COMPOSITOR: PEDRO CAETANO & CLAUDIONOR CRUZ

ÁLBUM: EM TEMPO DE ALMIRANTE

GRAVADORA: ODEON

GÊNERO: MARCHA

ANO: 1972

 

          Henrique Foréis Domingues(Rio de Janeiro, 19 de fevereiro de 1908—Rio de Janeiro, 22 de dezembro de 1980) foi um cantor, compositor e radialista brasileiro, também conhecido por Almirante. Seu codinome na Era de Ouro do Rádio era: "a mais alta patente do Rádio".

            Pioneiro da música popular no país, começou sua carreira musical em 1928 no grupo amador "Flor do Tempo" formado por alunos do Colégio Batista, do bairro da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro. Compunham o grupo, além de Almirante (cantor e pandeirista) os violonistas Braguinha(João de Barro), Alvinho e Henrique Brito.

      Em 1929, convidados a gravar um disco na Parlophon (subsidiária da Odeon) admitem mais um violonista, do bairro vizinho de Vila Isabel, um jovem talento chamado Noel Rosa. O grupo então é rebatizado para Bando de Tangarás, nome inspirado numa lenda do litoral paranaense, a "dança dos tangarás" que conta a história de um grupo de pássaros (os tangarás) que se reúne para dançar e cantar alegremente.

      O "bando" se desfez em 1933 mas Almirante continuou sua carreira como cantor, interpretando sambas e músicas de carnaval, muitas de grande sucesso e hoje clássicos da música popular brasileira, como "O Orvalho Vem Caindo" (Noel Rosa/ Kid Pepe), "Yes, Nós Temos Bananas" e "Touradas em Madri" (João de Barro/Alberto Ribeiro), entre outras.

     Autor de uma das mais famosas músicas carnavalescas, "Na Pavuna", possuía enorme biblioteca e discoteca sobre música brasileira.

Eu lhe esperei da meia noite às duas horas

Fumando em desespero e de cronômetro na mão

Cada minuto que o ponteiro assinalava

Mais aumentava o grau da minha justa queimação

 

Quem tem noção do cumprimento do dever

Não faz o papelão que você fez só por prazer

Por outra vez faça o favor de não brincar

Que eu tô nervoso e tenho força e sou capaz de lhe estranhar

 

Para quem gira o sopro falso da mentira tudo o mais é brincadeira

E a verdade é a velha asneira que caiu na decadência

Tudo é dito na carreira sem dar tempo de tocar na consciência

 

Mas eu detesto e francamente não me presto a entreter com palhaçada

Porque eu sou de uma camada mais sincera e mais decente

Você é muito engraçada, mas é lá com sua gente

 

Para quem gira o sopro falso da mentira tudo o mais é brincadeira

E a verdade é a velha asneira que caiu na decadência

Tudo é dito na carreira sem dar tempo de tocar na consciência

 

Mas eu detesto e francamente não me presto a entreter com palhaçada

Porque eu sou de uma camada mais sincera e mais decente

Você é muito engraçada, mas é lá com sua gente.

ROXETTE

SONGWRITER: PER GESSLE

COUNTRY: SWEDEN

ALBUM: LOOK SHARP!

LABEL: EMI STUDIOS

GENRE: POP ROCK

YEAR: 1989

 

            Roxette was a Swedish pop rock duo, consisting of Marie Fredriksson(vocals and keyboards) and Per Gessle (vocals and guitar). Formed in 1986, the duo became an international act in the late 1980s, when they released their breakthrough second álbum Look Sharp! Their third album Joyride, which was released in 1991, became just as successful as its predecessor. Roxette went on to achieve nineteen UK Top 40 hits and several US Hot 100 hits, including four US number-ones with "The Look", "Listen to Your Heart", "It Must Have Been Love", featured on the soundtrack of Pretty Woman, and "Joyride". Their other hits include "Dressed for Success", "Dangerous", and "Fading Like a Flower".

     Before coming together to form the duo, Fredriksson and Gessle were already established artists in Sweden, she having released a number of solo albums and he being the lead singer and songwriter of Gyllene Tider, a band that had three Nº 1 albums. On the advice of the managing director of their record label, the two came together to record "Neverending Love", which became a hit single in Sweden.

           After the release of Don't Bore Us, Get to the Chorus!, a greatest hits record, the duo took a hiatus before returning with the albums Have a Nice Day(1999) and Room Service(2001). They continued to chart in other territories, mainly in Europe, Australia and Latin America, where they earned various Gold and Platinum awards until the beginning of the new millennium. In 2002, the duo took a break from recording and touring when Fredriksson was diagnosed with a brain tumour. Gessle went on to release solo albums and reunited with Gyllene Tider before Roxette took to the stage together again for the first time in eight years, in 2009, during Gessle's European Party Crasher tour. In 2011, they released Charm School, their first studio album in ten years, which was followed by Travelling in 2012. Their final studio album, Good Karma, was released in 2016. Marie Fredriksson died on 9 December 2019, at the age of 61, following a long battle with a brain tumour, and the group was disbanded shortly after Fredriksson's death.

         "Dangerous" is a song by the Swedish pop duo Roxette. Written by Per Gessle, the song was released as the fifth and final single from their second studio album Look Sharp!(1988). Gessle penned it just before Roxette's first tour in 1987. Released in May 1989, it was the group's third top 10 showing on the Billboard Hot 100, spending two weeks at number two in March 1990—kept off the top spot by Janet Jackson's "Escapade". The music video was recorded in the ruins of Borgholm Castle. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, "Dangerous" was released as a double A-side with "Listen to Your Heart".

