       Juan Luis Guerra Seijas (Santo Domingo, República Dominicana; 7 de junio de 1957), más conocido como Juan Luis Guerra, es un cantante, compositor, arreglista, músico, productor y empresario dominicano quien ha vendido más de 70 millones de discos, que ha ganado numerosos premios, incluidos 21 Grammy Latinos, dos Grammy estadounidenses y tres Premios Latin Billboard.
        En 2007 fue el máximo galardonado con 6 Grammy Latinos. Ganó 3 Grammy Latinos en 2010, incluido 'A son de Guerra' como álbum del año. En el 2012, ganó un Grammy Latino como Productor del Año.
También fue el máximo galardonado en los Grammy Latinos en 2015, con tres gramófonos. Su carrera comercial comenzó con los álbumes Mudanza y acarreo y Mientras más lo pienso... tú. Él y su banda fueron nominados para asistir al Festival OTI de la Canción y representar a la República Dominicana.
         Su siguiente álbum, Ojalá que llueva café (1989), le trajo el reconocimiento internacional. En este álbum mezcla el merengue con melodías suaves y pistas de fondo súperrápidas, convirtiéndose inmediatamente en éxito en muchos países de América Latina, con la canción del mismo nombre como primer sencillo. Posteriormente, se filmó el vídeo de la canción, y Juan Luis Guerra y su banda 4.40 comenzaron a viajar. La canción se revivió en 1996 y en el 2008 con las versiones de la banda mexicana Café Tacuba y la cantante española Rosario Flores.
        El 11 de diciembre de 1990, lanzó al mercado su siguiente álbum, Bachata rosa, que se convirtió en un gran éxito y le otorgó a Guerra su primer Grammy. El álbum, que había vendido más de cinco millones de copias en ese momento, permitió que Guerra se mantuviera firme en su gira por América Latina, Estados Unidos y Europa. Este álbum contiene canciones de amor memorables como «Burbujas de amor», «Bachata rosa», «Rosalía», «Como abeja al panal», «A pedir su mano», «Carta de amor», y «Estrellitas y duendes».
      En 1992, lanzó su álbum más comprometido socialmente, Areíto (que es una palabra taína), y su primer éxito, «El costo de la vida» (número uno en el Hot Latin Tracks, donde Guerra fue el primer artista de música tropical que logró esta hazaña), cuyo video tiene un claro mensaje anticapitalista. Otras canciones incluidas en este álbum protestan contra las malas condiciones en muchos países de América Latina, hablan de la celebración del «descubrimiento» de América y de la doble moral de los países del Primer Mundo.
          En el álbum Fogaraté (1994), Guerra se desligó de las canciones de protesta. Este álbum está centrado especialmente en los géneros musicales más rurales y menos conocidos dentro de la música dominicana, como por ejemplo el perico ripiao.
         Su disco Ni es lo mismo ni es igual (1998) cosechó gran éxito de crítica, ganando tres premios Grammy Latinos en el año 2000 a la mejor interpretación de merengue, mejor canción tropical y mejor arreglo. Sus éxitos incluyen «Mi PC», «Palomita blanca» y «El Niágara en bicicleta».
          Juan Luis Guerra es uno de los artistas latinos más reconocidos internacionalmente en las últimas décadas. Su estilo de mesclar merengue y bolero, y la fusión de afro-pop/jazz le ha ganado un considerable éxito en toda América Latina. Guerra generalmente es asociado con la música popular dominicana llamada bachata, y aunque esta asociación es en parte cierta, Guerra realmente utiliza los conceptos básicos del ritmo bachata pero con un toque de bolero más melódico. No se limita a sí mismo a un estilo de música, sino que incorpora diversos ritmos musicales que incluyen merengue, bolero, bachata, balada, salsa, rock and roll e incluso gospel. La canción «Ojalá que llueva café» es una de sus piezas más aclamadas. Guerra también realizó un remix de la canción «La llave de mi corazón» com Taboo de los Black Eyed Peas, como claro ejemplo de su fusión de géneros musicales.
          Todo tiene su hora es el decimotercer álbum de estudio del icono de la música Juan Luis Guerra, Este disco abarca varios géneros musicales como la bachata, el merengue, la salsa y el son y todas las canciones fueron compuestas por Juan Luis Guerra. Ganador de três Latin Grammy 2015, Álbum del año, Mejor Álbum tropical Contemporáneo y Mejor Canción tropical (Tus Besos), También nominado al Grammy anglosajón a Mejor Álbum De Música Tropical, así como también a los Premios Videoclip Awards 2016, como Mejor video musical de Bachata (Muchachita Linda) y Mejor video musical de Merengue (Todo Tiene Su Hora).

