United States
The United States of America (commonly abbreviated to the United States, the U.S., the USA, America, and the States) is a federal constitutional republic comprising fifty states and a federal district. The country is situated mostly in central North America, where its forty-eight contiguous states and Washington, D.C., the capital district, lie between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, bordered by Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. The state of Alaska is in the northwest of the continent, with Canada to the east and Russia to the west, across the Bering Strait. The state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific. The country also possesses several territories in the Pacific and Caribbean.
At 3.79 million square miles (9.83 million km2) and with over 312 million people, the United States is the third or fourth largest country by total area, and the third largest by both land area and population. It is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many countries. The U.S. economy is the world's largest national economy, with an estimated 2011 GDP of $15.1 trillion (22% of nominal global GDP and over 19% of global GDP at purchasing-power parity). Per capita income is the world's sixth-highest.

Dion DiMucci
Dion Francis DiMucci (born July 18, 1939), better known mononymously as Dion, is an American singer-songwriter whose work has incorporated elements of doo-wop, pop oldies music, rock and R&B styles to straight blues in his recent work.
One of the most popular American rock and roll performers of the pre-British Invasion era, Dion had over a dozen Top 40 hits in the late 1950s and early 60s. He is best remembered for the 1961 singles "Runaround Sue" and "The Wanderer".
Due to changing public tastes and personal problems, Dion faltered in the mid-1960s; he regained popularity later in the decade and into the early 1970s with more mature, contemplative material such as "Abraham, Martin & John". He has continued making music to the present, earning reappraisals from critics who earlier dismissed him as a teen idol.
Dion was elected to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1989.
Dion was born to an Italian-American family in the Bronx, New York. As a child, he used to accompany his father, a vaudeville entertainer, on tour, and developed a love of country music – particularly Hank Williams – as well as a fondness for the blues and doo-wop stars he heard in local bars and on the radio. His singing was honed on the street corners and local clubs of the Bronx, where he and other neighborhood singers created a cappella licks.

Dion Fortune
Violet Mary Firth Evans (6 December 1890 – 8 January 1946), better known as Dion Fortune, was a British occultist and author. Her pseudonym was inspired by her family motto "Deo, non fortuna" (Latin for "by God, not fate"), originally the ancient motto of the Barons & Earls Digby.
She was born in Bryn-y-Bia in Llandudno, Wales, and grew up in a household where Christian Science was rigorously practiced. She reported visions of Atlantis at age four and the developing of psychic abilities during her twentieth year, at which time she suffered a nervous breakdown; after her recovery she found herself drawn to the occult. She joined the Theosophical Society and attended courses in psychology and psychoanalysis at the University of London, and became a lay psychotherapist at the Medico-Psychological Clinic in Brunswick Square.
Her first magical mentor was the Irish occultist and Freemason Theodore Moriarty. In 1919 she was initiated into the London Temple of the Alpha et Omega before transferring to the Stella Matutina order.

Dion of Syracuse
Dion (Δίων 408–354 BC), tyrant of Syracuse in Sicily, was the son of Hipparinus, and brother-in-law of Dionysius I of Syracuse.
Dion was the son of the Syracusan statesman Hipparinus, who had assisted the despot Dionysius I, in the Syracusan army. Hipparinus' other children were Megacles and Aristomache. Aristomache married the despot Dionysius I, who married the Locrian Doris simultaneously. Although Dion's sister was beloved by her fellow Syracusans, it was Doris who gave birth to the heir (Dionysius II). Aristomache had four children. Among them, Sophrosyne married the younger Dionysius, and Arete married Dion (whose son was Hipparinus).
Dion was so close to the elder despot that he was given the most important assignments. Dion excelled in managing the embassies that dealt with the warring Carthage. The despot was satisfied with Dion's adviser role so, eventually, Dion was authorized to withdraw money from the realm's treasury. The despot demanded, however, to be informed daily when he did so. Dion thereby became extremely rich and his residence was magnificently furnished. Nonetheless, Dion occasionally criticized the despot.

I want to go home
Where I belong
'Cause now I'm just a lonely teenager
When I was 16 ran away
All alone on a stray
What can I do what can I say
I'm a lonely teenager
Now I'm 17 still alone
Wondering if I should go home
Or maybe stay out on my own
I'm a lonely teenager
I'd love to go back home (back home)
Where I belong (back home)
I know I'd be alright
If I just stay out of sight
I want to go home
Where I belong
'Cause now I'm just a lonely teenager
(I want to go back home
Just let me go back home)
I'd love to go back home (back home)
Where I belong (back home)
I know I'd be alright
If I just stay out of sight
I want to go home
Where I belong
'Cause now I'm just a lonely teenager
(I want to go back home
Please let me go back home)
Has anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
You know, I just looked around and he's gone.
Anybody here seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
I just looked around and he's gone.
Anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
I just looked 'round and he's gone.
Didn't you love the things that they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?
And we'll be free
Some day soon, and it's a-gonna be one day ...
Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walk up over the hill,
Kiss my lips, hold my hand
Tell me you love me, I'm your loverman
I'm in love, in love with a wonderful girl
My heart is in pain
All my love is in all in vain
I'm in love, in love with a wonderful girl
Oh yes, wonderful girl
So baby, those feeling, yes, those feelings
They run up and down my spine
So, baby, they say, yes, they say
They make me lose my heart
You're my love, you're my love
Believe me, I'll swear it by the stars above
'Cause I'm in love, in love with a wonderful girl
It seems the whole world wants to turn their backs on me
Can't seem to find someone to give a little love to me
(La la la la la la ooo) (backing over wo-oh's by Dion)
Wonderin' just what to do, wonderin' just where to go
Waiting here all alone, waiting for love to show
Will love ever ever come my way?
Looking for someone's love, looking so hard I cry
Wanting someone to care, wanting as time goes by
Will love ever ever come my way?
I'm just like a lonely drifter, I'm goin' on my way
Hoping that I will find love someday, some way
Dreaming of love & fun, dreaming the long nights through
Wishing on stars above, wishing sounds sad but true
Will love ever ever come my way?
It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Some things that happen for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before
And loved before
When a star is born
They possess a gift or two
One of them is this
They have the power to make a wish come true
When you wish upon a star
Makes no diff'rence who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you thru
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
When you wish upon a star
Makes no diff'rence who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you thru
When you wish upon a star
Chorus::
We Don't Talk Anymore
We don't get it out
We just turn it away
What's this life all about
We Don't Talk Anymore
We Don't Talk Anymore
Repeat Chorus:
Lovin' her has turned into a game
She does her thing and I do the same
You know it ain't like it used to be
She done everything but set me free
Repeat Chorus:
I stagger in and it's quarter to four
I know she heard me, I slammed the back door
But she'll just turn over and softly cry
I used to love her, now I don't try
Repeat Chorus:
We turn it away
Woke up this mornin`
I was feelin` around for my shoes
I knew I had them
Mean `ol walkin` blues
But I woke up this mornin`
I was feeling around for my shoes
I know I had them
Mean ol` walkin` blues
Don`t ever let her tell you
That the worried blues ain`t bad
It`s the worst old feeling
That I most ever had
Don`t ever let `em tell you
That the worried blues ain`t bad
It`s the worst old feeling
I most ever had
Well I`m leaving Jonesboro
If I have to ride the blind
I`ve been mistreated
And I don`t mind dyin`
Well I`m leaving Jonesboro
If I have to ride the blind
I`ve been mistreated
And I don`t mind dyin`
She`s got an Elgin movement
From her head down to her toes
Breakin` on a dollar
Any where she goes
She got a Elgin movement
From her head down to her toes
She break in on a dollar
Any where she goes
Woke up this mornin`
I was feelin` around for my shoes
I knew I had them
Mean ol` walkin` blues
But I woke up this mornin`
I was feelin` around for my shoes
I knew I had them
I guess we can't help it
The moment just found us
The timing was perfect, the energy boundless
We both read each other, words aren't necessary
Like dancers in rhyme, we're involuntary
We think as one person without concentrating
I'm high on your laughter, it's intoxicating
We walk on the ceiling, the walls can't contain us
Together we're flying, the angels can claim us
You bring the dream
I'll bring the power
We'll blend it together
We'll build a tower of love
You'll bring passion
I'll bring desire
Then we'll light the sunrise, turn it to fire
And love
Turn it to love
You see the rhythm fits perfect, it's cooperation
I can't stand in one place, it's anticipation
With all of this feeling, the whole world can't cage us
My heart beats with your heart and it's contagious
You got a smile so bright
You know you could have been a candle
I`m holding you so tight
You know you could have been a handle
The way you swept me off my feet
You know you could`ve been a broom
And babe you smell so sweet
You know you could`ve been some perfume
Well you could of been anything that you wanted to
I can tell
The way you do the things you do
As pretty as you are
You know you could`ve been a flower
If good looks were minutes
You know you could have been an hour
The way you stole my heart
You know you could have been a crook
And baby your so smart
You know you could have been a school book
Well you could of been anything that you wanted to
I can tell
The way you do the things you do
Well you could of been .......
You make my life so rich
You know you could`ve been some money
And baby you`re so sweet
You know you could have been some honey
Well you could of been anything that you wanted to
I can tell
The way you do the things you do
Well you could of been .......
As pretty as you are
You know you could`ve been a flower
If good looks were minutes
You know you could have been an hour
The way you stole my heart
You know you could have been a crook
And baby your so smart
You know you could have been a school book
Well you could of been anything that you wanted to
I can tell
The way you do the things you do
Oh well, I'm the type of guy who will never settle down
Where pretty girls are well, you know that I'm around
I kiss 'em and I love 'em 'cause to me they're all the same
I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em they don't even know my name
They call me the wanderer
Yeah, the wanderer
I roam around, around, around
Oh well, there's Flo on my left and there's Mary on my right
And Janie is the girl with that I'll be with tonight
And when she asks me, which one I love the best?
I tear open my shirt I got Rosie on my chest
'Cause I'm the wanderer
Yeah, the wanderer
I roam around, around, around
Oh well, I roam from town to town
I go through life without a care
And I'm as happy as a clown
I with my two fists of iron and I'm going nowhere
I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around
I'm never in one place, I roam from town to town
And when I find myself fallin' for some girl
I hop right into that car of mine and ride around the world
Yeah I'm the wanderer
Yeah, the wanderer
I roam around, around, around
Oh yeah, I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around
I'm never in one place, I roam from town to town
And when I find myself a-fallin' for some girl
I hop right into that car of mine and drive around the world
Yeah, 'cause I'm a wanderer
Yeah, a wanderer
I roam around, around, around
'Cause I'm a wanderer
Yeah, a wanderer
I roam around, around, around
'Cause I'm a wanderer
Yeah, a wanderer
linda taught me geometric tables
But only you said, let's begin again"
Karen demonstrated every dance step
Laura bought me all that money could buy
Sherry cooked dinners like a French gourmet
But only you could see through every lie.
Chorus:
Maybe that's the pattern of my lifeline
Maybe I've been misled far too long
Now you and I can find the truth on down the line
It makes no difference If sometimes we're wrong.
Jeannie knew the wild inside of summer
Carol claimed her health foods made me well
Gina lost herself In books to guide her
But only you knew more than they could tell.
This old world may never change
Not the way it's been
And all the ways of war
Can't change it back again
I've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me
I'm not the one to tell this world
How to get along
I only know that peace will come
When all hate is gone
I've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me
Sometimes I think about
Saturday's child
And all about the times
When we were running wild
I've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me
This old world may never change
To spend one night with you in our old rendezvous,
And reminisce with you That's My Desire.
To meet where gypsies play, down in that dim cafe,
And dance 'till break of day That's My Desire.
We'll sip a little glass of wine, I'll gaze into your
eyes divine.
I'll feel the touch of your lips pressing on mine.
To hear you whisper low just when it's time to go,
Gypsy girl, the hands of Harlem cannot hold you to its
heat
Your temperature Is too hot for taming
Your flaming feet, they're burnin' up the street
And l am homeless, come and take me
To the reach of your rattling drums
Let me know, babe, all about my fortune
all along my restless palms
Gypsy girl, you got me swallowed
and I have fallen far beneath
Your pearly eyes so fast an slashing
and your flashing diamond teeth
The night Is pitch black
Come and make my pale face fit In place ah, please
and let me know, babe
Am I merely drowning
for it's you that my lifelines trace
You have slayed me
You have made me
I've got to laugh halfways off my heels
I've got to know, babe
Come here end touch me
I want a Sunday kind of love
A love to last past Saturday night
And I'd like to know it's more than love at first sight
I want a Sunday kind of love oh yeah
I want a love that's on the square
Can't seem to find somebody someone to care
And I'm on a lonely road that leads to nowhere
I need a Sunday kind of love
I do all my Sunday dreaming
And all my Sunday scheming
Every minute, every hour, every day
And I'm hopin' to discover
A certain kind of lover
Who will show me the way
And my arms need someone to enfold
To help keep me warm
When Mondays, and Tuesdays grow cold
And I need a love for all my life
To have and to hold
I need a Sunday kind of love
I do all my Sunday dreaming
And all my Sunday scheming
Every minute, every hour, every day
And I'm hopin' to discover
A certain kind of lover
Who will show me the way
And my arms need someone to enfold
To help keep me warm
When Mondays, and Tuesdays grow cold
And I need a love for all my life
To have and to hold
I need a Sunday kind of love
I don't want a Monday or a Tuesday
A Wednesday or a Thursday
Friday or Saturday
I don't want nothin' baby
She was just sixteen, had to quit high school
'Cause she just couldn't hack it
Hangin' out on the New York streets
With a punk in a leather jacket
She likes to tease, Manhattan queen
By the johns in the discotheques
Burnin' hips to turn soft tricks
Sellin' coke and bouncin' checks
Chorus::
Street Mama. Street Mama
Look at yourself, you're livin' in the New York Times
Street Mama, Street Mama
Look at yourself, you're livin' in the New York Times
She met a dude in a rock and roll band
That got her on the health board file
You know it ain't no fun in a dirty city
When you're wearin' a contagious smile
Now what's this jive 'bout stayin' alive?
I'm payin' my dues
She'll go the whole route
'Till she finally checks out
And you can read it in the Daily News
Repeat Chorus:
What': this jive 'bout stayin' alive?
She said "Man I'm only payin' my dues
You go the whole route till you finally check out
Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low;
Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low.
You got no nerve baby, to turn uncle john from your door.
I woke up this morning, I had them statesboro blues,
I woke up this morning, had them statesboro blues.
Well, I looked over in the corner, and grandpa seemed to
have them too.
Well my momma died and left me,
My poppa died and left me,
I ain't good looking baby,
Want someone sweet and kind.
I'm goin' to the country, baby do you wanna go?
But if you can't make it baby, your sister lucille said
she wanna go.
(and I sure will take her).
I love that woman, better than any woman I've ever seen;
Well, I love that woman, better than any woman I've ever
seen.
Well, now, she treat me like a king, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I treat her like a dog gone queen.
Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low.
Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low.
It could be a spoonful of diamonds, yeah
Could be a spoonful of gold
Just a little spoon of your precious love
Satisfies my soul
CHORUS:
Men lie about it, ooo they cry about it
Even die about it, everybody fights about it
Ooo that spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
Well t could be a spoonful of water
Saved from the desert sand
But just a little spoon of that 45
Seedy from another man
Well it could be a spoonful of coffee
Could be a spoonful of tea
But just a little spoon of your precious love, baby
[Chorus: x2]
Shout
Shout
Let it aloud
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really really ought to know
Those one track minds
That took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
[Chorus]
They gave you life
And in return you gave them hell
As cold as ice
I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we live to tell the tale
[Chorus: x2]
And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
I'd really love to break your heart
I'd really love to break your heart
You can dance
Ev'ry dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye
Let him hold you tight
You can smile
Ev'ry smile for the man
Who held your hand
'Neath the pale moonlight
But don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be (gonna be)
So, darlin', save the last dance for me (dance with me,
dance with me)
Oh, I know (oh, I know)
That the music's fine
Like sparkling wine
Go and have your fun (have your fun)
Laugh and sing (laugh and sing)
But while we're apart,
Don't give your heart
To anyone
But don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be (gonna be)
So, darlin', save the last dance for me (dance with me,
dance with me)
Baby, don't you know I love you so? (love you so)
Can't you feel it when we touch? (when we touch)
I will never, never let you go (let you go)
I love you, oh, so much (oh, so much, oh, so much)
You can dance (you can dance)
Go and carry on
Till the night is gone
And it's time to go (time to go)
If he asks (if he asks)
If you're all alone,
Can he take you home,
You must tell him no (tell him no)
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be (gonna be)
So, darlin', save the last dance for me
I just came back from a lovely trip along the Milky Way
Stopped off at the North Pole to spend a holiday
I called on dear old Santa Claus
To see what I could see
He took me to his workshop
And told his plans to me. So
[Chorus]
You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He's making a list and checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin to town
He sees you when you're sleepin'
He knows when you're a wake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
Oh! You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Santa Claus is comin' to town
And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a Toyland all around the Christmas
tree
So! You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin to town
Now Santa is a busy man, He has no time to play
He's got millions of stockings to fill on Christmas day
You'd better write your letter now
And mail it right away
Because he's getting ready
His reindeers and his sleigh. So
[Chorus]
With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Santa Claus is comin' to town
And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a Toyland all around the Christmas
tree
So! You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Why must I love you so much?
Sandy, I long for your touch
A better luck the next time Sandy

