Chris Montez (born Ezekiel Christopher
Montañez on January 17, 1943) is an American guitarist and vocalist, whose
stylistic approach has ranged from rock & rollto pop standardsand Latin music.
His rock sound is exemplified in songs such as his 1962 hit "Let's Dance",
which reached Nº 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.
When his early
music's popularity began to fade, he switched to a more traditional role as a
popular singer of soft ballads, scoring hits with “The More I See You” and “Call Me" in 1966. He has also
recorded in Latin styles. Over the intervening years, he has continued to work
in all three modes.

The stomp and the
bird and wautusi too
I tell you there ain't a dance she doesn't know how to do
My baby loves to
dance
But just with me
She shakes and shakes that thing
It's quite a sight to see
My baby loves to
dance
She goes like this
Then shimmy's up so close
And thrills me with her kiss
The stomp and the
bird and wautusi too
I tell you there ain't a dance she doesn't know how to do
My baby loves to
dance
A lot like you
So come on, come on and dance
And show 'em what you can do
Come on, come on, come on and dance
The stomp and the
bird and wautusi too
I tell you there ain't a dance she doesn't know how to do
My baby loves to
dance
But just with me
She shakes and shakes that thing
It's quite a sight to see
My baby loves to
dance
It looks so fine
So baby you better come on
And shake it one more time
The stomp and the
bird and wautusi too
I tell you there ain't a dance she doesn't know how to do
My baby loves to dance.

narrative songs about working class American life. During a career that has
spanned five decades, Springsteen has become known for his poetic, socially
conscious lyrics and energetic stage performances, sometimes lasting up to four
hours in length. He

which topped the US Billboard 200chart. His first album without the E Street Band was Nebraska(1982). Born in the U.S.A.(1984),
which reunited Springsteen with the E Street Band, became his most commercially
successful album and one of the best-selling
albums of all time. Seven of its singles reached
the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100,
including the well-known title track.
Springsteen recorded his next three albums, Tunnel of
Love(1987), Human Touch(1992),
and Lucky Town(1992)
using mostly session musicians. He re-assembled the E Street Band for 1995's Greatest Hitsand The Ghost of
Tom Joad. His last release of the 1990s was the EP Blood
Brothers(1996).
Springsteen dedicated his 2002 album The Risingto the victims of the September 11
attacks. Springsteen released two more folk albums, Devils & Dust(2005)
and We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions(2006),
followed by two more albums with the E Street Band: Magic(2007)
and Working on a Dream(2009).
His next two albums, Wrecking Ball(2012)
and High Hopes(2014),
topped album charts worldwide. His latest releases include the solo Western Stars(2019) and E Street Band-featuring Letter to You(2020).
Among the album era's
prominent acts, Springsteen has sold more than 150 million records worldwide
and more than 64 million albums in the United States, making him one of the world's
best-selling music artists. He has earned numerous
awards for his work, including 20 Grammy Awards,
two Golden Globes, an Academy Award, and a Special Tony Award(for Springsteen
on Broadway). Springsteen was inducted into

River" was nominated for Best Rock Vocal Performanceat the 1982 Grammy

I come from down in
the valley
Where, mister, when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
When she was just seventeen
We drive out of this valley
Down to where the fields were green
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh, down to the river we'd ride
Then I got Mary
pregnant
And man, that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday
I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
And the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle
No flowers, no wedding dress
That night we went
down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh, down to the river we did ride
Yeah, yeah
I got a job working
construction
For the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been much work
On account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care
But I remember us
riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet, down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
That sends me down to the river
Though I know the river is dry
That sends me down to the river tonight
Down to the river
My baby and I
Oh, down to the river we ride-ide
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh!

Please die Ana
For as long as you're here we're not
You make the sound of laughter
And sharpened nails seem softer
And I need you now
somehow
And I need you now somehow
Open fire on the
needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you
Imagine pageant
In my head the flesh seems thicker
Sandpaper tears corrode the film
And I need you now
somehow
And I need you now somehow
Open fire on the
needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you
And your my obsession
I love you to the bones
And Ana wrecks your life
Like an anorexia life
Open fire on the need
designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you
Open fire on my needs designed
Oh, and open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you.
LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW!

Harry Lillis "Bing" Crosby Jr.(May
3, 1903–October 14, 1977) was an American singer and actor. The first
multimedia star, he was one of the most popular and influential musical artists
of the 20th century worldwide. He was a leader in record sales, radio ratings,
and motion picture grosses from 1926 to 1977. He made over 70 feature films and recorded more
than 1,600 songs.
His early career coincided with recording
innovations that allowed him to develop an intimate singing style that
influenced many male singers who followed, such as Perry Como, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Dick Haymes, Elvis Presley, and John Lennon.
Yankmagazine said that he was "the person who had done the most for
the morale of overseas servicemen" during World War II. In 1948, American
polls declared him the "most admired man alive", ahead of Jackie Robinsonand Pope Pius XII.:6 In 1948, Music Digest estimated that his recordings
filled more than half of the 80,000 weekly hours allocated to recorded radio
music.
Crosby won the Academy Award
for Best Actorfor his performance in Going My Way(1944)
and was nominated for its sequel, The Bells of
St. Mary's(1945), opposite Ingrid Bergman,
becoming the first of six actors to be nominated twice for playing the same
character. In 1963, Crosby received the first Grammy Global Achievement Award.
He is one of 33 people to have three stars on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame, in the categories of motion
pictures, radio, and audio recording. He was also known for his collaborations
with his friend Bob Hope,
starring in the Road to...films
from 1940 to 1962.
Crosby influenced the development of the post
World War Two recording industry.
After seeing a demonstration of a German broadcast quality reel-to-reel
tape recorderbrought to America by John T. Mullin, he
invested $50,000 in California electronics company Ampexto build
copies. He
then persuaded ABC to allow him to tape his shows. He became
the first performer to prerecord his radio shows and master his commercial
recordings onto magnetic tape.
Through the medium of recording, he
constructed his radio programs with the same directorial tools and
craftsmanship (editing, retaking, rehearsal, time shifting) used in
motion picture production, a practice that became industry standard. In
addition to his work with early audio tape recording, he helped finance the
development of videotape, bought television stations, bred racehorses, and
co-owned the Pittsburgh
Piratesbaseball team, during which time the
team won two World Series(1960 and
1971).