            The version on the single features a different introduction, omitting the instruments in favour of the duo singing the first line of the chorus.

Oh, just a little bit dangerous

You pack your bag, you take control

You're moving into my heart and into my soul

Get out of my way, get out of my sight

I won't be walking on thin ice to get through the night

 

Hey, where's your work? What's your game?

I know your business but I don't know your name

 

Hold on tight, you know she's a little bit dangerous

She's got what it takes to make ends meet

The eyes of a lover that hit like heat

You know she's a little bit dangerous

 

You turn around, so hot and dry

You're hiding under a halo, your mouth is alive

Get out of my way, get out of my sight

I'm not attracted to go-, go deeper tonight

 

Hey, what's your word? What's your game?

I know your business but I don't know your name

 

Hold on tight, you know she's a little bit dangerous

She's got what it takes to make ends meet

The eyes of a lover that hit like heat

You know she's a little bit dangerous

Oh, just a little bit dangerous

 

Hey, hey, hey, where's your work? What's your game?

I know your business but I don't know your name

 

Hold on tight, you know she's a little bit dangerous

She's got what it takes to make ends meet

The eyes of a lover that hit like heat

You know she's a little bit dangerous

 

She's armed and she's extremely dangerous

She's got what it takes to make ends meet

The eyes of a lover that hit like heat

You know she's a little bit dangerous

Oh, just a little bit dangerous

 

Sa!

Hey, where's your work? What's your game?

I don't know your name

Hey you, oh, just a little bit dangerous

I don't know your name (dangerous)

Due to the exceptional weakness of this song, play loud!

She's ready to shoot
She'll weigh her best shot
She's ready to shoot
Her neck feels hot
She wants it to be a one-hit
She wants that a lot
 
She'll put a reason in her mind
It's the only thing she'll hear
She'll put a reason in her mind
It's the only thing she'll hear
Build out of faith
To wash away the fear
 
The sweet, glazed glance
Of total madness in her eyes
The sweet, glazed glance
Of total madness in her own minds eye
It's like she's guarding some remote outpost
Of her sacred little empire in the sky
 
Ripping the seams off of acceptable human behavior
My baby's got a gun, she's going to use it for her savior
 
And in the main time my faith has left me
High up in the rafters
And in the main time my faith has left me
High up in the rafters
If there's no mercy in this land
Why would it be there in the ever after?

ALBUM: IN DREAMS

LABEL: LONDON RECORDS

GENRE: BALLAD

YEAR: 1963

 

       Roy Kelton Orbison(April 23, 1936– December 6, 1988) was an American singer, songwriter, and musician known for his impassioned singing style, complex song structures, and dark, emotional ballads. His music was described by critics as operatic, earning him the nicknames "the Caruso of Rock" and "the Big O." Many of Orbison's songs conveyed vulnerability at a time when most male rock-and-roll performers chose to project defiant masculinity. He performed while standing motionless and wearing black clothes to match his dyed black hair and dark sunglasses, which he wore to counter his shyness and stage fright.

    Born in Texas, Orbison began singing in a rockabilly and country-and-western band as a teenager. He was signed by Sam Phillips of Sun Records in 1956, but enjoyed his greatest success with Monument Records. From 1960 to 1966, 22 of Orbison's singles reached the Billboard Top 40. He wrote or co-wrote almost all of his own Top 10 hits, including "Only the Lonely" (1960), "Running Scared" (1961), "Crying" (1961), "In Dreams" (1963), and "Oh, Pretty Woman" (1964).

             After the mid-1960s, Orbison suffered a number of personal tragedies and his career faltered. He experienced a resurgence in popularity in the 1980s following the success of several cover versions of his songs. In 1988, he co-founded the Traveling Wilburys (a rock supergroup) with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynne. Orbison died of a heart attack in December 1988 at age 52. One month later, his song "You Got It" (1989) was released as a solo single, becoming his first hit to reach the US & UK Top 10 in nearly 25 years.

         Orbison's honors include inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1987, the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1989, and the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2014. He received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and five other Grammy Awards. Rolling Stone placed him at number 37 on its list of the "Greatest Artists of All Time" and number 13 on its list of the "100 Greatest Singers of All Time". In 2002, Billboard magazine listed him at number 74 on its list of the Top 600 recording artists.

Oh blue angel, don't you cry just because he said goodbye

Oh, ahh ahh ahh no-oo don't cry

Oh blue angel, have no fear brush away lonely teardrops

Hey hey, whoa whoa, oo (yeh yeh, dum wah wah wah wah)

Well, love's precious flame can just burn in vain

But you're not to blame

You thought love was a game, oh such a shame

But don't you cry, don't sigh

I'll tell you why, I'll never say goodbye--blue angel

(Sha la la, dooby wah, dum dum dum, yeh yeh, um wah wah wah wah)

We'll have lovin' so fine, magic moments divine

If you'll just say you're mine I'll love you till the end of ti-i-ime

Don't you worry your pretty head

I'll always be arou-ou-ou-ou-ound, blue angel

(Sha la la, dooby wah, dum dum dum, yeh yeh, um)

Blu-ue an-an-gel (sha la la)