But I'd crawl back if I could
Why must I love you so much?

Rockin' around the Christmas tree at the Christmas
party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see every couple tries to
stop
Rockin' around the Christmas tree let the Christmas
spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie and we'll do some
caroling
You will get a sentimental feeling, when you hear
voices singing
"Let's be jolly, deck the halls with boughs of holly"
Rockin' around the Christmas tree, have a happy holiday
Everyone's dancing merrily in the new old-fashioned
way, hey
You will get a sentimental feeling, when you hear
voices singing
"Let's be jolly, deck the halls with boughs of holly"
Rockin' around the Christmas tree at the Christmas
party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see every couple tries to
stop
Rocking around the Christmas tree have a happy holiday
Everyone's dancing merrily in the new old-fashioned way
Rocking around the Christmas tree have a happy holiday
Purple haze
Running through my brain
Somehow, people, lately
Things don't seem the same
I'm acting funny
And found the reason why
Excuse me while
I kiss the sky
Purple haze
Now it's coming all around
Don't know whether of if
I'm coming up or down
Somebody, am I happy
Or am I in misery
Whatever it is
She put a spell on me
Put a spell on me
Dear, I thought I’d drop a line
The weather’s cool, the folks are fine
I’m in bed each night at nine
PS I love you
Yesterday we had some rain
But all in all, I can’t complain
Was it dusty on the train?
PS I love you
Write to the Browns
Just as soon as you’re able
They came around to call
I burned a hole in the dining room table
Now let me see, I guess that’s all
Nothing else for me to say
And so I’ll close now but, by the way
Everybody’s thinking of you
PS I love you
Write to the Browns
Just as soon as you’re able
They came around to call
Oh yes, I burned a hole in the dining room table
Now let me see, I guess that’s all
Nothing else for me to say
And so I’ll close but darling, by the way
Everybody’s thinking of you

I wanna see something that used to be in your eyes again
E C#m F#m B
I'm waitin' to see it, you know it's only a question of
when

'Cause I know how much you're missin'
Whenever you know that it's missin

And only you know where you have been to

Only you know what you have been through

But there's better things you're gonna get into

And I wanna be there too
I know it's not easy for you to start to believe again
And when the day comes don't let yourself be deceived
again
Cause I know that you've been waiting,
Oh sun is shining, oh happy day
No more troubles, no skies of gray)
("Oh po-pe-doo" throughout verses after above 2 lines)
The sun is shinin', oh happy day
No more troubles, no blue skies of gray
Ever since, dear, you said those words to me
(Oh sun is shining, oh happy day
No more troubles, no skies of gray)
The moon is shinin', oh happy night
Come to me, darlin', & make things all right
Oh happy day, wo love give me
(Oh sun is shining, oh happy day
No more troubles, no skies of gray)
[Instrumental]
Oh sun is shining, oh happy day
No more troubles, no skies of gray
Ever since, dear, you said those words to me
(Repeat, Fade...]
(Oh sun is shining, oh happy day
No one knows what I go through
And the tears I cried for you
And when I smile, it's just a pose
My heart is breaking but no one knows
Friends won't learn the truth from me
I don't want their sympathy
You go to parties, dances and shows
I still love you but no one knows
Maybe some how, some time, some where
You'll walk by and hear my prayer
My loneliness will fade away
Darling please tell me you'll stay
But if you should pass me by
I'll be hurt but I won't cry
And though my love for you still grows
The very thought of you makes my heart sing
Like an April breeze on the wings of spring,
And you appear in all your splendor,
My one and only love.
The shadows fall and spread their mystic charms
In the hush of night while you're in my arms.
I feel your lips, so warm and tender,
My one and only love.
The touch of your hand is like heaven,
A heaven that I've never known.
The blush on your cheek whenever I speak
Tells me that you are my own.
You fill my eager heart with such desire.
Ev'ry kiss you give sets my soul on fire.
I give myself in sweet surrender,
Well, my baby, don't stand no cheating, my babe
Well, my baby, don't stand no cheating, my babe
Well, my babe, don't stand no cheating
She don't, she don't, she don't, oh, Lord
My babe, I know she loves me, my babe
Well, now my babe, I know she loves me, my babe
Yeah, my baby, I know she loves me, my babe
Well, my baby, I know she loves me
She don't do nothing but kiss and hug me
My babe, I know she loves me, my babe
Oh my, my baby
(Oh baby)
Oh my, my baby
(Oh baby)
Oh my, my baby
(Oh baby)
Oh my, my baby
Well, well, my babe, I know she loves
She don't, she don't, she don't, [unverified]
My babe, I know she loves me, my babe
Oh my, my baby
(Oh baby)
Oh my, my baby
(Oh baby)
Oh my, my baby
(Oh baby)
Oh my, my baby
Well, well, my babe, I know she loves
My babe, I know she loves me, my babe
Oh my, my baby

Oh my, my baby
(Oh baby)
Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Through nights of irresponsibility and a lack of self-
control
I feared the friends I ran with, but I loved to live
the role
Five of us in Levi jeans who passed on basketball
We all lived on Presley's 45s and were beckoned to the
call
Every night was Halloween when they picked me up at
eight
We raced the moon to madness before midnight made our
fate
Drinking beer and smoking burned-Out butts till the
Camels killed our lungs
The liquor sent us spinning out and brought a thickness
to our tongues.
Chorus:
Roamin' in the halls
Rackin' up the balls
Climbln' up the walls
Don't you hear the calls
Lookin' for a place to hang
The Midtown American Main Street Gang
An afternoon of boredom was cured by a quarter and a
Stealing things form the counter top when there was
nothing else to do
Bobby knocked up Sheri, we ushered him out one day
And Dave and Johnny took the buddy system and they went
the Army way
Two stolen cars took Larry, he got three to five for
each
I came to grips with growin' up, but it's still too far
to reach
The memory's old and the story's told in all the songs
that Presley sang
Are you puttin' me on, is the DA gone, like the Midtown
American Main Street Gang?
When she kissed me I was born and she said goodbye
And I knew right away I was born to cry
Now I'm happy and the joke's on her
Cause I found that place for lover's who wander
She took my love, said she's not comin back
So my world and my sky was all turnin black
Now I see the light, I'm wise to her
Cause I found that place for lovers who wander
A walkin around thinkin about her
Never thought I could live without her
She broke my heart, I really showed it
Look at me now, you'd never know it
Now my story can be told with a smiling face
I'm the luckiest guy in the human race
My dreams have gone for her
Cause I found that place for lover's who wander
Wo wo wo yeah, she took my love you see
Yeah, she doesn't bother me
Yeah I found that place to be
Yeah, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Yeah walkin around thinkin about her
I never thought I could live without her
She broke my heart, I really showed it
Look at me now, you'd never know it
Now my story can be told with a smiling face
I'm the luckiest guy in the human race
All my lovin dreams have gone for her
Cause I found that place for lover's who wander
You know I gassed her up, I'm behind the wheel
With my arm around my baby In my Oldsmobile
And I'm cruisin' down the boulevard, looking for the
heart of Saturday night,
I got paid on Friday and my pockets they're jingling
The bright lights of the city. I feel all a-tingling
And I'm moving down the boulevard looking for the heart
of Saturday night.
Take my arm
Looking for the heart of Saturday night.
Put on your light French jeans
Sweet baby blue
Oo Ia Ia, here's looking at you
Moving down the boulevard looking at the heart of
Saturday night.
You know I combed my hair and shaved my face
I want to wipe out every trace
Of all the other days in the week Tins gonna be the one
night I be reacinn' my peak.
Stop on the red
Pick up on the green
I'm gonna be the something you ain't never seen, babe
Barrelling down the boulevard looking for the heart of
Saturday night.
Take my arm
Moving down the boulevard looking for the heart of
Saturday night.
Is It the crack of the pool balls?
Is it the neon buzzin'?
Is it the jazz man playing?
Is it my second cousin?
The bar maid is smiling in the corner of her eye
Is it the melancholy tear that I see in her eye?
It makes me kind of quiver down in the corn
Thinking of the Saturdays that have gone down before
Moving on down the, boulevard looking for the heart of
Saturday night
Moving on down the boulevard looking for the heart of
Saturday night ,
(Doo-doo-wah's by backup singers, wo's by Dion)
I'm just a fool searchin' for someone to care
I've searched the whole world over, but you don't hear my
prayer
Wo yeah (searching for my love)
Uh huh (girl I'm dreaming of)
Oh in my lonely world (lonely world, lonely world)
Wo I'm tired of bein' lonely; I want someone to love
No matter who's beside me, it's you I'm thinkin' of
Wo yeah (searching for my love)
Uh huh (girl I'm dreaming of)
Oh in my lonely world (lonely world, lonely world)
Wo you know my world kind of falls apart
'Cause you love someone else
Yeah my heart, my soul, my whole world was you
You mean more than life itself
No one will ever know, dear, the suff'ring I go through
I suffer most of all 'cause I can't stop loving you
Wo yeah (searching for my love)
Uh huh (girl I'm dreaming of)
Oh in my lonely world (lonely world, lonely world)

