          Tonia released her first single, "Mon p'tit copain de vacances", in 1963, and went on to release numerous further singles. She would often record both Dutch and French cover versions of popular German songs.
       In the 1966 Belgian Eurovision selection, Tonia performed four songs and the winner, "Un peu de poivre, un peu de sel" ("A Little Pepper, A Little Salt"), was chosen by postcard voting as the representative for the 11th Eurovision Song Contest, which took place on 5 March in Luxembourg City. "Un peu de poivre, un peu de sel" finished in fourth place of 18 entries, Belgium's highest placing in Eurovision to that date, which would not be bettered until 1978. In 1968, Tonia again participated in the Belgian selection with the song "Il y avait", but failed to place in the top two.
         In 1973, Tonia took part in the German Eurovision national final with two songs, and narrowly missed out on a second Eurovision appearance when her song '"Sebastian" finished in second place, just one point behind the winning song "Junger Tag" by Gitte Hænning. Tonia's other song, "Mir gefällt diese Welt", came seventh.
La la la la lalala lalala la la la la lalalala
La la la la lalala lalala la la la la lalalala

Erst wenn sich Mond und Sterne dreh'n
Dann ist für mich das Leben schön
Und darum sage ich zu Dir:
Fahr mit mir, fahr mit mir, fahr mit mir, fahr mit mir

Das Karussell, Karussell, Karussell
Fährt heut' ins große Glück hinein
Denn Mademoiselle, Mademoiselle, Mademoiselle
Fährt heute abend nicht allein
Mit Mademoiselle, Mademoiselle, Mademoiselle
Fährt heut' ein netter junger Mann
Das Karussell, Karussell, Karussell
Hält dort im 7. Himmel an

La la la la lalala lalala la la la la lalalala
La la la la lalala lalala la la la la lalalala

Die anderen Leute geh'n nach Haus'
Doch wir, wir steigen noch nicht aus
Drum sei so freundlich und bezahl
Noch einmal, noch einmal, noch einmal, noch einmal

Das Karussell, Karussell, Karussell
Fährt heut' ins große Glück hinein

IT'S A HARD LIFE

ROGER DALTREY
SONGWRITERS: DAVID COURTNEY & LEO SAYER
COUNTRY: U. K.
ALBUM: DALTREY
LABEL: MCA RECORDS
GENRE: ROCK
YEAR: 1973
 
        Roger Harry Daltrey(born 1 March 1944) is an English singer, songwriter, actor and film producer. He is a co-founder and the lead singer of the rock band the Who.
       Daltrey's hit songs with the Who include "My Generation", "Pinball Wizard", "Won't Get Fooled Again", "Baba O'Riley" and "You Better You Bet". He began his solo career in 1973, while still a member of the Who. Since then he has released ten solo studio albums, five compilation albums, and one live album. His solo hits include "Giving It All Away", "Walking the Dog", "Written on the Wind", "Free Me", "Without Your Love" and "Under a Raging Moon".
     The Who are considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century and have sold over 100 million records worldwide. As a member of the band, Daltrey received a Lifetime achievement award from the British Phonographic Industry in 1988, and from the Grammy Foundation in 2001. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005. He and Pete Townshend received Kennedy Center Honors in 2008 and George and Ira Gershwin Award for Lifetime Musical Achievement at UCLA on 21 May 2016. Daltrey has also been an actor and film producer, with roles in films, theatre, and television. Planet Rock listeners voted him rock's fifth-greatest voice in 2009, and he was ranked number 61 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 greatest singers of all time in 2010.
       Daltrey is the debut solo studio album by English singer-songwriter Roger Daltrey, the lead vocalist of The Who. It was released on 20 April 1973 by Track Records in the United Kingdom and MCA Records in the United States. Daltrey was the third member of the group to make a solo album. The bulk of the record (ten of the twelve songs) was written by David Courtney and Leo Sayer. It took six weeks to record during January and February 1973. Sessions took place at Daltrey's Barn Studio, Burwash, East Sussex, where the backing tracks were laid down; vocals, overdubs, and mixing was completed at the Beatles' Apple Studios at 3 Savile Row (the vocals for "One Man Band(reprise)" were recorded on the Apple rooftop, where the Beatles had performed their famous final concert in January 1969), and at Nova Sound Studios.
        The album was recorded during a hiatus in the Who's touring schedule. The first single released from the album, "Giving It All Away", reached number five in the UK and the album made the Top 50 in the United States. He also released a single in 1973, "Thinking"; its B-side, "There is Love", features Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin on guitar. Bizarrely, the British release, with considerable airplay of "Giving it All Away" (first lines "I paid all my dues so I picked up my shoes, I got up and walked away") coincided with news reports of the Who being sued for unpaid damage to their hotel on a recent tour, including a TV set being thrown out of the window.
          David Courtney and former British pop teen idol Adam Faith co-produced the album.
It's A hard life
When you feel down
And nobody understands you
They leave you hanging around
You waste all your days
Miss all your nights
Sit round just dreaming
You can do nothing right
 
