Ri, podes rir, não faz mal
Todo o amor, afinal
Deixa um peito sangrando
Um coração chorando
Alguém se lamentando
Ri, Ai! quanta gente infeliz
A sorrir, ninguém diz
Leva a vida cantando
A própria dor negando
O seu amor calando
No picadeiro, ao léu
Palhaços sem papel
Somos todos nós falseando a voz
E a plateia chora rindo
 
Somos todos nós falseando a voz
E a plateia chora rindo.

     The Highwaymen were an American country music supergroup, composed of four of country music's biggest artists who pioneered the outlaw country subgenre: Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson. Between 1985 and 1995, the group recorded three major label albums as The Highwaymen: two on Columbia Records and one for Liberty Records. Their Columbia works produced three chart singles, including the number one "Highwayman" in 1985.
     Between 1996 and 1999, Nelson, Kristofferson, Cash, and Jennings provided the voice and dramatization for the Louis L'Amour Collection, a four-CD box set of seven Louis L'Amour stories published by the HighBridge Company, although the four were not credited as "The Highwaymen" in this work.
     Besides the four formal members of the group, one other vocal artist appeared on a Highwaymen recording: Johnny Rodriguez, who provided Spanish vocal on "Deportee", a Woody Guthrie composition, from the album Highwayman.
     The four starred in one movie together: the 1986 film Stagecoach.
      In 1990, the original members of the 1950s-'60s folk group of the same name sued The Highwaymen over their use of the name, which was inspired by a Jimmy Webb ballad the country stars had recorded. The suit was dropped when all parties agreed that the folk group owned the name but that the earlier group would grant a nonexclusive, nontransferable license to the supergroup to use the name. The two groups then shared the stage at a 1990 concert in Hollywood. 
Well, an old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
Plowing through the ragged sky
And up the cloudy draw
 
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
He saw the riders coming hard
And he heard their mournful cry
 
Yippie-yi-ay (yippie-yi-ay)
Yippie-yi-yay (yippie-yi-yay)
Ghost riders in the sky
 
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat
He's riding hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught 'em yet
'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire
As they ride on hear their cry
 
As the riders passed on by him he heard one call his name (Merle Haggard)
If you want to save your soul from hell a-riding on our range
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
Trying to catch the devil's herd
Across these endless skies
 
Yippie-yi-ay (yippie-yi-ay)
Yippie-yi-yay (yippie-yi-yay)
You lost a "yippie" there
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky.

      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.
