       The Eagles are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1971. With five number-one singles and six number-one albums, six Grammy Awards and five American Music Awards, the Eagles were one of the most successful musical acts of the 1970s in North America. Founding members Glenn Frey(guitars, vocals), Don Henley(drums, vocals), Bernie Leadon (guitars, vocals), and Randy Meisner(bass guitar, vocals) were recruited by Linda Ronstadt as band members, some touring with her, and all playing on her third solo album, before venturing out on their own on David Geffen's new Asylum Records label.

       Their debut album, Eagles(1972), spawned two top-20 singles in the US and Canada: "Take It Easy" and "Witchy Woman". The next year's follow-up album, Desperado, peaked at only number 41 in the US, although the song "Desperado" became a popular track. In 1974, guitarist Don Felder joined, and On the Border produced the top-40 hit "Already Gone" and the Eagles' first number-one song in the US and Canada, "Best of My Love", which made the top 15 in Australia, their first hit overseas. In 1975, the album One of These Nights became their first number-one album in the US and a top-10 album in many countries. It included the US number-one hit "One of These Nights", which was their first top-10 hit outside of North America, and US top-five songs "Lyin' Eyes" and "Take It to the Limit". Also in 1975, guitarist and vocalist Joe Walsh replaced Leadon.

     Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975)(1976) is the best-selling album in the United States, with 38million sold, and primed the public for the late 1976 release of Hotel California, which would sell more than 26million copies in the US (ranking 3rd all-time for US sales), and more than 32million copies worldwide. The album yielded two number-one singles in the US and Canada, "New Kid in Town" and "Hotel California", the latter of which became their only top-10 hit in the United Kingdom, while also reaching the top 10 in New Zealand and many European countries, including number two in France.

        One of These Nights is the fourth studio album by the Eagles, released in 1975. In July that year, the record became the Eagles' first number one album on Billboard's album chart, yielding three Top 10 singles: "One of These Nights", "Lyin' Eyes" and "Take It to the Limit". Its title song is the group's second number one single on the Billboard Hot 100. The album sold four million copies and was nominated for Grammy Album of the Year. A single from the album, "Lyin' Eyes", was also nominated for Record of the Year, and won the Eagles' first Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.

        One of These Nights is the last Eagles album to feature guitarist Bernie Leadon, who left the band after the One of These Nights tour and was replaced by Joe Walsh. The seventh track, "Visions", is the only Eagles song on which lead guitarist Don Felder sang the lead vocals, despite his desire to write and sing more songs. The album was the band's commercial breakthrough, transforming them into international superstars. They went on a worldwide tour to promote the album.

One of these nights

One of these crazy old nights

We're gonna find out, pretty mama

What turns on your lights

 

The full Moon is calling, the fever is high

And the wicked wind whispers and moans

You got your demons

And you got desires

Well, I got a few of my own

 

Oh, someone to be kind to in between the dark and the light

Oh, coming right behind you, swear I'm gonna find you

One of these nights

 

One of these dreams

One of these lost and lonely dreams, now

We're gonna find one

Oh, one that really screams

 

I've been searching for the daughter of the devil himself

I've been searching for an angel in white

I've been waiting for a woman who's a little of both

And I can feel her but she's nowhere in sight

 

Oh, loneliness will blind you

In between the wrong and the right (woah, woah)

Oh, coming right behind you, swear I'm gonna find you

One of these nights

 

One of these nights

Hm, In between the dark and the light

Coming right behind you

Swear I'm gonna find you

Get ya baby one of these nights

 

One of these nights (woah, oh, woah, oh)

One of these nights

 

I can feel it

I can feel it

One of these nights

Coming right behind you

Swear I'm gonna find you now

One of these nights

 

And it gets so dark, so dark

In the cold and lonely

One of these nights

One of these crazy, crazy, crazy nights

One of these nights

Swear I'm gonna find you

Coming right behind you now

One of these nights

(Oooh)

 

One of these nights

Ah, and I wanna say ah!

One of these nights

Yes, ah, one of these one of these

 

One of these nights

Ah, coming right behind you

Swear I'm gonna find you

 

One of these nights

One of these nights

One of these crazy old nights

One of these nights.

