Vinicius
de Moraes, nascido Marcus Vinicius de Moraes (Rio de Janeiro, 19 de outubro de
1913 — Rio de Janeiro, 9 de julho de 1980, foi um poeta, dramaturgo,
jornalista, diplomata, cantor e compositor brasileiro.
Poeta
essencialmente lírico,
o que lhe renderia o apelido "poetinha", que lhe teria atribuído Tom Jobim, notabilizou-se pelos seus sonetos. Conhecido
como um boêmio inveterado, fumante e
apreciador do uísque,
era também conhecido por ser um grande conquistador. O poetinha casou-se por
nove vezes ao longo de sua vida e suas esposas foram, respectivamente: Beatriz
Azevedo de Melo (mais conhecida como Tati
de Moraes), Regina Pederneiras, Lila Bôscoli, Maria Lúcia Proença, Nelita
de Abreu, Cristina Gurjão, Gesse Gessy, Marta Rodrigues Santamaria (a Martita)
e Gilda de Queirós Mattoso.
Sua
obra é vasta, passando pela literatura, teatro, cinema e música. Ainda assim,
sempre considerou que a poesia foi sua primeira e maior vocação, e que toda sua
atividade artística deriva do fato de ser poeta. No campo musical, o poetinha
teve como principais parceiros Tom Jobim, Toquinho, Baden Powell, João
Gilberto, Chico Buarque e Carlos
Lyra.
De tudo, ao meu amor
serei atento antes
E com tal zelo, e
sempre, e tanto
Que mesmo em face do
maior encanto
Dele se encante mais
meu pensamento
Quero vivê-lo em cada
vão momento
E em seu louvor hei
de espalhar meu canto
E rir meu riso e
derramar meu pranto
Ao seu pesar ou seu
contentamento
E assim quando mais
tarde me procure
Quem sabe a morte,
angústia de quem vive
Quem sabe a solidão,
fim de quem ama
Eu possa lhe dizer do
amor (que tive):
Que não seja imortal,
posto que é chama
Mas que seja infinito
enquanto dure.

Sir Cliff Richard OBE(born Harry
Rodger Webb; 14 October 1940) is an English singer, musician, actor, and
philanthropist who holds both Britishand Barbadian
citizenship. He has sold more than 250
million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time.
He has total sales of over 21.5 million singles in the United Kingdom and
is the third-top-selling artist in UK
Singles Charthistory, behind the Beatlesand Elvis Presley.
Richard was originally marketed as a
rebellious rock and rollsinger in the style of Presley and Little Richard.
With his backing group, the Shadows,
he dominated the British popular music scene in the pre-Beatles period of the
late 1950s to early 1960s. His 1958 hit single "Move It" is
often described as Britain's first authentic rock and rollsong; John Lennononce said that "before Cliff and the Shadows, there had been
nothing worth listening to in British music". In the early 1960s, he had a
prosperous film career with films including The Young Onesand Summer Holiday.
Increased focus on his Christianity and subsequent softening of his music led
to a more middle-of-the-roadimage, and he
sometimes ventured into contemporary Christian music.
Over a career spanning 60 years, Richard has
amassed several gold and platinum discs and awards, including two Ivor NovelloAwards and three Brit
Awards. More than 130 of his singles, albums, and EPshave reached the UK Top 20, more than any other artist. Richard has
had 67 UK top ten singles, the second highest total for an artist behind
Presley. He holds the record, with Presley, as the only act to make the UK
singles charts in all of its first six decades (1950s–2000s). He has achieved
14 UK No. 1 singles, and is the only singer to have had a No. 1 single in the
UK in each of five consecutive decades. He also had four UK Christmas No. 1 singles,
two of which were as a solo artist; "Mistletoe
and Wine" and "Saviour's
Day".
Richard
has never achieved the same popularity in the United States despite eight US
Top 40 singles, including the million-selling "Devil Woman" and "We Don't Talk Anymore".
In Canada, he had a successful period in the early
1960s, the late 1970s and early 1980s, with some releases certified gold and
platinum. He has remained a popular music, film, and television personality in
Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Northern Europe and Asia, and retains a
following in other countries. When not touring, he divides his time between
Barbados and Portugal. In 2019, he relocated to the United States.
The Young Ones (US title: Wonderful
to Be Young!) is a 1961 British film musical, directed by Sidney J. Furieand starring Cliff
Richard, Robert
Morleyas his character's father, Carole Grayas his love interest, and the
Shadowsas his band. The screenplay was
written by Peter Myers and Ronald
Cass, who also wrote most of the songs. Herbert Rosschoreographed the dance scenes.
Although Richard had appeared in two pictures
prior, The Young Ones was this first major film in a string of musical films
including Summer Holidayand Wonderful Life. Its soundtrack spawning
numerous hits including the
title track.
The film was produced by the Associated British Picture Corporationand shot at their Elstree Studios. It had its World Premiere on 13
December 1961 at the Warner Theatrein London's West End.
When the girl in your arms
Is the girl in you heart
Then you have got everything
When you are holding the dream
You have been dreaming you would hold
You're as rich as a king
So hold her tight
And never let her go
Day and night
Let her know
You love her so
With the love of your life
Spend the lifetime of love
Make her yours for evermore
So hold her tight
And never let her go
Day and night
Let her know
You love her so
With the love of your life
Spend the lifetime of love
Make her yours for evermore
Make her yours for evermore.

