      Céline Marie Claudette Dion (/seɪˌliːn diˈɒn/say-LEEN dee-ON; born 30 March 1968) is a Canadian singer. Noted for her powerful and technically skilled vocals, Dion is the best-selling Canadian recording artist, and the best-selling French-language artist of all time. Her music has incorporated genres such as pop, rock, R&B, gospel, and classical music. Her recordings since have been mainly in English and French, although she has also sung in Spanish, Italian, German, Latin, Japanese, and Chinese.
        Born into a large family in Charlemagne, Quebec, Dion emerged as a teen star in her home country with a series of French-language albums during the 1980s. She gained international recognition by winning the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest, where she represented Switzerland with "Ne partez pas sans moi". After learning to speak English, she signed with Epic Records in the United States. Her debut English-language album, Unison(1990), established her as a viable pop artist primarily in North America and several English-speaking markets, while The Colour of My Love(1993) gave her global superstardom.
      Falling into You is the fourth English-language and fourteenth studio album by Canadian singer Celine Dion, released on 11 March 1996 by Columbia/Epic Records. The follow-up to her commercially successful album The Colour of My Love(1993) and French-language D'eux(1995), Falling into You showed a further progression of Dion's music. Throughout the project she collaborated with Jim Steinman, who wrote and produced "It's All Coming Back to Me Now", among others. Several songs were produced by David Foster, including Diane Warren's "Because You Loved Me". In total, Dion worked on the album with fourteen producers and a variety of songwriters and musicians.
    Falling into You won many awards around the world, including two Grammy awards for Album of the Year and Best Pop Album at the 39th annual ceremony, during which Dion performed live. In April 1997, she also won three World Music Awards for World's Best Selling Artist of the Year, World's Best Selling Pop Artist of the Year and World's Best Selling Canadian Artist of the Year. The album is on Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's Definitive 200 list.
       Falling into You became Dion's best-selling album and one of the best-selling albums in history, with sales of more than 32 million copies worldwide, including twelve million copies in the US, over two million in the United Kingdom, and over one million in Germany, France, Canada and Australia. In Europe, it has sold over nine million units. It topped the charts around the world, including number one in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Australia and many more. It became one of the best-selling albums of 1996 and 1997 in various countries and also one of the top-selling albums of the decade. It was certified Diamond, Multi-Platinum, Platinum and Gold around the world.

There were nights when the wind was so cold
That my body froze in bed
If I just listened to it right outside the window
There were days when the sun was so cruel
That all the tears turned to dust
And I just knew my eyes were drying up forever
I finished crying in the instant that you left
And I can't remember where or when or how
And I banished every memory you and I had ever made
 
But when you touch me like this
And you hold me like that
I just have to admit
That it's all coming back to me
When I touch you like this
And I hold you like that
It's so hard to believe but
It's all coming back to me
It's all coming back
It's all coming back to me now
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things I'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than any laws allow
 
Baby, baby
If I kiss you like this
And if you whisper like that
It was lost long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you want me like this
And if you need me like that
It was dead long ago
But it's all coming back to me
It's so hard to resist
And it's all coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
 
But it's all coming back
 
There were those empty threats and hollow lies
And whenever you tried to hurt me
I just hurt you even worse and so much deeper
There were hours that just went on for days
When alone at last we'd count up all the chances
That were lost to us forever (Forever)
 
But you were history with the slamming of the door
And I made myself so strong again somehow
And I never wasted any of my time on you since then
But if I touch you like this
And if you kiss me like that
It was so long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you touch me like this
And if I kiss you like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
 
It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things we'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than all your laws allow
 
Baby, baby, baby
When you touch me like this
And when you hold me like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
Then we see what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
 
If you forgive me all this
If I forgive you all that
We forgive and forget
And it's all coming back to me now
 
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
Then we see what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
 
And when you kiss me like this
(It's all coming back to me now)
And when I touch you like that
(It's all coming back to me now)
And if you do it like this
(It's all coming back to me now)
And if we.

