Compliment what she
does
Send her roses just because
If it's violins she loves
Let them play
Dedicate her favourite song
And hold her closer all night long
Love her today
Find one hundred ways
Don't forget, there
could be
An old lover in her memory
If you need her so much more
Why don't you say?
Maybe she has it in her mind
That she's just wasting her time
Ask her to stay
Find one hundred ways
Being cool won't help
you keep a love warm
You'll just blow your only chance
Take the time to open up your heart
That's the secret of romance
Sacrifice if you care
Buy her some moonlight to wear
If it's one more star she wants
Go all the way
In your arms tonight, she'll reflect
That she owes you the sweetest of debts
If she wants to pay
Find one hundred ways
In your arms tonight,
she'll reflect
That she owes you the sweetest of debts
If she wants to pay
Find one hundred ways
Love her today
Find one hundred ways.

Kenneth Ray Rogers(August 21, 1938– March 20,
2020) was an American singer, songwriter, musician, actor, record producer, and
entrepreneur. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Famein 2013. Rogers was particularly popular with country audiences but
also charted more than 420 hit singles across various genres, topping the
country and pop album charts for more than 200 individual weeks in the United
States alone. He sold more than 100 million records worldwide during his
lifetime, making him one of the best-selling
music artists of all time. His fame and career
spanned multiple genres: jazz, folk, pop, rock, and country. He remade his
career and was one of the most successful cross-over artists of all time.
In
the late 1950s, Rogers began his recording career with the Houston-based group
the Scholars, who first released "The Poor Little Doggie". After
some solo releases, including 1958's "That Crazy Feeling",
Rogers then joined a group with the jazzsinger Bobby Doyle.
In 1966, he became a member of the folkensemble the New
Christy Minstrels, playing double bassand bass guitaras well
as singing. In 1967, he and several members of the New Christy Minstrels left
to found the group the First
Edition, with whom he scored his first major hit,
"Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition
Was In)", a psychedelic rocksong which peaked at number five on the Billboardcharts. As Rogers took an increased leadership role in the First
Edition following the success of 1969's "Ruby, Don't
Take Your Love to Town", the band gradually
changed styles to a more countryfeel. The band
broke up in 1975–76, and Rogers embarked on a long and successful solo career,
which included several successful collaborations, including duets with singers Dottie West, Dolly Parton, and Sheena Eastonand a songwriting partnership with Lionel Richie. His
signature song, 1978's "The Gambler",
was a crossover hit that won him a Grammy Awardin 1980 and was selected in 2018 for preservation in the National
Recording Registryby the Library of
Congress. He developed the Gambler persona into a
character for a successful
seriesof television filmsstarting with 1980's Emmy-nominated
Kenny Rogers
as The Gambler.(…)
Ten Years of Gold is the fourth studio album
by Kenny Rogersissued
in 1978.
As his fourth solo album, Ten Years of Gold is
a collection of ten songs spanning the last decade. The album features solo
re-recordings of hits Kenny had with The First
Edition. These new versions were recorded at Jack Clement
Recording Studio "B" using Kenny Rogers' road band
"Bloodline" (listed below). Side 1 of the LP contained the all
re-recordings. Though Kenny had already scored three other solo hits,
"Lucille", "Daytime Friends", "While The Feeling's
Good" and "Love Lifted Me" are all that represent his recent
work. The last track is the First Edition's original hit
recording of "Today I Started Loving You Again", which was featured
on the First Edition's 1972 album Back Roads; Kenny still had the rights on
this song, therefore this version is present. Oddly the First Edition are not credited on the
album jacket, even individually.
There
were two different versions of the cover art. One had Kenny's name in white
next to the title and a mock pasted photo on the back. On the second pressing
the photo is retouched to look like it is in a gold frame.
You've painted up
your lips
Rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby, are you
contemplating
Going out somewhere?