Looking back on the
memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye?
And now I'm glad I
didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd had to miss the dance
Holding you I held
everything
For a moment wasn't I a king?
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all
And now I'm glad I
didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd had to miss the dance
Yes my life is better
left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd had to miss the dance.

Marina
de La Riva é o Álbum de Estreiagravado pela cantora brasileira Marina DE lA Riva. Lançado em 2007 pelo selo Mousike, a
sua distribuição foi feita pela gravadora Universal Music.
O
CD possui 14 faixas (escolhidas dentre um rol de 24 faixas gravadas), as quais
apresentam o sincretismo entre a música cubana e brasileira. Algumas músicas
de la Habana apresentam trechos de músicas brasileiras (“Tin Tin Deo”, com
os dois mais famosos versos de “Xote das Meninas”, de Luiz Gonzaga
e Zé Dantas;
“Ojos Malignos”, com a inclusão da melodia de “Sampa” de Caetano
Veloso). E também ao contrário, algumas músicas brasileiras
apresentam trechos de músicas cubanas (caso de “Adeus Maria Fulô”, que contém
“La Mulata Chancletera”), ou poemas de poetas cubanos (caso da poesia “Cultivo
una Rosa Blanca”, de José Martí,
que é declamada ao final da famosa música “Sonho Meu”). As canções cubanas
foram gravadas em Cuba
(com exceção de "Ojos Malignos"), as brasileiras no Brasil.
O
álbum ficou três anos em estúdio até ser concluído e chegou às lojas
oficialmente no dia 25 de maio de 2007. Foi muito bem
recebido não só pela crítica, mas como também pelo público, tendo boa vendagem.
Fato inusitado é que nem a própria gravadora esperava que o CD obtivesse boa
quantidade de vendas em tão pouco tempo.
Através
desse CD, Marina conquistou o prêmio APCA em 2007 por revelação
feminina (categoria música popular). O álbum foi indicado ao Prêmio Tim de
Música de 2007. Além disso, Pedro Alexandre Sanches (segundo Rita
Lee, um dos críticos mais temidos pelos músicos), da revista Carta Capital, Lauro Lisboa Garcia, do
jornal O Estado de S. Paulo, e Sérgio Martins, da
Veja,
elegeram o CD como um dos melhores de 2007. Na lista de os melhores CDs e
músicas de 2007 da revista Rolling Stone, estão presentes este álbum e a
canção “Sonho Meu” (mais informações logo abaixo na seção
"críticas").
