10 Admiral Grove
10 Admiral Grove is a property in Dingle, Liverpool, England. It is the house in which Ringo Starr lived for several years before he rose to fame with The Beatles.
On 7 July 1940, Richard Starkey (also known as Ringo Starr) was born at 9 Madryn Street in the Liverpool neighbourhood known as the Dingle. His neighbourhood was strafed with bombs during World War II. Richard and Elsie Starkey rented a house at 9 Madryn Street for 10 shillings (£0.50) a week, but separated three years later and mother and son moved to a smaller, less expensive house in nearby Admiral Grove.
Elsie and her son moved to the two up, two down house in Admiral Grove, which remained Ringo's home until 1963 when he became famous. Ringo’s infant school, St Silas Primary School, was yards away from his front door on Pengwern Street. Ringo was a sickly child and due to his many absences from school, was taught to read and write at home. A severe bout of peritonitis led him to spend much of his seventh year at the Royal Children’s Hospital. When Ringo was 13 his mother married a Londoner, Harry Graves. The Starkey’s local pub, The Empress, where Elsie was a barmaid, adjoins Admiral Grove. The pub was immortalised in 1970 by being featured on the front cover of Ringo’s first solo album Sentimental Journey. During "Beatlemania", the documentary, The Mersey Sound, filmed by BBC producer Don Haworth, showed Ringo being mobbed by fans on Admiral Grove as he made his way to George Harrison's open-top sports car.

Abbey Road Studios
Abbey Road Studios is a recording studio located at 3 Abbey Road, St John's Wood, City of Westminster, London, England. It was established in November 1931 by the Gramophone Company, a predecessor of British music company EMI, its present owner. It is most notable as being the venue in the 1960s for innovative recording techniques adopted by The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Hollies, Badfinger, and others.
Towards the end of 2009, the studio came under threat of sale to property developers, however the British Government protected the site, granting it English Heritage Grade II listed status in 2010, thereby preventing the building from subjection to major alterations.
Originally a nine-bedroom Georgian townhouse built in the 1830s on the footpath leading to Kilburn Abbey, the building was later converted to apartments where the most flamboyant resident was Maundy Gregory. The premises were acquired by the Gramophone Company in 1931 and converted into studios. Pathé filmed the opening of the studios, when Sir Edward Elgar conducted the London Symphony Orchestra in recording sessions of his music. The neighbouring house is also owned by the studio and used to house musicians. During the mid-1900s the studio was extensively used by leading British conductor Sir Malcolm Sargent, whose house was just around the corner from the studio building.

Adelaide
Adelaide (
/ˈædəleɪd/) is the capital city of South Australia and the fifth-largest city in Australia. Adelaide has an estimated population of more than 1.2 million. The demonym "Adelaidean" is used in reference to the city and its residents. Adelaide is located north of the Fleurieu Peninsula, on the Adelaide Plains between the Gulf St Vincent and the low-lying Mount Lofty Ranges which surround the city. Adelaide stretches 20 km (12 mi) from the coast to the foothills, and 90 km (56 mi) from Gawler at its northern extent to Sellicks Beach in the south.
Named in honour of Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, queen consort to King William IV, the city was founded in 1836 as the planned capital for a freely settled British province in Australia.Colonel William Light, one of Adelaide's founding fathers, designed the city and chose its location close to the River Torrens in the area originally inhabited by the Kaurna people. Light's design set out Adelaide in a grid layout, interspaced by wide boulevards and large public squares, and entirely surrounded by parkland. Early Adelaide was shaped by religious freedom and a commitment to political progressivism and civil liberties, which led to the moniker "City of Churches".

Australia
Australia ( /əˈstreɪljə/), officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a country in the Southern Hemisphere comprising the mainland of the Australian continent as well as the island of Tasmania and numerous smaller islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. It is the world's sixth-largest country by total area. Neighbouring countries include Indonesia, East Timor and Papua New Guinea to the north; the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and New Caledonia to the north-east; and New Zealand to the south-east.
For at least 40,000 years before European settlement in the late 18th century, Australia was inhabited by indigenous Australians, who belonged to one or more of roughly 250 language groups. After discovery by Dutch explorers in 1606, Australia's eastern half was claimed by Great Britain in 1770 and settled through penal transportation to the colony of New South Wales from 26 January 1788. The population grew steadily in subsequent decades; the continent was explored and an additional five self-governing Crown Colonies were established.

Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace is the official London residence and office of the British monarch. Located in the City of Westminster, the palace is a setting for state occasions and royal hospitality. It has been a focus for the British people at times of national rejoicing and crisis.
Originally known as Buckingham House, the building which forms the core of today's palace was a large townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1705 on a site which had been in private ownership for at least 150 years. It was subsequently acquired by George III in 1761 as a private residence for Queen Charlotte, and known as "The Queen's House". During the 19th century it was enlarged, principally by architects John Nash and Edward Blore, forming three wings around a central courtyard. Buckingham Palace finally became the official royal palace of the British monarch on the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837. The last major structural additions were made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the East front which contains the well-known balcony on which the Royal Family traditionally congregate to greet crowds outside. However, the palace chapel was destroyed by a German bomb in World War II; the Queen's Gallery was built on the site and opened to the public in 1962 to exhibit works of art from the Royal Collection.

Capitol Records
Capitol Records is a major American record label, formerly located in Los Angeles, but as of 2011[update] operating in New York City as part of Capitol Music Group. Its former headquarters building, the Capitol Tower, is a major landmark near the corner of Hollywood and Vine. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of EMI.
The Capitol Records Company was founded by songwriter Johnny Mercer in 1942, with the financial help of fellow songwriter and film producer Buddy DeSylva and the business acumen of Glenn Wallichs (1910–1971), owner of Music City, at the time the biggest record store in Los Angeles.
Johnny Mercer first suggested the idea of starting a record company while he was golfing with Harold Arlen and Bobby Sherwood. He told them, "I’ve got this idea of starting a record company. I get so tired of listening to the way everyone treats music. I keep feeling they’re selling out. And I don’t like the way artists are treated either. Bing Crosby isn’t the only one who can make records. I don’t know, I think it would be fun." By 1941, Mercer was not only an experienced songwriter, but a singer with a number of records to his name. Mercer next suggested starting a record company to his friend Glenn Wallichs while Mercer was visiting Wallichs' record store. Wallichs responded, "Fine, you run the record company and find the artists,' and Mercer added, "and you run the business."

Cranleigh
Coordinates: 51°08′11″N 0°28′42″W / 51.1363°N 0.4784°W / 51.1363; -0.4784
Cranleigh is a large village, self-proclaimed the largest in England, and is situated 8 miles south east of Godalming in Surrey. It lies to the east of the A281 which links Guildford with Horsham; neighbouring villages include: Ewhurst, Alfold and Hascombe.
Until the mid-1860s, the village was called "Cranley". The Post Office succeeded in getting the spelling changed to avoid confusion with nearby Crawley in West Sussex. The name is popularly - but incorrectly - believed to come from the large crane breeding grounds that were supposed to have been historically located at Vachery. The figure of a crane adorns the old drinking water fountain of 1874, that can still be found in the middle of the village in 'Fountain Square'.
Situated partly on the Greensand Ridge, where it rises to 700 feet (210 m) at Winterfold Hill, but mainly on the clay and sandstone Lower Weald, Cranleigh has little of prehistoric or Roman interest. A spur of the Roman road between London and Chichester runs north west to Guildford past nearby Farley Heath in Farley Green, a temple site. Cranleigh was not mentioned in the Domesday Book, at that time being part of the manor of Shere.

John Lennon was an English musician who gained worldwide fame as one of the founders of The Beatles, for his subsequent solo career, and for his political activism and pacifism. He was shot by Mark David Chapman at the entrance of the building where he lived, The Dakota, in New York City, on Monday, 8 December 1980; Lennon had just returned from Record Plant Studio with his wife, Yoko Ono.
Lennon was pronounced dead on arrival at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center, where it was stated that nobody could have lived for more than a few minutes after sustaining such injuries. Shortly after local news stations reported Lennon's death, crowds gathered at Roosevelt Hospital and in front of The Dakota. He was cremated on 10 December 1980, at the Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York; the ashes were given to Ono, who chose not to hold a funeral for him. The first report of his death to a national audience was announced by Howard Cosell, on ABC's Monday Night Football.

Denmark
The Kingdom of Denmark (Danish: Kongeriget Danmark, pronounced [ˈkɔŋəʁiːəð ˈdanmɑɡ̊] (
listen)) is a constitutional monarchy and sovereign state consisting the country of Denmark in northern Europe and two autonomous constituent countries, the Faroe Islands in the North Atlantic and Greenland in North America. The kingdom is a unitary state with some power being devolved from Denmark proper to Greenland and the Faroe Islands; this polity is referred to as the Danish Realm.

The Faroe Islands are defined to be a community of people within the kingdom, and the Greenlandic people are defined as a separate people with the right to self-determination.
Denmark is the southernmost of the Nordic countries, located southwest of Sweden and south of Norway, and bordered to the south by Germany. The country consists of a large peninsula, Jutland and many islands, most notably Zealand, Funen, Lolland, Falster and Bornholm, as well as hundreds of minor islands often referred to as the Danish Archipelago.

Hamburg
Hamburg ( /ˈhæmbɜrɡ/; German pronunciation: [ˈhambʊɐ̯k], local pronunciation [ˈhambʊɪç]; Low German/Low Saxon: Hamborg [ˈhaˑmbɔːx]), officially Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, is the second-largest city in Germany, the thirteenth largest German state, and the sixth-largest city in the European Union. The city is home to over 1.8 million people, while the Hamburg Metropolitan Region (including parts of the neighbouring Federal States of Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein) has more than 4.3 million inhabitants. Situated on the river Elbe, the port of Hamburg is the second largest port in Europe (after the Port of Rotterdam) and 11th-largest worldwide.
Hamburg's official name, Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg (German: Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg), reflects Hamburg's history as a member of the medieval Hanseatic League, as a free imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire, and that Hamburg is a city-state and one of the sixteen States of Germany.
Hamburg is a major transport hub in Northern Germany and is one of the most affluent cities in Europe. It has become a media and industrial centre, with plants and facilities belonging to Airbus, Blohm + Voss and Aurubis. The radio and television broadcaster Norddeutscher Rundfunk and publishers such as Gruner + Jahr and Spiegel-Verlag are pillars of the important media industry in Hamburg. In total, there are more than 120,000 enterprises.

India
India (
i/ˈɪndiə/), officially the Republic of India (Bhārat Gaṇarājya), is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by geographical area, the second-most populous country with over 1.2 billion people, and the most populous democracy in the world. Bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the south-west, and the Bay of Bengal on the south-east, it shares land borders with Pakistan to the west;China, Nepal, and Bhutan to the north-east; and Burma and Bangladesh to the east. In the Indian Ocean, India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka and the Maldives; in addition, India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands share a maritime border with Thailand and Indonesia.
Home to the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation and a region of historic trade routes and vast empires, the Indian subcontinent was identified with its commercial and cultural wealth for much of its long history. Four of the world's major religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism—originated here, whereas Zoroastrianism, Christianity, and Islam arrived in the 1st millennium CE and also helped shape the region's diverse culture. Gradually annexed by and brought under the administration of the British East India Company from the early 18th century and administered directly by the United Kingdom from the mid-19th century, India became an independent nation in 1947 after a struggle for independence that was marked by non-violent resistance led by Mahatma Gandhi.

Kaiserkeller
Kaiserkeller is a night club in the St. Pauli quarter of Hamburg, Germany, near the Reeperbahn. It was opened by Bruno Koschmider on October 14, 1959. The Beatles had a contract with Kaiserkeller to play there in 1960.
A Caribbean steel band that had played at Allan Williams Jacaranda club in Liverpool took an offer to play in Hamburg. After receiving letters enthusing about Hamburg's club scene, Williams made contact with Koschmider, offering to act as a booking agent, to which Koschmider agreed. Koschmider had previously booked Derry and the Seniors after seeing them perform in London, and as they were successful in Hamburg, he asked Williams to look for additional groups.Rory Storm and The Hurricanes were Williams' first choice, but as they were committed to a season at Butlins holiday camp, they turned his offer down (as did Gerry & The Pacemakers) so Williams sent The Beatles to Hamburg instead. They were required to play six or seven hours a night, seven nights a week. The Beatles first played at Koschmider's Indra club, sleeping in small, "dirty" rooms in the Bambi Kino, and then moved (after the closure of the Indra) to the larger Kaiserkeller.

Lancashire
Lancashire ( /ˈlæŋkəʃər/ or, less commonly, /ˈlæŋkəʃɪər/) is a non-metropolitan county of historic origin in the North West of England. It takes its name from the city of Lancaster, and is sometimes known as the County of Lancaster. Although Lancaster is still considered to be the county town, Lancashire County Council is based in Preston. Lancashire is sometimes referred to by the abbreviation Lancs, as originally used by the Royal Mail. The population of the county is 1,449,700. People from the county are known as Lancastrians.
The history of Lancashire is thought to have begun with its founding in the 12th century. In the Domesday Book (1086), some of its lands had been treated as part of Yorkshire. The land that lay Inter Ripam et Mersam, "between the Ribble and Mersey", formed part of the returns for Cheshire. Once its initial boundaries were established, it bordered Cumberland, Westmorland, Yorkshire and Cheshire.
Lancashire emerged during the Industrial Revolution as a major commercial and industrial region. The county encompassed several hundred mill towns and collieries. By the 1830s, approximately 85% of all cotton manufactured worldwide was processed in Lancashire.Preston, Accrington, Blackburn, Bolton, Rochdale, Oldham, Chorley, Darwen, Nelson, Colne and Burnley were major cotton mill towns during this time. Blackpool was a major centre for tourism for the inhabitants of Lancashire's mill towns, particularly during wakes week.

