Joanna, nome artístico de Maria de Fátima Gomes Nogueira(Rio de Janeiro, 27 de janeiro de 1957), é uma cantora, compositora e multi-instrumentistabrasileira. Como compositora, assinou dezenas de canções,
algumas gravadas por grandes nomes como Cauby Peixoto, Angela Maria, Simone e
Emílio Santiago.
Nascida e criada no bairro do Méier, no subúrbio carioca, é filha
do violonista Joaquim, e da dona de casa Marietta, que
também gostava de cantar em reuniões familiares. Desde a infância escrevia
canções e poemas. Aos doze anos ganhou de presente um violão do pai, e foi
matriculada numa escola de instrumentos musicais. Seu irmão a incentivava a
compor e cantar, e mesmo sem ser profissional, se interessava por música e a
ensinou os primeiros acordes de violão. Sua irmã preferiu seguir o caminho
educacional e tornou-se professora. Em entrevistas revela que na infância
gostava de brincar na rua, jogar bola, soltar pipa e rodar pião. Cursando o
terceiro ano de administração, resolveu deixar os estudos universitários para
se dedicar somente a música.
Sua carreira teve início com a
participação em festivais do interior do estado: ela pesquisava por lugares
onde haveria concursos de música, e viajava sozinha para participar das
competições musicais. Algumas ganhou, outras perdeu, mas sempre colecionava troféus
musicais. Atuou também como backing vocal de conjuntos de bailes e casas
noturnas, estreando na noite carioca ainda sem ser famosa.
Felicidade foi se
embora
E a saudade no meu
peito
Ainda mora
E é por isso que eu
gosto lá de fora
Porque sei que a
falsidade
Não vigora
A minha casa
Fica lá detrás do
mundo
Onde eu vou em um
segundo
Quando começo a
pensar
O pensamento
Parece uma coisa à
toa
Mas como é que a
gente voa
Quando começa a
pensar
Felicidade foi-se
embora
E a saudade no meu
peito
Ainda mora
E é por isso que eu
gosto lá de fora
Porque sei que a
falsidade
Não vigora.

Hubert Charles Sumlin(November 16, 1931–December
4, 2011) was a Chicago bluesguitarist and singer, best known for his "wrenched, shattering
bursts of notes, sudden cliff-hanger silences and daring rhythmic
suspensions" as a member of Howlin' Wolf's
band. He was ranked number 43 in Rolling Stone's
"100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time"
Sumlin was born in Greenwood,
Mississippi, and raised in Hughes, Arkansas. He got
his first guitar when he was eight years old. As a boy, he met Howlin' Wolf by
sneaking into a performance.
Wolf relocated from Memphis to Chicago in
1953, but his longtime guitarist Willie
Johnsonchose not to join him. In Chicago,
Wolf hired the guitarist Jody Williams,
but in 1954 he invited Sumlin to move to Chicago to play second guitar in his
band. Williams left the band in 1955, leaving Sumlin as the primary guitarist,
a position he held almost continuously (except for a brief spell playing with Muddy Watersaround
1956) for the remainder of Wolf's career. According to Sumlin, Howlin' Wolf
sent him to a classical guitar instructor at the Chicago Conservatory of Musicto learn keyboardsand scales. Sumlin
played on the album Howlin' Wolf(called
the "rocking chair album", with reference to its cover illustration),
which was named the third greatest guitar album of all time by Mojomagazine in
2004
Upon
Wolf's death in 1976, Sumlin continued playing with several other members of
Wolf's band, as the Wolf Gang, until about 1980. He also recorded under his own
name, beginning with a session from a tour of Europe with Wolf in 1964. His
last solo album was About Them Shoes, released in 2004 by Tone-Cool Records. He underwent lung removal surgery
the same year, but he continued performing until just before his death. His
final recording, just days before his death, was tracks for an album by Stephen Dale Petit,
Cracking The Code(333
Records).
Sumlin was inducted into the Blues FoundationHall of Fame in 2008. He was nominated for four Grammy Awards: in 1999
for the album Tribute to Howlin' Wolf, with Henry Gray, Calvin Jones, Sam Lay,
and Colin Linden; in 2000 for Legends, with Pinetop Perkins;
in 2006, for his solo project About Them Shoes which features performances by Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Levon Helm, David Johansenand James Cotton) and in
2010 for his contribution to Kenny Wayne
Shepherd's Live! in Chicago.
He won multiple Blues Music Awards. He was
a judge for the fifth annual Independent Music Awards, given to support the
careers of independent artists.
Sumlin lived in Totowa, New Jerseyfor 10 years before his death. He died of heart failureon December 4, 2011, at the age of 80, in a hospital in Wayne, New Jersey. Mick Jaggerand Keith Richardspaid Sumlin's funeral expenses.

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.

sixth and final single from Born to Die.
The

melodramatic performance, also with the repetition of production and lyrical
content. However, many believed the attraction of the criticism proved it as a
highlight. Noticeably less successful than other singles from the album,
"Dark Paradise" managed to gain some commercial success in Central
Europe, becoming a top five hit on Polish airplay. It was
also featured in an episode of The Originals,
a spin-off of The Vampire
Diaries.
The
song was recorded by psychobilly band Tiger Army, released in 2018 on the EP of
the same name.
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