The shadow on the wall
Tells me the sun is going down
Oh, Ruby
Don't take your love to town
It wasn't me
That started that old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go
And do my patriotic chore
And yes, it's true that
I'm not the man I used to be
Oh, Ruby, I still need some company
It's hard to love a
man
Whose legs are bent and paralyzed
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age
Ruby, I realized
But it won't be long
I've heard them say until I'm not around
Oh, Ruby
Don't take your love to town
She's leaving now
'cause
I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it slam 100 times before
And if I could move I'd get my gun
And put her in the ground
Oh, Ruby
Don't take your love to town
Oh, Ruby, for God's sake, turn around.

an American musician, singer, songwriter, and actor whose career has spanned
six decades. He is
one of the most acclaimed songwriters in popular music.
Simon was born in Newark, New Jersey,
and grew up in the borough of Queensin New
York City. He began performing with his schoolfriend Art Garfunkelin 1956 when they were still in their early teens. After limited
success, the pair reunited after an electrified version of their song "The Sound of
Silence" became a hit in 1966. Simon &
Garfunkelrecorded five albums together
featuring songs mostly written by Simon, including the hits "Mrs. Robinson",
"America",
"Bridge over
Troubled Water", and "The Boxer".
After Simon & Garfunkel split in 1970,
Simon recorded three acclaimed albums over the following five years, all of
which charted in the top 5 on the Billboard 200.
His 1972 self-titled albumcontained the hit songs "Mother and
Child Reunion" and "Me and Julio
Down by the Schoolyard". The 1975 album Still Crazy
After All These Years, which featured guest vocals
from Garfunkel, was his first number-one solo album, and featured the number 1
hit single "50 Ways to
Leave Your Lover", among other top-40 songs
such as "Still Crazy After All These Years",
"Gone at Last",
and "My Little Town".
Simon reunited with Garfunkel for a
performance in New York
Central Parkin 1981, drawing half a million
spectators, followed by a world tour with Garfunkel. After a career slump,
Simon released Graceland, an
album inspired by South African township music,
which sold 14 million copies worldwide and remains his most popular and
acclaimed solo work. A number of hit singles were released from the album,
including "You Can Call Me Al",
"The Boy in
the Bubble", and "Diamonds on
the Soles of Her Shoes". It won the Grammy Award
for Album of the Yearin 1987.
Simon continued to tour throughout the 1990s,
wrote a Broadway musical, The Capeman, and
recorded a companion album, Songs from
The Capemanwhich was released in 1997. His 2000
album You're the
Onewas nominated again for Album of the
Year honors. He followed that album up with several years of touring, including
another reunion tour with Garfunkel, and released Surprise,
his last album of the decade, in 2006. In 2016 he released Stranger to Stranger, which
debuted at number 3 on the Billboard Album Chartand number 1 the UK Albums Chart,
and marked his greatest commercial and critical success in thirty years. His
most recent album is 2018's In the Blue Light,
which contains re-arrangements of lesser-known songs from his prior albums.
Simon has earned sixteen Grammy Awardsfor his solo and collaborative work, including three for Album of
the Year (Bridge Over Troubled Water, Still Crazy After All These Years, and Graceland),
and a Lifetime Achievement Award. He is a two-time inductee into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame: first in 1990 as a member of
Simon & Garfunkel and again in 2001 for his solo career. In 2006 he was
selected as one of the "100 People Who Shaped the World" by Time. In
2011, Rolling Stonenamed Simon one of the 100 greatest guitarists, and in 2015 he was
ranked eighth in their list of the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time.
Simon was the first recipient of the Library of
Congress's Gershwin Prize for Popular Songin 2007.
Graceland is the seventh solo studio album by
American singer-songwriter Paul Simon. It was
produced by Simon, engineered by Roy Haleeand released on August 25, 1986, by Warner Bros. Records.
In the early 1980s, Simon's relationship with
his former musical partner Art Garfunkelhad deteriorated, his marriage to actress Carrie Fisherhad collapsed, and his previous record, Hearts and Bones(1983),
had been a commercial failure. In 1984, after a period of depression, Simon
became fascinated by a bootleg cassetteof mbaqanga, South
African street music. He and Halee visited Johannesburg,
where they spent two weeks recording with South African musicians. Further
recordings were held in the United States, with guest musicians including Linda Ronstadt, the Everly
Brothers, Louisiana band Good Rockin' Dopsie and the Twisters,
and Mexican-American band Los Lobos.
