           Philippe de Chateleux de Villeneuve-Bargemont de Duras, dit Philippe Chatel, est un auteur-compositeur-interprète français, né le 23 février 1948 à Paris où il est mort le 19 février 2021.
        Petit-fils de Roger de Chateleux (1878-1956), écrivain et journaliste belge, ami d'Henry de Monfreid, auteur dans les années 1950 d'une série de reportages sur le vaste monde, publiés sous le pseudonyme Stany (éd. La Table ronde) et de Chalux, et pour certains diffusés sur Radio Luxembourg, fils de François de Chateleux, réalisateur de télévision sous le pseudonyme de François Chatel (1926-1982), auquel on doit notamment les tout premiers numéros de l'émission Apostrophes, Philippe Chatel et son épouse, Catherine, ont deux enfants, Émilie et Nicolas, nés respectivement en 1975 et en 1980
      Après avoir débuté comme coursier d'Henri Salvador, Philippe Chatel fait partie de la première vague de la nouvelle chanson française. Proche notamment de Georges Brassens, il compose, écrit et interprète ses propres chansons. Son premier grand succès populaire, J't'aime bien Lili, paraît en 1977. Suivent des titres comme Ma lycéenne, Tout quitter mais tout emporter, et surtout Mister Hyde.
J't'aime bien Lili
Pour tous les livres que tu lis,
J't'aime bien Lili
J't'aime bien au lit, j't'aime bien au lit aussi,
Tu es le i du mot ma nuit, du mot ma vie
Tu es le i du mot ma nuit, du mot ma vie aussi.
J't'aime bien Lili
Pour toutes les bêtises que tu dis,
J't'aime bien Lili
Quand tu m'ennuies, quand tu m'ennuies aussi,
Tu es le i du mot ma nuit, du mot ma vie
Tu es le i du mot ma nuit, du mot ma vie aussi.
 
J't'aime bien Lili
Quand tu rentres trop tard et que tu me souris, Lili
C'est pas la pluie, c'est lui.
 
J't'aime bien Lili
Bien qu'on aura jamais les mêmes jeudis, Lili, Lili, Lili,
J't'aime bien Lili,
Mais j'ai du mal à vivre cette vie,
Entre le silence et l'oubli
J'attends mon paradis.
T'es pas le i du mot logis, du mot abri
 
Tu es le i du mot ami, du mot ennemi aussi.
J't'aime bien Lili
Quand tu rentres trop tard et que tu me souris, Lili
C'est pas la pluie, c'est lui.
 
J't'aime bien Lili
Bien que je sois pas le seul à qui tu dises oui, Lili, Lili
J't'aime bien Lili
Quand on est tous les deux la nuit,
J't'aime bien Lili
J't'aime bien au lit, j't'aime bien au lit aussi,
Tu es le i du mot désir, du mot envie,
Et c'est pour ça que je reste là, que je reste ici, Lili.

           Neil Percival Young OC OM (born November 12, 1945) is a Canadian-American singer-songwriter, musician, and activist. After embarking on a music career in the 1960s, he moved to Los Angeles, joining Buffalo Springfield with Stephen Stills, Richie Furay and others. Since his early solo albums and those with his backing band Crazy Horse, Young has been prolific, recording a steady stream of studio and live albums.
           Young has received several Grammy and Juno Awards. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted him twice: in 1995 as a solo artist and in 1997 as a member of Buffalo Springfield. In 2000, Rolling Stone named Young the 34th greatest rock 'n roll artist. His guitar work, deeply personal lyrics and signature tenor singing voice define his long career. He also plays piano and harmonica on many albums, which frequently combine folk, rock, country and other musical styles. His often distorted electric guitar playing, especially with Crazy Horse, earned him the nickname "Godfather of Grunge" and led to his 1995 album Mirror Ball with Pearl Jam. More recently he has been backed by Promise of the Real. His 21 albums and singles have been certified Gold and Platinum in U.S by RIAA certification.
             Young directed (or co-directed) films using the pseudonym Bernard Shakey, including Journey Through the Past (1973), Rust Never Sleeps (1979), Human Highway (1982), Greendale (2003), and CSNY/Déjà Vu (2008). He also contributed to the soundtracks of the films Philadelphia (1993) and Dead Man (1995).
           Young has lived in California since the 1960s but retains Canadian citizenship. He was awarded the Order of Manitoba on July 14, 2006, and was made an Officer of the Order of Canada on December 30, 2009. He became a United States citizen, taking dual citizenship, on January 22, 2020.
       "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" is a song written by Neil Young. It has been covered by many bands, including a 1990 single by Saint Etienne.
When you were young
and on your own
How did it feel
to be alone?
I was always thinking
of games that I was playing.
Trying to make
the best of my time.
 
But only love
can break your heart
Try to be sure
right from the start
Yes only love
can break your heart
What if your world
should fall apart?
 
I have a friend
I've never seen
He hides his head
inside a dream
Someone should call him
and see if he can come out.
Try to lose
the down that he's found.
 
But only love
can break your heart
Try to be sure
right from the start
Yes only love
can break your heart
What if your world
should fall apart?
 
I have a friend
I've never seen
He hides his head
inside a dream
Yes, only love
can break your heart
Yes, only love
can break your heart.