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell rock
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
This jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Oh, giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That’s the jingle bell, that’s the jingle bell
Diane...Down deep inside I cry
Diane...Without your love I'd die
Diane...You know you drive me wild...Diane
You're such a little evil child ya ya ya
Ya, I wanna pack and leave and slap your face
Bad girls like you are a disgrace
A way down deep inside I cry
Without you little Diane I'd die
I should drag you down 'cause you're no good
You're two-faced, your heart's made of wood
A way down deep inside I cry
Without you little Diane I'd die
Listen to my heart
Oh you're tearin' it apart
Oh why don't you understand
Why don't you stop it! stop it!
Stop it if you can
I want to spread the news that you're untrue
But Diane what good would it do
'Cause way down deep inside I cry
Without you little Diane I'd die, I'd die
Ya! Don't you understand Diane
I said ya, ya, ya
I said listen to the beat
Oh I feel it in my feet
Now it's my heart Diane
Why don't you stop it! stop it!
Stop it if you can
I want to spread the news that you're untrue
But Diane what good would it do
'Cause way down deep inside I cry
Without you little Diane I'd die, I'd die
Every kiss I ever kissed you
Darling, came from my heart
But your love was just a play
And the things I heard you say
Were all a part
Of the kissing game
(The kissing game)
The kissing game
(The kissing game)
Yeah, the game, baby
Where you just played at love
Oh, you never really loved me
Though you kissed me each night
You were looking for some fun
And I guess just anyone
To hold you tight
In the kissing game
(The kissing game)
Mmm, the kissing game
(The kissing game)
Yeah, a game, baby
Where you just played at love
Don't you know you
Shouldn't go with some guy
Just because he looks
Good to the crowd
Use his love for a stepping stone
Baby, don't feel proud
Because some day you're gonna cry
When you meet someone who
Will pour water on your flame
And play the kissing game
Mmm, with you
Don't you know you
Shouldn't go with some guy
Just because he looks
Good to the crowd
Use his love for a stepping stone
Baby, now, don't you feel proud
He'll pour water on your flame
And play the kissing game with you
Ah, the kissing game
The kissing game
Ah, that kissing game
I've got diamonds, pearls, I've got dancing girls,
It's all because I'm a king.
People bow before me and the world ignores me
But I don't have everything.
I'm a king, a king without a queen.
I sit here alone way up on my throne
With my crown held high.
But I need a girl who will share my world
And stay with me till I die.
I'm a king, a king without a queen.
I said a king is just a man if he is here all alone.
A man can be a king if he has love of his own.
Though I have everything a rich man will die
You are much happier than I
So don't envy me all these things you see
Just because I'm a king.
What I need so much is a lovin' touch,
It would mean everything.
She's a kind of friend
She don't ask me where I'm goin
She don't ask me where I've been
Oh she knows I can't be led
We live as 2, gettin' 2 souls fed
Well she's a kickin' child
Gee it's a cold 100, a little girl goes so wild
Well she don't want no lies
She don't change to daylight savings time, no she don't
She's satisfied just to be till we say goodbye
'Cause she's a kickin' child
Gee it's a cold 100, a little girl goes so wild
Well you kind of women tryin' to get control of me
Trample me down like a wild rag queen
All that powder, perfume & paint
Makes me think you are what you ain't
My baby don't hop on me
Don't try to ruin a fool, she just leaves me be
Oh she does somethin' to my heart
Well she's a rollin' stone & tears me all apart
She's a kickin' child
Gee it's a cold 100, a little girl goes so wild
With a smile, goes so wild
(instrumental)
Well you kind of women tryin' to call you joy
By usin' your man for your whippin' boy
I'm gonna tell you babies, there'll come a day
You're gonna run up a bill your head can't pay
My baby don't hop on me
She knows I'm here, she just leaves me be
Oh she does somethin' to my heart
She's a rollin' stone & tears me all apart
But he's a kickin' child
Oh it's a cold 100, a little girl goes so wild
Kansas City with a friend of mine
We loved the women and we had a good time
Then the trouble started with the gun
Kansas City with a friend of mine
We drank some whiskey and we really felt fine
Then we started leaving on the run.
Hey Ho Yippeeiayay
He shot up Kansas City on a very fine day
Hey Ho Yippeeiayay
He shot up Kansas City on a very fine day
He shot up Kansas City on a very fine day
He shot up Kansas City on a very fine day
Kansas City with a friend of mine
We loved for a dollar and we drank for a dime
Now I'm headin' down to Santa Fe
Kansas City with a friend of mine
We left too late cut it mighty fine
Texas seemed the safest place to be.
Hey Ho Yippeeiayay
He shot up . . .
Kansas City with a friend of mine
It started rainin' turned the mud to slime
Now I'm headin' straight through Tennessee
Kansas City with a friend of mine
Now I'm headin' straight down the line
Nothin' more in Kansas left for me
Hey Ho Yippeeiayay
In the still of the night as I gaze from my window
At the moon in its flight, my thoughts all stray to you
In the still of the night while the world is in slumber
Oh, the times without number, darling, when I say to you:
"Do you love me as I love you?
Are you my life-to-be, my dream come true?"
Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight
Like the moon growing dim on the rim of the hill
Don't know why I
Love you like I do
Don't know why I do
Don't know why I love you
Don't know why I care
I just want your love to share
I wonder why I
Love you like I do
Is it because I
Think you love me too
I wonder why I love you
Like I do, like I do
I told my friends
That we would never part
They often said that
You would break my heart
I wonder why they think that
We will part, we will part
When you're with me
I'm sure you're always true
When I'm away, I wonder what you do
I wonder why I'm sure you're
Always true, always true
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine I walk the line
I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine I walk the line
As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine I walk the line
You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine I walk the line
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine I walk the line
Because you're mine I walk the line
I saw mommy kissing santa claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night
She didnt see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peep
She thought that I was tucked up
In my bedroom, fast asleep
Then I saw mommy tickle santa claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If daddy had only seen
Well, I wonder, what's exactly the matter
Child you know the time
Seemed like an hour
Everything had changed
But I hold up my head
Girl, I'm just trying to make you understand
Well now, everybody tell me
Somebody hoodoo'd the hoodoo man
Well now, I buzzed your bell this morning
You had your elevator run slow
I buzzed your bell in, woman
Take me on the third floor
Well, I hold up my head
Girl, I'm just trying to make you understand
Well now, everybody tell me
Somebody hoodoo'd the hoodoo man
Well, I buzzed your bell this morning
You had your elevator run slow
I buzzed your bell in, woman
Take me on the third floor
I hold up my head
Girl, I'm just trying to make you understand
Well now, everybody tell me
Somebody hoodoo'd the hoodoo man
Well, I wonder, what's exactly the matter
Child you know the time
Seemed like an hour
Everything had changed
I hold up my head
Girl, I'm just trying to make you understand
Well now, everybody tell me
Holly Brown, Holly Brown,
Tell me, is the world really round?
Holly Brown, Holly Brown,
Is the world really round?
Every time you kiss me baby,
I come ten feet off the ground.
Holly Brown, Holly Brown,
Tell me why do bluebirds really fly?
Holly Brown, Holly Brown,
Do bluebirds really fly?
Every time you look at me baby,
I want to lay right down and die.
You know I want one thing baby
You gotta understand.
I want to get close to you
Anyway I can.
Holly Brown, little girl,
Lips as soft as summer breeze.
When God made you
He was really pleased.
[Instrumental break]
Little girl, Holly Brown,
You know the D train goes downtown.
Holly Brown, Holly Brown,
You know the D train runs downtown.
You got a hold on me baby
Even when you're not around.
[Instrumental break]
Holly Brown, Holly Brown,
Do the bluebirds really fly?
Holly Brown, Holly Brown,
Tell me the bluebird really flies.
Every time you look at me baby,
Life is so strange
With it's up and downs
And today's hero
May be tomorrow's clown
Friends keep on telling me
That I'm a fool to be
So in love while
You're just having fun
I'll spend each lonely night
Longing to hold you tight
Morning finds me
Crying to the sun
But I'll find somebody new
And I'll get over you
Then my broken heart
Will hurt no more
Someday you'll realize
I was the one
Then you'll be crying
While I'm having fun
You know
Someday you're gonna realize
That I was the one
Then you'll be crying
I'm gettin' older day by day
It's comin' time to break away
So many things I want to do
On my own, I'm gonna make it alone, 'lone, 'lone
I'm gonna get myself a car
I'll travel near, I'll travel far
Just like the men I'll be free
On my own, I'm gonna make it alone, 'lone, 'lone
Wo wo wo yeah now
Wo wo wo yeah
Wo wo wo wo
Wo wo wo wo
I'll find a town to hang around
I'll be the man to shake my hand
The girls you find will all be mine
I'll make some money in a rush...yeah, be too much
I'm gonna get out of this place right now
It's gonna change my luck somehow
I'm gonna leave with no goodbyes
On my own, I'm gonna make it alone, 'lone, 'lone
Wo wo wo wo
Yeah yeah yeah yeah now
Wo wo wo wo
Wo wo wo wo
I'll find a town to hang around
I'll be the man to shake my hand
The girls you find will all be mine
I'll make some money in a rush...yeah, be too much
[Fade]
Fools rush in
Where angels fear to tread
And so i come to you my love
My heart above my head
Though i see
The danger there
If theres a chance for me
Then i dont care
Fools rush in
Where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love
So how are they to know
When we met
I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let
This fool rush in
When we met
I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let
Darling, there's something I've got to say
[Instrumental (Electric Slide Guitar)]
Drop down mama let your daddy see
You got something down there that keeps on worryin' me
But my mama don't allow me to fool around
"Son you're too young now some woman might put you down"
Go away from my window stop scratchin' 'round my screen
So evil woman and I know what you mean
And my mama don't allow me to fool around
She's sayin' "Son you're too young now some woman might
put you down" Oh ...
[Instrumental (Organ + Electric Slide Guitar)]
I got three women livin' on the same damn road
One does my, my cookin' my washin' one pays my room and
my board
And my mama don't allow me to fool around
"Son you're too young now some woman might put you down"
I say drop down mama let your daddy see
You got something down there that keeps worryin' me
And my mama don't allow me, me to fool, me to fool around
She's sayin' "Son you're too young now some woman "
"Oh, son you're too young some woman"
Every night I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms
And know the magic of her charms
'Cause I want
A girl
To call
My own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Dream lover, where are you
With a love, oh, so true
And the hand that I can hold
To feel you near as I grow old
'Cause I want
A girl
To call
My own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Someday, I don't know how
I hope she'll hear my plea
Some way, I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me
Dream lover, until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
Till all my lover's dreams come true
'Cause I want
A girl
To call
My own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Dream lover, until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
Till all my lover's dreams come true
'Cause I want
A girl
To call
My own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Please don't make me dream alone
I beg you don't make me dream alone
Sweet dream baby

Won't you turn my dream to real?

I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees.
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees.
Asked the lord above for mercy, save me if you please.
I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride.
I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride.
Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by.
I'm going down to rosedale, take my rider by my side.
I'm going down to rosedale, take my rider by my side.