       Roland Kent LaVoie(born July 31, 1943), better known by his stage name Lobo(which is a Spanish word for wolf), is an American singer-songwriter who was successful in the 1970s, scoring several U.S. Top 10 hits including "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo", "I'd Love You to Want Me", and "Don't Expect Me to Be Your Friend". These three songs, along with "Where Were You When I Was Falling in Love", gave Lobo four chart toppers on the Easy Listening/Hot Adult Contemporary chart.

        Calumet is the third album by Lobo, released in 1973 on Big Tree Records. It was reissued in 2008 by Wounded Bird Records and includes six bonus tracks.

The album peaked at Nº 128 on the US Top LPs chart. Two of its singles were top 30 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and top 5 hits on the Easy Listening chart. "There Ain't No Way" and its B-side "Love Me For What I Am" were minor hits on the Hot 100.

If the time should ever come

That you feel our race is run

And you're old brass bed's the only

thing that we share

If you think our ships come in

Let's just break it off my friend

Cause nothings worse than playing like you care.

 

There's nothing that's so final about leaving

Even though I know that's what you've heard

Just like forgive, forget and try again

Goodbye is just another word.

 

If you feel the time is right

And you sneak off in the night

And live out all those stories in your head

When your shiny knight goes home

And you're left there all alone

And you need a friend remember what I said.

THE EVERLY BROTHERS

SONGWRITER: DONALD I EVERLY

COUNTRY: U. S. A.

ALBUM: A DATE WITH THE EVERLY BROTHERS

LABEL: WARNER BROS. RECORDS

GENRE: POP ROCK

YEAR: 1960

 

         The Everly Brothers were an American rock duo, known for steel-string acoustic guitar playing and close harmony singing. Consisting of Isaac Donald "Don" Everly (February 1, 1937 – August 21, 2021) and Phillip "Phil" Everly (January 19, 1939 – January 3, 2014), the duo combined elements of rock and roll, country, and pop, becoming pioneers of country rock.

       The duo was raised in a musical family, first appearing on radio singing along with their father Ike Everly and mother Margaret Everly as "The Everly Family" in the 1940s. When the brothers were still in high school, they gained the attention of prominent Nashville musicians like Chet Atkins, who began to promote them for national attention.

       They began writing and recording their own music in 1956, and their first hit song came in 1957, with "Bye Bye Love", written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant. The song hit Nº 1 in the spring of 1957, and additional hits would follow through 1958, many of them written by the Bryants, including "Wake Up Little Susie", "All I Have to Do Is Dream", and "Problems". In 1960, they signed with the major label Warner Bros. Records and recorded "Cathy's Clown", written by the brothers themselves, which was their biggest selling single. The brothers enlisted in the United States Marine Corps Reserve in 1961, and their output dropped off, though additional hit singles continued through 1962, with "That's Old Fashioned (That's the Way Love Should Be)" being their last top-10 hit.

       Long-simmering disputes with Wesley Rose, the CEO of Acuff-Rose Music, which managed the group, and a growing drug usage in the 1960s, as well as changing tastes in popular music, led to the group's decline in popularity in its native U.S., though the brothers continued to release hit singles in the U.K. and Canada and had many highly successful tours throughout the 1960s. In the early 1970s, the brothers began releasing solo recordings, and in 1973 they officially broke up. Starting in 1983, the brothers got back together and continued to perform periodically until Phil's death in 2014. Don died seven years later.

         The group was highly influential with the music of the generation that followed it. Many of the top acts of the 1960s were heavily influenced by the close-harmony singing and acoustic guitar playing of the Everly Brothers, including the Beatles, the Beach Boys, the Bee Gees, and Simon & Garfunkel. In 2015, Rolling Stone ranked the Everly Brothers Nº 1 on its list of the 20 Greatest Duos of All Time. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of the inaugural class of 1986, and into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2001. Don was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2019, earning the organization's first Iconic Riff Award for his distinctive rhythm guitar intro to the Everlys' massive 1957 hit "Wake Up Little Susie".

       A Date with the Everly Brothers is the fourth studio album by American singing duo the Everly Brothers, released in 1960. It peaked at Nº 9 on the Billboard Pop albums charts and reached Nº 3 in the UK.

