Seals and Crofts were an American soft rockduo made up of James Eugene "Jim" Seals (born October 17,
1941) and Darrell George "Dash" Crofts (born August 14, 1938). They
are best known for their Hot
100Nº. 6 hits "Summer
Breeze" (1972), "Diamond Girl" (1973), and "Get Closer"
(1976). Both members have long been public advocates of the Baháʼí Faith.
Though the duo disbanded in 1980, they reunited briefly in 1991–1992, and again
in 2004, when they released their final album, Traces.
Unborn Child is the sixth studio album by Americanpop/folkduo Seals and Crofts.
It included two low-charting singles, the title track (which reached Nº.66) and "The King of
Nothing", which reached Nº.60.
When I was 17, I
dreamed of being king. And having everything I wanted.
But that was long ago and my dreams did not unfold, so I'm still the
King of Nothing.
When I was 17, I dreamed I gave a ring to a pretty queen and then I held
her.
But that was slumber's fault for I have no love at all. And I'm still the
King of Nothing.
If I could rule, I'd dance my cares away, find romance everyday.
I wouldn't have to listen to this poor fool say,
"I'm the King, I'm the King, I'm the King of Nothing."

In the early mornin' rain with a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart, and my pockets full of sand
I'm a long way from home, and I miss my loved one so
In the early mornin' rain with no place to go.
Out on runway number
nine, big seven-o-seven set to go
But I'm out here on the grass where the pavement never grows
Well the liquor tasted good and the women all were fast
There she goes my friend, she's rollin' down at last.
Hear the mighty
engine roar, see the silver wing on high
She's away and westward bound far above the clouds she'll fly
Where the mornin' rain don't fall and the sun always shines
She'll be flyin' o're my home in about three hours time.
This old airport's
got me down, it's no earthly good to me
Cause I'm stuck here on the ground,
Cold and drunk, as I might be.
Can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train
So I'd best be on my way in the early mornin' rain.
So I'd best be on my way in the early mornin' rain.
I NEVER
CRY

GENRE: SOFT ROCK
YEAR: 1976
Alice Cooper (born Vincent Damon Furnier,
February 4, 1948) is an American singer, songwriter, and actor whose career
spans over 50 years. With a raspy voice and a stage show that features numerous
props, including pyrotechnics, guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood,
reptiles, baby dolls, and dueling swords, Cooper is considered by music
journalists and peers to be "The Godfather of Shock Rock".
He has drawn equally from horror
films, vaudeville,
and garage rockto pioneer a macabre and theatrical brand of rock designed to shock
audiences.
Originating in Phoenix, Arizona,
in 1964, "Alice Cooper" was originally
a bandconsisting of Furnier on vocals and harmonica,
Glen Buxtonon lead guitar, Michael
Bruceon rhythm guitar, Dennis Dunawayon bass guitar, and Neal
Smithon drums. The original Alice Cooper band
released their debut album in 1969, and broke into the international music
mainstream with the 1971 hit song "I'm
Eighteen". The band reached their commercial peak in
1973 with their sixth studio album, Billion
Dollar Babies. They broke up in 1975 and
Furnier adopted the band's name as both his legal name and his stage name,
beginning his solo career with the 1975 concept
albumWelcome
to My Nightmare.
Expanding from his Detroit rockroots, Cooper has experimented with a number of musical styles,
including art rock,
hard rock,
heavy metal,
new wave,
glam metal,
and industrial rock.
He helped to shape the sound and look of heavy metal, and has been described as
the artist who "first introduced horror imagery to rock and roll,
and whose stagecraft and showmanship have permanently transformed the
genre". He is also known for his wit offstage, with The Rolling Stone Album Guidecalling
him the world's most "beloved heavy metal entertainer". Away from
music, Cooper is a film actor, a golfing celebrity, a restaurateur, and, since
2004, a radio DJ with his classic rock show Nights with Alice Cooper.
"I Never Cry" is a song by American
singer Alice Cooper.
It was originally released on his Alice Cooper Goes to Hellalbum in 1976.
The song was written by Cooper and Dick Wagner.
The song peaked at Nº. 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and at Nº. 9 on Cash Box in
January 1977. In Canada, it spent two weeks at Nº. 5.
"I Never Cry" was performed live by
Cooper, though not consistently, during all tours up to his break in touring
due to his addiction to crack cocaineand eventual relapse into alcoholism following 1981’s Special Forcestour. When
Cooper returned to touring after Constrictor,
"I Never Cry" was never again performed until the 2002 ‘Descent into Dragontown’
tour, following which the song became was a regular part of setlists on the
2005–06 ‘Dirty Diamonds’ and 2009–10 ‘Theatre
of Death’ tours.

She just wants to be
beautiful
She goes unnoticed
She knows no limits
She craves attention
She praises an image
She prays to be sculpted by the sculptor
Oh, she don't see the
light that's shining
Deeper than the eyes can find it
Maybe we have made her blind
So, she tries to cover up her pain
And cut her woes away
'Cause covergirls don't cry
After their face is made, but
There's a hope that's
waiting for you in the dark
You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
And you don't have to change a thing, the world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful
We're stars and we're beautiful
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
And you don't have to change a thing, the world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful
We're stars and we're beautiful
She has dreams to be
an envy
So she's starving
You know, covergirls eat nothing
She says: Beauty is pain and there's beauty in everything
What's a little bit of hunger?
I can go a little while longer
She fades away
She don't see her
perfect
She don't understand she's worth it
Or that beauty goes deeper than the surface, oh, oh, oh, oh
So to all the girls that's hurting, let me be your mirror
Help you see a little bit clearer
The light that shines within
There's a hope that's
waiting for you in the dark
You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
And you don't have to change a thing, the world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful
We're stars and we're beautiful
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
And you don't have to change a thing, the world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful
We're stars and we're beautiful
No better you than
the you that you are
(No better you than the you that you are)
No better life than the life we're living
(No better life than the life we're living)
No better time for your shine, you're a star
(No better time for your shine, you're a star)
Oh, you're beautiful
Oh, you're beautiful
There's a hope that's
waiting for you in the dark
You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
And you don't have to change a thing, the world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful
We're stars and we're beautiful
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
And you don't have to change a thing, the world could change its heart
