, Louise Anderson (1881–1962) by John Waters, (1878–1901), a pianist and family acquaintance from a middle-class African-American background. Waters' family was very fair skinned, her mother in particular. Many sources, including Ethel herself, have reported for years that her mother was 12 or 13 years old at the time of the rape, 13 when Ethel was born. Stephen Bourne opens his 2007 biography, Ethel Waters: Stormy Weather, with the statement that genealogical research has shown that she may have been in her late teens.
          Waters played no role in raising Ethel. Soon after she was born, her mother married Norman Howard, a railroad worker. Ethel used the surname Howard as a child and then reverted to her father's name. She was raised in poverty by Sally Anderson, her grandmother, who worked as a housemaid, and with two of her aunts and an uncle. Waters never lived in the same place for more than 15 months. Of her difficult childhood, she said "I never was a child. I never was cuddled, or liked, or understood by my family."
           Waters grew tall, standing 5 feet 9.5 inches (1.765 m) in her teens. According to jazz historian and archivist Rosetta Reitz, Waters's birth in the North and her peripatetic life exposed her to many cultures. Waters married at the age of 13, but her husband was abusive, and she soon left the marriage and became a maid in a Philadelphia hotel, working for $4.75 per week. On her 17th birthday, she attended a costume party at a nightclub on Juniper Street. She was persuaded to sing two songs and impressed the audience so much that she was offered professional work at the Lincoln Theatre in Baltimore. She recalled that she earned the rich sum of $10 per week, but her managers cheated her out of the tips her admirers threw on the stage.

Weary of roamin' on,
Yearning to see the dawn,
Counting the hours till I can lay down my load.
Weary, but I don't mind,
Knowing that I'll soon find
Peace and contentment at the end of the road.
 
The way is long, the night is dark,
But I don't mind 'cause a happy lark
Will be singing at the end of the road.
I can't go wrong, I must go right,
I'll find my way 'cause a guiding light
Will be shining at the end of the road.
 
There may be thorns in my path, but I'll wear a smile,
For in a little while my path will be roses!
 
The rain may fall from up above,
But I won't stop 'cause the one I love
Will be waiting at the end of the road.
 
Say, the way may be long and the night is dark,
But I don't mind 'cause a happy lark
Will be singing at the end of the road;
And I can't go wrong, I must go right,
I'll find my way 'cause a guiding light
Will be shining at the end of the road.
 
There may be thorns in my path, but I'll wear a smile,
For in a little while my path will be roses!
 
And the rain may fall from up above,
But I won't stop 'cause the one I love
Will be waiting at the end of the road.

NO MOON AT ALL

JULIE LONDON
SONGWRITERS: REDD EVANS & DAVID MANN
COUNTRY: U. S. A.
ALBUM: JULIE IS HER NAME
LABEL: LIBERTY RECORDS
GENRE: JAZZ
YEAR: 1955
 
             Julie London (née Peck; September 26, 1926 – October 18, 2000) was an American singer and actress whose career spanned more than 40 years. A torch singer noted for her sultry, languid contralto vocals, London recorded over thirty albums of pop and jazz standards between 1955 and 1969. Her recording of "Cry Me a River", a track she introduced on her debut album, was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2001. In addition to her musical notice, London was nominated for a Golden Globe Award in 1974 for her portrayal of nurse Dixie McCall in the television series Emergency!.
              Born in Santa Rosa, California to vaudevillian parents, London was discovered while working as an elevator operator in downtown Los Angeles, and began her career as an actress. London's 35-year acting career began in film in 1944, and included roles as the female lead in numerous westerns, co-starring with Rock Hudson in The Fat Man (1951), with Robert Taylor and John Cassavetes in Saddle the Wind (1958), and opposite Robert Mitchum in The Wonderful Country (1959).
           In the mid-1950s, she signed a recording contract with the newly established Liberty Records, marking the beginning of her professional musical career. She released her final studio album in 1969, but achieved continuing success playing the female starring role of nurse Dixie McCall, in the television series Emergency! (1972–1979), in which she appeared opposite her real-life husband, Bobby Troup. The show was produced by her ex-husband, Jack Webb.
                A shy and introverted woman, London rarely granted interviews, and spent the remainder of her life out of the public sphere. In 1995, she suffered a stroke, which left her with permanent health problems. In 1999, she was diagnosed with lung cancer, but forewent treatment due to her already compromised physical state. She died of cardiac arrest the following year in Los Angeles, aged 74.
              "No Moon at All" is a jazz standard written in 1947 by David Mann and Redd Evans. The vocal parts were initially performed by Doris Day.

No moon at all, what a night
Even lightning bugs have dimmed their lights
Stars have disappeared from sight
And there's no moon at all
 
Don't make a sound, it's so dark
Even Fido is afraid to bark
What a perfect chance to park
And there's no moon at all
 
Should we want atmosphere for inspiration, dear
One kiss will make it clear
That tonight is right and bright moonlight might interfere
 
No moon at all way up above
This is nothing like they told us of
Just to think we fell in love
And there's no moon at all
 
Should we want atmosphere for inspiration, dear
One kiss will make it clear
That tonight is right and bright moonlight might interfere
 
No moon at all up above
Aww, this is nothing like they told us of
Just to think we fell in love
And there's no moon at all
 
Aww, there's no moon at all
There is no moon at all
No moon at all.