          The song "Love Hurts" appears here for the first time. It would subsequently be covered by numerous other artists. Other than the "Cathy's Clown"/"Always It's You" single, all of the tracks on A Date with the Everly Brothers were recorded in just four sessions during July 1960.

        Writing for Allmusic, critic Richie Unterberger wrote of the album "Although the material is not on the killer level of 'It's Everly Time', there are some very fine songs on their second Warner LP."

       The album was included in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

Don't want your love anymore

Don't want your kisses, that's for sure

I die each time I hear this sound

Here he comes, that's Cathy's clown

 

I gotta stand tall

You know a man can't crawl

When he knows you're tellin' lies and he hears 'em passing by

He's not a man at all

 

Don't want your love anymore

Don't want your kisses, that's for sure

I die each time I hear this sound

Here he comes, that's Cathy's clown

 

When you see me shed a tear

And you know that it's sincere

Don't you think it's kinda sad that you're treating me so bad

Or don't you even care?

 

Don't want your love anymore

Don't want your kisses, that's for sure

I die each time I hear this sound

Here he comes, that's Cathy's clown

 

That's Cathy's clown

That's Cathy's clown.

THIS IS NOT A LOVE SONG

NOUVELLE VAGUE (HELENA NOGUERRA)

SONGWRITERS: JOHN LYDON; KEITH LEVENE & MARTIN CLIVE ATKINS

COUNTRY: FRANCE/BELGIUM

ALBUM: NOUVELLE VAGUE

LABEL: PEACEFROG RECORDS

GENRE: EASY LISTENING

YEAR: 2004

 

    Nouvelle Vague is a French cover band led by musicians Olivier Libaux and Marc Collin. Their name means "new wave" in French, and refers simultaneously to the French New Wave cinema movement of the 1960s, to the new wave music movement of the 1970s and 1980s, which provides many of the songs that the band covers, and to bossa nova(Portuguese for "new wave"), a musical style that the band frequently uses in its arrangements.

    The group's recordings and live performances have featured a large rotating cast of mostly female vocalists. Several of the artists who have performed with the band have also had successful solo careers, including Camille, Phoebe Killdeer, Mélanie Pain, and Nadéah Miranda.

      Nouvelle Vague is the debut studio album by the French band Nouvelle Vague. It was first released on 9 August 2004 on Peacefrog Records.

      The album consists entirely of easy listening and bossa nova versions of songs that were written and recorded during the post-punk/new wave era. The band's name is a play on words, new wave and bossa nova being the literal translations, in English and Portuguese respectively, of the French phrase Nouvelle Vague, which is itself a reference to the French cinema movement of the 1950s and 1960s. The songs were recorded with female vocalists who had not previously heard the songs they would be covering.

        Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux began work on the project in 2003, after Collin had the idea of covering Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" in a bossa nova style. Libaux later explained: "I met Marc Collin during the 90's, at a friend's place. Marc was the first musician I met in years who I could talk [to] about new wave music. For some reason, at the end of the 80's, punk and new wave music had turned into a sort of old-fashioned music, which nobody was talking about anymore. Meeting Marc, I could talk about The Stranglers, The Cure and The Sisters of Mercy again. We then have worked on a couple of albums he was producing ... Starting Nouvelle Vague was sounding obvious for us, as our ideas were matching, and the songs were happening well and quickly." The album was produced and recorded over a period of eight months.

This is not a love song

Happy to have, not to have not

Big business is very wise

I'm crossing over into

Enterprise

 

This is not a love song

This is not a love song

This is not a love song

This is not a love song

 

I'm adaptable now, I like my new role

I'm getting better and better

I have a new goal, I'm changing my ways

Where money applies, this is not a love song

 

This is not a love song

This is not a love song

This is not a love song

This is not a love song

 

I'm going over to the other side

I'm happy to have not to have not

Big business is very wise

I'm inside free enterprise

 

This is not a love song

This is not a love song

This is not a love song

This is not a love song

 

That television, behind the curtain

Out of the cupboard, you take the first train

Into the big world, are you ready to grab the candle?

That tunnel vision

 

This is not a love song

This is not a love song

This is not a love song

This is not a love song.