The snow's coming down
I'm watching it fall
Watching the people around
Baby please come home
The church bells in town
They're ringing a song
What a happy sound
Baby please come home
They're singing deck the halls
But it's not like Christmas at all
I remember when you were here
All the fun we had last year
Pretty lights on the tree
I'm watching them shine
You should be here with me
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
They're singing deck the halls
But it's not like christmas at all
I remember when you were here
All the fun we had last year
If there was a way
I'd hold back these tears
But it's Christmas day
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Bye, bye love, bye, bye happiness, hello loneliness
I think I'm a gonna cry
Bye, bye love, bye, bye sweet caress, hello emptiness
I feel like I could die, bye, bye my love, goodbye
There goes my baby with someone new
She sure looks happy, I sure am blue
She was my baby till he stepped in
Goodbye to romance that might have been
Bye, bye love, bye, bye happiness, hello loneliness
I think I'm a gonna cry
Bye, bye love, bye, bye sweet caress, hello emptiness
I feel like I could die, bye, bye my love, goodbye
I'm a through with romance, I'm through with love
I'm through with countin' the stars above
And here's the reason that I'm so free
My lovin' baby is through with me
Bye, bye love, bye, bye happiness, hello loneliness
I think I'm a gonna cry
Bye, bye love, bye, bye sweet caress, hello emptiness
I feel like I could die, bye, bye my love, goodbye
Bye, bye love, bye, bye happiness, hello loneliness
I think I'm a gonna cry
Bye, bye love, bye, bye sweet caress, hello emptiness
I feel like I could die, bye, bye my love, goodbye
I was born in the Bronx on a strong day
I guess you can say
The beat in the street, the streetcar sound
The singin' in the moonlight, the pure light
The harmony's tight
Informed we can fight
We got heart
And for [unintelligible]
Yo, when I'm inside a song
I'm strong, I can't go wrong, It's where I belong
Come along, it's good, it's bad
Who said it was perfect
Only God is perfect
Only God is good
Man He blessed me beyond my wildest dreams
I can sing from the highest mountain
I can sing from the highest rooftop
I'm talkin' life, I'm talkin' beauty
Truth, love, hate, scammin', lyin', dyin'
Yo, life is hard
But life is the art
It's better to be clean than to be cluttered
Clean of soul, that is
My God is the Creator, not a dictator,
He's the life-giving lover,
My Father, no other, my brother, my best friend
Never lied to me, even died for me
Life is good
We're talkin' you
We're talkin' sweet Sue
We're talkin' virtue
We're talkin' faith, hope, love, wisdom,
Courage, honesty, patience
Then there's blue skies,
There's miracles
There's families and babies and crazies
Changes you won't believe
I got aces up my sleeve
And God keeps blessin' me
In spite of me
He's the best
If I didn't know me I'd be impressed.
I don't wanna underestimate what He can do in my life
He brought me you in my life
He brought me through all this strife
Everybody here, we've been through it all
Real joy, closeness, distance, journey, the ups, the downs
The issues, the tissues, the drugs, the thugs, the drinkin', the stinkin' thinkin',
Throw up, grow up
Tears, fears, torn, mourn, reborn
Yo! Hallelujah!
I've never been the same, took away my shame
I used to play the blame game
How lame
Man I got a wife who drives me sane
Here I am authentic, genuine, a truth-teller, no bullshit
Don't have a fit,
God's on His throne
He's in control
Heroes, villains, king, queens, saints, sinners,
James Dean, Norma Jean, mmm vanilla ice cream
Elvis, Buddy, Hank
Honky-tonk blues guitars, cars, bars
Yo! Stand proud, rock around
Do-wop, be-bop, rock-and-roll, good for the soul
The Yankees, JFK,
I did it my way, rock and roll is here to stay
Ain't that the truth
Martin Luther King
Say what you mean, mean what you say, but don't be mean
I have a dream, he paid his dues, king of the delta blues
Elvis Aaron Presley played that thing,
Rock and roll king,
I ride with the King of kings
He brought me through, thanks to you, and you and you.
Man I'm glad we've got each other,
No doubt about that, that's where it's at
With great love and affection
The kid from the Bronx
Blue Monday, how I hate blue Monday
Have to work like a slave all day
Here comes Tuesday, oh, hard Tuesday
I'm so tired I've got no time to play
Here comes Wednesday, I'm beat to my socks
My gal calls, got to tell her that I'm out
'Cause Thursday is a hard working day
And Friday I get my pay
Saturday morning, oh Saturday morning
All my tiredness has gone away
Got my money and my honey
And I'm out on the stem to play
Sunday morning my head is bad
Well, be-bop-a-lula, she's my baby
Be-bop-a-lula, I don't mean maybe
Be-bop-a-lula, she's my baby
Be-bop-a-lula, I don't mean maybe
Be-bop-a-lula, she is my baby doll
My baby doll, my baby doll
Well, she's the woman in the red blue jeans
She's the queen of all my dreams
She's the one that walks around the store
She's the girl that give me more, more, more love
Be-bop-a-lula, she's my baby
Be-bop-a-lula, I don't mean maybe
Be-bop-a-lula, she is my baby doll
My baby doll, my baby doll
Well, be-bop-a-lula, she's my baby
Be-bop-a-lula, I don't mean maybe
Be-bop-a-lula, she's my baby
Be-bop-a-lula, I don't mean maybe
Be-bop-a-lula, she is my baby doll
My baby doll, my baby doll
Well, she's the woman that's got that beat
She's the woman with the flying feet
She's the one that walks around my door
She's the girl that give me more, more, more love
Be-bop-a-lula, she's my baby
Be-bop-a-lula, I don't mean maybe
Be-bop-a-lula, she is my baby doll
My baby doll, my baby doll
Well, be-bop-a-lula, she's my baby
Be-bop-a-lula, I don't mean maybe
Be-bop-a-lula, she's my baby
Be-bop-a-lula, I don't mean maybe
Be bop a-lula, she is my baby doll
We're goin' up, we're goin' down
We're goin' up, down down up
Any way you wanna let it roll
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You got me doin' what you want me
Oh baby what you want me to do
You got me peepin' you got me hidin'
You got me peep hide hide peep
Any way you wanna let it roll
Yeah yeah yeah
You got me doin what you want me
While the traffic light blinks
I'm inside and I'm gettin' a drink
Not knowing what awaits me
When I walk outside
I'm tryin' to score, I got my eye
On some shapely baby by the door
Before I get outside
She's already got my money
Chorus::
Try not to take It so hard dude
She a pretty and quick
But she sure wasn't rude
Go back where you came from boys
What you tryin' to do?
ALL OUIET On 34th STREET
You didn't score but you sure got beat
ALL OUIET On 34th STREET
Losin' ain't fun specially when you cheat
Meanwhile back In my room
I'm Gettin' caught up in my own gloom
Sleepin' In a chair
Wonderin' where the hell you are
I'm goin' back down to the bar
Gonna ask the man for some liquor in the jar
I ain't foolin' nobody but myself
Each time we have a quarrel
It almost breaks my heart
'Cause I'm so afraid
That we will have to part
Each night I ask
The stars up above
Why must I be
A teenager in love?
One day I feel so happy
Next day I feel so sad
I guess, I'll learn to take
The good with the bad
'Cause each night I ask
The stars up above
Why must I be
A teenager in love?
I cried a tear
For nobody but you
I'll be a lonely one, if you
Should say we're through
Well, if you want to make me cry
That won't be so hard to do
And if you should say goodbye
I'll still go on loving you
Each night I ask
The stars up above
Why must I be
A teenager in love?
I cried a tear
For nobody but you
I'll be a lonely one, if you
Should say we're through
Well, if you want to make me cry
That won't be so hard to do
And if you should say goodbye
I'll still go on loving you
Each night I ask
The stars up above
Why must I be
A teenager in love?
Why must I be
A teenager in love?
(In love)
Why must I be
A teenager in love?
(In love)
Why must I be
I'm walking down this track,
I've got tears in my eyes,
Trying to read a letter from my home.
If this train runs me right
I'll be home tomorrow night.
I'm nine hundred miles from my home.
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.
I'll pawn you my watch
And I'll pawn you my chain;
Pawn you my gold diamond ring.
If this train runs me right
I'll be home tomorrow night.
I'm nine hundred miles from my home.
Yesterday somehow slipped by me
It died like an old forgotten friend
Didn't I just turn sixteen In May
Now thirty-five's just around the bend
I throw the dice in all of the alleys
C'mon baby, let 'em roll
And boys, If you weren't from Flatbush
Jack, you didn't have any soul
I used to be a Brooklyn Dodger
But I ain't a hitter anymore
You know I had a reputation
I loved to hear the home crowd roar
You know I never had a nickel
Just my freedom, girl, and the time
And now all I have Is a memory
Of a street dodger in in hid prime
Now Haley's comets are remembered
as flash across the sky
And if I had my leather jacket
I swear I'd give it all another try
I used to be a Brooklyn Dodger
But I ain't a hitter anymore
You know I had a reputation
I loved to hear the home crowd roar
I used to be a Brooklyn Dodger
I've been away now
I just can't wait now
I got your letters -
and I read between each line
I've been praying
that you'll be waiting
So just remember -
I'm gonna make you mine
Refrain:
I'm gonna drive all night
till the morning light
I'm gonna roll till dawn
with the windows down
and the radio on
You know I'd drive all night
just to hold you tight
We're gonna be so free
just me for you and you for me
I've been dreamin'
and I've been seamin'
just to see you -
'cause you're my one desire
You're the reason
my arms are open
Your sweet emotion
sets my heart on fire
Refrain:
I'm gonna drive all night...
Bridge:
Girl I should have known better - I nearly let you go
if I'd had my way
Woulda make you mine a long time ago
A little understanding - just a little bit of love
would go a long long way
let me show you what I'm thinking of
Solo
Oh well I'm the type of guy who will never settle down
Where pretty girls are well, you know that I'm around
I kiss 'em and I love'em 'cause to me they're all the
same
I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em they don't even know my
name
They call me the wanderer yeah the wanderer
I roam around around around...
Oh well there's Flo on my left and there's Mary on my
right
And Janie is the girl with that I'll be with tonight
And when she asks me which one I love the best
I tear open my shirt I got Rosie on my chest
'Cause I'm the wanderer yeah the wanderer
I roam around around around...
Oh well I roam from town to town
I go through life without a care
'Til I'm as happy as a clown
With my two fists of iron and I'm going nowhere
I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around
I'm never in one place I roam from town to town
And when I find myself a-fallin' for some girl
I hop right into that car of mine and ride around the
world
Yeah I'm the wanderer yeah the wanderer
I roam around around around...
Oh yeah I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around
I'm never in one place I roam from town to town
And when I find myself a-fallin' for some girl
I hop right into that car of mine and ride around the
world
Yeah 'cause I'm a wanderer yeah a wanderer
I roam around around around...
'Cause I'm a wanderer yeah a wanderer
You've awakened something in me
I never knew existed
I'd like to crawl inside you
To feel all that you believe
You found the music in me
The melody will play on
And I can hear your heart beat
A thousand miles away
Chorus:
You know I bet like I've been lifted high
Through the wind and clouds to touch the sky
I feel like I can fly
You're a child, yet you're a woman, babe
'Tween innocence and passion
Come here and lay beside me I cant leave your love
alone
Lisa, you've captured me
Made my dream realty
Repeat Chorus
The years that lie between us
They're like corridors unlighted
The torch that I am holding
I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire, I got a
cobra snake for a necktie
A brand new house on the road side, and it's a-made out
of rattlesnake hide
Got a band new chimney put on top, and it's a-made out
of human skull
Come on take a little walk with me baby, and tell me
who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Around the town I use a rattlesnake whip, take it easy
baby don't you give me no lip
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
I've got a tombstone hand and a graveyard mind, I'm
just twenty-two and I don't mind dying
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Now Arlene took a-me by my hand, she said "Lonesome
George you don't understand,
who do you love?"
The night were dark and the sky were blue, down the
alleyway a house wagon flew
Hit a bump and somebody screamed, you should've heard
what I'd seen
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Yeah, I've got a tombstone hand in a graveyard mine,
just twenty-two baby I don't mind dying
Snake skin shoes baby put them on your feet, got the
goodtime music and the Bo Diddley beat
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire, I got a
cobra snake for a necktie
A brand new house on the road side, and it's made out
of rattlesnake hide
Got a band new chimney put on top, and it's made out of
human skull
Come on take a little walk with me child, tell me who
do you love?
Who do you love?
Turn me loose, turn me loose I say
This is the first time I have felt this way
Gonna get a thousand kicks or kiss a thousand chicks
So turn me loose
Turn me loose, turn me loose I say
Gonna rock'n'roll long as the band's gonna play
Gonna holler, gonna shout, gonna knock myself right out
So turn me loose (turn me loose, ooh-ahh)
I've got some change in my pocket and I'm rarin' to go
Takin' some chick-a to the picture show
And when I see her home and we kiss goodnight
Well, turn me loose, turn me loose, turn me loose, turn
me loose
Turn me loose, turn me loose I say
Yes, today is gonna, is gonna be the day
I want you all to understand, now I am a man
So turn me loose (turn me loose, ooh-ahh)
I've got some change in my pocket and I'm rarin' to go
Takin' some chick-a to the picture show
And when I see her home and we kiss goodnight
Well, turn me loose, turn me loose, turn me loose, turn
me loose
Turn me loose, turn me loose I say
Yes, today is gonna, is gonna be the day
I want you all to understand, now I am a man
Lord, I've been so unhappy everywhere I go
There's nowhere, no place that I know I can find
Peace for my troubled mind
I took a boat to China, drifted, drifted to Mexico
But nowhere, no place can I ever ever ever find
Peace for my troubled mind
But I had, I had me a girl, she didn't stay long
She left me walkin' in the rain
Oh, how I loved my girl, ah but she did me so wrong
She left me with troubles and pain
Oh Lord, I'm so tired, tired of travelin'
Wherever four winds blow
There's just nowhere
No place that I could find
Peace for my, my troubled mind
Oh, peace for my troubled mind
Oh, little girl of mine, gee, you sure look fine
Yes, you appeal to me, woah yeah, I'll never set you free
'Cause you're my lovin' baby till the end of time
I can't seem to get you off my mind, woah yeah, my baby
The boys will roll their eyes as we go strollin' by
It's not so hard to see, woah yeah, that they all envy me
'Cause you're my lovin' baby, you belong to me
That's the way it was meant to be, woah yeah, my baby
Oh well, now I know, I love you so
And I'll never, I'll never let you go
Only I need your love, oh so much
That I thrill to your touch
Oh baby, now I know, I love you so
And I'll never, I'll never let you go
I need your love but it's so much
That I thrill to your touch
So little girl, stay true, that's all I ask of you
Be mine and mine alone, woah yeah, don't leave your happy home
'Cause I love you, baby, and I always will
You're my one and only thrill, woah yeah, my baby
People, don't you worry, I know what I'm doin'
I know what love's all about
Oh this little girl won't make a fool out of me
Because I'm gonna straighten her out
Oh yeah
Oh this little girl is just about as mean as they come, she is now
She don't even act nice, once in a while like some, oh yeah
Oh, oh, oh, 'Trouble' is her middle name
But I'm glad that's the way she came
I could be the one to tame this little girl, oh yeah
Oh this little girl won't like me much at first, she won't now
And after a while she's gonna think that I'm the worst, oh yeah
Well I won't treat her with kid gloves and I won't shower her with lots of love
But I'll make an angel of this little girl
Oh this little girl tries to make every guy her slave, oh yeah
But this little man is gonna take her by the hand
And I'm gonna show her the way to behave
Oh this little girl is kinda used to gettin' her way, but no more now
There'll gonna be some changes made startin' today
Oh, oh I said now everyone will be surprised when I cut her down to size
And no one's gonna recognize my little girl
I tell you again now
This little girl, I'm a man now
This little girl, I'll tell you again now
My tears are fallin' cause you've taken her away
And through it really hurts me so
There's something that I gotta say
Take good care of my baby
Please don't ever make her blue
Just tell her that you love her
Make sure you're thinking of her
In everything you say and do
Take good care of my baby
Now don't you ever make her cry
Just let your love surround her
Don't let her see a cloudy sky
Once upon a time that little girl was mine
If I'd been true I know she'd never be with you, so
Take good care of my baby
Be just as kind as you can be
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me
Take good care of my baby
Please don't ever make her blue
Just tell her that you love her
Make sure you're thinking of her
In everything you say and do
Take good care of my baby
Now don't you ever make her cry
Just let your love surround her
Don't let her see a cloudy sky
Once upon a time that little girl was mine
If I'd been true I know she'd never be with you, so
Take good care of my baby
Be just as kind as you can be
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me
Oh take good care of my baby, take good care of my baby
I'ma gonna raise a fuss, I'ma gonna raise a holler
About workin' all summer just to tryna make a dollar
Every time I call my baby tryna get a date my boss says
"No dice son, you gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Oh well, my mom and pop told me, "Son you gotta make some money
If you want to use the car to go ridin' next Sunday"
Well, I didn't go to work, I told the boss that I was sick
"No, you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
I'ma gonna take a week, I'ma gonna have me a vacation
I'ma take my problem to the United Nations
Well, I told my congressman and he said quote
"I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
I'ma gonna raise a fuss, I'ma gonna raise a holler
About workin' all summer just to tryna make a dollar
Every time I call my baby tryna get a date my boss says
"No dice son, you gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder, what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues, no, no
I'm just a somebody nobody wants
(Nobody wants me) nobody wants me
Everybody that I see
Seems to have someone but me
Arm in arm they walk along
Why does life treat me so wrong?
Wish somebody wanted me
Because I just don't wanna be
Another somebody nobody wants
(Nobody wants)
Saturday's another night
Just like any other night
Everybody's feelin' great
Everybody's got a date
All of them have fun but me
Why why why must I be
Just another somebody nobody wants
(Nobody wants)
Feel like my heart's about to breakI'm so sad
I want a girl to love meI want her bad
I sit up in my lonely room
Somethin's gotta happen soon
Wond'rin' why I'm all alone
Want somebody of my own
Someone who will care a lot
Someone who will prove I'm not
Another somebody nobody wants
(Nobody wants)
Feel like my heart's about to breakI'm so sad
I want a girl to love meI want her bad
I sit up in my lonely room
Somethin's gotta happen soon
Wond'rin' why I'm all alone
Want somebody of my own
Someone who will care a lot
Someone who will prove I'm not
Another somebody nobody wants
(Nobody wants)
(Nobody wants me) Nobody wants me

As I walk along I wonder what went wrong
With our love, a love that was so strong
And as I still walk on I think of the things
We've done together while our hearts were young
I'm a walking in the rain, tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here with me to end this misery
And I wonder, wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder why
Why, why, why, why, why she went away
And I wonder if she will stay, my little runaway
My run, run, run, run, runaway
I'm a walking in the rain, tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here with me to end this misery
And I wonder, wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder why
Why, why, why, why, why she went away
And I wonder if she will stay, my little runaway
My run, run, run, run, runaway
I'm a walking in the rain, tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here with me to end this misery

Here's my story, it's sad but true
It's about a girl that I once knew
She took my love then ran around
With every single guy in town
I should have known it from the very start
This girl will leave me with a broken heart
Now listen people what I'm telling you
A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue, yeah
I might miss her lips and the smile on her face
The touch of her hand and this girl's warm embrace
So if you don't wanna cry like I do

She likes to travel around, yeah
She'll love you and she'll put you down
Now people let me put you wise

I fell in love and my love still grows
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say
A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue
Yeah, keep away from this girl

Keep away from Sue
She likes to travel around, yeah
She'll love you and she'll put you down
Now people let me put you wise

To wish me greetings once again.
Choirs will be singing Silent Night
Oh, Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not by Christmas then by New Year's night.
Friends and relations send salutations

Oh, but it's Christmas, yeah Christmas my dear

So won't you tell me, you'll never more roam
This Christmas and New Year will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief or pain
I'll be happy, happy once again.