According to the Office for National Statistics, the 2010 mid-year population estimate for Liverpool was 445,200 and was part of a larger urban area of 816,216.
Historically a part of Lancashire, the urbanisation and expansion of Liverpool were both largely brought about by the city's status as a major port. By the 18th century, trade from the West Indies, Ireland and mainland Europe coupled with close links with the Atlantic Slave Trade furthered the economic expansion of Liverpool. By the early 19th century, 40% of the world's trade passed through Liverpool's docks, contributing to Liverpool's rise as a major city.
Inhabitants of Liverpool are referred to as Liverpudlians but are also colloquially known as "Scousers", in reference to the local dish known as "scouse", a form of stew. The word "Scouse" has also become synonymous with the Liverpool accent and dialect. Liverpool's status as a port city has contributed to its diverse population, which, historically, were drawn from a wide range of peoples, cultures, and religions, particularly those from Ireland. The city is also home to the oldest Black African community in the country and the oldest Chinese community in Europe.

Melbourne
Melbourne ([ˈmelbən, -bn̩, ˈmæl-],rhotically /ˈmɛlbərn/) is the capital and most populous city in the state of Victoria, and the second most populous city in Australia. The Melbourne City Centre is the hub of the greater metropolitan area and the Census statistical division—of which "Melbourne" is the common name. As of June 2010, the greater geographical area had an approximate population of four million. Inhabitants of Melbourne are called Melburnians or Melbournians.
The metropolis is located on the large natural bay known as Port Phillip, with the city centre positioned at the estuary of the Yarra River (at the northernmost point of the bay). The metropolitan area then extends south from the city centre, along the eastern and western shorelines of Port Phillip, and expands into the hinterland. The city centre is situated in the municipality known as the City of Melbourne, and the metropolitan area consists of a further 30 municipalities.
Melbourne was founded in 1835 (47 years after the European settlement of Australia) by settlers from Launceston in Van Diemen's Land. It was named by governor Richard Bourke in 1837, in honour of the British Prime Minister of the day, William Lamb—the 2nd Viscount Melbourne. Melbourne was officially declared a city by Queen Victoria in 1847. In 1851, it became the capital city of the newly created colony of Victoria. During the Victorian gold rush of the 1850s, it was transformed into one of the world's largest and wealthiest cities. After the federation of Australia in 1901, it then served as the interim seat of government of the newly created nation of Australia until 1927.

Monaco
Monacoi/ˈmɒnəkoʊ/, officially the Principality of Monaco (French: Principauté de Monaco; Monégasque: Principatu de Múnegu; Italian: Principato di Monaco; Occitan: Principat de Mónegue), is a sovereign city state, located on the French Riviera in Western Europe. Bordered by France on three sides, with one side bordering the Mediterranean Sea, its center is about 16 km (9.9 mi) from Italy, and is only 15 km (9.3 mi) north east of Nice, France. It has an area of 1.98 km2 (0.76 sq mi), and a population of 35,986, making Monaco the second smallest and the most densely populated country in the world. Monaco has a land border of only 4.4 km (2.7 mi), a coastline of 4.1 km (2.5 mi), and a width that varies between 1.7 km (1.1 mi) and 349 metres (382 yards). The highest point in the country is a narrow pathway named Chemin des Révoires on the slopes of Mont Agel, in the Les Révoires district, which is 161 metres (528 feet) above sea level. Monaco's most populated Quartier is Monte Carlo, and the most populated Ward is Larvotto/Bas Moulins. After a recent expansion of Port Hercules, Monaco's total area is 2.05 km2 (0.79 sq mi), with new plans to extend the district of Fontvieille, with land reclaimed from the Mediterranean Sea.

Monte Carlo
Monte Carlo (French: Monte-Carlo, Occitan: Montcarles, Monégasque: Monte-Carlu) is an administrative area of the Principality of Monaco.
Monte Carlo is widely known for its casino and its prominence. The permanent population is about 15,000 in Quarter. Monte Carlo quarter includes not only Monte Carlo proper where the Le Grand Casino is located, it also includes the neighbourhoods of Saint-Michel, Saint-Roman/Tenao, and the beach community of Larvotto. It is also one of Monaco's 10 wards, with a population of 3,500. It borders the French town of Beausoleil (sometimes referred to as Monte-Carlo-Supérieur).
The "Monte Carlo" name is of Italian origin, meaning "Mount Charles" named after the Prince Charles III of Monaco during the time of his reign.
Founded in 1866, Monte Carlo has a name of Italian origin meaning "Mount Charles", in honor of the then-reigning prince, Charles III of Monaco. The specific mountain is the escarpment at the foot of the Maritime Alps on which the town stands.
The history of the area and the ruling Grimaldi family, however, dates back centuries. The port of Monaco is first mentioned in historical records as early as 43 BC, when Julius Caesar concentrated his fleet there while waiting in vain for Pompey. In the 12th century, the area fell under the sovereignty of Genoa, which was granted the entire coastline from Porto Venere to Monaco. After much conflict, the Grimaldis regained the rock in 1295, but suffered a significant amount of opposition in the ensuing years. In 1506 the Monegasques, under Lucien, Lord of Monaco, were under siege for some four months by the Genoan army, which had ten times the number of men. Monaco officially received full autonomy in 1524, but experienced difficulty retaining power, and on occasions briefly fell under the domination of Spain, Sardinia, and France.

It is a parliamentary democracy organised as a unitary state. The country capital is Amsterdam and the seat of government is The Hague. The Netherlands in its entirety is often referred to as Holland, although North and South Holland are actually only two of its twelve provinces (a case of pars pro toto; see terminology of "the Netherlands").

New Zealand
New Zealand (Māori: Aotearoa) is an island country located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses ‒ that of the North and South Islands ‒ as well as numerous smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 1,500 kilometres (900 mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) south of the Pacific island nations of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans.
During its long isolation, New Zealand developed a distinctive biodiversity of both animal and plant life. Most notable are the large number of unique bird species, many of which became extinct after the arrival of humans and introduced mammals. With a mild maritime climate, the land was mostly covered in forest. The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions caused by the Pacific and Indo-Australian Plates clashing beneath the earth's surface.

"Penny Lane" is a song by The Beatles, written primarily by Paul McCartney. It was credited to Lennon–McCartney.
Recorded during the Sgt. Pepper sessions, "Penny Lane" was released in February 1967 as one side of a double A-sided single, along with "Strawberry Fields Forever". Both songs were later included on the Magical Mystery Tour LP (1967). The single was the result of the record company wanting a new release after several months of no new Beatles releases.
In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked "Penny Lane" at #456 on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
The song's title is derived from the name of a street near Lennon's house, in the band's hometown, Liverpool. McCartney and Lennon would meet at Penny Lane junction in the Mossley Hill area to catch a bus into the centre of the city. The area that surrounds its junction with Smithdown Road is also commonly called Penny Lane. At the time, in the 1960s, this was a significant bus terminus for several routes, and buses with "Penny Lane" displayed were common throughout Liverpool.

Savile Row
Savile Row (pronounced /ˌsævɪl ˈroʊ/) is a shopping street in Mayfair, central London, famous for its traditional men's bespoke tailoring. The term "bespoke" is understood to have originated in Savile Row when cloth for a suit was said to "be spoken for" by individual customers. The short street is termed the "golden mile of tailoring", where customers have included Winston Churchill, Lord Nelson, Napoleon III and Mohammad Ali Jinnah.
Savile Row runs parallel to Regent Street between Conduit Street at the northern end and Vigo Street at the southern. Linking roads include Burlington Place, Clifford Street and Burlington Gardens.
Savile Row was built between 1731 and 1735 as part of the development of the Burlington Estate, and is named after Lady Dorothy Savile, wife of the 3rd Earl of Burlington. It originally ran from Burlington Gardens (then Vigo Lane) to Boyle Street, with houses only on the east side, but in 1937–8 it extended to Conduit Street, and in the 19th century houses were built on the west side. The original architectural plan is believed to have been drawn up by Colen Campbell, though Henry Flitcroft appears to have been the main architect of the street, under the supervision of Daniel Garrett, while Nos 1 and 22–23 Savile Row were designed by William Kent, who lived next door in No 2.Dr Livingstone was laid out in state in No 1, when it was the headquarters of the Royal Geographical Society, before being buried in Westminster Abbey.

Strawberry Field was a Salvation Army children's home in Woolton, a suburb of Liverpool, England.
The earliest reference to 'Strawberry Field' dates from 1870. In 1912 it was transferred to a wealthy merchant whose widow sold the estate to the Salvation Army in 1934. It opened on 7 July 1936. The original house was later demolished and replaced with a smaller purpose-built home for children which opened in the early 1970s. This home provided three family units, each accommodating 12 children. It closed in early January 2005 and is now a church and prayer centre. The famous gates marking its entrance were removed and replaced with replicas in May 2011.
The name of the home became world famous in 1967 with the release of The Beatles single "Strawberry Fields Forever" written by John Lennon. Lennon grew up near the home - one of his childhood treats was the garden party that took place each summer on the grounds of Strawberry Field. Lennon's Aunt Mimi recalled: 'As soon as we could hear the Salvation Army Band starting, John would jump up and down shouting "Mimi, come on. We're going to be late."' He and his childhood friends Pete Shotton and Ivan Vaughan often played in the wooded area behind the building, which Lennon nicknamed in the plural "Strawberry Fields."

Sweden
Sweden (i/ˈswiːdən/ SWEE-dən; Swedish: Sverige [ˈsværjɛ] ( listen)), officially the Kingdom of Sweden (Swedish: Konungariket Sverige (help·info)), is a Nordic country on the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe. Sweden borders with Norway and Finland, and is connected to Denmark by a bridge-tunnel across the Øresund.
At 450,295 square kilometres (173,860 sq mi), Sweden is the third largest country in the European Union by area, with a total population of about 9.4 million. Sweden has a low population density of 21 inhabitants per square kilometre (54 /sq mi) with the population mostly concentrated to the southern half of the country. About 85% of the population live in urban areas. Sweden's capital city is Stockholm, which is also the largest city.
Sweden emerged as an independent and unified country during the Middle Ages. In the 17th century, the country expanded its territories to form the Swedish Empire. The empire grew to be one of the great powers of Europe in the 17th and early 18th century. Most of the conquered territories outside the Scandinavian Peninsula were lost during the 18th and 19th centuries. The eastern half of Sweden, present-day Finland, was lost to Russia in 1809. The last war in which Sweden was directly involved was in 1814, when Sweden by military means forced Norway into a personal union. Since then, Sweden has been at peace, practicing "non-participation in military alliances during peacetime and neutrality during wartime". However, Sweden has been a member of the European Union since 1 January 1995 and is a member of the OECD.

Texas
Texas (i/ˈtɛksəs/) (Alibamu: Teksi ) is the second most populous and the second most extensive of the 50 United States, and the most extensive state of the 48 contiguous United States. The name, based on the Caddo word "Tejas" meaning "friends" or "allies", was applied by the Spanish to the Caddo themselves and to the region of their settlement in East Texas. Located in the South Central United States, Texas shares an international border with the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas to the south, and borders the US states of New Mexico to the west, Oklahoma to the north, Arkansas to the northeast, and Louisiana to the east. Texas has an area of 268,820 square miles (696,200 km2), and a growing population of 25.7 million residents.
During the Spanish colonial rule, the area was officially known as the Nuevo Reino de Filipinas: La Provincia de Texas. Antonio Margil de Jesús was known to be the first person to use the name in a letter to the Viceroy of Mexico in July 20, 1716. The name was not popularly used in daily speech but often appeared in legal documents until the end of the 1800s.

The Beatles in India
The Beatles visited Rishikesh in India in 1968 to attend an advanced Transcendental Meditation (TM) training session at the ashram of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Amidst widespread media attention, their stay at the ashram was one of the band's most productive periods. Their adoption of the Maharishi as their guru is credited by some as changing attitudes in the West about Indian spirituality, and encouraging the study of Transcendental Meditation. The Beatles first met the Maharishi in London in August 1967 and then attended a seminar in Bangor, Wales. Although planned to be a 10-day session, their stay was cut short by the death of their manager, Brian Epstein. Wanting to learn more, they kept in contact with the Maharishi and planned to attend his ashram in October, but their trip was rescheduled due to other commitments.
The Maharishi's compound was across from Rishikesh, located in the holy "Valley of the Saints" in the foothills of the Himalayas, and the home to many ashrams. The Beatles arrived there in February 1968, along with wives, girlfriends, assistants and numerous reporters, joining about 60 other TM students, including musicians Donovan, Mike Love of The Beach Boys, and flautist Paul Horn. While there, Lennon, McCartney and Harrison wrote many songs (Ringo Starr wrote one), of which eighteen were later recorded for The Beatles (White Album), two for Abbey Road, and others for solo works.

The Cavern Club
The Cavern Club is a rock and roll club in Liverpool, England. Opened on Wednesday 16 January 1957, the club had their first performance by The Beatles on 9 February 1961, and where Brian Epstein first saw The Beatles performing on 9 November 1961.
Alan Sytner opened the club having been inspired by the Jazz district in Paris, where there were a number of clubs in cellars. Sytner returned to Liverpool and wanted to open a club similar to Le Caveau in Paris. He eventually found a perfect cellar for his club — which had been used as an air raid shelter during the war — and opened it on 16 January 1957. The first act to open the club was the Merseysippi Jazz Band.
What started as a jazz club eventually became a hangout for skiffle groups. Whilst playing golf with Sytner's father, Dr. Joseph Sytner, Nigel Walley — who had left school at 15 to become an apprentice golf professional at the Lee Park Golf Club — asked Dr. Sytner if his son could book The Quarrymen at The Cavern, which was one of three jazz clubs he managed. Dr. Sytner suggested that the band should play at the golf club first, so as to assess their talent, which they did. Sytner phoned Walley a week later and offered the band an interlude spot playing skiffle between the performances of two jazz bands at The Cavern, on Wednesday, 7 August 1957.

Alfred Lennon
Alfred "Alf" Lennon (14 December 1912 – 1 April 1976) was the father of English musician John Lennon. He spent many years in an orphanage—with his sister, Edith—after his father died. He was known as being very witty and musical throughout his life—he sang and played the banjo—but not as being very dependable. Although always known as Alf by his family, he later released a record as Freddie Lennon, and was quoted in newspapers under that name.
He married Julia Stanley in 1938. John was their only child together, but as Alf was often away at sea during World War II, he did not see much of his child during his infancy. During this period, Julia became pregnant with another man's child. He offered to look after his wife, their child and the expected baby, but Julia rejected the idea. He had very little contact with his son until Beatlemania, when they met again, but later had only intermittent contact with each other. He died in Brighton, where he had gone to live after marrying 19-year-old Pauline Jones.