It's a hard life
When your alone
Cramped in your lonely little room
Under dressed like a bone
You Walk in the streets
And people are so blind
Won't give you there penny
They just don't have the time
 
Ooooh It's a hard life
Up on the road
You better check it well first
Before you meet all the blows
For you won't like the walkin'
You'll get caught in the rain
But the steep on the highway
Lord you wish you never came.

VIVRE POUR LE MEILLEUR

JOHNNY HALLYDAY
COMPOSITEURES: DAVID HALLYDAY & LIONEL JACQUES FLORENCE
PAYS: FRANCE
ALBUM: VIVRE POUR LE MEILLEUR
RECORD: UNIVERSAL MUSIC
GENRE: ROCK
ANNÉE: 2000
 
     Johnny Hallyday, de son vrai nom Jean-Philippe Smet, est un chanteur, compositeur et acteur français, né le 15 juin 1943 à Paris 9e arr. et mort le 5 décembre 2017 à Marnes-la-Coquette(Hauts-de-Seine).
      Durant ses 57 ans de carrière, il s'impose comme l'un des plus célèbres chanteurs francophones et l'une des personnalités les plus présentes dans le paysage médiatique français.
    S'il n'est pas le premier à chanter du rock en France, il est, à partir de 1960, le premier à y populariser le genre. Bien qu'il ait interprété de nombreuses ballades sentimentales et des airs country au cours de sa carrière, le rock reste sa principale référence au travers de ses différents courants, puisant tous leurs origines dans le blues: rock 'n' roll, rhythm and blues, soul, rock psychédélique, soft rock ou encore pop rock.
        Vivre pour le meilleur est une chanson de Johnny Hallyday sortie en single le 26 mai 1999 chez Mercury Records. Écrite par Lionel Florence et David Hallyday, Vivre pour le meilleur précède de plusieurs mois la diffusion du 42e album studio de Johnny Hallyday Sang pour sang, dont elle est le premier extrait et succès.

 Des gens qui cherchent la lumière
En pleine nuit
Des gens qui courent après l'amour
Et qui le fuient
 
Des bras qui se lèvent pour un Dieu
Qu'ils ne voient pas
Moi, j'ai ta chair contre ma chair
En ça je crois
 
Vivre pour le meilleur
Debout pour tout se donner
Plus riche de ne rien garder
Que l'amour
 
Des hommes qui n'ont que l'illusion
D'attendre un signe
Des femmes qui pleurent leurs enfants
Et restent dignes
 
Toi, tu me rends plus fort chaque jour
Sans Dieux ni loi
Et quand nos corps se font l'amour
Je sais pourquoi
 
Vivre pour le meilleur
Debout pour tout se donner
Plus riche de ne rien garder
Que l'amour
 
Oui, vivre pour vivre libre
Aimer tout ce qu'on peut aimer
Encore et toujours ne vouloir
Que l'amour, que l'amour
 
Vivre pour le meilleur
Debout pour tout se donner
Plus riche de ne rien garder
Que l'amour, que l'amour
 
Oui, vivre pour vivre libre
Aimer tout ce qu'on peut aimer
Encore et toujours ne vouloir
Que l'amour, que l'amour.
