          Marcos Kostenbader Valle (Rio de Janeiro, 14 de setembro de 1943) é um compositor, cantor, instrumentista e arranjador brasileiro.
           Começou a estudar piano clássico aos seis anos de idade e formou-se em piano e teoria musical em 1956. O primeiro sucesso da dupla Marcos e Paulo Sérgio foi Sonho de Maria, gravada pelo Tamba Trio em 1963.
         Marcos começou tocando no trio formado por ele, Edu Lobo e Dori Caymmi. Em 1964, sua canção Samba de Verão atingiu o segundo lugar nas paradas de sucesso estadunidenses, e teve pelo menos 80 versões gravadas nos EUA.
        Escreveu muitos temas para telenovelas, dentre elas Pigmalião 70 e Os Ossos do Barão. Nos anos 70, a TV Globo solicitou aos irmãos Valle e Nelson Motta que fizessem uma canção de natal para o fim do ano, com os atores das telenovelas e artistas da Rede Globo cantando. A canção "Um novo tempo" (a dos versos "Hoje é um novo dia / de um novo tempo / que começou...") tornou-se um sucesso tão grande que nunca mais saiu do ar, sendo presença obrigatória no Natal da Rede Globo até hoje.
         Jet-Samba foi o primeiro disco lançado por um selo brasileiro após dezenove anos, e o primeiro totalmente instrumental em 38 anos, com Valle comandando toda a produção e também assinando os arranjos. Seu último trabalho é o CD e DVD Estática, lançado em 2010.

Numa ilha
Eu quero navegar
Rumo certo pra nenhum lugar
Nem cais
Nem bandeira
 
No meu corpo
Nada além do sol
É um jeito muito sensual
Sem roupa
Sem medo
 
Deixar os pelos
E os cabelos
Dourando
Pra melhor seduzir
Meu amor
 
E sobre a pele
Um bronzeado moreno
Pra guardar o feitiço do sol
Na cor
 
Água clara
Pra gente se banhar
E no corpo o balançar do mar
Mexendo
Tentando
 
Gente ou bicho
Não pode resistir
E a vida é tudo isso aí
Um beijo
Um desejo
 
Fogo do sol
Água do mar
Luz do luar
Eu sou assim
 
Deixar os pelos
E os cabelos
Dourando
Pra melhor seduzir
Meu amor
 
E sobre a pele
Um bronzeado moreno
Pra guardar
O feitiço do sol
 
Água clara
Pra gente se banhar
O balançar do mar
Mexendo
Tentando
 
Gente ou bicho
Não pode resistir
E a vida
É tudo isso aí
Um beijo
Um desejo
 
Fogo do sol
Água do mar
Luz do luar
Eu sou assim.

DANCING IN THE STREET

THE MAMAS & THE PAPAS
SONGWRITERS: WILLIAM STEVENSON & MARVIN GAYE
COUNTRY: U. S. A.
ALBUM: DANCING IN THE STREET
LABEL: RCA VICTOR
GENRE: FOLK ROCK
YEAR: 1966
 
          The Mamas & the Papas were an American folk rock vocal group formed in Los Angeles, California which recorded and performed from 1965 to 1968. The group was a defining force in the music scene of the counterculture of the 1960s. The group was composed of Americans John Phillips, Cass Elliot, and Michelle Phillips and Canadian Denny Doherty. Their sound was based on vocal harmonies arranged by John Phillips, the songwriter, musician, and leader of the group, who adapted folk to the new beat style of the early 1960s.
        The Mamas & the Papas released five studio albums and 17 singles over four years, six of which made the Billboard top 10, and have sold close to 40 million records worldwide. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 for its contributions to the music industry. The band reunited briefly to record the album People Like Us in 1971 but had ceased touring and performing by that time. Some of their most popular singles include "California Dreamin'", "Monday, Monday", and "Creeque Alley".
         “Dancing In The Street” is a song co-written by Marvin Gaye and William Stevenson. Marvin Pentz Gay Jr. was born in Washington D.C. in 1939. He was part of an R&B group that backed Bo Diddley in the mid-50s. He also sang as a session musician on a couple of recordings by Chuck Berry late in the decade. He changed his surname by adding an “e” in 1961. Gaye penned “Beachwood 4-5678” for the Marvelettes, a Top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1962. He became a solo artist with hits that included “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)”, “Ain’t That Peculiar”, “I Heard It Though The Grapevine”, “What’s Going On”, “Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)”, “Let’s Get It On”, “Trouble Man”, “Got To Give It Up” and “Sexual Healing” among his string of Top Ten hits between 1963 and 1982. He died at the age of 44 in 1984, after his father fatally shot him with two bullets.
        William “Mickey” Stevenson was born in Detroit in 1937. In addition to cowriting “Dancing In The Street”, he also wrote “It Takes Two” for Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston, “What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted” for Jimmy Ruffin, “Uptight (Everything’s Alright)” for Stevie Wonder and “Devil With A Blue Dress On”, a hit for Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels. He has spent many decades in management positions in the recording industry. “Dancing In The Street” was a #2 hit for Martha & The Vandellas in 1964 on the Billboard Hot 100. It became a civil rights anthem with the opening line “calling out around the world, are you ready for a brand new beat.”
          “Dancing In The Street” is a song inviting people all around to dance in the streets because “summer’s here and the time is right…” The song also lets people know “it doesn’t matter what you wear.” Societal norms for dress codes are cast aside in this song. This was a matter of counter-culture urgency, where young Americans were now wearing blue jeans, tie-dye t-shirts and rejecting the conservative styles of their parents generation. In the Mamas & the Papas version of “Dancing In The Street” the following cities are listed by name: Chicago, New Orleans, Detroit (“the Motor City”), New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington D.C., Los Angeles (“way down in LA”), Amherst (the name of a town in twelve states and Nova Scotia, Canada, where Denny Doherty was born), Boyle Heights (California), Alexandria and Falls Church (Virginia).