Alistair Taylor
James Alistair Taylor (21 June 1935 in Runcorn – 9 June 2004 in Chesterfield) was the English personal assistant of Brian Epstein who accompanied him to the Cavern Club when he first saw The Beatles play on 9 November 1961. Taylor later became General Manager of Apple Corps for a short period.
Born in Runcorn, Taylor did his National Service in the Royal Air Force and worked in a series of jobs as a mover, timber importer and docker in the Liverpool Docks, before being successfully interviewed by Brian Epstein for a salesman job at North End Music Stores (NEMS). Brian liked him so much that he decided to offer him a job as his personal assistant in the shop.
Taylor said he invented the name of Raymond Jones to order Tony Sheridan’s album, which featured backing music by the Beatles, because he thought NEMS was losing sales by not stocking the disc:
Taylor's claim is in some doubt, as NEMS and Epstein communicated with a real Raymond Jones to acknowledge their debt once the Beatles became famous.

Allan Williams
Allan Richard Williams (born 17 March 1930 in Bootle, Liverpool) is a former businessman and promoter of Welsh descent. He was the original booking agent and first manager of The Beatles. He personally took the young band to Hamburg, Germany, where they gained the vital show business experience that led to their emergence on the world stage.
In 1957 Williams leased a former watch-repair shop at 21 Slater Street, Liverpool, which he converted into a coffee bar. He named the venue the Jacaranda, after an exotic species of ornamental flowering tree, jacaranda mimosifolia. The Jac (as it became known) opened in September 1958. The Beatles were frequent customers, with John Lennon and Stuart Sutcliffe attending Liverpool Art College nearby, and Paul McCartney at Liverpool Institute adjacent to the college. Asking for the chance to play the club, Williams instead put them to work redecorating, with Lennon and Sutcliffe painting a mural for the Ladies room. Finally, the Beatles began playing at the Jac on occasion. Between May and August 1960, Williams secured a number of bookings for the group at other places. (Scott Wheeler: Charlie Lennon: Uncle To A Beatle. Boulder, Colorado: Outskirts Press, 2005.) One was backing a local stripper; when she discovered the Beatles were not familiar with the "Gypsy Fire Dance", they instead backed her with a rendition of the Harry Lime theme tune.

As a teenager, he worked in several jobs while attending evening classes. He excelled at mental arithmetic, and graduated from Upsala College, East Orange, New Jersey, in 1956.
He undertook bookkeeping for several people in showbusiness, and audited record companies. In 1957 he began his own business, a partnership with his wife Betty. Record industry insiders began to fear his blunt-speaking tenacity, and well-placed people began to recommend him. Klein regarded himself as a shrewd and tenacious businessman, exampled by him having a modified Bible quote on his desk, reading: "Though I walk in the shadow of the valley of evil, I have no fear, as I am the biggest bastard in the valley."

Anya Amasova
Major Anya Amasova (aka Agent XXX) is a fictional character and the deuteragonist in the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me, portrayed by Barbara Bach. In the film Amasova is an agent of the KGB.
After the theft of a submarine, M recalls Bond from a mission where he is currently in a cabin located in Austria (in the novelisation, on the top of Aiguille du Mort, a mountain near the town of Chamonix). While leaving Bond is ambushed by a Russian team, but is able to kill one of them in self-defense prior to parachuting off the mountain. Unbeknownst to Bond, the agent he killed is Amasova's lover Sergei Barsov. She has also been recalled from a mission by General Gogol of the KGB.
Anya meets Bond during a show at the Pyramids in Egypt, where her thugs fight with Bond when she believes he has killed Fekkesh, an Egyptian contact whose body has been found in one of the pyramids. The real killer was Jaws.
However, they become formally introduced to one another in Cairo when they both arrive at Max Kalba's club. After spouting various biographical information to each other (for example, Anya is aware of Bond's doomed marriage), they attempt to outbid one another for a secret microfilm. When Kalba is killed by Jaws, they travel across Egypt tracking the microfilm. After Anya ultimately outwits Bond for the microfilm (but Bond had reviewed it), they report to the Abu Simbel temple where Gogol and M have decided to work together to find out how and why their submarines are being stolen while at sea.

Apple scruffs
The Apple scruffs were a loosely-knit group of hardcore Beatles fans who were known for congregating outside the Apple Corps building and at the gates of Abbey Road Studios in London during the waning days of Beatlemania, in the hope of seeing or interacting with one of the band members. The phrase was also used by George Harrison as the title of a song in 1970.
In February 1968, during the recording of "Across the Universe", two Apple scruffs (Lizzie Bravo and Gayleen Pease) who were standing outside Abbey Road Studios were invited in on the spur of the moment by Paul McCartney to perform backing vocals on the track. Their singing was not included on the first official release of the song, on the Let It Be album, but they can be heard on the version that John Lennon donated to the UK charity album No One's Gonna Change Our World, released in December 1969. (This version was subsequently released on the Past Masters compilation in 1988.)
The Beatles' song "She Came In Through the Bathroom Window" (Abbey Road, 1969) refers to the day that some of the Apple scruffs climbed into Paul McCartney's house through an upstairs bathroom window and raided his wardrobe for a pair of trousers, which they took turns wearing. They also stole a framed photograph, which they later returned at McCartney's request.

Mardin grew up listening to the likes of Bing Crosby and Glenn Miller. Through his sister he met jazz critic Cuneyt Sermet, who turned him onto this music and eventually became his mentor. After graduating from Istanbul University in Economics and Commerce, Mardin studied at the London School of Economics. Influenced by his sister's music records and jazz, he was also an accomplished orchestrator and arranger, but he never intended to pursue a career in music. However, he made two solo albums: Glass Onion, in 1970, and Journey, in 1975. In Journey, he was the composer and arranger, but he also played electric piano and percussion, and was accompanied by many stars of jazz (Randy and Michael Brecker, Joe Farrell, Gary Burton, Ron Carter, Steve Gadd, Billy Cobham and many others).

His paternal grandparents emigrated from Iași in Romania. His cousin on his mother's side is founder of 'N Sync and the Backstreet Boys, Lou Pearlman. Garfunkel attended the Forest Hills High School. According to the Across America DVD, Garfunkel's love for singing "came in the first grade. When we were lined up in size order, and after everyone else had left, I'd stay behind and enjoy the echo sound of the stairwell tiles and sing 'Unchained Melody' and 'You'll Never Walk Alone', learning to love this goose-bumps song from the tender age of five." Later, Garfunkel's father bought him a wire recorder and from then on, Garfunkel spent his afternoons singing, recording and playing it back, so he could listen for flaws and learn how to improve.

Bee Gees
The Bee Gees were a musical group founded in 1958. The group's line-up consisted of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were successful for most of their decades of recording music, but they had two distinct periods of exceptional success: as a pop act in the late 1960s/early 1970s, and as prominent performers of the disco music era in the late 1970s.
The group sang three-part tight harmonies that were instantly recognisable; Robin's clear vibrato lead was a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the late 1970s and 1980s. The brothers wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists.
Born in the Isle of Man to English parents, the Gibb brothers lived their first few years in Chorlton, Manchester, England, then moved in the late 1950s to Redcliffe, Queensland, Australia, where they began their musical careers. After achieving their first chart success in Australia with "Spicks and Specks" (their 12th single), they returned to the United Kingdom in January 1967 where producer Robert Stigwood began promoting them to a worldwide audience.

Rheumatic fever, which he first contracted as a child, damaged his heart and ultimately contributed to his death. An early British rock and roll (and film) star, he equalled The Beatles' record of 24 hits in the 1960s, and spent 332 weeks on the UK charts, without a chart-topping single or album.Allmusic journalist, Bruce Eder, stated, "His mix of rough-hewn good looks and unassuming masculinity, coupled with an underlying vulnerability, all presented with a good voice and some serious musical talent, helped turn Fury into a major rock and roll star in short order". Others have suggested that Fury's rapid rise to prominence was due to his "Elvis Presley-influenced, hip-swivelling, and at times highly suggestive stage act."

Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan (
/ˈdɪlən/), born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941, is an American singer-songwriter, musician and artist. He has been an influential figure in popular music and culture for five decades. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s when he was an informal chronicler and a seemingly reluctant figurehead of social unrest. A number of Dylan's early songs, such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin'", became anthems for the US civil rights and anti-war movements. Leaving his initial base in the culture of folk music behind, Dylan's six-minute single "Like a Rolling Stone" has been described as radically altering the parameters of popular music in 1965. However, his recordings employing electric instruments attracted denunciation and criticism from others in the folk movement.
Dylan's lyrics incorporated a variety of political, social, philosophical, and literary influences. They defied existing pop music conventions and appealed hugely to the then burgeoning counterculture. Initially inspired by the songs of Woody Guthrie,Robert Johnson, and Hank Williams, as well as the music and performance styles of Buddy Holly and Little Richard, Dylan has both amplified and personalized musical genres. His recording career, spanning fifty years, has explored numerous distinct traditions in American song—from folk, blues and country to gospel, rock and roll, and rockabilly to English, Scottish, and Irish folk music, embracing even jazz and swing.

Noted for his deadpan and slightly stammering delivery, Newhart came to prominence in the 1960s when his album of comedic monologues The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart was a worldwide bestseller and reached #1 on the Billboard pop music charts—it remains the 20th best-selling comedy album in history. The follow-up album, The Button-Down Mind Strikes Back! was also a massive success, and both albums held the Billboard #1 and #2 spots simultaneously, a feat unequaled until the 1991 release of Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II by hard rock band Guns N' Roses.
Newhart later went into acting, starring in two long-running and prize-winning situation comedies, first as psychologist Dr. Robert "Bob" Hartley on the 1970s sitcom The Bob Newhart Show and then as innkeeper Dick Loudon on the 1980s sitcom Newhart. He also had a third, short-lived sitcom in the nineties titled Bob. Newhart also appeared in film roles such as Major Major in Catch-22, and Papa Elf in Elf.

Brian Epstein
Brian Samuel Epstein ( /ˈɛpstaɪn/; 19 September 1934 – 27 August 1967), was an English music entrepreneur; best known for being the manager of The Beatles, until his death. He also managed many other musical artists, such as Gerry & the Pacemakers, Billy J. Kramer and The Dakotas, Cilla Black, The Remo Four, and The Cyrkle. His management company was named NEMS Enterprises after his family's music stores, also called NEMS (North End Music Stores).
Epstein paid for The Beatles to record a demonstration tape in Decca's London studios, which resulted in Decca declining to sign the group to a contract. After approaching nearly all all the major recording companies and recording producers in London and being rejected, Epstein managed to secure an EMI recording contract under threat of withdrawing the sale of EMI's records at his NEMS music stores. NEMS was one of the biggest musical retail outlets in the North of England. Record producer George Martin offered a contract on behalf of EMI's small Parlophone label, only when informed of the economic threat to EMI by Epstein.

Brian Jones
Lewis Brian Hopkins Jones (28 February 1942 – 3 July 1969), was an English musician and a founder member of the Rolling Stones.
Jones' main instruments were the guitar and the harmonica, but he played a wide variety of other musical instruments and was a talented multi-instrumentalist. His innovative use of traditional or folk instruments, such as the sitar and marimba, was integral to the changing sound of the band.
Originally the leader of the group, Jones' fellow bandmembers Mick Jagger and Keith Richards soon overshadowed him; especially after they became a successful songwriting team. He developed a serious drug abuse problem over the years and his role in the band steadily diminished. He was asked to leave the Rolling Stones in June 1969 and guitarist Mick Taylor took his place in the group. Jones died less than a month later by drowning in the swimming pool at his home on Cotchford Farm in East Sussex.
Original Stones bassist Bill Wyman stated about Jones: "...he formed the band. He chose the members. He named the band. He chose the music we played. He got us gigs ... Very influential, very important, and then slowly lost it - highly intelligent - and just kind of wasted it and blew it all away."

Brian Wilson
Brian Douglas Wilson (born June 20, 1942) is an American musician, best known as the leader and chief songwriter of the group The Beach Boys. On stage, Wilson provided many of the lead vocals, and often harmonized with the group in falsetto. Early during his on-stage career, Wilson primarily played bass on stage, but gradually transitioned to primarily playing piano/keyboards. Besides being the primary composer in The Beach Boys, he also functioned as the band's main producer and arranger. After signing with Capitol Records in mid-1962, Wilson wrote or co-wrote more than two dozen Top 40 hits including "Surfin' Safari", "Surfin' USA", "Shut Down", "Little Deuce Coupe", "Be True to Your School", "In My Room", "Fun, Fun, Fun", "I Get Around", "Dance Dance Dance", "Help Me Rhonda", "California Girls" and "Good Vibrations". These songs and their accompanying albums were internationally popular, making The Beach Boys one of the biggest acts of their time.
In the mid-60s Wilson used his increasingly creative ambitions to compose and produce Pet Sounds, considered one of the greatest albums of all time. At this point his music was considered to rival that of Lennon–McCartney. The intended follow up to Pet Sounds, Smile, was cancelled for various reasons, including Wilson's deteriorating mental health. Wilson's contributions to The Beach Boys diminished as the years went by, and his erratic behavior led to tensions with the band. After years of treatment and recuperation, he began a solo career in 1988 with Brian Wilson, the same year that he and The Beach Boys were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Since then he has toured for the first time in decades with a new band and released acclaimed albums such as a reworked version of Smile in 2004, for which Wilson won a Grammy Award for "Mrs. O'Leary's Cow (Fire)" as Best Rock Instrumental, That Lucky Old Sun, and Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin.