WOMAN FROM TOKYO

DEEP PURPLE
SONGWRITERS: Ian Gillan; Ian Paice; Jon Lord; Ritchie Blackmore & Roger D Glover
COUNTRY: U. K.
ALBUM: WHO DO WE THINK WE ARE
LABEL: PURPLE RECORDS
GENRE: ROCK
YEAR: 1973
 
       Deep Purple are an English rock band formed in London in 1968. They are considered to be among the pioneers of heavy metal and modern hard rock, but their musical approach has changed over the years. Originally formed as a psychedelic rock and progressive rock band, they shifted to a heavier sound with their 1970 album Deep Purple in Rock. Deep Purple, together with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, have been referred to as the "unholy trinity of British hard rock and heavy metal in the early to mid-seventies". They were listed in the 1975 Guinness Book of World Records as "the globe's loudest band" for a 1972 concert at London's Rainbow Theatre and have sold over 100 million albums worldwide.
     Who Do We Think We Are is the seventh studio album by the English hard rock band Deep Purple, released in 1973. It was Deep Purple's last album with singer Ian Gillan and bassist Roger Glover until 1984’s Perfect Strangers.
       Musically, the record showed a move to a more blues-based sound, even featuring scat singing. Although its production and the band's behaviour after its release showed the group in turmoil, with frontman Gillan remarking that "we'd all had major illnesses" and felt considerable fatigue, the album was a commercial success. Deep Purple became the top-selling U.S. artist in 1973. The album featured the energetic hard-rock single "Woman from Tokyo," a live staple of the band's since the album's release.

Fly into the rising sun,
Faces, smiling everyone
Yeah, she is a whole new tradition
I feel it in my heart
 
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me
 
Talk about her like a queen
Dancing in a eastern dream
Yeah, she makes me feel like a river
That carries me away
 
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me
 
But I'm at home and I just don't belong ...
So far away from the garden we love
She is what moves in the soul of a dove
Soon I shall see just how black was my night
When we're alone in her city of light
 
Rising from the neon gloom
Shining like a crazy moon
Yeah, she turns me on like a fire
I get high
 
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me.

ANO: 1970
 
       Vicentina de Paula Oliveira, conhecida como Dalva de Oliveira, (Rio Claro, 5 de Maio de 1917 – Rio de Janeiro, 30 de Agosto de 1972) foi uma consagrada cantora, e compositora brasileira de ascendência portuguesa, sendo considerada uma das mais importantes cantoras do Brasil e dona de uma voz poderosa, marcando época como intérprete.
      Nascida em 5 de maio de 1917, em uma família humilde na cidade de Rio Claro, interior de São Paulo, era filha de um carpinteiro mulato chamado Mário de Paula Oliveira, conhecido como Mário Carioca, e da portuguesa Alice do Espírito Santo Oliveira. Em 1935, Vicentina de Paula Oliveira mudou-se com a família para o Rio de Janeiro, em busca de uma vida melhor. Frequentava o Cine Pátria, onde conheceu seu primeiro namorado, Herivelto Martins, que formava ao lado de Francisco Sena o dueto Preto e Branco; foi terminado o dueto e nascia o Trio de Ouro. Iniciaram um namoro e, em 1936, com um ano de namoro, Dalva protagonizou um escândalo familiar, pois saiu de casa solteira, para viver com o namorado, ainda oficialmente casado: Os dois alugaram uma casa e iniciaram uma convivência conjugal. Herivelto ainda era casado no civil com sua ex-esposa, e a união deles só pôde ser regularizada em 1937, quando saiu o desquite dele. O matrimônio foi realizado somente no cartório, e comemorado em um ritual de umbanda, na praia, já que esta era a religião de Herivelto, embora Dalva fosse católica. A união gerou dois filhos: Os cantores Peri Oliveira Martins, o Pery Ribeiro, e Ubiratan Oliveira Martins. A União durou até 1947, quando as constantes brigas, traições, crises violentas de ciúmes e humilhações por parte de Herivelto deram fim ao casamento.

Vê, estão voltando as flores
Vê, nessa manhã tão linda
Vê, como é bonita a vida
Vê, há esperança ainda
 
Vê, as nuvens vão passando
Vê, um novo céu se abrindo
Vê, o sol iluminando
Por onde nós vamos indo
 
Vê, as nuvens vão passando
Vê, um novo céu se abrindo
Vê, o sol iluminando
Por onde nós vamos indo.

Qual Cisne Branco que em noite de lua
Vai deslizando no lago azul
O meu navio também flutua
Nos verdes mares de Norte a Sul
Linda galera que em noite apagada
Vai navegando no Mar imenso
Nos traz saudades da terra amada
 
Da Pátria minha em que tanto penso
Qual linda garça que aí vai cortando os ares
Vai navegando sob o belo Céu de anil
Minha galera vai cortando os bravos mares
Os verdes mares, os mares verdes do Brasil
 
Linda galera que em noite apagada
Vai navegando no Mar imenso
Nos traz saudades da terra amada
Da Pátria minha em que tanto penso.