(Amor inmenso más ancho que el mar)
 
Porque tus besos se han quedado en mi cara mujer
(Son como sellitos de amor en mi piel)
Tus besos procurándome en esta canción

Columna de palacio y orquídeas de sol
(Oh y orquídeas de sol)
(Incienso y mirra pa’ mi corazón)

Tus besos que me arrullan, me dan la ilusión
(Bálsamo y perfume pa’ mi corazón)
 
Vístete de amanhecer
Cúbreme con tu esplendor
Muéstrame cuan alto y profundo es tu amor
(Oh cuan alto y profundo es tu amor)
 
Porque tu besos se han quedado en mi cara mujer
(Son como sellitos de amor en mi piel)

(Besos de ternura, besitos de miel)
Tus besos que me enamoran, me dan la ilusión
(Bálsamo y perfume pa’ mi corazón).

THE AIR THAT I BREATHE

CLIFF RICHARD FEAT ALBERT HAMMOND

GENRE: ROCK
YEAR: 2020
 
          Sir Cliff Richard OBE (born Harry Rodger Webb; 14 October 1940) is an English singer, musician, actor, and philanthropist who holds both British and 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 Chart history, behind the Beatles and Elvis Presley.
       Richard was originally marketed as a rebellious rock and roll singer 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 roll song; John Lennon once 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 Ones and Summer Holiday. Increased focus on his Christianity and subsequent softening of his music led to a more middle-of-the-road image, 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 Novello Awards and three Brit Awards. More than 130 of his singles, albums, and EPs have 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.
           Music... The Air That I Breathe is the 45th studio album by British pop singer Cliff Richard, released on 30 October 2020. The album entered the UK Albums Chart at number 3, which has seen Richard become the first artist to make the top five of the albums chart for eight consecutive decades.
         On radio, the album was BBC Radio 2's 'Album of the week' in its first week of release, with the lead single "Falling for You" in rotation (and having been so for several weeks). The latest single "PS Please", featuring Mark Knopfler on lead guitar, has been added to the BBC Radio 2 new music playlist.
         In other media, the album has been part of the conversation when Richard was interviewed on Piers Morgan's Life Stories (ITV, UK) on 25 October 2020, The One Show (BBC, UK) on 28 October 2020 and Sunrise (7, Australia) on 30 October 2020. Richard was also featured singing his new song "PS Please" on Songs of Praise (BBC) on 1 November 2020.
If, I could make a wish, I think I'd pass;
Can't think of anything I need;
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound,
Nothing to eat, no books to read;
Making love with you has left me peaceful warm and tired,
What more could I ask
There's nothing left to be desired;
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak,
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep;
Some times, all I need is the air that I breathe
Just to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
 
Peavce came upon me and it makes me weak,
Sleep silent angel go to sleep
Some times, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you,
All I need is the air that I breathe
Just to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe.

BEFORE THEY MAKE ME RUN

KEITH RICHARDS
SONGWRITERS: KEITH RICHARD & MICK JAGGER
COUNTRY: U. K.
ALBUM: SOME GIRLS
LABEL: ROLLING STONES
GENRE: BLUES ROCK
YEAR: 2009
 
      "Before They Make Me Run" is a song by the English rock band The Rolling Stones, featured on their 1978 album Some Girls.
        Written by guitarist Keith Richards, the song is a response to his arrest for heroin possession in Toronto in February 1977. The criminal charges and prospect of a prison sentence loomed over the Some Girls recording sessions and endangered the future of the Rolling Stones.
      In the lyrics, Richards reflects unapologetically on his lifestyle up to that point. The line "it's another goodbye to another good friend" in the first verse can be interpreted as referring to Gram Parsons, Richards's close friend who died in 1973 from a drug overdose, and/or to heroin itself: Richards had sought medical treatment for heroin addiction following his arrest in Toronto, and his resolution to overcome his addiction would be a significant factor in his upcoming trial.
         Richards recorded the song in five days without sleeping. Originally entitled "Rotten Roll", the song was recorded in a Paris studio in March 1978 during one of Mick Jagger's absences from the Some Girls sessions. The completed track - "a high-energy rock & roller"- features Richards on lead vocals, acoustic and electric guitars and bass; Ronnie Wood on pedal steel guitar, slide guitar and backing vocals, Charlie Watts on drums, and Jagger on backing vocals.
         Richards first performed the song in concert on the New Barbarians' tour of North America in 1979; it was not until the Steel Wheels Tour in 1989 that it entered the Rolling Stones' concert repertoire. Like "Happy", the song has become one of Richards' "signature tunes", performed on most Rolling Stones tours since 1989; he also played it on the X-Pensive Winos' 1992-93 tours promoting his album Main Offender.
        Live performances of the song are included in the Stones' 2003 Four Flicks DVD collection and as bonus tracks in their 2013 and 2016 DVD & Blu-ray sets Sweet Summer Sun: Hyde Park Live and Havana Moon.
     Steve Earle has also performed the song in concert and has recorded it as part of a split single with the Supersuckers. 
Worked in bars and sideshows along the twilight zone
Only a crowd can make you feel so alone
And it really hit home
Booze and pills and powders, you can choose your medicine
Well it's another goodbye to another good friend
 