Britt Allcroft
Britt Allcroft is the multi- award-winning creator of a trio of children's entertainment produced in the 1980s and 1990s: Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends, (now retitled Thomas & Friends), Shining Time Station (with co-creator Rick Siggelkow) and Britt Allcroft's Magic Adventures of Mumfie.
She was born Hilary Mary Allcroft,[citation needed] in Worthing, England and, at 16, changed her name to Britt as her career in British radio and TV gained momentum. She went on to create a string of shows for the BBC and ITV networks, including Moon Clue Game, Get it, Got it, Good, Dance Crazy, Keepsakes and Mothers by Daughters . She worked in live theatre, staging shows at the London Palladium and Drury Lane Theatres.
In 1979, after finishing Flower Stories, a series of 15 shorts for London Weekend Television, Allcroft was making a five-minute film for the Central Office of Information about the resurgence of interest in steam railways. One inspiration for the film was A Guide to the Steam Railways of Britain, a book compiled by the Rev. W. Awdry and Dr Christopher Cook, and published by Eric Marriott, the former editor of The Railway Series. As Awdry would be taking part in the programme, Allcroft was prompted to read some of the volumes of the Railway Series, for the first time. She said: "it really didn't take me long to become intrigued by the characters and the relationships between them and the simplicity of the stories. I was equally intrigued by the illustrations, the landscape in them and the nostalgia they invoked." She met Awdry, saying she wanted to make a TV series, based on his stories. Although Awdry was initially reluctant, a deal was eventually done. It took Britt three years to raise the finance and find all the people who could make her dream come true. The first episode of Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends, was aired in the UK in September 1984.

Bruce Spizer
David "Bruce" Spizer (born July 2, 1955) is a tax attorney in New Orleans, Louisiana, who is also recognized as an expert on The Beatles. He has published eight books, and is frequently quoted as an authority on the history of the band and its recordings.
Spizer was born and raised in New Orleans. He attended Isidore Newman School and then received B.A., M.B.A., and J.D. degrees from Tulane University, where he was a member of honorary societies Phi Beta Kappa and the Order of the Coif. While pursuing his legal career, he also managed The Cold, a popular New Wave band in New Orleans.
In 1997, Spizer earned a large legal fee from the settlement of a class action lawsuit, and decided to use some of the money to replace his childhood collection of Beatles LPs (which had been damaged by cockroaches) with a new set of first edition albums. Drawn into the world of Beatles collectors, he ended up writing and self-publishing The Beatles Records on Vee-Jay, about the relationship between EMI, the Beatles' U.K. record label, and Vee-Jay Records, the U.S. label that released the band's first records in the U.S. As of 2011, Spizer has written and published eight books about The Beatles. A New York Times reviewer described his books as containing "a wealth of detail about the Beatles' American recordings and their first visit to the United States, touching on everything from contracts and lawsuits to promotional materials, all richly illustrated." A New York Daily News article called his The Beatles' Story on Capitol Records "a Beatle collector's fantasy by a fanatic Beatles collector and historian."

Bruno Koschmider
Bruno Koschmider (born 1926, Danzig (Gdańsk) - died 2000, Hamburg, Germany) was a German entrepreneur in Hamburg, Germany best known for employing The Beatles in the early 1960s. He controlled various businesses, such as the Bambi Kino, which was a porn cinema, The Indra club and The Kaiserkeller.
Allan Williams booked The Beatles (in May 1960) into Koschmider's Indra club.
The Beatles first played at the Indra club - sleeping in small, dirty rooms in the Bambi Kino - and then moved (after the closure of the Indra) to the larger Kaiserkeller In October 1960, they left Koschmider's club and worked at the "Top Ten Club", which was run by Peter Eckhorn. When Paul McCartney and Pete Best went back to the Bambi Kino to get their belongings they found it in almost total darkness. As a snub to Koschmider, they found a condom, attached it to a nail on the concrete wall of their room, and set fire to it. There was no real damage, but Koschmider reported them for attempted arson. McCartney and Best spent three hours in a local jail and were deported, as was George Harrison, for working under the legal age limit.

Buddy Holly
Charles Hardin Holley (September 7, 1936 – February 3, 1959), known professionally as Buddy Holly, was an American singer-songwriter and a pioneer of rock and roll. Although his success lasted only a year and a half before his death in an airplane crash, Holly is described by critic Bruce Eder as "the single most influential creative force in early rock and roll."

Buddy Rich
Bernard "Buddy" Rich (September 30, 1917 – April 2, 1987) was an American jazz drummer and bandleader. Rich was billed as "the world's greatest drummer" and was known for his virtuosic technique, power, groove, and speed.
Rich was born in Brooklyn, New York, to Jewish vaudevillians Robert and Bess Rich. His talent for rhythm was first noted by his father, who saw that Buddy could keep a steady beat with spoons at the age of one. He began playing drums in vaudeville when he was 18 months old, billed as "Traps the Drum Wonder." At the peak of Rich's childhood career, he was reportedly the second-highest paid child entertainer in the world (after Jackie Coogan). At 11 he was performing as a bandleader. He received no formal drum instruction, and went so far as to claim that instruction would only degrade his musical talent. He also never admitted to practicing, claiming to play the drums only during performances[citation needed] and was not known to read music. He expressed great admiration for, and was influenced by, the playing of Chick Webb, Gene Krupa, Dave Tough, and Jo Jones, among others.[citation needed].

Carl Perkins
Carl Lee Perkins (April 9, 1932 – January 19, 1998) was an American rockabilly musician who recorded most notably at Sun Records Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, beginning during 1954. His best known song is "Blue Suede Shoes".
According to Charlie Daniels, "Carl Perkins' songs personified the rockabilly era, and Carl Perkins' sound personifies the rockabilly sound more so than anybody involved in it, because he never changed." Perkins' songs were recorded by artists (and friends) as influential as Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and Johnny Cash, which further cemented his place in the history of popular music.
Called "the King of Rockabilly", he was inducted into the Rock and Roll, the Rockabilly, and the Nashville Songwriters Halls of Fame; and was a Grammy Hall of Fame Award recipient.
Perkins was the son of poor sharecroppers, Buck and Louise Perkins (misspelled on his birth certificate as "Perkings") near Tiptonville, Tennessee. He grew up hearing Southern gospel music sung by whites in church, and by black field workers when he started working in the cotton fields at age six. During spring and autumn, the school day would be followed by several hours of work in fields. During the summer, workdays were 12–14 hours, "from can to can't." Carl and his brother Jay together would earn 50 cents a day. With all family members working and not having any credit, there was enough money for beans and potatoes, some tobacco for Carl's father Buck, and occasionally the luxury of a five-cent bag of hard candy.

Carole King
Carole King (born February 9, 1942) is an American singer, songwriter, and pianist. King and her former husband Gerry Goffin wrote more than two dozen chart hits for numerous artists during the 1960s, many of which have become standards. As a singer, her Tapestry album topped the U.S. album chart for 15 weeks in 1971, and remained on the charts for more than six years.
She was most successful as a performer in the first half of the 1970s, although she was a successful songwriter long before and long after. She had her first number 1 hit as a songwriter in 1961 at age 18, with "Will You Love Me Tomorrow", which she wrote with Goffin. In 1997, she co-wrote "The Reason" for Aerosmith, but instead it was sung by Celine Dion.
In 2000, Joel Whitburn, a Billboard Magazine pop music researcher, named her the most successful female songwriter of 1955–99, because she wrote or co-wrote 118 pop hits on the Billboard Hot 100.
King has made 25 solo albums, the most successful being Tapestry. Her most recent non-compilation album is Live at the Troubadour, a collaboration with James Taylor, which reached number 4 on the charts in its first week, and has sold over 600,000 copies.

Chuck Berry
Charles Edward Anderson "Chuck" Berry (born October 18, 1926) is an American guitarist, singer and songwriter, and one of the pioneers of rock and roll music. With songs such as "Maybellene" (1955), "Roll Over Beethoven" (1956), "Rock and Roll Music" (1957) and "Johnny B. Goode" (1958), Chuck Berry refined and developed rhythm and blues into the major elements that made rock and roll distinctive, with lyrics focusing on teen life and consumerism and utilizing guitar solos and showmanship that would be a major influence on subsequent rock music.
Born into a middle class family in St. Louis, Missouri, Berry had an interest in music from an early age and gave his first public performance at Sumner High School. While still a high school student he served a prison sentence for armed robbery between 1944 and 1947. On his release, Berry settled into married life and worked at an automobile assembly plant. By early 1953, influenced by the guitar riffs and showmanship techniques of blues player T-Bone Walker, he was performing in the evenings with the Johnnie Johnson Trio. His break came when he traveled to Chicago in May 1955, and met Muddy Waters, who suggested he contact Leonard Chess of Chess Records. With Chess he recorded "Maybellene"—Berry's adaptation of the country song "Ida Red"—which sold over a million copies, reaching No. 1 on Billboard's Rhythm and Blues chart. By the end of the 1950s, Berry was an established star with several hit records and film appearances to his name as well as a lucrative touring career. He had also established his own St. Louis-based nightclub, called Berry's Club Bandstand. But in January 1962, Berry was sentenced to three years in prison for offenses under the Mann Act—he had transported a 14-year-old girl across state lines.

Derek Taylor
Derek Taylor (7 May 1932 – 8 September 1997) was an English journalist, writer and publicist, best known for his work as press officer for The Beatles. He had started his career as a local journalist in Liverpool working for the Liverpool Daily Post and Echo, then becoming a North England-based writer for national British newspapers that included the News Chronicle, the Sunday Dispatch and the Sunday Express. He also served as a regular columnist and theatre critic for the Daily Express.
Taylor was a national journalist when he was assigned to write a review of a Beatles concert. He had been expected by his editors to write a piece critical of what at that time was considered by the national press as an inconsequential teen fad. However, he was enchanted by the group and instead sang their praises. Shortly afterwards, he was invited to meet The Beatles and soon became a trusted journalist in their circle.
As The Beatles gained national attention in Britain, Taylor's editors conceived of running a column ostensibly written by a Beatle to boost circulation, to be ghostwritten by Taylor. George Harrison was the Beatle eventually decided upon. Although Taylor was initially only given the right to approve or disapprove of the content, Harrison's dissection of the first draft turned the column into an ongoing collaboration between the two, with Harrison providing the stories and Taylor providing the polish.

Eric Carr
Paul Charles Caravello (July 12, 1950 – November 24, 1991), also known as Eric Carr, was an American musician, best known as drummer for the rock band Kiss. Caravello was selected as the new Kiss drummer after Peter Criss left in 1980, where he took up the "Fox" persona. He remained a band member until his death of complications from heart cancer in November 1991, aged 41. Caravello was an artist and went to the High School of Art & Design in New York City.
Caravello played with a string of bands mostly performing covers of well-known songs before joining Kiss. The first band, "The Cellarmen", was formed in 1965 by him and a couple of friends. They started playing local clubs in Brooklyn and Queens. Only a handful of recordings were made, released on the "Jody" label, a small Brooklyn recording studio. Caravello then joined a band called "Things That Go Bump In The Night" and later "Smack", the latter of which consisted mostly of members from "The Cellarmen", who disbanded in 1968.
"Salt & Pepper" was Caravello's next cover band, playing music from multiple genres. He would go on with this band for nine years. The band enjoyed some success, performing as opening act for established names such as Stevie Wonder and Nina Simone. Changing name to "Creation" in 1973, the band was now performing disco music. Tragedy struck when a fire broke out during a discothèque gig in Port Chester, New York, killing dozens of people including the band's keyboardist and lead singer. Caravello escaped and was credited with saving another person. It was determined that the fire had been started by a thief in an adjacent building hoping to cover his tracks.

Eric Clapton
Eric Patrick Clapton, CBE, (born 30 March 1945) is an English guitarist and singer-songwriter. Clapton is the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: once as a solo artist, and separately as a member of The Yardbirds and Cream. Clapton has been referred to as one of the most important and influential guitarists of all time. Clapton ranked second in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" and fourth in Gibson's Top 50 Guitarists of All Time.

Immediately after leaving Mayall, Clapton formed Cream, a power trio with drummer Ginger Baker and bassist Jack Bruce in which Clapton played sustained blues improvisations and "arty, blues-based psychedelic pop." For most of the 1970s, Clapton's output bore the influence of the mellow style of J.J. Cale and the reggae of Bob Marley. His version of Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff" helped reggae reach a mass market. Two of his most popular recordings were "Layla", recorded by Derek and the Dominos, another band he formed and Robert Johnson's "Crossroads", recorded by Cream. A recipient of seventeen Grammy Awards, in 2004 Clapton was awarded a CBE for services to music.

His father served in the Royal Air Force and survived World War II, only to be killed in a hitch-hiking accident when Idle was only two years old. His mother had difficulty coping with a full-time job and raising a child, so when Idle was seven, she enrolled him into the Royal Wolverhampton School as a boarder. At this time the school was a charitable foundation dedicated to the education and maintenance of children who had lost one or both parents. Idle is quoted as saying: "It was a physically abusive, bullying, harsh environment for a kid to grow up in. I got used to dealing with groups of boys and getting on with life in unpleasant circumstances and being smart and funny and subversive at the expense of authority. Perfect training for Python."

He began writing classical music in high school, while at the same time playing drums in rhythm and blues bands; he later switched to electric guitar.
He was a self-taught composer and performer, and his diverse musical influences led him to create music that was often impossible to categorize. His 1966 debut album with The Mothers of Invention, Freak Out!, combined songs in conventional rock and roll format with collective improvisations and studio-generated sound collages. His later albums shared this eclectic and experimental approach, irrespective of whether the fundamental format was one of rock, jazz or classical. His lyrics—often humorously—reflected his iconoclastic view of established social and political processes, structures and movements. He was a strident critic of mainstream education and organized religion, and a forthright and passionate advocate for freedom of speech, self-education, political participation and the abolition of censorship.

George Harrison
George Harrison,MBE (25 February 1943 – 29 November 2001) was an English musician and singer-songwriter who achieved international fame as lead guitarist of The Beatles. Often referred to as "the quiet Beatle", Harrison became over time an admirer of Indian culture and mysticism, and introduced it to the other Beatles, as well as their Western audience. Following the band's break-up he was a successful solo artist, and later a founding member of the Traveling Wilburys. Harrison was also a session musician and a film and record producer. He is listed at number 11 in Rolling Stone magazine's list of "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".
Although most of The Beatles' songs were written by Lennon and McCartney, Beatle albums generally included one or two of Harrison's own songs, from With The Beatles onwards. His later compositions with The Beatles include "Here Comes the Sun", "Something" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". By the time of the band's break-up, Harrison had accumulated a backlog of material, which he then released as the triple album All Things Must Pass in 1970, from which two hit singles originated: a double A-side single, "My Sweet Lord" backed with "Isn't It a Pity", and "What Is Life". In addition to his solo work, Harrison co-wrote two hits for former Beatle Ringo Starr, as well as songs for the Traveling Wilburys—the supergroup he formed in 1988 with Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Roy Orbison.

