John Lee Hooker(August 22, 1912 or 1917–June
21, 2001) was an American bluessinger,
songwriter, and guitarist. The son of a sharecropper, he rose
to prominence performing an electric guitar-style adaptation of Delta blues. Hooker
often incorporated other elements, including talking bluesand early North Mississippi Hill country blues.
He developed his own driving-rhythm boogie style, distinct from the 1930s–1940s
piano-derived boogie-woogie. Hooker
was ranked 35 in Rolling Stone's 2015
list of 100 greatest guitarists.
Some of his best known songs include "Boogie Chillen'"(1948),
"Crawling King
Snake" (1949), "Dimples"(1956),
"Boom Boom"(1962),
and "One Bourbon,
One Scotch, One Beer" (1966). Several of his
later albums, including The Healer(1989),
Mr. Lucky(1991),
Chill Out(1995),
and Don't Look Back(1997),
were album chart successes in the U.S. and UK. The Healer(for the song
"I'm In The Mood") and Chill Out(for the album) both earned him
Grammy wins as well as Don't Look Back, which went on to earn him a
double-Grammy win for Best Traditional Blues Recording and Best Pop
Collaboration with Vocals (with Van Morrison)
No food on my table.
And no shoes to go on my feet.
No food on my table.
And no shoes to go on my feet.
My children cry for mercy.
They got no place to call your own.
Hard times, hard
times.
Hard times seem like a jealous thing.
Hard times, hard
times.
Hard times seem like a jealous thing.
If someone don't help me.
And I just can't be around three months long.
No shoes on my feet.
And no food to go on my table.
Oh no, too sad.
Children crying for bread.

melodramatic performance, also with the repetition of production and lyrical

"Dark Paradise" managed to gain some commercial success in Central

All my friends tell
me I should move on
I'm lying in the ocean, singing your song
Ahh
That's how you sang it
Loving you forever
can't be wrong
Even though you're not here, won't move on
Ahh
That's how we played it
And there's no remedy
for memory, your face is like a melody
It won't leave my head
Your soul is haunting me and telling me that everything is fine
But I wish I was dead
Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
All my friends ask me
why I stay strong
Tell 'em when you find true love, it lives on
Ahh
That's why I stay here
And there's no remedy
for memory, your face is like a melody
It won't leave my head
Your soul is haunting me and telling me that everything is fine
But I wish I was dead
Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
But there's no you, except in my dreams tonight
Oh-oh-oh-oh-hah-hah-hah-hah
I don't want to wake up from this tonight
Oh-oh-oh-oh-hah-hah-hah-hah
I don't want to wake up from this tonight
There's no relief, I see you in my sleep
And everybody's rushing me, but I can feel you touching me
There's no release, I feel you in my dreams
Telling me I'm fine
Every time I close my
eyes, it's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
But there's no you, except in my dreams tonight
Oh-oh-oh-oh-hah-hah-hah-hah
I don't want to wake up from this tonight
Oh-oh-oh-oh-hah-hah-hah-hah
I don't want to wake up from this tonight.

