      María Antonia Abad Fernández(Campo de Criptana, Ciudad Real, 10 de marzo de 1928-Madrid, 8 de abril de 2013), conocida como Sara Montiel, fue una actriz y cantante hispanomexicana.
      Debutó como actriz secundaria en la cinta Te quiero para mí(1943) precedida por Isabel de Pomés, e inmediatamente dio el salto al protagónico con Empezó en boda, junto a Fernando Fernán Gómez, con quien volvería a encabezar su siguiente película, Se le fue el novio. Aunque realizaba tanto papeles estelares como secundarios logrando críticas favorables e incluso algún éxito importante como Locura de amor(1948), se sentía insatisfecha de su sitio en la industria española, y después de coprotagonizar El capitán Veneno nuevamente junto a Fernando F. Gómez, decidió probar mejor fortuna en América. En apenas cuatro años rodó catorce cintas entre México y Cuba, como la exitosa Piel canela que le abriría las puertas de Hollywood para estelarizar junto a Gary Cooper y Burt Lancaster el western Veracruz, de Robert Aldrich, filme al que siguieron otros dos dirigidos por Samuel Fuller y Anthony Mann.
      La talentosa actriz y cantante de música popular Sara Montiel (nacida María Antonia Alejandra Abad Fernández), más conocida como Sarita Montiel, se convirtió en una de las primeras sex symbols de España en atraer la atención de Hollywood con sus cautivadoras actuaciones.
       En 1943, Sara Montiel comenzó a involucrarse en el mundo del espectáculo después de ganar un concurso de nuevos talentos patrocinado por una productora local. Su debut se produjo después de interpretar un papel en la película Te Quiero Para Mi, dirigida por Ladislao Vajda. Sin embargo, el gran avance del debutante llegó en 1948 con la exitosa Locura de Amor. A principios de los años 50, Montiel se instaló en México y comenzó su carrera como cantante trabajando junto a Pedro Infante, Manolo Fábregas y Agustín Lara, entre otros destacados artistas locales. En 1954, la aclamada actriz tuvo la oportunidad de trabajar junto a Gary Cooper y Burt Lancaster en la realización de Veracruz.
        Montiel saltó al estrellato de la música latina con el lanzamiento de la banda sonora de la película El Ultimo Cuplé (también conocido como The Last Torch Song). Durante la década de 1970, realizó giras por los musicales célebres más importantes del mundo, como Saritísima, Increíble Sara, Super Sara Show y Doña Sara de la Mancha. Drago Bonacich, Guía de toda la música
Juró amarme un hombre sin miedo a la muerte
Sus negros ojazos en mi alma clavó
Tu amor es mi sino
Tu amor es mi suerte
Tu amor es mi vida
Me dijo y juró.
Llegarme juró en su querer
Mas allá del dolor y el placer.
Y loca la hermosa
Promesa del hombre
Yo fuí una mujer.
 
Nena...
Me decia loco de pasión.
Nena...
Que mi vida llenas de ilusión.
Deja que ponga
Con embeleso
Junto a tus labios
La llama divina
De un beso.
 
Un día en sus ojos la fiebre brillaba
Aquellos ojazos que en mi alma clavó.
Y vi que la vida fugaz escapaba
De aquel que en sus besos la vida me dio.
Y loca a su lado corrí.
Vive vive
Exclame para mi
Y él que se moría
Aún sonreía
Diciendome así...
 
Nena...
Me decia loco de pasión.
Nena...
Que mi vida llenas de ilusión.
Deja que ponga
Con embeleso
Junto a tus labios
La llama divina
 
De un beso.
De un beso.