George Toogood Smith
George Toogood Smith (1903 – 5 June 1955) was the maternal uncle, through marriage, of John Lennon. Smith operated his family's two dairy farms and a retail outlet with his brother, Frank Smith, in the village of Woolton, Liverpool. The farms had been in the Smith family for four generations, but after the start of World War II, they were taken over by the British Government for war work.
Smith started courting Mimi Stanley in the spring of 1932, but was thwarted by her indifference and her father's interference. After delivering milk to the hospital where she worked he gave her an ultimatum that she must marry him, "or nothing at all!" On 15 September 1939, she finally married him. They bought a semi-detached house called Mendips, named after the range of hills, at 251 Menlove Avenue, Liverpool.
Lennon lived with Smith and his wife for the majority of his childhood, and Smith taught the young Lennon to read, read him nursery rhymes at night, and later taught Lennon how to solve crossword puzzles. He also taught him to draw and paint and bought him his first mouth organ. Smith collapsed and died on a Sunday at his home of a liver haemorrhage, aged 52, and was buried in St Peter’s Church graveyard, Woolton.

Giles ignored the advice, first playing in the critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful band Velvet Jones, then writing jingles in college, then working in various musical capacities in the UK. In 1995, he was appointed co-music director for the television and radio music countdown show, The Great Music Experience. He worked on the Party at the Palace concert to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee, for which he also produced the subsequent album and DVD.
Martin's first notable producer role came with the high-selling UK band Kula Shaker. After that, his production and mixing credits came to include Jeff Beck, Elvis Costello, INXS, and Kate Bush. In 2004 Martin produced Hayley Westenra's multi-platinum album Pure, the UK’s fastest-selling classical album of all time.

Harry Nilsson
Harry Edward Nilsson III (June 15, 1941 – January 15, 1994) was an American singer-songwriter who achieved the peak of his commercial success in the early 1970s. On all but his earliest recordings he is credited as Nilsson. He is known for the hit singles "Everybody's Talkin'" (1969), "Without You" (1971), and "Coconut" (1972). Nilsson's career is also notable for the fact that he was one of the few major pop-rock recording artists of his era to achieve significant commercial success without ever performing major public concerts or undertaking regular tours.
He was awarded Grammys for two of his recordings; best male contemporary vocal in 1969 for "Everybody's Talkin'", the theme song to the Academy Award-winning movie Midnight Cowboy, and best male pop vocal in 1972 for "Without You."
Nilsson was born in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn, New York, in 1941.

Harry Wayne Casey
Harry Wayne "K.C." Casey (born January 31, 1951) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, and producer. He is most famous for his group, KC and the Sunshine Band, and as a producer of several hits for other artists.
Born in Opa-Locka, Florida, to an Irish-American father and an Italian-American mother, Casey became interested in music at an early age. As a teenager he played and sang with several local bands and played piano at the Pentecostal church his family attended. He also attended Hialeah High School in Hialeah, Florida, that is where Casey further developed his music talent. He studied music at Miami-Dade Community College and worked part-time in a record store. KC noticed that often customers would come in not remembering the titles of the records they wanted, and the store would lose the sale — this is the reason so many of his songs repeat their titles over and over.
While working at the record store, Casey often made deliveries to the headquarters of TK Records in Hialeah, and spent so much time visiting the studio that he was eventually hired to work in the warehouse. On August 12, 1973, Casey signed a contract with TK and formed KC and the Sunshine Junkanoo Band, using other recording artists at the studio for backgrounds and instrumentation. The Miami Junkanoo Band was a local group brought in to perform on the record. Casey played electric piano and sang lead with the group. As the second single, "Sound Your Funky Horn", was released, the group's name was finalized as KC and the Sunshine Band. Casey brought in Richard Finch's musical talents and their production team (also the only white members of the group) was initiated. In 1974, they had their first Number One hit as songwriters with George McCrae's "Rock Your Baby." Casey and Finch also wrote and produced songs for Betty Wright and Jimmy "Bo" Horne.

Henry Mancini
Enrico Nicola "Henry" Mancini (April 16, 1924 – June 14, 1994) was an American composer, conductor and arranger, best remembered for his film and television scores. He won a record number of Grammy Awards (20), plus a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award posthumously in 1995. His best-known works include the jazz-idiom theme to The Pink Panther film series ("The Pink Panther Theme"), the Peter Gunn Theme from the television series, and back-to-back Academy Awards for the songs "Moon River" from the Blake Edwards film Breakfast at Tiffany's and "Days of Wine and Roses" from Edwards' film Days of Wine and Roses. He also composed the score of famous films such as Charade, The Great Race, Wait Until Dark or Silver Streak.
Mancini was born in the Little Italy neighborhood of Cleveland, and grew up near Pittsburgh, in the steel town of West Aliquippa, Pennsylvania. His parents emigrated from the Abruzzo region of Italy. Mancini's father, Quinto, (born March 13, 1893, Scanno, Italy) was a steelworker, who made his only child begin piccolo lessons at the age of eight. When Mancini was 12 years old, he began piano lessons. Quinto and Henry played flute together in the Aliquippa Italian immigrant band, "Sons of Italy". After graduating from Aliquippa High School in 1942, Mancini attended the renowned Juilliard School of Music in New York. In 1943, after roughly one year at Juilliard, his studies were interrupted when he was drafted into the United States Army. In 1945, he participated in the liberation of a concentration camp in southern Germany.

Horst Fascher
Horst Fascher (born 5 February 1936, Hamburg) is a previous German nightclub bouncer, and a friend of The Beatles during their days playing in Hamburg, Germany.
A onetime professional boxer whose career was cut short (he had unintentionally killed a sailor in a street fight), Fascher found work in clubs along the Reeperbahn in Hamburg. When the Beatles (including original drummer Pete Best and bassist Stuart Sutcliffe) made their first trip to Germany in August 1960, Fascher befriended the young group, who played at the Indra Club and the Kaiserkeller.
As they rose through the ranks of bands playing the Reeperbahn (making five trips in all over the next two-and-a-half years), Fascher usually managed to be working at the same clubs, and for the same boss, as the Beatles. They visited him at home, and he in turn kept troublemakers away from the band. The only favour Fascher asked was to be able to sing with them occasionally onstage, which was granted; Eddie Cochran's music was a common choice.

Ivan Vaughan (18 June 1942 - 16 August 1993) was a boyhood friend of John Lennon, and later schoolmate of Paul McCartney at the Liverpool Institute, both commencing school there in Sept. 1953. He was born on the same day as Paul McCartney in Liverpool. He played bass part-time in Lennon's first band, The Quarrymen, and was responsible for introducing Lennon to Paul McCartney at a community event (the Woolton village fête) on July 6, 1957, where The Quarrymen were performing. McCartney impressed Lennon, who invited McCartney to join the band, which he did a day later. This led to the formation of Lennon and McCartney's songwriting partnership, and later of The Beatles.
Vaughan studied classics at University College, London, married in 1966 and settled down to family life with a son and daughter, and became a teacher.
Lennon and McCartney never forgot the friend who brought them together. For a time they put Vaughan on the payroll of their Apple company, in charge of a plan that never took off to set up a school with a Sixties, hippie-style education ethos. Vaughan's wife Jan, a languages teacher, was hired to sit down with Lennon and McCartney and help with the French lyrics to the 1965 song "Michelle".

Jerry Lee Lewis
Jerry Lee Lewis (born September 29, 1935) is an American rock and roll and country music singer-songwriter and pianist. He is known by the nickname "The Killer". An early pioneer of rock and roll music, Lewis had hits in the late 1950s with songs such as "Great Balls of Fire", "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On", "Breathless" and "High School Confidential". However, Lewis' rock 'n' roll career faltered in the wake of his marriage to his young cousin. He had little success in the charts following the scandal until his popularity recovered in the late 1960s after he extended his career to country and western music with songs such as "Another Place, Another Time". More country hits soon followed over the late 1960s and through the 1970s. Lewis's successes continued throughout the decade and he embraced his rock 'n' roll past with songs such as a cover of the Big Bopper's "Chantilly Lace" and "Rockin' My Life Away". In the 21st century Lewis continues to tour to audiences around the world and still releases new albums. One such new album, titled Last Man Standing, is his best selling to date at over a million copies sold worldwide.

Jimmie Nicol
James George "Jimmie"/"Jimmy" Nicol (born 3 August 1939, 93 Silverthorne Road, Battersea, London), is a British drummer, best known for temporarily replacing Ringo Starr in The Beatles for a series of concerts during the height of Beatlemania in 1964, elevating him from relative obscurity to worldwide fame and then back again in the space of a fortnight. Nicol had hoped that his association with The Beatles would greatly boost his career, but instead found that the spotlight moved away from him once Starr returned to the group. His subsequent lack of commercial success led him into bankruptcy in 1965. After then working with a number of different bands, which included a successful phase with The Spotnicks, he left the music business in 1967 to pursue a variety of entrepreneurial ventures. Later in his life he became a recluse preferring not to discuss his connection to The Beatles and refusing to seek financial gain from it. He has a son, Howard, who is a BAFTA award-winning sound engineer.

Walsh began a lifelong hobby of amateur ("ham") radio with the callsign WB6ACU while living in New York City.
In January 1968 he replaced Glen Schwartz as lead guitarist for the James Gang, an American power trio. Walsh proved to be the band's star attraction, noted for his innovative rhythm playing and creative guitar riffs. In particular he was known for hot-wiring the pickups on his electric guitars to create his trademark "attack" sound. The James Gang had several minor hits and became an early album-oriented rock staple for the next two years, including James Gang Live at Carnegie Hall. In November, 1971 Walsh left the group and formed the group Barnstorm, although their albums credited Walsh as a solo artist. Walsh and Barnstorm released their debut, the eponymous Barnstorm in 1972. The album was a critical success, but had only moderate sales. The follow-up The Smoker You Drink, the Player You Get (1973) was titled under his own name (although officially a Barnstorm album) and was Walsh's commercial breakthrough. The first single "Rocky Mountain Way" received heavy airplay and reached #23 on the US Top 40 chart. In 1974 Barnstorm disbanded and Walsh continued as a solo artist.

Born and raised in Liverpool, Lennon became involved as a teenager in the skiffle craze; his first band, The Quarrymen, evolved into The Beatles in 1960. As the group disintegrated towards the end of the decade, Lennon embarked on a solo career that produced the critically acclaimed albums John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine, and iconic songs such as "Give Peace a Chance" and "Imagine". After his marriage to Yoko Ono in 1969, he changed his name to John Ono Lennon. Lennon disengaged himself from the music business in 1975 to devote time to raising his infant son Sean, but re-emerged with Ono in 1980 with the new album Double Fantasy. He was murdered three weeks after its release.

John McVie
John Graham McVie (born 26 November 1945) is a British bass guitarist best known as a member of rock groups John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers and Fleetwood Mac. His surname, combined with that of Mick Fleetwood, was the inspiration for the band's name. He joined Fleetwood Mac shortly after its formation by guitarist Peter Green in 1967, replacing temporary bassist Bob Brunning.
In 1968 he married blues pianist and singer Christine Perfect, who became a member of Fleetwood Mac two years later. John and Christine McVie divorced, however, in 1977. Around this time the band recorded the album Rumours, a major artistic and commercial success that borrowed its title from the turmoils in McVie's and other band members' marriages and relationships. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 for his work in Fleetwood Mac.
John Graham McVie was born in Ealing, west London, to Reg and Dorothy McVie and attended Walpole Grammar School. At age 14 he began playing the guitar in local bands, covering songs by The Shadows. He soon realised that his friends were learning lead guitar so he decided to play the bass guitar instead. Initially he just removed the top two (E and B) strings from his guitar to play the bass parts until his father bought him a pink Fender bass guitar, the same as that used by McVie's major early musical influence Jet Harris, The Shadows' bass player. John was in 3J class with Roger Warwick, a baritone sax player who had studied under Don Rendell and was to emerge in the London rock-jazz scene. Their teacher, Mr Howell (a pianist), although not really appreciating this "funny" music, was intelligent and open-minded enough to give pupils space and time to use school facilities to practise and listen to the new wave.[citation needed]

John Tavener
Sir John Kenneth Tavener (born 28 January 1944) is a British composer, best known for such religious, minimal works as "The Whale", and "Funeral Ikos". He began as a prodigy; in 1968, at the age of 24, he was described by the Guardian as "the musical discovery of the year", while The Times said he was "among the very best creative talents of his generation." During his career he has become one of the best known and regarded composers of his generation. Tavener was knighted in 2000 for his services to music and has won an Ivor Novello Award.
John Kenneth Tavener was born on 28 January 1944 in Wembley, London, England, and claims to be a direct descendant of the 16th-century composer John Taverner. He was educated at Highgate School (where a fellow pupil was John Rutter) and at the Royal Academy of Music, where his tutors included Sir Lennox Berkeley. He first came to prominence in 1968 with his dramatic cantata The Whale, based on the Old Testament story of Jonah. It was premièred at the London Sinfonietta's début concert and later recorded by Apple Records. The following year he began teaching at Trinity College of Music, London. Other works released by Apple included his Celtic Requiem. In 1977, he joined the Russian Orthodox Church. Orthodox theology and Orthodox liturgical traditions became a major influence on his work. He was particularly drawn to its mysticism, studying and setting to music the writings of Church Fathers and competing a setting of the Liturgy of St John Chrysostom, the principal eucharistic liturgy of the Orthodox Church.

Johnny Gentle
Johnny Gentle is the stage name of John Askew (born 8 December 1936). He was a British pop singer who is now best remembered for having briefly toured Scotland with the Silver Beetles - later known simply as The Beatles - as his backing group in 1960.
John Askew was born and grew up in Liverpool. After leaving school he was apprenticed as a carpenter, and, using a borrowed book for instructions, made his own guitar. He teamed up with Bobby Crawford and the pair began performing at local clubs, singing Everly Brothers songs, before Askew took a job working on a luxury ocean liner. On his return, he entered talent competitions as a solo singer, and changed his stage name, first to George Baker and then to Ricky Damone. He moved to London and worked on a building site, before winning a talent competition at the Locarno Ballroom in Streatham. He was auditioned by manager Larry Parnes, who won him a recording contract with Philips Records in 1959, and gave him the stage name Johnny Gentle.
Gentle released two singles on Philips in 1959 - the self-penned "Wendy", followed by "Milk From The Coconut" - but they did not make the charts, and nor did an EP, The Gentle Touch, combining the two singles. In early May 1960, Parnes co-promoted, with Allan Williams, a show at Liverpool Stadium starring Gene Vincent supported by local groups Cass & The Cassanovas, Rory Storm and the Hurricanes and Gerry & the Pacemakers. Parnes thought it would be a good idea to use Liverpool groups as backing bands for his artists, who included Billy Fury, and held auditions on 10 May 1960. This resulted in the Silver Beetles being selected to back Gentle on a short Scottish tour.