Hello again my fuckin' fair weather friend
I'm right here in your face man
My sweet revenge
I see it in your eyes each day
I think it's time you face the shame
I finally broke my ball and chain
 
I know you've always tried to drag me down
I know that shit you talk
When I'm not around
All your lies only make me see
You're just a slut, my little queen
I want to see you on your knees
 
Don't want to hear your accusation
I've got to change the situation
 
Now I see the writing on the wall
Once and for all
The chain of fools has got to take a fall
Once and for all
 
How does it feel now?
How does it taste?
All your good medicine
Can't heal this disgrace
Fair weather friend, I know your kind
You see no better than the blind
Don't talk to me, don't waste my time
 
Don't want to hear your accusation
Now I've changed situation
 
Now I see the writing on the wall
Once and for all
This chain of fools will take its final fall.

IT'S A MAN'S MAN'S MAN'S WORLD

LABEL: KING RECORDS
GENRE: SOUL
YEAR: 1966
 
          James Joseph Brown (May 3, 1933 – December 25, 2006) was an American singer, songwriter, dancer, musician, record producer, and bandleader. The central progenitor of funk music and a major figure of 20th-century music, he is often referred to by the honorific nicknames "Godfather of Soul", "Mr. Dynamite", and "Soul Brother No. 1". In a career that lasted over 50 years, he influenced the development of several music genres. Brown was one of the first ten inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at its inaugural induction in New York on January 23, 1986.
         Brown began his career as a gospel singer in Toccoa, Georgia. He came to national public attention in the mid-1950s as the lead singer of the Famous Flames, a rhythm and blues vocal group founded by Bobby Byrd. With the hit ballads "Please, Please, Please" and "Try Me", Brown built a reputation as a tireless live performer with the Famous Flames and his backing band, sometimes known as the James Brown Band or the James Brown Orchestra. His success peaked in the 1960s with the live álbum Live at the Apollo and hit singles such as "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag", "I Got You (I Feel Good)" and "It's a Man's Man's Man's World".
     During the late 1960s, Brown moved from a continuum of blues and gospel-based forms and styles to a profoundly "Africanized" approach to music-making, emphasizing stripped-down interlocking rhythms that influenced the development of funk music. By the early 1970s, Brown had fully established the funk sound after the formation of the J.B.s with records such as "Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine" and "The Payback". He also became noted for songs of social commentary, including the 1968 hit "Say It Loud – I'm Black and I'm Proud". Brown continued to perform and record until his death from pneumonia in 2006.
           Brown recorded 17 singles that reached No. 1 on the Billboard R&B charts. He also holds the record for the most singles listed on the Billboard Hot 100 chart that did not reach Nº. 1. Brown was inducted into the first class of the Rhythm & Blues Music Hall of Fame in 2013 as an artist and then in 2017 as a songwriter. He also received honors from several other institutions, including inductions into the Black Music & Entertainment Walk of Fame, and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In Joel Whitburn's analysis of the Billboard R&B charts from 1942 to 2010, Brown is ranked No. 1 in The Top 500 Artists. He is ranked seventh on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
          It's a Man's Man's Man's World is a compilation album by American musician James Brown. It consists of tracks from his period with the King label, as well as the tracks "The Scratch" (previously released in 1961), as well as "It's a Man's Man's Man's World", "Is It Yes or Is It No?", and Ain't That a Groove (Parts 1 and 2), all released on singles in 1966. The album was released in August 1966, by King
This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
You see, man made the cars to take us over the road
Man made the trains to carry heavy loads
Man made electric light to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark
 
This is a man's, a man's, a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
 
Man thinks about a little baby girls and a baby boys
Man makes then happy 'cause man makes them toys
And after man has made everything, everything he can
You know that man makes money to buy from other man
 
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
 
He's lost in the wilderness
He's lost in bitterness.