Graceland features an eclectic mixture of
genres, including pop, rock, a cappella, zydeco, isicathamiyaand mbaqanga.
Simon wrote
songs inspired by the recordings made in Johannesburg, collaborating with
African and American artists. He received criticism for
breaking the cultural boycottof South Africa because of its policy of apartheid.
Following its completion, Simon toured alongside South African musicians,
performing their music and songs from Graceland.
Graceland became Simon's most successful
studio album and his highest-charting album in over a decade; it is estimated
to have sold up to 16 million copies worldwide. It was lauded by critics, won
the 1987 Grammyfor Album of the
Year, and is frequently cited as one of the best
albums of all time. In 2006, it was added to the United States' National
Recording Registryas "culturally,
historically, or aesthetically important".

ALBUM: MY
CHERIE AMOUR
LABEL: TAMLA RECORDS
GENRE: SOUL
MUSIC
YEAR: 1969
Stevland Hardaway Morris(born May 13, 1950),
known professionally as Stevie Wonder, is an American singer, songwriter,
musician and record producer. Wonder is credited as a pioneer and influence by
musicians across a range of genres that includes rhythm and blues, pop, soul, gospel, funk, and jazz. A virtual one-man band, his use
of synthesizersand
other electronic
musical instrumentsduring the 1970s reshaped
the conventions of R&B.
He also helped drive the genre into the album era,
crafting his LPsas cohesive,
consistent socially conscious statements with complex compositions.
Blindsince shortly
after his birth, Wonder was a child prodigywho signed with Motown's
Tamlalabel at the
age of 11, where he was given the professional name Little Stevie Wonder. In
1963, the single "Fingertips"
was a number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100when Wonder was 13, making him the youngest artist everto top the chart. Wonder's critical success was at its peak in the 1970s. His
"classic period" began in 1972 with the releases of Music of My Mindand Talking Book, the
latter featuring "Superstition",
which is one of the most distinctive and famous examples of the sound of the Hohner Clavinetkeyboard.
His works Innervisions(1973), Fulfillingness'
First Finale(1974) and Songs in the
Key of Life(1976) all won the Grammy Award
for Album of the Year, making him the tied-record
holder for the most Album of the
Year wins, with three. He is also the only artist to have won the award
with three consecutive album releases.
His "classic period", which
culminated in 1976, was marked by his funky keyboard style, personal control of
production, and use of integrated series of songs to make concept albums. In
1979, Wonder used Computer Music Inc.'s early music sampler, the Melodian,
on his soundtrack album Stevie Wonder's Journey Through "The Secret Life
of Plants". This was his first digital recordingand one of the earliest popular albums to use the technology, which
Wonder used for all subsequent recordings.
Wonder is one of the world's
best-selling musicians, with sales of over 100 million
records worldwide. He has won 25 Grammy Awards(the
most by a solo artist) and one Academy Award(Best Original
Song, for the 1984 film The Woman in
Red). Wonder has been inducted into the Rhythm and
Blues Music Hall of Fame, Rock and Roll
Hall of Fameand Songwriters
Hall of Fame. He is also noted for his work
as an activist for political causes, including his 1980 campaign to make Martin Luther
King Jr.'s birthday a federal
holidayin the U.S. In 2009, he was named a United
Nations Messenger of Peace, and in 2014, he was
honored with the Presidential
Medal of Freedom.
My Cherie Amour is an album by American
singer-songwriter Stevie Wonderreleased on the Tamla (Motown)
label on August 29, 1969, his eleventh studio album. The album yielded a couple
of Top 10 hits in the Billboard Hot 100, including the title track(#4)
and "Yester-Me,
Yester-You, Yesterday" (#7), as well as Wonder's
takes on the 1967 hit "Light My Fire"
by The Doors, "Hello, Young
Lovers" from The King and Iand "The Shadow of
Your Smile" from the 1965 film The Sandpiper. It