Johnny Hutchinson
Johnny 'Hutch' Hutchinson (born 18 July 1940 in Malta), also known as Johnny Hutch, was a Liverpudlian rock and roll drummer of the late 1950s and early 1960s, during the same time that The Beatles rose through the ranks of British rock bands. Hutch's group, The Big Three, were rivals of the Beatles, and his opinions of them were not the highest; one early remark he made was that the Beatles "weren't worth a carrot."
Feelings aside, Hutch sat in with them during a 1960 audition, keeping a beat until their then-drummer Tommy Moore could arrive. Mersey Beat magazine editor, Bill Harry, claimed that the vacant drummer position in The Beatles when Pete Best was dismissed was initially offered by Epstein to Johnny, who Epstein later managed. Knowing The Beatles had secured a record contract, Hutchinson turned down the job, saying, "Brian asked me to join the Beatles and I said, I wouldn’t join the Beatles for a gold clock. There’s only one group as far as I’m concerned and that’s the Big Three. The Beatles can’t make a better sound than that, and Pete Best is a very good friend of mine. I couldn’t do the dirty on him". Johnnny did play for The Beatles when Pete Best naturally never turned up on the evening of his dismissal, and two subsequent bookings, until second choice Ringo Starr could join The Beatles from Rory Storm and the Hurricanes.

Johnny Warman
Johnny Warman (born John Robert Waughman 1951 in Bethnal Green, London) is an English singer-songwriter best known for his 1981 album Walking Into Mirrors and the hit single "Screaming Jets".
Warman was born in Bethnal Green, east London. He then moved to Hackney at the age of seven where he enjoyed a normal idyllic childhood, frequently climbing trees and scrumping over Victoria Park. Within Warman's home there was always music in some shape or form although nobody played an instrument, his mother sang and his father was a terrible singer no matter how much he tried. Warman enjoyed his school years very much and when he first heard The Beatles at the age of 11, he was transfixed by the sound so much so that he joined the school choir. He was picked to sing at the Royal Opera House in 1964, where he sang alongside Maria Callas and Tito Gobbi. This event was pivotal in Warman's life, as whilst he was standing on the stage taking in all the sights, sounds and applause, he thought to himself, "This is what I want to do".

João Gilberto
João Gilberto Prado Pereira de Oliveira, known as João Gilberto (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈʒwɐ̃w ʒiwˈbɛʁtu]; June 10, 1931), is a Brazilian singer and guitarist. His seminal recordings, including many songs by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes, established the new musical genre of Bossa nova in the late 1950s.
João Gilberto was born in Juazeiro, Bahia. From an early age, music was a part of Gilberto's life. His grandfather bought him his first guitar at the age of 14. During high school, Gilberto teamed up with some of his classmates to form a small band. Gilberto, who led the band, was influenced by Brazilian popular songs, American jazz, and even some opera, among other genres. After trying his luck as a radio singer in Salvador, Bahia, the young Gilberto was recruited in 1950 as lead singer of the vocal quintet Garotos da Lua (Moon Boys) and moved to Rio de Janeiro. A year and a half later, he was dismissed from the group for his lack of discipline (he would often show up late to rehearsals or not at all).

Judy Garland
Judy Garland (June 10, 1922 – June 22, 1969) was an American actress, singer and vaudevillian. Renowned for her contralto voice, she attained international stardom through a career that spanned 45 of her 47 years as an actress in musical and dramatic roles, as a recording artist and on the concert stage. Respected for her versatility, she received a Juvenile Academy Award and won a Golden Globe Award, as well as Grammy Awards and a Special Tony Award.

At 39 years of age, she remains the youngest recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement in the motion picture industry.
After appearing in vaudeville with her two older sisters, Garland was signed to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as a teenager. There she made more than two dozen films, including nine with Mickey Rooney and the 1939 film with which she would be most identified, The Wizard of Oz. After 15 years, she was released from the studio but gained renewed success through record-breaking concert appearances, including a return to acting beginning with critically acclaimed performances.

Julia Lennon
Julia Lennon (née Stanley; 12 March 1914 – 15 July 1958) was the mother of English musician John Lennon, who was born during her marriage to Alfred Lennon. After complaints to Liverpool's Social Services by her eldest sister, Mimi Smith (née Stanley), she handed over the care of her son to her sister. She later had one daughter after an affair with a Welsh soldier, but the baby was given up for adoption after pressure from her family. She then had two daughters, Julia and Jackie, with John 'Bobby' Dykins. She never divorced her husband, preferring to live as the common-law wife of Dykins for the rest of her life.
She was known as being high-spirited and impulsive, musical, and having a strong sense of humour. She taught her son how to play the banjo and ukulele, and bought his first acoustic guitar, even though her eldest sister strongly disapproved. She kept in almost daily contact with Lennon, and when he was in his teens he often stayed overnight at her and Dykins' house. On 15 July 1958, she was struck down and killed by a car driven by an off-duty policeman, close to her sister's house at 251 Menlove Avenue. Lennon was traumatised by her death and wrote several songs about her, including "Julia" and "Mother." Biographer Ian MacDonald wrote that she was, "to a great extent... her son's muse."

Jürgen Vollmer
Jürgen Vollmer, with Astrid Kirchherr and Klaus Voorman (the "Exis"), befriended The Beatles during the band's time in Hamburg in the early 1960s. Vollmer was the son of a professional army officer who died during World War II. Young Vollmer was attending Hamburg's Institute of Fashion at the time he met The Beatles, who at the time included drummer Pete Best and bassist Stu Sutcliffe. Vollmer quickly became one of the group's photographers, and was responsible for the "Beatles haircut" and some of their most iconic images in their leather-clad days prior to Brian Epstein. John Lennon was particularly impressed with Vollmer's photos, and used one of his favourites on the cover of his 1975 album Rock 'n' Roll. During the time Vollmer lived in the USA, he worked as a set photographer in several Hollywood film productions.

Kaiserkeller
Kaiserkeller is a night club in the St. Pauli quarter of Hamburg, Germany, near the Reeperbahn. It was opened by Bruno Koschmider on October 14, 1959. The Beatles had a contract with Kaiserkeller to play there in 1960.
A Caribbean steel band that had played at Allan Williams Jacaranda club in Liverpool took an offer to play in Hamburg. After receiving letters enthusing about Hamburg's club scene, Williams made contact with Koschmider, offering to act as a booking agent, to which Koschmider agreed. Koschmider had previously booked Derry and the Seniors after seeing them perform in London, and as they were successful in Hamburg, he asked Williams to look for additional groups.Rory Storm and The Hurricanes were Williams' first choice, but as they were committed to a season at Butlins holiday camp, they turned his offer down (as did Gerry & The Pacemakers) so Williams sent The Beatles to Hamburg instead. They were required to play six or seven hours a night, seven nights a week. The Beatles first played at Koschmider's Indra club, sleeping in small, "dirty" rooms in the Bambi Kino, and then moved (after the closure of the Indra) to the larger Kaiserkeller.

Keith Moon
Keith John Moon (23 August 1946 – 7 September 1978) was an English musician, best known for being the drummer of the English rock group The Who. He gained acclaim for his exuberant and innovative drumming style, and notoriety for his eccentric and often self-destructive behaviour, earning him the nickname "Moon the Loon". Moon joined The Who in 1964. He played on all albums and singles from their debut, 1964's "Zoot Suit", to 1978's Who Are You, which was released three weeks before his death.
Moon was known for dramatic, suspenseful drumming—often eschewing basic back beats for a fluid, busy technique focused on fast, cascading rolls across the toms, ambidextrous double bass drum work and wild cymbal crashes and washes. He is mentioned in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as one of the greatest of all rock and roll drummers, and was posthumously inducted into the Rock Hall as a member of The Who in 1990.
Moon's legacy, as a member of The Who, as a solo artist, and as an eccentric personality, continues to garner awards and praise, including a Rolling Stone readers' pick placing him in second place of the magazine's "best drummers of all time" in 2011, nearly 35 years after his death.

Ken Russell
Henry Kenneth Alfred "Ken" Russell (3 July 1927 – 27 November 2011) was an English film director, known for his pioneering work in television and film and for his flamboyant and controversial style. He attracted criticism as being obsessed with sexuality and the church. His films often dealt with the lives of famous composers or were based on other works of art which he adapted loosely. Russell began directing for the BBC, where he made creative adaptations of composers' lives which were unusual for the time. He also directed many feature films independently and for studios.
He is best known for his Oscar-winning film Women in Love (1969), The Devils (1971), The Who's Tommy (1975), and the science fiction film Altered States (1980). Classical musicians and conductors held him in high regard for his story-driven biopics of various composers, most famously Elgar, Delius, Liszt, Mahler and Tchaikovsky.
British film critic Mark Kermode speaking in 2006, and attempting to sum up the director's achievement, called Russell, "somebody who proved that British cinema didn't have to be about kitchen-sink realism—it could be every bit as flamboyant as Fellini. Later in his life he turned to making experimental films such as Lion's Mouth and Revenge of the Elephant Man, and they are as edgy and 'out there' as ever".

Ken Townsend
Ken Townsend MBE is a renowned English sound engineer who played an important role at Abbey Road Studios. He worked on several Beatles albums, such as Rubber Soul, Revolver and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. In 1966 he invented automatic double tracking (ADT). He spent his whole working career at Abbey Road, and retired as the Chairman of the Studio Group after 42 years of service.
During the recording of Tomorrow Never Knows, Lennon complained that he had always hated doing a second take to double the sound of his vocals, so Townsend, the studio technical manager, created the world's first ADT system by taking the signal from the playback and recording heads and delaying them slightly, thereby creating two sound images and not just one. By altering the speed and frequencies he could also create other different types of effects, which The Beatles used throughout the recording of Revolver.

Klaus Voormann
Klaus Voormann (born 29 April 1938) is a German Grammy Award-winning artist, noted musician, and record producer. He designed artwork for many bands including The Beatles, The Bee Gees, Wet Wet Wet and Turbonegro. His most notable work as a producer was his work with the band Trio, including their worldwide hit "Da Da Da". As a musician, Voormann is best known for being the bassist for Manfred Mann from 1966 to 1969, and for performing as a session musician on a host of recordings, including many by former members of The Beatles.
His association with The Beatles dated back to their time in Hamburg in the early 1960s. He lived in the band's London flat with George Harrison and Ringo Starr after John Lennon and Paul McCartney moved out to live with their respective partners, and designed the cover of their album Revolver, for which he won a Grammy. Following the band's split, rumours circulated of the formation of a group named The Ladders, consisting of Lennon, Harrison, Starr and Voormann. This failed to materialise, outside of all four Ladders (plus Billy Preston) performing on the Ringo Starr track "I'm the Greatest", although Voormann did play on albums by Lennon, Harrison and Starr, and was for a time a member of the Plastic Ono Band. In the 1990s, he designed the artwork for the Beatles Anthology albums.

Larry Parnes
Laurence Maurice "Larry" Parnes (1930 - 4 August 1989) was an English pop manager and impresario. He has been described as "the first major British rock manager... Parnes' stable encompassed most of the most successful pre-Beatles British rock singers."
Parnes was born in Willesden, London. After leaving school he began work in a clothing store, and by the age of 18 ran a women's clothing shop in Romford, Essex. He then bought a share in a bar in Romilly Street, Soho. He agreed to invest in a touring play, The House of Shame, which became both successful and notorious in 1954 after its publicist, John Kennedy, persuaded two actresses to stand outside the theatre dressed as prostitutes. In 1956, with Kennedy, he started to manage young rock and roll singer Tommy Hicks, who anglicised the name of his Swedish grandfather to become known as Tommy Steele. Steele achieved popular success, some of his songs being co-written by Parnes' friend Lionel Bart, and Parnes succeeded in presenting Steele as an "all-round entertainer".

Lee Eastman
Lee Eastman, born Leopold Vail Epstein, (12 January 1910 - 30 July 1991) was a New York show business attorney, and art collector the son of Louis (b. Russia ~1887, imm. 1906) and Stella (Freyer) Epstein. His sisters were Emmaline and Rose. He married Louise Lindner, heiress to the Lindner Department Store fortune; they had four children, including John Eastman and Linda McCartney, the late wife of former Beatle Paul McCartney. Eastman became McCartney's business manager shortly before the breakup of The Beatles while his son John represented McCartney during his 1970 lawsuit to legally dissolve the Beatles. He is the maternal grandfather of potter Heather McCartney, photographer Mary McCartney, fashion designer Stella McCartney, and musician/sculptor James Louis McCartney. Eastman was also the friend and longtime lawyer for and collector of the works of the Abstract expressionist painter Willem de Kooning.
When the Beatles' company Apple Corps was in business trouble early in 1969, Eastman and Allen Klein were both considered to take the reins of the company, and of the band's careers. John Lennon favoured Klein. Lennon said he was impressed that Klein knew Lennon's lyrics, and understood them, and that Klein was very intelligent.George Harrison and Ringo Starr chose Klein, though Lennon said in 1970 that he maneuvered Klein into Apple. McCartney wanted Eastman, but was out-voted 3-1. For a short period, Klein managed Apple and the personal careers of Lennon, Harrison, and Starr while Eastman was the corporate counsel and managed McCartney. The Klein/Eastman combination did not work, and after a contentious meeting, Eastman was out. Subsequent disagreements over decisions made by Klein and the other Beatles prompted McCartney—represented by Eastman—to sue them to dissolve the partnership, and he eventually succeeded.