O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming,
Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friends.
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!

Come on, the warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing
Let's rock, everybody let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
They were dancin' to the jailhouse rock
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
And Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang
The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang
Let's rock, everybody let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
They were dancin' to the jailhouse rock
Number forty seven said to number three
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure would be delighted with your company
Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me"
Let's rock, everybody let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
They were dancin' to the jailhouse rock
The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone
The warden said, "Hey, buddy don't you be no square
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair"
Let's rock, everybody let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
They were dancin' to the jailhouse rock
Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake
No one's lookin' now's our chance to make a break"
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix, nix
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks"
Let's rock, everybody let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
They were dancin' to the jailhouse rock
Dancin' to the jailhouse rock, dancin' to the jailhouse rock
Rock, everybody, rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
They were dancin' to the jailhouse rock
Everybody now rock, rock, everybody now rock
Dancin' to the jailhouse rock, everybody rock 'n' roll
Gypsy woman told my momma, before I was born
You got a boy-child comin', gonna be a son-of-a-gun
Gonna make these pretty women, jump and shout
And the world will only know, a-what it's all about
Y'know I'm here
Everybody knows I'm here
And I'm the hoochie-coochie man
Everybody knows I'm here
Igot a black cat bone, I got a mojo too
I got John the Conqueror, I'm gonna mess with you
I'm gonna make you, pretty girl, lead me by the hand
Then the world will know, the Hoochie-Coochie Man
Y'know I'm here
Everybody knows I'm here

She's a guitar queen she's got a movement like a power
drill
She's a guitar queen she's got a movement like a power
drill
She's the only baby I know that can strut while she's
standing still
Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear
You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night.
Ev'rybody's got the fever
That is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago
Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
And you know I'm gonna treat you right
You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night
Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said 'Julie, baby, you're my flame
Thou giv-est fever when we kisseth
Fever with the flaming youth
Fever I'm afire
Fever ye I burn for sooth'
Captain Smith and Pocahantas
Had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said 'Daddy, o, don't you dare
He gives me fever with his kisses
Fever when he holds me tight
Fever, I'm his misses,
Oh daddy, won't you treat him right'
Now you've listened to my story
Here's the point that I have made
Cats were born to give chicks fever
Be it Fahrenheit or centigrade
They give you fever when you kiss them
Fever if you live and learn
Fever 'til you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
Hey, the roof is leakin' and the rain's fallin' on my head

Well, I cried so hard, tears flowin' on my bed
(Drip drip)
On the floor
(Drippity drop)
On the rug, and on the wall
Drip drip
Drippity drop
Drip drip
Drippity drop
Drip drip

Donna, Donna the Prima Donna
Broke my heart.
We're apart.
Thinks she's smart.
I met a girl a month ago
I thought that she would love me so.
But in time I realized.
She had a pair of roving eyes.
I remember the nights we dated,
Always acting sophisticated,
Talking about high society,
Then she tried to make a fool out of me.
They call her Donna, Donna the Prima Donna
Broke my heart now.
Thinks she's smart now.
We're apart now.
Pretty little girl you're just having fun
You're running all around and breaking lover's hearts.
Pretty little girl, I don't stand a chance,
Without any money there goes our romance.
She always wears charms, diamonds, pearls galore,
She buys them at the 5 & 10 cents store.
She wants to be just like Zsa Zsa Gabor,
Even though she's the girl next door.
They call her Donna, Donna the Prima Donna.
Broke my heart.
Thinks she's smart.
We're apart.
Pretty little girl you're just having fun,
You're running all around, you're breaking lover's
hearts.
Pretty little girl, I don't stand a chance,
Without any money there goes our romance.
She always wears charms, diamonds, pearls galore,
She buys them at the 5 & 10 cents store.
She wants to be just like Zsa Zsa Gabor,
Even though she's Donna next door.
You know, I'd rather be the ol' devil
Well, I'd rather be the devil
Then to be that woman' man
You know, rather be the devil
Than to be that woman' man
You know, I'm so sorry
You know, so sorry
That I ever fell in love wit' you-ooo-hoo-oo
Because you know you don't treat me
Baby, like you used ta do-hoo
You know, I laid down last night
You know, I laid down last night
And I thought to take me some rest
But my mind got to rambling
Like a wild geese from the west
You know the woman that I love
The woman that I love
I stol't her from my best friend
But you know he done got lucky
An he done got her back, again
You know, I used to cut your kindleing
You know, I used to cut your kindleing
Baby, then I made you some fire
Then I would tote all your water
Way, way, way, from the bogy brier
You know, my baby she don't drink whiskey
My baby, she don't drink no whiskey
An I know she ain't crazy about wine
Now, it was nothin' but the ol' devil
He done changed my baby's mind
You know, I could be right
You know, I could be right
Then again, I could be wrong
But it was nothin' but the ol' devil
He done got my baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'd like to tell you something
All about the good and the bad
I wish today the world, my friends
Would stop being sad
There's so much evil round us
I feel that I could die
And I know, yeah
That I was born to cry
Well, if I ever told you
All about the things I have done

If I do, it's a lie
But I know that I
Was born to cry
Yeah, cry

Oh, yeah, oh

But he kicked out my teeth

Well, I know someday

-peak Billboard position # 31 in 1963
-previously recorded by Hank William, Sr. (as "Luke the Drifter") in
1952
-later recorded by Hank Williams, Jr. and charted at # 37 in 1969
-Words and Music by Bonnie Dodd
(So be careful of stones that you throw)
Oh, a tongue can accuse and carry bad news
Gossip is cheap and it's lo-o-ow
So unless you've made no mistakes in your life
Just be careful of stones that you throw
SPOKEN: A neighbor was passin' my garden one time. She stopped and I
knew
right away that it was gossip, not flowers, she had on her mind. And
this is what I
heard my neighbor say-"You know, that girl down the street should be run
from our
midst. She drinks and she talks quite a lot. She knows not to speak to
my child
and me." My neighbor then smiled and I thought
Oh, a tongue can accuse and carry bad news
Gossip is cheap and it's lo-o-ow
But unless you've made no mistakes in your life
Be careful of stones that you throw
SPOKEN: Just then a car speeded by in the screamin' of brakes-a sound
that
made my blood chill. For my neighbor's one child had been pulled from
the path
and saved by a girl lyin' still. The child was unhurt and my neighbor
cried out "Oh,
who was that brave girl so sweet?" I covered the crushed broken body
and said
"The bad girl who lived down the street."
So unless you've made no mistakes in your life
Do you remember on the night that we first met
the moment I looked in your eyes I never will forget
And I remember oh the time that we kissed
remember thinking to myself could it really be like this
And we danced beneath a midnight moon
and I took one lock
one look at you
And I fell in love before I knew
and the night stood still
and we moved so sweet
so sweet and slow
to the rhythm of the radio
And then your arms reached out and held me close
and the night stood still
I will remember the song that they were playing then
and if I close my eyes I answer
we're right back there again
Do you remember oh the way it used to be
We were two hearts on the run
So young as wild as free
CHORUS
The night stood still
we danced
danced
we fell in love
You'll always find me in the rain
I've done some things I can't explain
I walk the streets alone
The darkness is my safety zone
Yes always
always in the rain
The street lights print my silhouette
upon the pavement dark and wet
I find my childhood in the ghoarts
of the old neighborhood
Yes always
always in the rain.
It's a melancholy feeling
shakes my senses takes my feeling
Then I find i just surrender
to the moment it's so tender
I watch the neon city swirl
just like a mystic dancing girl
Beneath the stormy weather
all those colors flow together
always
always in the rain
My dream to lie again with you
beneath a boundless sky of blue
It's just a fantasy
a wish within a memory
Yes always
always in the sun
CHORUS: It's a melancholy...
We all return in times of pain
to days of laughter in the rain
When all the world seemed new
the future gleamed and love was true
Yes always
walking in the rain
Always in the rain
I want a Sunday kind of love
A love to last past Saturday night
And I'd like to know it's more than love at first sight
I want a Sunday kind of love oh yeah
I want a love that's on the square
Can't seem to find somebody someone to care
And I'm on a lonely road that leads to nowhere
I need a Sunday kind of love
I do all my Sunday dreaming
And all my Sunday scheming
Every minute, every hour, every day
And I'm hopin' to discover
A certain kind of lover
Who will show me the way
And my arms need someone to enfold
To help keep me warm
When Mondays, and Tuesdays grow cold
And I need a love for all my life
To have and to hold
I need a Sunday kind of love
I do all my Sunday dreaming
And all my Sunday scheming
Every minute, every hour, every day
And I'm hopin' to discover
A certain kind of lover
Who will show me the way
And my arms need someone to enfold
To help keep me warm
When Mondays, and Tuesdays grow cold
And I need a love for all my life
To have and to hold
I need a Sunday kind of love
I don't want a Monday or a Tuesday
A Wednesday or a Thursday
Friday or Saturday
I don't want nothin' baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'd like to tell you something
All about the good and the bad
I wish today the world, my friends
Would stop being sad
There's so much evil round us
I feel that I could die
And I know, yeah

Dion And The Belmonts - Runaround sue
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 2:25
- Updated: 14 Jan 2013
Dion and the Belmonts were a leading American vocal group of the late 1950s. The group formed when Dion DiMucci joined The Belmonts - Carlo Mastrangelo, Freddie Milano, and Angelo D'Aleo - in late 1957. After an unsuccessful first single, the group were signed to Laurie Records. Their breakthrough came when «I Wonder Why» made # 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and the group appeared for the first time on the Dick Clark TV show. They followed it with the ballads «No One Knows» (#19) and «Don't Pity Me» (#40). This success won Dion and the Belmonts their first major tour in late 1958, with The Coasters, Buddy Holly and Bobby Darin, and this was followed up by the «Winter Dance Party» tour with Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper. On 2 February 1959, after playing at the Surf Ballroom, Dion decided that he could not afford the $36 cost of a flight to the next venue. The plane crashed, and Holly and the other stars were killed. However, the tour continued, with Jimmy Clanton and Bobby Vee being added to the bill. In March 1959, Dion and the Belmonts' next single, «A Teenager in Love», was released, making #5 in the Billboard Hot 100 and #28 in the UK Singles Chart, and this was followed by an album, Presenting Dion and the Belmonts. Their biggest hit, «Where or When», was released in November 1959, and reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. However, in early 1960, Dion checked in to hospital for heroin addiction, a problem he had had since his mid-teens.

Dion and the Belmonts were a leading American vocal group of the late 1950s. All members were from the Bronx, New York, one of the five boroughs of New York City. The group formed when Dion DiMucci, lead singer (born July 18, 1939), joined The Belmonts – Carlo Mastrangelo, bass-baritone (born October 5, 1938), Fred Milano, second tenor (August 22, 1939 – January 1, 2012), and Angelo D'Aleo, first tenor (born February 3, 1940), in late 1957.

History[link]
After an unsuccessful single on Mohawk Records in 1957, the group signed with Laurie Records in early 1958. The breakthrough came when their very first Laurie release, "I Wonder Why" reached No. 22 on the Billboard Top 100 charts, and they appeared for the first time on the nationally televised American Bandstand show, hosted by Dick Clark. They followed up with the ballads "No One Knows" (No. 19) and "Don’t Pity Me" (No. 40), which they also performed on Bandstand.
This early success brought Dion and the Belmonts their first major tour in late 1958, with The Coasters, Buddy Holly and Bobby Darin. It was followed by the historic, "Winter Dance Party" tour featuring Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper. On February 2nd 1959, after playing the Surf Ballroom, Holly arranged to charter a plane. Dion decided he couldn't afford the $36 cost to fly to the next venue. "$36 seemed like an awful lot of money to me," he said, and told Holly, no. Shortly after midnight, on February 3rd 1959, the plane crashed near Clear Lake, Iowa, with Holly, Valens, The Big Bopper, and the pilot, Roger Peterson, all being killed. Bobby Vee, then an unknown artist, performed in Holly’s place at the very next concert. Later, Jimmy Clanton, Frankie Avalon, and Fabian were hired to finish the tour in place of the three deceased headliners.
In March 1959, Dion and the Belmonts’ next single, "A Teenager in Love", broke the Top Ten, reaching No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 28 on the UK Singles Charts. Written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, it's considered one of the greatest songs in Rock and Roll history. It was followed by their first album, "Presenting Dion and the Belmonts". Their biggest hit, "Where or When", was released in November 1959, and reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 with the group making another national appearance on American Bandstand. The flip side, "That's My Desire", although never charting nationally, is as well known in many areas, especially New York City.
Other singles released for the group that year continued to chart Billboard but were less successful. In early 1960, Dion checked into a hospital for heroin addiction, a problem he had since his mid-teens. In addition, there were financial and musical differences between Dion and members of the Belmonts. "They wanted to get into their harmony thing, and I wanted to rock and roll," said Dion. In October 1960, DiMucci decided to quit for a solo career. Now simply known as "Dion", his first major hit, "Lonely Teenager" was backed by a female chorus . He eventually chose to work with The Del-Satins, who backed him (uncredited) on all his early Laurie and Columbia Records hits, such as "The Wanderer", "Runaround Sue", "Ruby Baby", and "Donna the Prima Donna". Later reissues of these songs would often be erroneously attributed to Dion and the Belmonts. The Belmonts also continued to release records on their own label, Sabina Records, but with less success.
Dion and the Belmonts reunited in late 1966 for the album Together Again on ABC Records, which was unsuccessful. Two singles were released from the LP, "My Girl The Month of May" / "Berimbau", and "Movin' Man" / "For Bobbie". Neither charted in the United States, but fared better in England. "My Girl The Month of May" peaked at #18 the week of December 18, 1966 on the "Radio London FAB 40" charts, while "Movin' Man" scored at #38 the week of March 19, 1967 in the UK. During their brief mid 60's reunion they appeared on the popular "Clay Cole Show" performing "Berimbau" and "My Girl The Month of May", and occasionally performed at local New York City clubs such as "The Mardi Gras" on Staten Island (April 29, 1967) before disbanding. The original group reunited once again June 2, 1972 for a show at Madison Square Garden, which was recorded and released as a live album for Warner Brothers. A year later, in 1973, DiMucci, Mastrangelo, Milano and D'Aleo performed once more, doing a sold out concert at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island, New York. No recording of the 1973 reunion was ever released.
In 1968, as a solo performer, Dion recorded "Abraham, Martin and John" written by Dick Holler. It is a tribute to social change icons, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy. It was written as a response to the assassination of King and the younger Kennedy in April and June of 1968. When producer Phil Gernhard initially presented the song to DiMucci, the latter didn't care for it. With the persistence of Gernhard, and Dion's wife Susan, he flew to New York that summer. He recorded just one take and history was made. Laurie Records released the single in September of that year and it quickly raced up the charts, peaking at number four in November. DiMucci was invited to sing his new hit on “The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour”, as well as many other top shows, and Dion was once again a star.
In 2000, Dion and the Belmonts were inducted in the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.