ALL THE MAN THAT I NEED

WHITNEY HOUSTON
SONGWRITERS: DEAN PITCHFORD & MICHAEL GORE
COUNTRY: U. S. A.
ALBUM: I’M YOUR BABY TONIGHT
LABEL: ARISTA RECORDS
GENRE: SOUL
YEAR: 1990
 
     Whitney Elizabeth Houston(August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012) was an American singer and actress. Nicknamed "The Voice", she is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with sales of over 200 million records worldwide. Houston has influenced many singers in popular music, and is known for her powerful, soulful vocals and vocal improvisation skills. She is the only artist to have had seven consecutive number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, from "Saving All My Love for You" in 1985 to "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" in 1988. Houston enhanced her popularity upon entering the movie industry. Her recordings and films have generated both great success and controversy. She has received numerous accolades throughout her career and posthumously, including two Emmy Awards, six Grammy Awards, 16 Billboard Music Awards, and 28 Guinness World Records, as well as induction into the Grammy, Rhythm and Blues Music, and Rock and Roll halls of fame.
       Houston began singing in church as a child and became a background vocalist while in high school. She was one of the first black women to appear on the cover of Seventeen after becoming a teen model in 1981. With the guidance of Arista Records chairman Clive Davis, Houston signed to the label at age 19. Her first two studio albums, Whitney Houston(1985) and Whitney(1987), both peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 and are among the best-selling albums of all time. Houston's third studio album, I'm Your Baby Tonight(1990), yielded two Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles: "I'm Your Baby Tonight" and "All the Man That I Need".
        I'm Your Baby Tonight is the third studio album of American singer Whitney Houston released on November 6, 1990, by Arista Records. The album has been certified quadruple platinum in the US by the RIAA
        By 1989, Whitney Houston had become one of the most successful musicians in the industry, with her last two albums -Whitney Houston and Whitney - having sold a combined 30 million copies at the time. Houston's crossover blend of pop and R&B had helped her to break barriers on pop radio and on MTV, which along with the commercial breakthrough of Michael Jackson, led to the music industry enjoying "the best time for crossover artists since the height of disco in the mid-to-late '70s", according to journalist Frank Rizzo in 1987. Despite this, however, some black critics began to voice their disapproval of Houston's music, especially with her sophomore release, Whitney, which included the number-one hits, the dance pop hit "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)" and, in particular, the rock song, "So Emotional", accusing the singer of "selling out". They also felt that her records lacked the soul of her live performances of the same songs. While attending the 1989 Soul Train Music Awards, Houston's name was jeered by some in the audience after she was announced as a nominee in a category. Houston defended herself against the criticism telling Essence magazine in 1990, "If you're gonna have a long career, there's a certain way to do it and I did it that way. I'm not ashamed of it."
      Still, both Houston and her label head Clive Davis agreed to go into a more urban direction as popular music was starting to embrace a new urban pop sound called new jack swing. As the material on her previous albums had been picked by the label, Houston wanted more creative control over the album's content. As a result, Houston would serve as an executive producer for the first time on an album. She recruited the new jack swing production team of L.A. Reid and Babyface, citing their work on Bobby Brown's Don't Be Cruel, to help her with her new direction. The duo would present the songs "I'm Your Baby Tonight", "My Name Is Not Susan", their sole ballad "Miracle" and "Anymore". Houston also recruited longtime idol Stevie Wonder on the album with the two collaborating on the Wonder-composed duet, "We Didn't Know", while longtime friend, singer Luther Vandross, penned the new jack swing-leading "Who Do You Love".
I used to cry myself to sleep at night
But that was all before he came
I thought love had to hurt to turn out right
But now he's here, it's not the same
It's not the same
 
He fills me up, he gives me love
More love than I've ever seen
He's all I got, he's all I got in this world
But he's all the man that I need
 
And in the morning when I kiss his eyes
He takes me down and rocks me slow
And in the evening when the moon is high
He holds me close and won't let go
He won't let go
 
He fills me up, he gives me love
More love than I've ever seen
He's all I got, he's all I got in this world
But he's all the man that I need
 
He fills me up (He fills me up)
He gives me love
More love than I've ever seen
(Than I've ever seen)
He's all I got (he's all I've got)
He's all I got in this world
 
But he's all the man that I need
(All the man, all the man I need)
 
He fills me up (he fills me up)
He gives me love
More, more love, more love (more love),
More love, more love (than I've ever seen)
He's all I've got (he's all I've got)
He's all I got in this world
But he's all the man, all the man
(All the man, all the man I need)
 
He fills me up (woo)
More love than I've ever seen
He's all I've got
All the man, all the man I need.