Liberty DeVitto
Liberty DeVitto (born August 8, 1950) is an American rock drummer. He is best known as the drummer for Billy Joel, but has also played with the NYC Hit Squad and has been a session drummer on recordings of other artists.
DeVitto was born in New York City of Italian ancestry where his father was a police officer at the New York Police Department. He taught himself to play the drums after seeing The Beatles on their appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in February 1964.
DeVitto got his big break in the music business when he was hired to play drums for Billy Joel in the late 1970's. In an online interview, DeVitto describes how Joel's classic late '70's-early 80's band first came together:
Billy and I used to play the same club in Plainview, Long Island, called “My House.” He was 17 and in a band called The Hassles and I was 16 and in a band called The New Rock Workshop. We would watch each other play and acknowledge each other in passing. In 1974, he was living in Los Angeles and had already released Piano Man and Streetlife Serenade. He used studio musicians for the recording and different guys out on the road. I was playing in a band called Topper with Doug Stegmeyer and he got the gig to play bass with Billy on the “Streetlife” tour. He told Doug that he wanted to move back to New York and find a permanent band he could record and tour with on a regular basis. Doug recommended me because Billy was looking for a New York-type drummer, aggressive and hard hitting, and the rest is history. The three of us recorded the basic tracks for Turnstiles and we both recommended Russell Javors and Howie Emerson, who played guitars in Topper and with the addition of Richie Cannata on saxophone, the “Billy Joel Band” was born.

Lynsey de Paul
Lynsey de Paul (born 11 June 1950) is an English singer-songwriter. Allmusic journalist Craig Harris stated that "one of the first successful female singer-songwriters in England, de Paul has had an illustrious career".
Born Lynsey Monckton Rubin in Cricklewood, London to Meta and Herbert Rubin, a property developer. She grew up in a Jewish family in Cricklewood, North London, and attended South Hampstead High School followed by Hornsey College of Art, now part of Middlesex University.
de Paul took an unusual route to becoming the UK's first commercially successful female singer-songwriter. While attending Hornsey College of Art, and wanting to leave home, she started to design album sleeves for artists which required her to listen to the tracks. From income earned from album sleeve design, she got her first flat, where she turned to songwriting. Three of her earliest songs were co-written with Ed Adamberry and recorded by Jack Wild: "E.O.I.O." from the album A Beautiful World (and also released as a single by The Beads) plus "Takin' It Easy" and "Bring It on Back to Me" from the album Everything's Coming Up Roses.

Magic Alex
Yanni (later John) Alexis Mardas (Greek: Αλέξης Μάρδας; born May 5, 1942, Athens, Greece), better known as Magic Alex, the name given him by The Beatles when he knew the group between 1965 and 1969, is a self-styled electronics wizard and one-time head of The Beatles' Apple Electronics.
Mardas arrived in England in 1965, exhibiting his Kinetic Light Sculptures at the Indica Gallery. Mardas impressed John Lennon with the Nothing Box; a small plastic box with randomly blinking lights, and said that he could build a 72-track tape machine, so was given the job of designing the new Apple Studio in Savile Row. He was involved in the hasty departure of Lennon and George Harrison from the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram in India, and Lennon's divorce of his first wife, Cynthia Lennon.
In the 1970s, the anti-terrorism industry offered bullet-proof vehicles, bugging devices and security hardware, and Mardas set up various companies offering these products to royalty and VIPs. King Hussein of Jordan bought a fleet of cars that Mardas had customised, but the cars proved to be more life-threatening than ordinary cars, as bullets easily pierced the supposed armour-plating, and the glass splintered. In 1987, Mardas was a managing director of Alcom Ltd, which specialised in electronic communications and security. He now lives in Greece.

Evans contributed to many Beatle recordings, and appeared in some of the films they made. Although The Beatles stopped touring in 1966, Evans carried on assisting the band until their 1970 break-up. From 1969 forward, Evans had also found work as a record producer (most notably with Badfinger's top 10 hit "No Matter What"), and as an occasional songwriter.
Evans was killed by police on 5 January 1976 at his home in Los Angeles. Officers were called when his girlfriend phoned the police and told them that Evans was confused and had a gun. The police believed that the air rifle Evans was holding was a rifle and shot him dead.

Max Weinberg
Max Weinberg (born April 13, 1951) is an American drummer and television personality, most widely known as the longtime drummer for Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band and as the bandleader for Conan O'Brien on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien.
Weinberg grew up in suburban New Jersey and began drumming at an early age. He attended college planning to be a lawyer but got his big break in music in 1974 when he won an audition to become the drummer for Springsteen. His powerful but controlled playing on albums such as Born to Run and Born in the U.S.A. stabilized the E Street Band sound and Weinberg became a mainstay of Springsteen's long concert performances. Springsteen dissolved the band in 1989 and Weinberg spent several years considering a law career and trying the business end of the music industry before deciding he wanted to continue with drumming.
In 1993, Weinberg got the role as bandleader of The Max Weinberg 7 for Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Weinberg's drums-driven jump blues sound and his role as a comic foil prospered along with the show, giving him a second career. In 1999, Springsteen reformed the E Street Band for a series of tours and albums; Weinberg worked out an arrangement that allowed him to play with both O'Brien and Springsteen. In 2009, Weinberg moved to the short-lived Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien as leader of Max Weinberg and The Tonight Show Band. After that ended, he formed and toured with a new ensemble, the Max Weinberg Big Band, and in 2010 chose not to follow O'Brien to the new Conan show.

Angelis was originally intended to provide some of the voices in the film adaptation of the series, Thomas & the Magic Railroad, but he was dropped from the project when U.S. test audiences thought he made the characters he originally voiced, James Percy and Gordon sound too old. In 2007, he was reported to have stepped down from his role, with Pierce Brosnan taking over the role. However, Brosnan's narration was heard only in one feature special The Great Discovery, and Angelis has continued to provide the narration ever since.

In early childhood he and his family followed his father, a Royal Air Force fighter pilot, to Egypt. After about six years they moved to Norway where his father was posted. He attended school there and acquired fluency in the Norwegian language. According to his autobiography, Fleetwood had an extremely difficult and trying time academically at the English boarding schools he attended, including the Kings School, Sherbone Park, Glos. He performed poorly on exams which he attributes to his persistent inability to commit facts to memory. He dropped out of school aged 15, and, in 1963, moved to London to pursue a career as a drummer.

Mimi Smith
Mary Elizabeth "Mimi" Smith (née Stanley) (24 April 1903 – 6 December 1991) was the maternal aunt and parental guardian of the English musician John Lennon. Mimi was born in Liverpool, England and was the oldest of five daughters. She became a resident trainee nurse at the Woolton Convalescent Hospital, and later worked as a private secretary. On 15 September 1939, she married George Smith, who ran his family's dairy farm and a shop in Woolton; a suburb of Liverpool.
After Mimi's younger sister, Julia Lennon, separated from her husband, she and her son (Lennon) moved in with a new partner, but Mimi contacted Liverpool's Social Services and complained about little John sleeping in the same bed as the two adults. Julia was eventually persuaded to hand the care of Lennon over to the Smiths. Lennon lived with them for most of his childhood, and remained close to her, even though she was highly dismissive of his musical ambitions, his girlfriends, and wives.
She often told the teenage Lennon that "The guitar's all right John, but you'll never make a living out of it". Despite later losing touch with other family members, Lennon kept in close contact and telephoned Mimi every week until his death in 1980. Lennon bought her a bungalow in Poole, Dorset, where she lived until her death in 1991. The Smiths' house in Liverpool was later donated to the The National Trust.

Mona Best
Mona "Mo" Best (3 January 1924 – 9 September 1988) was born in India and is best known as the mother of Pete Best (b. 24 November 1941), who was an early member of The Beatles. Mona also had two other sons, Rory (born 1945) and Vincent "Roag" Best (born 1962). It was later confirmed that Roag's father was The Beatles' associate Neil Aspinall, although he was not registered as the father on Roag's birth certificate.
After moving to Liverpool from India, the Best family claim that Mona pawned all of her jewellery in 1954, and used the money to place a 33–1 bet on a horse named "Never Say Die", and used her winnings to buy a house in 1957. Mona later opened The Casbah Coffee Club in the cellar of the house as a venue for Rock 'n' Roll music. It was planned as a members-only club for her sons and their friends. The club was often referred to as The Casbah Club, or The Casbah.
The Quarrymen—John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ken Brown—frequently played at The Casbah instead of the The Cavern Club, which had a jazz-only policy at that time. The Casbah Club cellar—with its original decoration—still exists. In 2006, the property was accorded a Grade II Heritage listing. Mona died in 1988, after a heart attack following a long illness.

Murray the K
Murray Kaufman (February 14, 1922 – February 21, 1982), professionally known as Murray the K, was an influential rock and roll impresario and disc jockey of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. During the early days of Beatlemania, he frequently referred to himself as the fifth Beatle.
Murray Kaufman came from a show business family: his mother, Jean, played piano in vaudeville and wrote music and his aunt was a character actress on the stage and in film. He was a child actor - an extra - in several 1930s Hollywood films. He attended a military boarding school, and later was inducted into the United States Army where he arranged entertainment for the troops. Following the war, he put together shows in the Catskills' "Borscht Belt", also doing warm-ups for the headline performers.
In the late 1940s and early 1950s, he worked in public relations and as a song plugger, helping to promote tunes like Bob Merrill's "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window." From there, he worked as a radio producer and co-host at WMCA (and briefly thereafter at WMGM), working with personalities such as Laraine Day on the late night interview program "Day At Night" and with Eva Gabor. At the same time, he was doing promotion for several baseball players, including Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays, and his radio beginnings may be attributable to his connection with the New York Giants, whose manager, Leo Durocher, was the husband of Laraine Day. His work on those shows earned him his own late-night show that often featured his wife as co-host, as was popular at the time. For a while in the 1950s he was president of the National Conference of Disk Jockeys.

Aspinall and his mother returned to Liverpool later in 1942 after the bombing had subsided. Aspinall later attended West Derby School, where he passed his 11-plus exams. When he was twelve years old, Aspinall gained a place at the Liverpool Institute in Mount Street, and was in the same class as Paul McCartney for English and Art lessons.

Pete Best
Pete Best (born 24 November 1941) is a British musician, principally known as the original drummer in The Beatles. He was born in the city of Madras, which was then part of British India. After his mother moved to Liverpool in 1945, Best's mother, Mona Best (1924–1988), opened The Casbah Coffee Club, in the cellar of the Bests' large house in Liverpool, which became very popular, having a membership of over 1,000. The Beatles (at the time known as The Quarrymen) played some of their earliest concerts at the club. Best played there with his first band, The Black Jacks, and later with The Beatles.
Best was invited to join The Beatles on 12 August 1960, on the eve of the group's first Hamburg season of club dates. He was eventually replaced by Ringo Starr on 16 August 1962, when The Beatles manager, Brian Epstein, dismissed Best under the direction of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison, following The Beatles' first recording session at Abbey Road Studios. After working in a number of commercially unsuccessful groups he gave up the music industry to work as a civil servant for twenty years, before starting The Pete Best Band. He has been married for over 45 years to Kathy Best; they have two daughters and four grandchildren. Best is sometimes referred to as the "Fifth Beatle".

Pete Drake
Pete Drake (8 October 1932 – 29 July 1988), born Roddis Franklin Drake, was a major Nashville, Tennessee-based record producer and pedal steel guitar player.
One of the most sought-after backup musicians of the 1960s, Drake played on such hits as Lynn Anderson's "Rose Garden", Charlie Rich's "Behind Closed Doors"' Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay"' and Tammy Wynette's "Stand by Your Man". (Drake's work on this last tune is debatable, in that some sources[which?] claim Sonny Curtis to be the steel guitar player on that record. However, most of the evidence[which?] points to Drake being the steel player on Wynette's huge hit.)
Drake was born in Augusta, Georgia, the son of a Pentecostal preacher, in 1932. In 1950, he drove to Nashville, heard Jerry Byrd on the Grand Ole Opry, and was inspired to buy a steel guitar. He organized a band, Sons of the South, in Atlanta in the 1950s, which included future country stars like Jerry Reed, Doug Kershaw, Roger Miller, Jack Greene, and Joe South.
In 1959 he moved to Nashville and went on the road as a backup musician for Don Gibson, Marty Robbins and others. In 1964 he had an international hit on Smash Records with his "talking steel guitar" playing on the album Forever. The resultant single, "Forever," reached #22 in the Billboard Hot 100, eventually sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. His innovative use of what would be called the talk box, later used by Peter Frampton, Joe Walsh and Jeff Beck, added novel effects to the pedal steel guitar. The album Pete Drake and His Talking Steel Guitar, harkened back to the sounds of Alvino Rey and his wife Luise King, who first modulated a guitar tone with the signal from a throat microphone in 1939. The unique sound of the talk box with a steel guitar was new in the 1960s, and it made the sounds of vocalizing along with the strings of the steel guitar. According to an interview of Drake:

Peter Shotton
Peter Shotton (born 4 August 1941), commonly referred to as Pete Shotton, is an English businessman and former musician, best known for his long friendship with John Lennon of The Beatles. He was a close childhood friend of Lennon's, and attended Dovedale Infants School and Quarry Bank Grammar School at the same time as the future Beatle. The two boys were frequently in trouble with their teachers and with their headmaster, and they came to be known at Quarry Bank as "Shennon and Lotton" or "Lotton and Shennon."
In 1957, Shotton was Lennon's bandmate in The Quarrymen, playing percussion (specifically, a washboard), until Paul McCartney joined. He was "fired" from the band when, after confiding that he really did not enjoy playing, Lennon smashed the washboard over his head at a party. However, he remained a friend and confidant – as he became friends with all of the Beatles as the group formed.
After the Beatles became famous, Lennon and George Harrison bought a supermarket on Hayling Island, and gave it to Shotton to run. Later, he served as manager of the Apple Boutique, then as the first managing director of Apple Corps.