Céline Marie Claudette Dion, CC OQ, (French pronunciation: [selin djɔ̃] (
listen); born March 30, 1968), is a Canadian singer. Born to a large family from Charlemagne, Quebec,[4] Dion emerged as a teen star in the French-speaking world after her manager and future husband René Angélil mortgaged his home to finance her first record.[5] In 1990, she released the English-language album Unison, establishing herself as a viable pop artist in North America and other English-speaking areas of the world.[6]
Dion had first gained international recognition in the 1980s by winning both the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival and the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest.[7][8] Following a series of French albums in the early 1980s, she signed on to CBS Records Canada in 1986. During the 1990s, with the help of Angélil, she achieved worldwide fame after signing with Epic Records and releasing several English albums along with additional French albums, becoming one of the most successful artists in pop music history.[9][10] However, in 1999 at the height of her success, Dion announced a hiatus from entertainment in order to start a family and spend time with her husband, who had been diagnosed with cancer.[10][11] She returned to the top of pop music in 2002 and signed a three-year (later extended to almost five years) contract to perform nightly in a five-star theatrical show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Paradise, Nevada.[12][13][14]
Dion's music has been influenced by genres ranging from rock and R&B to gospel and classical. While her releases have often received mixed critical reception, she is renowned for her technically skilled and powerful vocals.[15][16][17] Dion is the best-selling Canadian artist of all time,[18][19] is the second best-selling female artist in the US during the Nielsen SoundScan era,[20][21] and is the only female artist to have two singles sell more than a million copies in the UK.[22] In addition, her 1995 album D'eux, is the best-selling French-language album of all time.[23] In 2004, after surpassing 175 million in album sales worldwide, she was presented with the Chopard Diamond Award at the World Music Awards for becoming the best-selling female artist of all time.[24][25] According to Sony Music Entertainment, Dion has sold over 200 million albums worldwide.[26]
Life and career[link]
Childhood and early beginnings[link]
The youngest of 14 children born to Adhémar Dion and Thérèse Tanguay, both of French-Canadian descent, Celine Dion was raised a Roman Catholic in a poverty-stricken, but, by her own account, happy home in Charlemagne, Quebec, Canada.[10][27] Music had always been a part of the family (Dion was named after the song Céline, recorded by French singer Hugues Aufray two years before her birth [28]). On the 13th of August 1973, (at the age of five) the young Céline did her first public appearance at her brother Michel's marriage, and performed Christine Charbonneau's song [29] Du fil des aiguilles et du coton.[30] Then after she grew up singing with her siblings in her parents' small piano bar called Le Vieux Baril. From an early age Dion had dreamed of being a performer.[31] In a 1994 interview with People magazine, she recalled, "I missed my family and my home, but I don't regret having lost my adolescence. I had one dream: I wanted to be a singer."[32]
At age 12, Dion collaborated with her mother and her brother Jacques to compose her first song, "Ce n'était qu'un rêve" ("It Was Only a Dream").[27] Her brother Michel Dondalinger Dion sent the recording to music manager René Angélil, whose name he discovered on the back of a Ginette Reno album.[5] Angélil was moved to tears by Dion's voice, and decided to make her a star.[27] In 1981, he mortgaged his home to fund her first record, La voix du bon Dieu ("The Voice of the Good God"), which later became a local number-one hit and made Dion an instant star in Quebec. Her popularity spread to other parts of the world when she competed in the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival in Tokyo, Japan, and won the musician's award for "Top Performer" as well as the gold medal for "Best Song" with "Tellement j'ai d'amour pour toi" ("I Have So Much Love for You").[5]
By 1983, in addition to becoming the first Canadian artist to receive a gold record in France for the single "D'amour ou d'amitié" ("Of Love or of Friendship"), Dion had also won several Félix Awards, including "Best Female performer" and "Discovery of the Year".[5][33] Further success in Europe, Asia, and Australia came when Dion represented Switzerland in the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest with the song Ne partez pas sans moi (Don't Go Without Me) and won the contest by a close margin in Dublin, Ireland.[34] However, American success was yet to come, partly because she was exclusively a Francophone artist.[35] At eighteen, after seeing a Michael Jackson performance, Dion told Angélil that she wanted to be a star like Jackson.[36] Though confident in her talent, Angélil realized that her image needed to be changed in order for her to be marketed worldwide.[27] Dion receded from the spotlight for a number of months, during which she underwent dental surgery to improve her appearance, and was sent to the École Berlitz in 1989 to polish her English.[6]
In 1989, during a concert on Incognito Tour, Dion injured her voice. She consulted the otorhinolaryngologist William Gould.[37][38] He gave her an ultimatum: have surgery on her vocal cords, or not utilize them at all for three weeks.[37] Dion chose the latter and underwent a vocal formation with William Riley,[37][38] because, according to Gould and Riley, she "doesn't know singing, she made a bad use of her vocal cords".[37][38]
Career breakthrough: 1990–1992[link]

Dion's earlier English releases
"Where Does My Heart Beat Now", Dion's first North American hit, was 1980s soft rock. (Note the prominence of the electric guitar). It contrasts with the style of subsequent efforts.

Two years after she had learned English, Dion made her debut into the Anglophone market with Unison (1990), the lead single having originally been recorded by Laura Branigan.[5] She incorporated the help of many established musicians, including Vito Luprano and Canadian producer David Foster.[39] The album was largely influenced by 1980s soft rock music that quickly found a niche within the adult contemporary radio format. Unison also hit the right notes with critics: Jim Faber of Entertainment Weekly wrote that Dion's vocals were "tastefully unadorned", and that she never attempted to "bring off styles that are beyond her".[40] Stephen Erlewine of Allmusic declared it as, "a fine, sophisticated American debut."[41] Singles from the album included "(If There Was) Any Other Way", "The Last to Know", "Unison", and "Where Does My Heart Beat Now", a mid-tempo soft-rock ballad which made prominent use of the electric guitar. The latter became her first single to reach the top-ten on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number-four. The album established Dion as a rising singer in the United States, and across Continental Europe and Asia.
In 1991, Dion was also a soloist in Voices That Care, a tribute to American troops fighting in Operation Desert Storm. Dion's real international breakthrough came when she duetted with Peabo Bryson on the title track to Disney's animated film Beauty and the Beast (1991).[42] The song captured a musical style that Dion would utilize in the future: sweeping, classically influenced ballads with soft instrumentation. Both a critical and commercial hit, the song became her second U.S. top-ten single, and won the Academy Award for Best Song, and the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.[15] "Beauty and the Beast" was featured on Dion's 1992 self-titled album, which, like her debut, had a strong rock influence combined with elements of soul and classical music. Owing to the success of the lead-off single and her collaboration with Foster and Diane Warren, the album was as well received as Unison. Other singles that achieved moderate success included "If You Asked Me To" (a cover of Patti LaBelle's song from the 1989 movie Licence to Kill) which peaked at number-four on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, the gospel-tinged "Love Can Move Mountains", and "Nothing Broken But My Heart".
As with Dion's earlier releases, the album had an overtone of love. Also during this time, Dion released the Francophone album Dion chante Plamondon in 1991. The album consisted mostly of covers, but included 4 new songs, which included "Des mots qui sonnent", "Je danse dans ma tête", "Quelqu'un que j'aime, quelqu'un qui m'aime" and "L'amour existe encore". It was originally released in Canada and France during the 1991–1992 period, but then got an international release in 1994, the first French Celine Dion album to do so. "Un garçon pas comme les autres (Ziggy)" became a smash hit in France, reaching number-two and being certified gold. In Quebec, the album was certified Gold the day it was released.
By 1992 Unison, Céline Dion, and media appearances had propelled Dion to superstardom in North America. She had achieved one of her main objectives: wedging her way into the Anglophone market and achieving fame.[35] However, while she was experiencing rising success in the U.S., her French fans in Canada criticized her for neglecting them.[15][43] She would later regain her fan base at the Félix Award show, where, after winning "English Artist of the Year", she openly refused to accept the award. She asserted that she was—and would always be—a French, not an English, artist.[6][44] Apart from her commercial success, there were also changes in Dion's personal life, as Angélil, who was twenty-six years her senior, transitioned from manager to lover. However, the relationship was kept a secret as they both feared that the public would find their relations inappropriate.[45]
Popularity established: 1993–1995[link]
In 1993, Dion announced her feelings for her manager by declaring him "the colour of [her] love" in the dedication section of her third English-language album The Colour of My Love. However, instead of criticizing their relationship as Dion had feared, fans embraced the couple.[46] Eventually, Angélil and Dion married in an extravagant wedding ceremony in December 1994, which was broadcast live on Canadian television.
As it was dedicated to her manager, the album's motif focused on love and romance.[47] It became her most successful record up to that point, selling more than six million copies in the U.S., two million in Canada, and peaking at number-one in many countries. The album also spawned Dion's first U.S., Canadian, and Australian number-one single "The Power of Love" (a remake of Jennifer Rush's 1985 hit), which would become her signature hit until she reached new career heights in the late 1990s.[35] The single "When I Fall in Love", a duet with Clive Griffin, achieved moderate success on the U.S. and Canadian charts, and was nominated for two Grammy Awards, winning one. The Colour of My Love also became Dion's first major hit in Europe, and in particular the United Kingdom. Both the album and the single "Think Twice" simultaneously occupied the top of the British charts for five consecutive weeks. "Think Twice", which remained at number-one for seven weeks, eventually became the fourth single by a female artist to sell in excess of one million copies in the UK,[48] while the album was eventually certified five-times platinum for two-million copies sold.[49]
Dion kept to her French roots and continued to release many Francophone recordings between each English record.[50] Generally, they achieved more credibility than her English-language works.[43] She released À l'Olympia, a live album that was recorded during one of Dion's concerts at the Paris Olympia in 1994. It had one promotional single, a live version of "Calling You", which peaked at seventy-five on the French Singles Chart. She also recorded a bilingual version of Petit Papa Noël with Alvin and the Chipmunks for the 1994 holiday album A Very Merry Chipmunk. D'eux (also known as The French Album in the United States), was released in 1995, and it would go on to become the best-selling French-language album of all time.[50] The album was mostly written and produced by Jean-Jacques Goldman, and amassed huge success with the singles "Pour que tu m'aimes encore" and "Je sais pas". "Pour que tu m'aimes encore" reached number 1 in France and stayed at the top position for twelve weeks. It was later certified Platinum in France.[51] The single also reached the top ten in the UK and Ireland, a rare accomplishment for a French song. The second single off the album, "Je sais pas", reached number-one on the French Singles Chart as well and was certified Silver in France.[52] These songs would later become "If That's What It Takes" and "I Don't Know" on Dion's next English album, Falling into You.
During the mid-1990s, Dion's albums continued to be constructed on the basis of melodramatic ballads, but also with up-tempo pop and adult contemporary themed music.[53] She collaborated with talented craftsman such as Jim Steinman and David Foster who helped her devise more adult contemporary songs.[54][55] While critical reviews fluctuated, Dion's releases performed increasingly well on the international charts, and in 1996 she won the World Music Award for "World’s Best-selling Canadian Female Recording Artist of the Year" for the third time. By the mid-1990s, she had established herself as one of the best-selling artists in the world.[56]

Musical diversity of Falling into You
The slow-tempo title track was noted for its considerable use of percussion instruments and the saxophone.
One of the final tracks on the album, "Call the Man", features a choir chanting and humming in an African language.
Falling into You contained outlandish musical effects, as epitomized by the single "I Don't Know."

