           Aaron Dupree Tippin (born July 3, 1958) is an American country musician and record producer. Initially a songwriter for Acuff-Rose Music, he gained a recording contract with RCA Nashville in 1990. His debut single, "You've Got to Stand for Something" became a popular anthem for American soldiers fighting in the Gulf War and helped to establish him as a neotraditionalist country act with songs that catered primarily to the American working class. Under RCA's tenure, he recorded five studio albums and a Greatest Hits package. Tippin switched to Lyric Street Records in 1998, where he recorded four more studio albums, counting a compilation of Christmas music. After leaving Lyric Street in 2006, he founded a personal label known as Nippit Records, on which he issued the compilation álbum Now & Then. A concept album, In Overdrive, was released in 2009.
          Tippin has released a total of nine studio albums and two compilations, with six gold certifications and one platinum certification among them. In addition, he has charted more than thirty singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, including three Number Ones: "There Ain't Nothin' Wrong with the Radio" (1992), "That's as Close as I'll Get to Loving You" (1995), and "Kiss This" (2000), as well as the top ten hits "You've Got to Stand for Something", "I Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way", "My Blue Angel", "Workin' Man's Ph.D.", "For You I Will", and "Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly".

Maybe we'll never be seen together
At night on a crowded street
I may never reach across your body
And kill the light when you're asleep
 
Maybe I'll never watch you dressing
Or sound too familiar on the phone
But I can touch your hand that's against me
And take that moment home
 
That's as close as I'll get to loving you
Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do
I can dream, I can hope, I can see but still I know
That's as close as I'll get to loving you
 
I won't be there when you need holding
But I'm sure that he can pull you through
But I can sing this song to everybody
And pretend it's not about you
 
That's as close as I'll get to loving you
Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do
I can dream, I can hope, I can see but still I know
That's as close as I'll get to loving you
 
That's as close as I'll get to loving you
Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do
I can dream, I can hope, I can see but still I know
That's as close as I'll get to loving you
That's as close as I'll get to
Yeah, that's as close as I'll get to
That's as close as I'll get to loving you.

I saw this angel
I really saw an angel
 
Open up your eyes, shut your mouth and see
That I'm still the only one who's been in love with me
I'm just happy getting you stuck in between my teeth
And there's nothing I can do about it
 
Broke a finger knocking on your bedroom door
I got splinters in my knuckles crawling across the floor
Couldn't take you home to mother in a skirt that short
But I think that's what I like about it
 
She's an angel
Only angel
She's an angel
My only angel
 
I must admit I thought I'd like to make you mine
As I went about my business through the warning signs
End up meeting in the hallway every single time
And there's nothing we can do about it
 
Told it to her brother and she told it to me
That she's gonna be an angel, just you wait and see
When it turns out she's a devil in between the sheets
And there's nothing she can do about it
Hey, hey
 
She's an angel
Only angel
She's an angel
My only angel
 
She's an angel
Only angel
She's an angel
My only angel
 
Wanna die, wanna die, wanna die Tonight
Wanna die, wanna die, wanna die tonight
Wanna die, wanna die, wanna die tonight
 
She's an angel
Only angel
She's an angel
My only angel
 
She's an angel
My only angel
She's an angel
My-my-my only angel.

É tão calma a noite
A noite é de nós dois
Ninguém amou assim
Nem há de amar depois
 
Quando o amanhã nos separar
Em nossa lembrança hão de ficar
Beijos de verão
Ternuras de luar
A brisa a murmurar
Sua canção
 
Tudo tem suave encanto
Quando a noite vem
A noite é só nossa
No mundo não há mais ninguém
 
Beijos de verão
Ternuras de luar
A brisa a murmurar
Sua canção
 
Tudo tem suave encanto
Quando a noite vem
A noite é só nossa
No mundo não há mais ninguém.

ANO: 1992
 

          Emília Savana da Silva Borba, conhecida como Emilinha Borba, (Rio de Janeiro, 31 de agosto de 1923 — Rio de Janeiro, 3 de outubro de 2005) foi uma cantora de samba, marcha e choro brasileira. É considerada uma das mais populares intérpretes do século XX no Brasil.
            Emília Savana da Silva Borba, nasceu no Bairro da Mangueira, na cidade do Rio de Janeiro em 31 de agosto de 1923. Era filha de Eugênio Jordão Borba e Edith da Silva Borba.
         Ainda menina e contrariando um pouco a vontade de sua mãe, apresentava-se em diversos programas de auditório e de calouros. Ganhou seu primeiro prêmio, aos 14 anos, na "Hora Juvenil", da Rádio Cruzeiro do Sul. Cantou também no programa "Calouros de Ary Barroso", obtendo a nota máxima ao interpretar "O X do Problema", de Noel Rosa. Logo depois, começou a fazer parte dos coros das gravações da Columbia.
          Formou, na mesma época, uma dupla com Bidu Reis (Edila Luísa Reis), chamada As Moreninhas. A Dupla se apresentou em várias rádios, durante cerca de um ano e meio. Logo depois, a dupla gravou para a "Discoteca Infantil" um disco em 78 RPM com a música "A História da Baratinha", numa adaptação de João de Barro. Desfeita a dupla, Emilinha passou a cantar sozinha e foi logo contratada pela Rádio Mayrink Veiga, recebendo de César Ladeira o slogan "Garota Grau Dez".
           Em 1939 foi convidada por João de Barro para participar da gravação da marcha Pirulito cantada por Nilton Paz, sendo que no disco seu nome não foi creditado, apenas o do cantor.
              Em março do mesmo ano grava, pela Columbia e com o nome de Emília Borba, seu primeiro disco solo em 78 RPM, com acompanhamento de Benedito Lacerda e seu conjunto, com o samba-choro Faça o mesmo, de Antônio Nássara e Eratóstenes Frazão e o samba Ninguém escapa de Eratóstenes Frazão.
        Ainda em 1939, foi levada por sua madrinha artística, Carmen Miranda, de quem sua mãe era camareira, para fazer um teste no Cassino da Urca. Por ser menor de idade resolveu alterar sua idade para alguns anos a mais. Além disso, Carmen Miranda emprestou-lhe um vestido e sapatos plataforma. Aprovada pelo empresário Joaquim Rolla proprietário do Cassino da Urca, foi contratada e passou a se apresentar como "crooner", tornando-se logo em seguida uma das principais atrações daquela casa de espetáculos.

Um dia,
Uma vez lá em Cuba
Dançando uma rumba,
Disseram que eu era,
Escandalosa (2x)
 
Dancei,
E não me incomodei
Pois a rumba em si,
É maliciosa...
Escandalosa (2x)
 
A rumba, tem um ritmo louco,
Que remexe meu corpo assim,
Escandalosa...
 
Com Muchachos sabidos,
Bem juntinhos de mim,
Confessando ao meu ouvido, "És deliciosa",
Escandalosa...