After all is said and done
Gotta move while it's still fun
Let me walk before they make me run
After all is said and done
I gotta move, it's still fun
I'm gonna walk before they make me run
 
Watched the taillights fading, there ain't a dry eye in the house
They're laughing and singing
Started dancing and drinking as I left town
Gonna find my way to heaven, `cause I did my time in hell
I wasn't looking too good but I was feeling real well
 
After all is said and done
I gotta move I had my fun
Let us walk before they make me run
 
After all is said and done
I did alright, I had my fun
I will walk before they make me run.

THE HOUSE IS ROCKIN'

STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN & DOUBLE TROUBLE
SONGWRITERS: Doyle Bramhall & Stevie Ray Vaughan
COUNTRY: U. S. A.
ALBUM: IN STEP
LABEL: EPIC RECORDS
GENRE: BLUES ROCK
YEAR: 1989
 
         Stephen Ray Vaughan (October 3, 1954 – August 27, 1990) was an American musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer, best known as the guitarist and frontman of the blues rock band Double Trouble. Although his mainstream career only spanned seven years, he is considered to be one of the most iconic and influential musicians in the history of blues music, and one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
         Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Vaughan began playing guitar at age seven, initially inspired by his elder brother Jimmie Vaughan. In 1972, he dropped out of high school and moved to Austin, where he began to gain a following after playing gigs on the local club circuit. Vaughan formed the band Double Trouble in 1978 and established it as part of the Austin music scene, which soon became one of the most popular acts in Texas. He performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1982 where David Bowie saw him play and contacted him for a studio gig, resulting in Stevie playing his blues guitar on the album Let's Dance (1983) before being discovered by John Hammond, who interested major label Epic Records in signing them to a record deal. Within months, Vaughan achieved mainstream success with Double Trouble for the critically acclaimed debut álbum Texas Flood. With a series of successful network television appearances and extensive concert tours, he became the leading figure in the blues revival of the 1980s. Playing his guitar behind his back or plucking the strings with his teeth like Jimi Hendrix did, he earned unprecedented stardom in Europe which later resulted in breakthroughs for guitar players like Robert Cray, Jeff Healey, Robben Ford and Walter Trout, amongst others.
     During the majority of his life, Vaughan struggled with drug and alcohol addiction. He also struggled with the personal and professional pressures of fame, and his marriage to Lenora "Lenny" Bailey. He successfully completed rehabilitation and began touring again with Double Trouble in November 1986. His fourth and final studio álbum In Step reached number 33 in the United States in 1989; it was one of Vaughan's most critically and commercially successful releases and included his only number-one hit "Crossfire". He became one of the world's most highly demanded blues performers, and he headlined Madison Square Garden in 1989 and the Beale Street Music Festival in 1990.
         On August 27, 1990, Vaughan and four others were killed in a helicopter crash in East Troy, Wisconsin, after performing with Double Trouble at Alpine Valley Music Theatre. An investigation concluded that the cause was pilot error and Vaughan's family later filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Omniflight Helicopters, which was settled out of court. Vaughan's music continued to achieve commercial success with several posthumous releases and has sold over 15 million albums in the United States alone. In 2003, David Fricke of Rolling Stone ranked him the seventh greatest guitarist of all time. Vaughan was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015, along with Double Trouble bandmates Chris Layton, Tommy Shannon, and Reese Wynans.
          In Step is the fourth studio album by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble released in 1989. The title In Step can be seen as referring to Vaughan's new-found sobriety, following the years of drug and alcohol use that eventually led Vaughan into rehabilitation. It was also Vaughan's final album with Double Trouble, and also Vaughan's last album to be released during his lifetime. In 1990, he recorded a collaboration album with his brother, Jimmie Vaughan, called Family Style; later that year, Stevie Ray Vaughan died in a helicopter crash.