Falling into You (1996), Dion's fourth English-language album, presented the singer at the height of her popularity, and showed a further progression of her music.[45] In an attempt to reach a wider audience, the album combined many elements, such as complex orchestral sounds, African chanting and elaborate musical effects. Additionally, instruments like the violin, Spanish guitar, trombone, the cavaquinho and saxophone created a new sound.[57] The singles encompassed a variety of musical styles. The title track "Falling into You" and "River Deep, Mountain High" (a Tina Turner cover) made prominent use of percussion instruments; "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" (a remake of Jim Steinman's song) and a remake of Eric Carmen's "All by Myself" kept their soft-rock atmosphere, but were combined with the classical sound of the piano; and the number-one single "Because You Loved Me", which was written by Diane Warren, was a ballad that served as the theme to the 1996 film Up Close & Personal.[56]
Falling into You garnered career-best reviews for Dion. While Dan Leroy wrote that it was not very different from her previous work,[58] and Stephen Holden of The New York Times and Natalie Nichols of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the album was formulaic,[59][60] other critics, such as Chuck Eddy of Entertainment Weekly, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AMG and Daniel Durchholz, lavished the album as "compelling", "passionate", "stylish", "elegant" and "remarkably well-crafted".[57][61] Falling Into You became Dion's most critically and commercially successful album: it topped the charts in many countries and became one of the best-selling albums of all time.[62] In the United States, the album reached number-one,[63] and was later certified 11x Platinum for over 11 million copies shipped.[64] In Canada, the album was certified diamond for over one million copies shipped.[65] The IFPI certified Falling into You 9x Platinum, an accolade that has been given to only two other albums in history, with one of the two being Dion's own album, Let's Talk About Love.[66] The album also won Grammy Awards for Best Pop Album, and the academy's highest honor Album of the Year.[67] Dion's status on the world stage was further solidified when she was asked to perform "The Power of the Dream" at the opening ceremonies of the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games.[68] In March 1996, Dion launched the Falling into You Tour in support of her new album, giving concerts around the world for over a year.
Dion followed Falling into You with Let's Talk About Love (1997), which was publicized as its sequel.[69] The recording process took place in London, New York City, and Los Angeles, and featured a host of special guests, such as Barbra Streisand on "Tell Him"; the Bee Gees on "Immortality"; and world-renowned tenor Luciano Pavarotti on "I Hate You Then I Love You".[45][70] Other musicians included Carole King, Sir George Martin, Bryan Adams and Jamaican singer Diana King, who added a reggae tinge to "Treat Her Like a Lady".[71] As with Falling into You, Let's Talk About Love was a major success for Dion, reaching number-one all over the world, attaining platinum status in twenty-four sales territories, and becoming Dion's fastest selling album of her career.[72] In the United States, the album topped the chart in its seventh week of release,[73] and was later certified 10x Platinum in the U.S. for over 10 million copies shipped.[74] In Canada, the album sold 230,212 copies in its first week of release, which became, and still is, a record.[75] It was eventually certified diamond in Canada for over 1 million copies shipped.[76][77] The most successful single from the album became the classically influenced ballad "My Heart Will Go On", which was written and composed by James Horner and Will Jennings, and produced by Horner and Walter Afanasieff.[67] Serving as the love theme for the 1997 blockbuster film Titanic, the song topped the charts across the world, and became Dion's signature song;[78] as well as winning the Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Original Song.[79] The song also gave Dion two Grammy Awards for "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance" and the most coveted "Record of the Year", (the song itself won four awards, but two were presented to the songwriters).[80] "My Heart Will Go On" and "Think Twice" made her the only female artist in the UK to have two singles to sell more than a million copies.[81] In support of her album, Dion embarked on the Let's Talk About Love Tour between 1998 and 1999.[82]
Dion ended the 1990s with three more extremely successful albums—the Christmas album These Are Special Times (1998), the French-language album, S'il suffisait d'aimer, and the compilation album All the Way... A Decade of Song (1999).[46] On These Are Special Times, Dion became more involved in the writing process. She co-wrote the song, "Don't Save It All For Christmas Day" along with Ric Wake and Peter Zizzo.[83] The album was her most classically influenced yet, with orchestral arrangements found on virtually every track.[84] "I'm Your Angel", a duet with R. Kelly, became Dion's fourth U.S. number one single, and another hit single across the world. All the Way... A Decade of Song drew together her most successful hits coupled with seven new songs, including the lead off single "That's the Way It Is", a cover of Roberta Flack's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", and "All the Way", a duet with Frank Sinatra.[46] The album itself was also extremely successful worldwide, reaching number-one in the United States for three weeks.[63] The album was later certified 7x Platinum in the U.S. for 7 million copies shipped.[85] All the Way... A Decade of Song also topped the charts in the UK,[86] Canada,[87] and Australia.[88] Her last French-language studio album of the 1990s, S'il suffisait d'aimer, was very successful as well, topping the charts in every major French-speaking country, including France,[89] Switzerland,[90] Belgium Wallonia,[91] and Canada.[87] In France, the album was certified diamond, selling 1.5 million copies.[92] By the end of the 1990s, Celine Dion had sold more than 100 million albums worldwide, and had won a slew of industry awards.[93] Her status as one of the music industry's biggest pop divas was further solidified when she was asked to perform on VH1's Divas Live special in 1998, with superstars Aretha Franklin, Gloria Estefan, Shania Twain and Mariah Carey.[94] That year she also received two of the highest honours from her home country: "Officer of the Order of Canada for Outstanding Contribution to the World of Contemporary Music"[95][96] and "Officer of the National Order of Quebec".[97] A year later she was inducted into the Canadian Broadcast Hall of Fame, and was honoured with a star on Canada's Walk of Fame.[98]
During this time, the pop-rock genre that was more noticeable in her earlier releases, was replaced by a more adult contemporary feel.[69] However, the theme of "love" remained in most of her releases, which led to some critics dismissing her music as banal.[99] Other critics, like Elysa Gardner and Jose F. Promis, praised her vocals during this period, describing it as a "technical marvel".[100][101] However, others, like Steve Dollar, who reviewed These Are Special Times, stated that Dion is a "vocal Olympian for whom there ain't no mountain—or scale—high enough."[102]
Career break: 2000–2002[link]
After releasing and promoting thirteen albums during the 1990s, Dion stated that she needed to settle down, and announced on her latest album All the Way... A Decade of Song, that she needed to take a step back from the spotlight and enjoy life.[10][103] Angélil's diagnosis with throat cancer also prompted her to hiatus.[104] While on break, Dion was unable to escape the spotlight. In 2000, the National Enquirer published a false story about the singer. Brandishing a picture of Dion and her husband, the magazine misquoted Dion, printing the headline, "Celine — 'I'm Pregnant With Twins!'"[105] Dion later sued the magazine for more than twenty million dollars.[106] The editors of the Enquirer printed an apology and a full retraction to Dion in the next issue, and donated money to the American Cancer Society in honor of Dion and her husband. A year after the incident, after undergoing fertility treatments, Dion gave birth to a son, René-Charles Dion Angélil, on January 25, 2001, in Florida.[107][108] Following the September 11 attacks, Dion returned to the music scene, and in a televised performance sang "God Bless America" at the benefit concert America: A Tribute to Heroes. Chuck Taylor of Billboard wrote, "the performance... brings to mind what has made her one of the celebrated vocalists of our time: the ability to render emotion that shakes the soul. Affecting, meaningful, and filled with grace, this is a musical reflection to share with all of us still searching for ways to cope."[109] Dion would perform it again in 2003 during pregame festivities for Super Bowl XXXVII in San Diego.[110]
In December 2001, Dion published her autobiography, My Story, My Dream which chronicled her rags to riches story.[111]
Return to music: 2002–2003[link]
Dion's aptly titled A New Day Has Come, released in March 2002, ended her three-year break from the music industry. The album was Dion's most personal yet, and established a more mature side of Dion with the songs "A New Day Has Come", "I'm Alive", and "Goodbye's (The Saddest Word)", a change that resulted from her new-found maternal responsibilities, because, in her own words, "becoming a mother makes you a grown-up."[103] She stated, "A New Day Has Come, for Rene, for me, is the baby. It has everything to do with the baby...That song "A New Day Has Come" represents very well the mood I'm feeling right now. It represents the whole album."[112] A New Day Has Come debuted at number one in over 17 countries, including the United Kingdom and Canada.[113][114][115] In the United States, the album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, with first week sales of 527,000 copies; marking her first number one debut on the chart.[116] It was eventually certified 3x Platinum in the United States,[117] and 6x Platinum in Canada.[118]
While the album was commercially successful, critical reviews suggested that it was "forgettable" and the lyrics were "lifeless".[119] Both Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone magazine, and Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly, stated that Dion's music had not matured during her break, and classed her music as trite and mediocre.[120][121] Sal Cinquemani of Slant magazine called the album "a lengthy collection of drippy, gooey pop fluffer-nutter."[122] The first single off the album, A New Day Has Come peaked at No.22 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, being an airplay-only release. On the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks, however the song spent 21 consecutive weeks at number 1, breaking the record for the longest span at the top.[123] The previous record holders were Phil Collins' You'll Be in My Heart and Dion's own Because You Loved Me, both of which lasted nineteen weeks at number 1. During 2002, she performed for many benefit concerts, the famous VH1 Divas Live, a concert to benefit the VH1 Save The Music Foundation, alongside Cher, Anastacia, Dixie Chicks, Mary J. Blige, Whitney Houston, Cyndi Lauper, Shakira and Stevie Nicks.
Drawing inspiration from personal experiences, Dion released One Heart (2003), an album that represented her appreciation for life.[124] The album largely consisted of dance music—a deviation from the soaring, melodramatic ballads, for which she had once been given mixed reception. Although the album achieved moderate success, One Heart was met with mixed criticism, and words such as "predictable" and "banal" appeared even in the most lenient reviews.[125][126] A cover of the 1989 Cyndi Lauper hit "I Drove All Night", released to launch her new advertising campaign with Chrysler,[127] incorporated dance-pop and rock and roll. The advertising deal itself, however was met with mixed criticism, with some stating that Dion was trying to please her sponsors.[128] However, people like Bonita Stewart, who was the director of Chrysler Group Marketing Communications stated that "Chrysler was taken by how her appeal crossed ethnic lines." She also added, "She brings sophistication, refinement, romance and passion to the brand."[129]
After One Heart, Dion released her next English Language studio album, Miracle (2004). Miracle was a multimedia project conceived by Dion and photographer Anne Geddes, and had a theme centering on babies and motherhood. The album was filled with lullabies and other songs of maternal love and inspiration, the two most popular being covers of Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" and John Lennon's "Beautiful Boy". The reviews for Miracle were mixed.[130] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic.com gave the album three of out five stars, stating, "The worst you can say about the record is that there are no surprises, but the audience for this record doesn't want surprises; they want comfort, whether it arrives in polished music or artsy photos of newborns, and Miracle provides both, which makes it appealing for those expectant or new mothers in Dion's audience.[130] Chuck Taylor of Billboard magazine wrote that the single "Beautiful Boy" was "an unexpected gem" and called Dion "a timeless, enormously versatile artist",[131] Chuck Arnold of People Magazine, however, labeled the album as excessively sentimental,[132] while Nancy Miller of Entertainment Weekly opined that "the whole earth-mama act is just opportunism, reborn".[133] Miracle debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 chart and number one in Canada , and was eventually certified platinum by the RIAA.[134]
The Francophone album 1 fille & 4 types (1 Girl & 4 Guys), released in October 2003, fared better than her first two releases, and showed Dion trying to distance herself from the "diva" image. She recruited Jean-Jacques Goldman, Gildas Arzel, Eric Benzi, and Jacques Veneruso, with whom she had previously worked on two of her best-selling French albums S'il suffisait d'aimer and D'eux. Labeled "the album of pleasure" by Dion herself, the album cover showed Dion in a simple and relaxed manner, contrary to the choreographed poses usually found on her album covers. The album achieved widespread commercial success in France, Canada, and Belgium where it reached number one. In France, the album debuted at number one and was later certified 2x platinum after selling over 700,000 copies. Critic, Stephen Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that Dion's vocals "are back at top of their game" and that she was "getting back to pop basics and performing at a level unheard in a while."[135]
Though her albums were commercially successful, they did not achieve the sales or the reception of her previous works. Albums like The Collector's Series, Volume One (2000), and One Heart (2003) did not perform as well critically.[125][125] Her songs received less airplay as radio became less embracing of balladeers like Dion, Carey, and Houston, and was focused on more up-tempo, Urban/Hip-hop songs.[136] However, by 2004, Dion had accumulated sales of more than 175 million albums worldwide, and received the Chopard Diamond Award from the World Music Awards for her achievements.[137] According to the official World Music Awards website, the award is rare; it is "not presented every year" and an artist can only be presented with the award for selling "over 100 million albums during their career."[138]
[edit] A New Day... Live in Las Vegas: 2003–2007
In early 2002 Dion had announced a three-year, 600-show contract to appear five nights a week in an entertainment extravaganza, A New Day..., at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas.[12] This move was seen as "one of the smartest business decisions in years by any major recording artist".[139] She conceived the idea for the show after seeing O by Franco Dragone early in her break from recording, and began on March 25, 2003, in a 4,000-seat arena designed for her show.[12] Many stars attended opening night including Dick Clark, Alan Thicke, Kathy Griffin, and Justin Timberlake, who hosted the television special.[140] The show, put together by Dragone, was a combination of dance, music, and visual effects. It included Dion performing her biggest hits against an array of dancers and special effects. Reviewer Mike Weatherford felt that, at first, Dion was not as relaxed as she should be, and at times, it was hard to find the singer among the excessive stage ornamentations and dancers. However, he noted that the show had become more enjoyable, due to Dion's improved stage-presence and simpler costumes.[78]
The show was also well-received by audiences, despite the complaints of expensive tickets; the show routinely sold out until its end in late 2007.[141] Ticket prices averaged $135.33.[142] The show was choreographed by Mia Michaels, who is a world renowned choreographer. According to Pollstar, Dion sold 322,000 tickets and grossed US$43.9 million in the first half of 2005, and by July 2005, she had sold out 315 out of 384 shows.[143] By the end of 2005, Dion grossed more than US$76 million, placing sixth on Billboard's Money Makers list for 2005.[144] A New Day... was the 6th biggest selling tour in America in 2006.[145] Because of the show's success, Dion's contract was extended into 2007 for an undisclosed sum. On January 5, 2007 it was announced that the show would end on December 15, 2007, with tickets for the period after October 2007 having gone on sale from March 1.[146] During its entire run, the show accumulated a total gross of $400 million, while being seen by nearly 3 million fans.[147][148] The Live in Las Vegas - A New Day... DVD was released on December 10, 2007 in Europe and the following day in North America.[149]
Back to studio and world tour: 2007–2009[link]