J'écoute en soupirant la pluie qui ruisselle
Frappant doucement sur mes carreaux
Comme des milliers de larmes qui me rappellent
Que je suis seule en l'attendant
 
Le seul garçon que j'aime n'a pas su comprendre
Que lui seul comptait pour moi
Et près de ma fenêtre je reste à l'attendre
En guettant le bruit de ses pas
 
Pluie, oh dis-lui de revenir un jour
Et qu'entre nous renaisse un grand amour
Le passé ne sera plus qu'un triste souvenir
 
Mais si après la pluie se montre le soleil
Et qu'il va réchauffer son cœur
Il comprendra enfin combien j'étais fidèle
Et il viendra sécher mes pleurs
 
Comment lui dire que moi je l'aime trop
Qu'il me manque et que j'ai le cœur gros
Et que pour moi l'amour sans lui ne compte pas
 
J'écoute en soupirant la pluie qui ruisselle
Frappant doucement sur mes carreaux
Comme des milliers de larmes qui me rappellent
Que j'étais seule en l'attendant.

I WILL BE

        Leona Louise Lewis(born 3 April 1985) is a British singer, songwriter, actress, model and activist. Born and raised in the London Borough of Islington, she attended the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology in Croydon. Lewis achieved national recognition when she won the third series of The X Factor in 2006, winning a £ million recording contract with Syco Music. Her winner's single, a cover of Kelly Clarkson's "A Moment Like This", peaked at number one for four weeks on the UK Singles Chart and broke a world record by reaching 50,000 digital downloads within 30 minutes. In February 2007, Lewis signed a five-album contract in the United States with Clive Davis's record label, J Records.
       Lewis's success continued with the release of her debut studio album, Spirit(2007), which was certified 10× platinum in the UK and became the fourth best-selling album of the 2000s and one of the best-selling albums in UK chart history. According to the Official Charts Company, Spirit is the best-selling debut album by a female artist in the 21st century.

Critics praised the album for creating a contemporary album using such a variety of producers, and for showcasing Lewis's voice. The release of the album marked Lewis as the first winner of a major television talent show in both the UK and US to be given a major global launch with a debut album.
     The album debuted at number one in nine countries, including the United Kingdom, United States and Germany, and peaked in the top five in a further eight countries. It held the record for the biggest digital album sales in a week ever for a new artist. The album was the sixth biggest-selling of 2008 in the world, as according to the IFPI.

There's nothing I could say to you
Nothing I could ever do to make you see
What you mean to me
 
All the pain, the tears I cried
Still you never said goodbye and now I know
How far you'd go
 
And if I let you down
I'll turn it all around
This time I'll never let you go
 
I will be, all that you want
And get myself together
'Cause you keep me from falling apart
 
All my life, I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day
And make everything OK
 
I thought that I had everything
I didn't know what life could bring
But now I see, honestly
 
You're the one thing I got right
The only one I let inside
Now I can breathe, cause you're here with me
 
If I let you down
I turned it all around
Cause I'll never let you go
 
I will be, all that you want
And get myself together
'Cause you keep me from falling apart
 
And all my life, Ill be with you forever
To get you through the day and make everything okay
 
Without you I can't breathe
I'm not gonna ever, ever let you leave
You're all I got, you're all I want, oh
'Cause without you I don't know what I'd do
I can never, ever live a day without you
Here with me, do you see you're all I need?
 
And I will be, all that you want and get myself together
'Cause you keep me from falling apart
And all my life, I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day and make everything okay
 
I will be all that you want and get myself together
'Cause you keep me from falling apart
And all my life, I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day and make everything okay.