YEAR: 1988
Richard Paul Astley(born 6 February 1966) is
an English singer, songwriter and radio personality, who has been active in
music for several decades. He gained worldwide fame in the 1980s, having
multiple hits including his signature
song"Never Gonna
Give You Up", "Together
Forever" and "Whenever You
Need Somebody", and returned to music
full-time in the 2000s after a 6 year hiatus. Outside his music career, Astley
has occasionally worked as a radio DJ and a podcaster.
Born and raised in Lancashire, Astley
became a musician after leaving school, as the drummer for the soul band FBI.
Three years later, he rose to fame through his association with the production
trio Stock Aitken
Waterman; releasing the 1987 album Whenever You
Need Somebody, which sold 15.2 million copies
worldwide. His debut single "Never Gonna Give You Up" was a number 1
hit single in 25 countries, winning the 1988 Brit Awardfor Best British
Single. His 1988 single "Together
Forever" became his second single to top the US Billboard Hot 100, and was
one of his eight songs to reach the top ten on the UK Singles Chart. The
title track was a Nº 1 single in seven countries, and it reached Nº 3 in the
UK. In 1988, Astley followed-up his debut album with Hold Me In
Your Arms. The lead single "She Wants to
Dance with Me" was Astley's first single
that he wrote himself, and it became a worldwide top 10 hit.
In 1991, Astley left Stock Aitken Waterman
and moved his musical direction away from dance-pop and towards soul, which
he explored on his albums Free(1991)
and Body and Soul(1993).
His 1991 single
"Cry for Help"
was Astley's last single to reach the top 10 in either the US or UK. From 1994
to 2000, Astley retired from music to focus on spending time with his wife and
raising their daughter. He returned to the music industry
in 2000, and released the single "Sleeping"
and the album Keep It Turned Onin 2001. Four years later, Astley released his covers album Portrait.
Astley became an Internet phenomenonin 2007 when the music video for his song "Never Gonna Give You
Up" became integral to the Rickrollingmeme, and his performance career was revitalised by the meme's
popularity. In 2010, Astley released the single "Lights Out"
after touring with Peter Kay. Six
years later, he released his álbum 50to celebrate his 50th birthday, which debuted in the UK at Nº 1. He
released his most recent studio album Beautiful
Lifein 2018, and released his greatest
hits album The Best of
Mein 2019. His most recent albums were
recorded at his home studio in Surrey.
By the time of his brief retirement, Astley
had sold approximately 40 million records worldwide. A year after the
Rickrolling meme began, Astley was voted "Best Act Ever" by Internet
users at the MTV Europe
Music Awards 2008. His song "Never Gonna Give
You Up" reached 1 billion views in July 2021, becoming the fourth 1980s
song to reach this milestone (behind "Billie Jean"
by Michael Jackson, "Take On Me" by
A-haand "Sweet Child
o' Mine" by Guns N' Roses).
"She Wants to Dance with Me" is a
song written and recorded by Rick Astleyin 1988. It is
the lead single from his second studio album, Hold Me in Your Arms. The

reached number 6. Astley kicked off Paula Abdul's
"Straight Up",
and stayed at number one for two weeks in Canada. It was an international
success.
"She
Wants to Dance with Me" was Astley's first self-composed single that he
released. Astley performed the song at the 1989 Grammy Awards, and he
changed the lyrics to:
Now
I know I've been out of touch, and I never meant to wear these clads oh so much
(referencing his big suit look)
—Rick Astleyat the
1989 Grammy Awards.
In 2019, Astley recorded and released a
'Reimagined' version of the song for his album The Best of
Me.
She wants to dance
(Who), she wants to dance with me
Oh, oh, yeah (dance with me)
There's a girl I've been
waiting to see
And I really get the feeling that she likes me
'Cause she said so, but not in so many words
I've got to tell you what I've heard
She don't want no wild
romance
When she's with me she only wants to dance
She wants to dance with me
'Cause I'll hold her so tight next to me
She wants to dance with me
'Cause I'll let her be what she wants to be
Now I know I've been out of
touch
And I never meant to hurt my baby, oh, so much
'Cause I love her and I think she love me
And that's the way it's got to be
When we're together we never
fight
We've got better things to do tonight
She wants to dance with me
'Cause I'll hold her so tight next to me
She wants to dance with me
'Cause I'll let her be what she wants to be
She wants to dance
She wants to dance
She wants to dance with me
'Cause I'll hold her so tight next to me
She wants to dance with me
'Cause I'll let her be what she wants to be
She wants to dance with me
'Cause I'll hold her so tight next to me
She wants to dance with me
'Cause I'll let her be what she wants to be
She wants to dance with me
'Cause I'll hold her so tight next to me
She wants to dance with me
'Cause I'll let her be what she wants to be.