Dion's latest French language album, D'elles (About Them), released on May 21, 2007, debuted at the top of the Canadian album charts, selling 72,200 copies in its first week. It marked her tenth number-one album in the SoundScan era, and her eighth to debut at the top position. In Canada, the album has been certified 2× platinum, and within the first month had already shipped half a million units worldwide.[150] D'Elles also reached No. 1 in France and Belgium. The first single "Et s'il n'en restait qu'une (je serais celle-là)" (meaning "And If There Was Only One Woman Left (I Would Be That One)") debuted at the top of the French singles chart a month earlier. She released her latest English album Taking Chances on November 12 in Europe, and on the November 13 in North America.[151] Her first English studio album since 2003's One Heart, it features pop, R&B, and rock inspired music.[152] Dion has collaborated with John Shanks and ex-Evanescence guitarist Ben Moody, as well as Kristian Lundin, Peer Astrom, Linda Perry, Japanese singer Yuna Ito, and R&B singer-songwriter Ne-Yo.[153][154] Dion stated, "I think this album represents a positive evolution in my career ... I'm feeling strong, maybe a little gutsier than in the past, and just as passionate about music and life as I ever was."[155] She launched her year-long worldwide Taking Chances Tour on February 14, 2008 in South Africa, performing 132 dates in stadiums and arenas across five continents.[156]
The Taking Chances Tour was a great success in the United States, reaching the Number 1 spot on the Billboard Boxscore and it sold out every concert in the U.S. and Canada. In addition, she appeared on Idol Gives Back for a second year in a row. Céline Dion was nominated for six Juno Awards in 2008, leading the group of Canadians to receive this honour,and adding to her 53 previous nominations. Her nominations included Artist of the Year, Pop Album of the Year (for Taking Chances), Francophone Album of the Year (for D'elles) and Album of the Year (for both Taking Chances and D'elles).[157] The following year, Dion was nominated for 3 Juno Awards including the Fan Choice Award, Song of the Year (for Taking Chances), and Music DVD of the Year (for Live in Las Vegas — A New Day...)[158]
On August 22, 2008, Celine Dion presented a free show, exclusively francophone,[159] outside on the Plains of Abraham, in Quebec City, Canada, for the 400th anniversary of Quebec City.[160] The celebration gathered approximately 490,000 people (total with TV broadcast). The concert, called Céline sur les Plaines, was released on DVD on November 11, 2008 in Quebec and was released on May 20, 2009 in France.[161] The end of October saw the worldwide release of her first ever comprehensive English greatest hits album called My Love: Essential Collection,[162] available in two different album formats.
In May 2009, Celine Dion was named the 20th best-selling artist of the decade in the United States and the second-best-selling female artist of the decade in the United States, selling an estimated 17.57 million albums.[163] In June 2009, Forbes reported that Dion earned $100 million during 2008. In December 2009, Pollstar announced that Dion was the best-selling solo touring act of the decade and the second-best-selling touring act of the decade, only to the Dave Matthews Band.[164] Dion grossed $522.2 million during the decade, a large sum of that coming from her five-year residence at Caesars Palace.[164]
Concert film and video release: late 2009–2010[link]
On February 17, 2010 Dion released into theatres a documentary film about her Taking Chances Tour, titled, Celine: Through the Eyes of the World.[165] The documentary shows behind-the-scenes footage of Dion both onstage and offstage, along with footage of Dion with her family as they traveled with her.[165] The distributor is the Sony Pictures subsidiary, Hot Ticket.[165] The film was later released on Blu-ray and DVD on May 4, 2010, along with the CD/DVD, Taking Chances World Tour: The Concert, which chronicled her world tour of the same name.[166][167] At the 52nd Grammy Awards in February 2010, Dion joined Carrie Underwood, Usher, Jennifer Hudson and Smokey Robinson to perform the song "Earth Song" during the 3-D Michael Jackson tribute.[168]
In January 2010, The Los Angeles Times presented its annual list of the top ten largest earners of the year, revealing that Dion took the top spot for the entire decade, with $US747.9 million in total revenue from 2000–2009.[169] The largest haul came from ticket sales, totaling $522.2 million.[169] Additionally, Dion was named "Artist of the Decade" in her native Canadian province of Quebec, announced by the Montreal-based newspaper, Le Journal de Quebec in 2009 December.[170] A public online survey asked responders to vote for who they believe deserved the above-mentioned accolade.[170]
Furthermore, in a May 2010 Harris Poll, Dion was named the most popular musician in the United States, ahead of U2, Elvis Presley, and The Beatles, while factoring in gender, political affiliations, geographic region of residence, and income.[171] Specifically, Dion was the most popular musician in the female demographic, as well as among all Democrats, those who live in the eastern United States and southern United States, and those who have incomes between US$35k and US$74.9k.[172][173]
In September 2010, she released the single "Voler", a duet with French singer Michel Sardou. The song was later included on Sardou's album.[174] In addition, it was announced in October 2010 that Dion wrote and composed a new song for Canadian singer, Marc Dupré entitled "Entre deux mondes".[175]
New Las Vegas show: 2011–present[link]
In an interview with People magazine published in February 2010, Dion announced that she will be returning to Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for Celine, a three-year residency for seventy shows a year, beginning March 15, 2011.[176] She stated that the show will feature, "all the songs from my repertoire that people want to hear" and will contain a selection of music from classic Hollywood films.[176] In preparation for her return to Las Vegas, Dion, on February 21 made an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show during the show's final season, for a record twenty-seventh time[177] and spoke about her upcoming Caesars Palace shows, as well as her family.[178] Additionally, for a record sixth time, Dion performed at the 83rd Academy Awards, where she sang the song "Smile," as part of the ceremony's "In Memoriam" segment.[179] On September 4, Dion appeared on the 2011 MDA Labor Telethon Event and showed a prerecorded performance of "Open Arms" from her new Las Vegas show.[180] On October 1, 2011, OWN Network premiered a documentary on Dion's life, from months before her pregnancy with twins, to the makings of her new Las Vegas Show, called, "Celine: 3 Boys and a New Show".[181] The documentary became the second highest rated show on TV OWN Canada. In October, FlightNetwork.com conducted a poll, asking 780 participants, which celebrity they would like to sit next to the most on an airplane. Dion was the top favorite, with 23.7% of the vote.[182] Also, in September, Dion released her 14th perfume from her Celine Dion Parfums Collection, called "Signature".[183]
On September 15, Dion made an appearance at the free concert of world famous tenor, Andrea Bocelli, in Central Park in New York.[184] In 2012 she performed at 16th Jazz and Blues Festival in Jamaica.[185] It has been officially announced that Dion will release a new English album in 2012.[186]
Personal life[link]
Dion first met her husband and manager, Rene Angelil in 1980, when she was 12 and he was 38, after she and her mother sent him a demo tape of a song they had written. They began a relationship in 1987, and became engaged in 1991. They married on December 17, 1994, at the Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal, Quebec. On January 5, 2000, Dion and Angelil renewed their wedding vows in Las Vegas.
In May 2000, Dion had two small operations at a fertility clinic in New York to improve her chances of conceiving, after deciding to use in-vitro fertilisation after years of failed attempts to conceive. Their first son, René-Charles Angelil, was born on January 25, 2001. In May 2010, Angelil announced that Dion was 14 weeks pregnant with twins after a sixth treatment of in-vitro fertilisation. On Saturday, October 23, 2010, at 11:11 and 11:12 am respectively, at St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Florida, Dion, by Caesarean section, gave birth to two healthy fraternal twins weighing 5 pounds 10 ounces and 5 pounds 4 ounces.[187] The twins were named Eddy, after Dion's favorite Algerian songwriter Eddy Marnay who also produced Dion's first five albums, and Nelson, after former South African President Nelson Mandela.[188] Dion appeared with her newborn sons on the cover of the December 9, 2010 issue of the Canadian edition of Hello! magazine.[189]
Artistry and image[link]
Dion grew up listening to the music of Aretha Franklin, Charles Aznavour, Michael Jackson, Carole King, Anne Murray, Barbra Streisand, and the Bee Gees, all of whom she would eventually collaborate with.[190][191] Dion has also stated she grew up listening to artists such as Janis Joplin, the Doobie Brothers, and Creedence Clearwater Revival, but never got the chance to sing their genre of music. She also was inspired by fellow vocalist Whitney Houston, whom Dion has often been compared to.[192] Her music has been influenced by numerous genres, including pop, rock, gospel, R&B and soul, and her lyrics focus on themes of poverty, world hunger, and spirituality, with an emphasis on love and romance.[47][193] After the birth of her child, her work also began to emphasize maternal bond and brotherly love.[130][194][195][196]
Dion has faced considerable criticism from critics, who state that her music often retreats behind pop and soul conventions, and is marked by excessive sentimentality.[6][99] According to Keith Harris of Rolling Stone magazine, "[Dion's] sentimentality is bombastic and defiant rather than demure and retiring....[she] stands at the end of the chain of drastic devolution that goes Aretha-Whitney-Mariah. Far from being an aberration, Dion actually stands as a symbol of a certain kind of pop sensibility—bigger is better, too much is never enough, and the riper the emotion the more true."[197] Dion's francophone releases, by contrast, tend to be deeper and more varied than her English releases, and consequently have achieved more credibility.[43][198]
Critics have stated that Dion's involvement in the production aspect of her music is fundamentally lacking, which results in her work being overproduced[198] and impersonal.[43] However, coming from a family in which all of her siblings were musicians, she learned to play instruments like piano and guitar, and practiced with a Fender Stratocaster during the recording sessions of her album, Falling into You. [199] Also, she helped to compose many of her earlier French songs, and had always tried to involve herself with the production and recording of her albums. On her first English album, which she recorded before she had a firm command of the English language, she expressed disapproval of the record, which could have been avoided if she had assumed more creative input.[43] By the time she released her second English album Celine Dion, she had assumed more control of the production and recording process, hoping to dispel earlier criticisms. She stated, "On the second album I said, 'Well, I have the choice to be afraid one more time and not be 100% happy, or not be afraid and be part of this album.' This is my album."[43] She would continue to involve herself in the production of subsequent releases, helping to write a few of her songs on Let's Talk About Love (1997) and These Are Special Times (1998).[2]
Dion is often the subject of media ridicule[200] and parody, and is frequently impersonated on shows like MADtv, Saturday Night Live, South Park, Royal Canadian Air Farce and This Hour Has 22 Minutes for her strong accent and on-stage movements. However, Dion has stated that she is unaffected by the comments, and is flattered that people take the time to impersonate her.[103] She even invited Ana Gasteyer, who parodied her on SNL, to appear on stage during one of her performances. While she is rarely politically outspoken, in 2005 following the Hurricane Katrina disaster, Dion appeared on Larry King Live and tearfully criticized the U.S. government's slow response in aiding the victims of the hurricane: "There's people still there waiting to be rescued. To me that is not acceptable...How can it be so easy to send planes in another country to kill everybody in a second and destroy lives. We need to serve our country."[201] After her interview, she stated, "When I do interviews with Larry King or the big TV shows like that, they put you on the spot, which is very difficult. I do have an opinion, but I'm a singer. I'm not a politician."[202]
Voice[link]
Dion is often regarded as one of pop music's most influential voices.[6][43][203] She has been described as a reigning "Queen of Pop" for her influence over the record industry during the 1990s, alongside other female entertainers, including Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.[204] In a countdown of the "22 Greatest Voices in Music" by Blender Magazine and MTV, she placed ninth (sixth for a female), and she was also placed fourth in Cove magazine's list of "The 100 Outstanding Pop Vocalists."[17][205][206] Dion is often compared to Mariah Carey for her vocal style and to her idol, Barbra Streisand, for her voice.[207]
According to various sources, Dion possesses a five-octave vocal range.[208][209][210][211] Dion states she is a mezzo-soprano.[212] However, attempts to adopt classical voice types to other forms of singing has been met with controversy.[213] Without making a classification, maestro Kent Nagano remarked, "All you just sang was soprano," after Dion auditioned with two solos of Carmen, wanting to know if she could sing opera.[212] Her timbre has been described as "thin, slightly nasal, nearly vibratoless,"[214] with a "raspy" lower register and "bell glass-like high notes."[215]
Dion is often praised for her technical virtuosity.[216] Stephen Holden of The New York Times, writes, "Ms. Dion [...] is a belter with a high, thin, slightly nasal, nearly vibratoless soprano and a good-sized arsenal of technical skills. She can deliver tricky melismas, produce expressive vocal catches and sustain long notes without the tiniest wavering of pitch. And as her duets [...] have shown, she is a reliable harmony voice."[214] In an interview with Libération, Jean-Jacques Goldman states that she has "no problem of accuracy or tempo."[217] According to Kent Nagano, maestro of the Munich Symphony Orchestra, Dion is "a musician who has a good ear, a refinement, and a degree of perfection that is envious."[212] Charles Alexander of TIME states, "[Her] voice glides effortlessly from deep whispers to dead-on high notes, a sweet siren that combines force with grace."[35]
In her French repertoire, Dion adorns her vocals with more nuances and modulations, with the emotional intensity being "more tender and intimate."[218] Additionally, Luc Plamondon, a French singer-songwriter who has written several works for Dion states that there are three chanteuse that Dion uses: the Québécois, the French, and the American.[218]
Other activities[link]
Dion became an entrepreneur with the establishment of her franchise restaurant, Nickels in 1990. She has since divested her interests in the chain and is no longer affiliated with Nickels, as of 1997. In 2003, Dion signed a deal with Coty, Inc. to release Celine Dion Parfums.[219] Her latest fragrance, Signature, was released in September 2011[183]with an advertising campaign by New York agency Kraftworks NYC.[220] Since its inception, Celine Dion Parfums has grossed over $850 million in retail sales.[221][222] In October 2004, Air Canada hired Dion as part of their promotional campaign to unveil new service products and an updated livery. "You and I", the theme song sung by Dion, was written by advertising executives working for Air Canada.[223]
Dion has actively supported many charity organizations, worldwide. She has promoted the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CCFF) since 1982, and became the foundation's National Celebrity Patron in 1993.[224] She has an emotional attachment to the foundation; her niece Karine succumbed to the disease at the age of sixteen. In 2003, Dion joined a number of other celebrities, athletes, and politicians, including Josh Groban and Yolanda Adams to support "World Children's Day", a global fundraising effort sponsored by McDonald's. The effort raised money from more than 100 nations and benefited orphanages and children's health organizations. In addition, Dion has been a major supporter of the T.J. Martell Foundation, the Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Fund, and many health and educational campaigns. During the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Dion donated $1 million to the victims of the storm, and held a fund-raising event for the victims of the 2004 Asian Tsunami, which subsequently raised more than $1 million.[225] After the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, Dion donated $100,000 to China Children & Teenagers' Fund and sent a letter showing her consolation and support.[226]
In 1999, Dion received a star on Canada's Walk of Fame and also a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in January 2004.[227][228] She dedicated her star to her father, who died the month prior. In 2007, Celine Dion was ranked by Forbes as the 5th richest woman in entertainment with an estimated net worth of US$250 million, though the ranking omitted non-working or retired celebrities.[229][230][231] She also received France's highest award, the Légion d'honneur, in May 2008. In August 2008, she received an honorary doctorate in music from the Université Laval in Quebec City.[232] In October 2010, Dion was named a Goodwill Ambassador, a program created by the UN in 1999. She shared this accolade with Oscar-winner, Susan Sarandon.[233]