        Yusuf Islam (born Steven Demetre Georgiou; 21 July 1948), commonly known by his stage names Cat Stevens, Yusuf, and Yusuf/Cat Stevens, is a British singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. His musical style consists of folk, pop, rock, and, in his later career, Islamic music, before returning to secular music in 2006. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
          His 1967 debut album and its title song "Matthew and Son" both reached top ten in the UK charts. Stevens' albums Tea for the Tillerman (1970) and Teaser and the Firecat (1971) were certified triple platinum in the US. His 1972 album Catch Bull at Four spent weeks at the top of several major charts. He earned ASCAP songwriting awards in 2005 and 2006 for "The First Cut Is the Deepest", and the song has been a hit for four artists. His other hit songs include "Father and Son", "Wild World", "Moonshadow", "Peace Train", and "Morning Has Broken".
           In December 1977, Stevens converted to Islam and adopted the name Yusuf Islam the following year. In 1979, he auctioned all of his guitars for charity. He has since bought back at least one of these guitars as a result of the efforts of his son Yoriyos, and left his musical career to devote himself to educational and philanthropic causes in the Muslim community. He was embroiled in a long-running controversy regarding comments he made in 1989 about the death fatwa on author Salman Rushdie. His current stance is that he never supported the fatwa: “I was cleverly framed by certain questions. I never supported the fatwa." He has received two honorary doctorates and awards for promoting peace as well as other humanitarian awards.
            In 2006, he returned to pop music – releasing his first new studio album of new pop songs in 28 years, entitled An Other Cup. With that release and subsequent ones, he dropped the surname "Islam" from the album cover art – using the stage name Yusuf as a mononym. In 2009, he released the album Roadsinger and, in 2014, he released the album Tell 'Em I'm Gone and began his first US tour since 1978. His second North American tour since his resurgence, featuring 12 shows in intimate venues, ran from 12 September to 7 October 2016. In 2017, he released the album The Laughing Apple, now using the stage name Yusuf/Cat Stevens, using the Cat Stevens name for the first time in 39 years. In September 2020, he released Tea for the Tillerman 2, a reimagining of his classic album Tea for the Tillerman to celebrate its 50th anniversary.
         Teaser and the Firecat is the fifth studio album by Cat Stevens, released in October 1971.
         At the Australian 1972 King of Pop Awards the album won Biggest Selling L.P.
I listen to the wind
to the wind of my soul
Where I'll end up well I think,
only God really knows
I've sat upon the setting sun
But never, never never never
I never wanted water once
No, never, never, never
 
I listen to my words but
they fall far below
I let my music take me where
my heart wants to go
I swam upon the devil's lake
But never, never never never
I'll never make the same mistake
No, never, never, never.

I WON’T BACK DOWN

JOHNNY CASH
SONGWRITERS: JEFF LYNNE & TOM PETTY
COUNTRY: U. S. A.
ALBUM: AMERICAN III: SOLITARY MAN
LABEL: AMERICAN
GENRE: COUNTRY
YEAR: 2000
 
         John R. Cash (born J. R. Cash; February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003) was an American singer, songwriter, musician, and actor. Much of Cash's music contained themes of sorrow, moral tribulation, and redemption, especially in the later stages of his career. He was known for his deep, calm bass-baritone voice, the distinctive sound of his Tennessee Three backing band characterized by train-like chugging guitar rhythms, a rebelliousness coupled with an increasingly somber and humble demeanor, free prison concerts, and a trademark all-black stage wardrobe which earned him the nickname "The Man in Black".
       Born to poor cotton farmers in Kingsland, Arkansas, Cash rose to fame in the burgeoning rockabilly scene in Memphis, Tennessee, after four years in the Air Force. He traditionally began his concerts by simply introducing himself, "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash", followed by "Folsom Prison Blues", one of his signature songs. Alongside "Folsom Prison Blues", his other signature songs include "I Walk the Line", "Ring of Fire", "Get Rhythm", and "Man in Black". He also recorded humorous numbers like "One Piece at a Time" and "A Boy Named Sue", a duet with his future wife June called "Jackson" (followed by many further duets after their wedding), and railroad songs such as "Hey, Porter", "Orange Blossom Special", and "Rock Island Line". During the last stage of his career, he covered songs by contemporary rock artists of the time; his most notable covers were "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails, "Rusty Cage" by Soundgarden, and "Personal Jesus" by Depeche Mode.
           Cash is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 90 million records worldwide. His genre-spanning music embraced country, rock and roll, rockabilly, blues, folk, and gospel sounds. This crossover appeal earned him the rare honor of being inducted into the Country Music, Rock and Roll, and Gospel Music Halls of Fame.
         American III: Solitary Man is a studio album by Johnny Cash. It was released on October 17, 2000, by American Recordings. It is the third album in Cash's American series.
        "I Won't Back Down" is a song by American rock musician Tom Petty. It was released in April 1989 as the lead single from his first solo album, Full Moon Fever. The song was co-written by Petty and Jeff Lynne, also his writing partner for the album. It reached number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Album Rock Tracks chart for five weeks, starting the album's road to multi-platinum status.

Well, I won't back down, no, I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down
 
Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down
 
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey, I will stand my ground and I won't back down
 
Well, I know what's right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I stand my ground and I won't back down
 
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground and I won't back down
No, I won't back down.