Ray Cooper
Ray Cooper (born 19 September 1942) is an English musician. He is a session and road-tour percussionist, and occasional actor, who has worked with several musically diverse bands and artists including George Harrison, Billy Joel, Eric Clapton, and Elton John. Cooper is commonly regarded by music fans, critics and fellow musicians as one of the greatest rock percussionists of all time.[citation needed] He is also regarded as one of the finest practitioners of the in-concert percussion and drum solo.[citation needed] Cooper absorbed the influence of rock drummers from the 1960s and 1970s such as Ginger Baker, Carmine Appice, and John Bonham. Incorporation of unusual instruments (for rock drummers of the time) such as cowbells, glockenspiel, and tubular bells, along with several standard kit elements, helped create a highly varied setup. Continually modified to this day, Cooper's percussion set offers an enormous array of percussion instruments for sonic diversity such as the crash cymbals, tambourine, congas, bongos, cowbells, tubular bells, toms, the gong, and tambourine. For two decades Cooper honed his technique; In the 1990s, he reinvented his style. He is known for the 7 minute percussion and drum solos he performed during the years 1990-1991 for Eric Clapton and for the 7 minute percussion and drum solos during the year 1994 during all the Face to Face Tours with Billy Joel, and Elton John, and the tours with the Elton John band during the years of 1994-1995.

He is credited as a co-writer of the songs "What Goes On" and "Flying", and as the writer of "Don't Pass Me By" and "Octopus's Garden".
As drummer for the Beatles, Starr was musically creative, and his contribution to the band's music has received high praise from notable drummers in more recent times. Starr described himself as "your basic offbeat drummer with funny fills". Drummer Steve Smith said that Starr's popularity "brought forth a new paradigm" where "we started to see the drummer as an equal participant in the compositional aspect" and that Starr "composed unique, stylistic drum parts for The Beatles songs". In 2011, Starr was picked as the fifth-best drummer of all-time by Rolling Stone readers.

Stan Getz
Stanley Getz (February 2, 1927 – June 6, 1991) was an American jazz saxophone player.

Coming to prominence in the late 1940s with Woody Herman's big band, Getz is described by critic Scott Yanow as "one of the all-time great tenor saxophonists". Getz went on to perform in bebop, cool jazz and third stream, but is perhaps best known for popularizing bossa nova, as in the worldwide hit single "The Girl from Ipanema" (1964).
Getz was born on February 2, 1927, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His parents were Ukrainian Jews who emigrated from the Kiev area in 1903. The family later moved to New York City for better employment opportunities. Getz worked hard in school, receiving straight As, and finished sixth grade close to the top of his class.

Tom Petty was born and raised in Gainesville, Florida, and attended Gainesville High School. His interest in rock and roll music began at age 10 when he met Elvis Presley. In the summer of 1961, his uncle was working on the set of Presley's film Follow That Dream in nearby Ocala, Florida and invited Petty to come down and watch the shoot. He instantly became an Elvis Presley fan and soon traded his Wham-O slingshot for a box of Elvis 45s.

Tommy Quickly
Tommy Quickly (born Thomas Quigley, 7 July 1943, Liverpool, Lancashire, England) was a Liverpool rock and roll singer in the early 1960s. He was a later signing of artist manager Brian Epstein, whose biggest act was The Beatles.
Spotted as the vocalist with local group the Challengers, Epstein liked Quigley but not the band, suggesting first a name change (to "Tommy Quickly and the Stops"), then pairing him instead with The Remo Four. The next change was in song selection; whilst Quickly's voice was best suited to rhythm and blues, Epstein steered him toward pop songs, starting with his first single, "Tip of My Tongue", written by the Beatles songwriters John Lennon and Paul McCartney. He then made the usual round of appearances on-stage and in public, and was promoted by Epstein as part of his NEMS Enterprises artist stable.
"Tip of My Tongue" was a flop, as were his next four singles. His fifth single, "Wild Side of Life", charted in the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart, spending eight weeks in the chart. Described as young, naive and impulsive, and seemingly overwhelmed with matters since parting with the Challengers, Quickly was ill-prepared for the spotlight.[citation needed] When follow-up hits did not materialise, and with manager Epstein unable to push him further, Quickly retired from the music industry in 1965. İn 1966 he spent tıme in Walton Hospital, Liverpool suffering from a breakdown.

Tony Barrow
Tony Barrow (born in Crosby, Merseyside, England, 1936) is an English press officer who worked with The Beatles between 1962 and 1968. He coined the phrase "The Fab Four", first using it in an early press release.
While in the late 1950s when teenagers John Lennon and Paul McCartney were putting together their earliest group in one part of the city, Tony Barrow was presenting jazz bands and skiffle/folk groups at local dance halls and clubs across town in the north Merseyside suburb of Crosby. Educated locally at Merchant Taylors School he then studied languages at Durham University. In 1954, when he was still a 17-year-old sixth form schoolboy, he landed his first regular freelance writing job as pop/rock record reviewer for the Liverpool Echo, the largest-selling provincial evening newspaper in the UK.
At the beginning of the 1960s, while The Beatles paid their dues in the Hamburg clubs, Barrow moved from Crosby to London to work for the Decca Record Company where he wrote the liner notes that appeared on the back of LP album covers. From his new London base he continued to contribute his weekly record column to the Liverpool Echo and when Liverpool record retailer Brian Epstein signed The Beatles to a management deal at the end of 1961 he contacted Barrow for professional advice. This led to an informal arrangement whereby Barrow became The Beatles' part-time press/publicity consultant which involved promoting the launch of the new EMI band from behind a desk at rival London record company Decca. His earliest task for Epstein was to co-ordinate a media publicity campaign to surround the release of the group's first UK single, "Love Me Do", on EMI's Parlophone label in October 1962. He was paid a one-off freelance fee of around 50 US dollars to compile The Beatles' initial press kit.

Tony Sheridan
Tony Sheridan (born Anthony Esmond Sheridan McGinnity on 21 May 1940 in Norwich, Norfolk), is an English rock and roll singer-songwriter and guitarist. He is best known as an early collaborator of The Beatles, (though the record was labelled as being with "The Beat Brothers"), one of two non-Beatles (the other being Billy Preston) to receive label performance credit on a record with the group, and the only non-Beatle to appear as lead singer on a Beatles recording which charted as a single.
In his early life, Sheridan was influenced by his parents' interest in classical music, and by age seven, he had learned to play the violin. He eventually came to play guitar, and in 1956, formed his first band. He showed enough talent that he soon found himself playing in London's "Two I's" club for some six months straight, but at the same time he also found himself reduced to sleeping in doorways. In 1958, at 18, he began appearing on the BBC's Oh Boy, playing electric guitar on such early Rock classics as "Blue Suede Shoes", "Glad All Over", "Mighty Mighty Man" and "Oh Boy!". Sheridan was soon viewed as a very promising guitarist and as such was employed backing a number of singers, reportedly including Gene Vincent and Conway Twitty while they were in England. Early in 1960, Sheridan performed in a package tour of the United Kingdom which also included Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran. On April 17, Vincent and Cochran rebuffed his request to ride along with them to the next venue, but he thereby escaped the road accident which would leave Cochran dead and Vincent badly injured. He also played guitar for Cherry Wainer on her recording of "Happy Organ".

Vaughn Meader
Abbott Vaughn Meader (March 20, 1936 – October 29, 2004) was an American comedian and impersonator whose fame after the release of the The First Family album spoofing President John F. Kennedy was equalled only by his obscurity after Kennedy's assassination in 1963.
Meader was born in Waterville, Maine during one of the worst floods ever to hit New England (he often said he was born on "the night the West Bridge washed out"). He was the only child of Charles Vaughn Meader, a millworker, and Mary Ellen Abbott. After his father broke his neck and drowned in a diving accident when Meader was only eighteen months old, his mother moved to Boston to work as a cocktail waitress, leaving Meader behind with relatives. A sometimes unruly and troubled child, Meader was sent to live with his mother in Boston at the age of five but she had become alcohol dependent and placed him in a children's home. After shuttling among several schools in Massachusetts and Maine, Meader eventually graduated from Brookline High School in 1953. He enlisted in the United States Army, and while stationed in Mannheim, West Germany, as a laboratory technician formed a country music band (the Rhine Rangers) with fellow soldiers, later adding impressions of popular singers to his repertoire. Meader married the German-born Vera Heller in 1955.

The rest of the family followed soon after and Yoko met her father when she was two. Her younger brother Keisuke was born in December 1936. In 1937, her father was transferred back to Japan and Ono was enrolled at Tokyo's Gakushuin (also known as the Peers School), one of the most exclusive schools in Japan.

Yvonne Elliman
Yvonne Marianne Elliman (born December 29, 1951) is an American singer who performed for four years in the first cast of Jesus Christ Superstar. She scored a number of hits in the 1970s and achieved a #1 hit with "If I Can't Have You." After a long hiatus in the 80s and 90s, during which time she dedicated herself to her family, she made a comeback album as a singer-songwriter in 2004.
Elliman's father was of Irish descent, and her mother shared Japanese and Chinese ancestries. She was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, and graduated from President Theodore Roosevelt High School in 1970. Her father taught her how to play the piano. She played in the high-school band, and after graduation she moved to London.
Elliman's singing career began in 1969 in London where she performed as a singer at various bars and clubs. At the time she did not like what she was singing and was singing for the money. She was doing drugs and liked the music of the Jefferson Airplane. An unknown, she was discovered by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber, who asked her to sing Mary Magdalene's part in Jesus Christ Superstar, and later invited her to join the traveling cast, which she did for four years. This performance led to a 1974 Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for the film version of "Jesus Christ Superstar". She had her first hit single in 1971 with the ballad "I Don't Know How to Love Him", from Jesus Christ Superstar. The song was her first entry on the U.S. charts, peaking at #28 pop in 1971, although a cover version by Helen Reddy was a bigger hit. In the end, she sang Jesus Christ Superstar on the 1970 concept album, in the original Broadway cast (1971), and starred and sang it in the 1973 film by the same title.

Zak Starkey
Zak Starkey (born 13 September 1965) is an English rock drummer. He is the son of Beatles drummer Ringo Starr and Starr's first wife Maureen Starkey Tigrett. He is also well known for his unofficial membership in the English rock band The Who, with whom he has performed and recorded since 1996. He is also the third drummer to have appeared with English rock band Oasis. Starkey has also worked with other musicians and bands such as Johnny Marr, Paul Weller, The Icicle Works, The Waterboys, ASAP and The Lightning Seeds.
At age eight, Starkey became interested in music. At age ten, he began teaching himself to play the drums. His father gave him only one lesson, but afterward discouraged his son's growing interest, hoping instead to see him in the same business as his father. Although Starr has praised his son's abilities he is said to have stated that he had always regarded Starkey as a future lawyer or doctor. The Who's drummer Keith Moon was one of Ringo Starr's closest friends and Starkey's godfather, and although they "never sat together at a drum kit", Moon discussed drumming with Starkey, and gave Starkey his first professional drum kit, which later sold at Sotheby's for twelve thousand pounds. By the age of twelve Starkey was already performing in pubs and was later a member of a garage band called the Next.

We were young
It was fun
And we couldn't lose
Times were right
Over night
We were headline news
Crazy days and reckless nights
Limousines and bright spotlights
We were brothers through it all
And your song
Will play on
Without you
And this world
Won't forget
About you
Every part of you was in your song
Now we will carry on
Never without you (Without you without you)
Within you without you (Within you without you)
'Here Comes the Sun' is about you
Here today
Not alone
With my memories
Life is strange
How things change
It's reality
You played a beautiful melody
That keeps on haunting me
I can always feel you
By my side
And your song (Your song)
Will play on (Play on)
Without you (Without you)
And this world (This world)
Won't forget (Forget)
About you (About you)
Every part of you was in your song
Now we will carry on
Never without you (Without you without you)
Within you without you (Within you without you)
'Here Comes the Sun' is about you
I know all things must pass
And only love will last
I'll always love the memories
Of you and me…
(Take it away Eric...)
**Guitar Playing**
And your song (Your song)
Will play on (Play on)
Without you (Without you)
And this world (This world)
Won't forget (Forget)
About you (About you)
Every part of you was in your song (Your song)
Now we will carry on
Never without you (Never without you)
Within you without you (Within you without you)
We're never without you (We're never without you)
Within you without you (Within you without you)
We're never without you (We're never without you)
We're never without you (We're never without you)
Within you without you (Within you without you)
I think love is about you...

WASN'T TOO LONG AGO I WAS DYING OF AN EMPTY HEART,
WHEN YOU GET LONELY, GETS SO EASY TO FALL APART.
STAYING UP ALL NIGHT,
LOOKING FOR TROUBLE SOON AS IT WOULD START,
THEN THERE WAS YOU THERE, LOVIN' ME,
WAITIN' FOR ME TO GET SMART.
YOU GOT A NICE WAY OF BELIEVIN' IN ME,
YOU GOT A NICE WAY OF TELLIN' ME SO, SO I KNOW.
YOU GOT A NICE WAY OF BELIEVIN' IN ME,
YOU GOT A NICE WAY, LET ME KNOW, SO I KNOW.
BEING' IN LOVE WITH YOU
IS LIKE GROWING UP INTO A CHILD,
ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS LOOK AT ME,
NOTHIN' I CAN DO BUT SMILE.
BACK A FEW YEARS AGO I WAS BLIND,
NOW I CAN SEE FOR MILES,
BABY, YOU SAVED ME, LOVIN' ME,
WILL YOU STAY FOR A WHILE?
YOU GOT A NICE WAY OF BELIEVIN' IN ME,
YOU GOT A NICE WAY OF TELLIN' ME SO, SO I KNOW.
YOU GOT A NICE WAY OF BELIEVIN' IN ME,
YOU GOT A NICE WAY, TELL ME SO, SO I KNOW.
TELL ME YOU LOVE ME, BABY, TELL ME ONCE AGAIN.
BABY, IT'S GOOD THIS LOVIN' YOU,
KNOWIN' THAT YOU'RE MY FRIEND.
YOU GOT A NICE WAY OF BELIEVIN' IN ME,
YOU GOT A NICE WAY OF TELLIN' ME SO, SO I KNOW.
YOU GOT A NICE WAY OF BELIEVIN' IN ME,
YOU GOT A NICE WAY OF TELLIN' ME SO, SO I KNOW.

NO, I CAN'T FORGET THIS EVENING

BUT I GUESS THAT'S JUST THE WAY THE STORY GOES.
YOU ALWAYS SMILE BUT IN YOUR EYES YOUR SORROW SHOWS,
YES, IT SHOWS.
NO, I CAN'T FORGET TOMORROW
WHEN I THINK OF ALL MY SORROWS,
WELL, I HAD YOU THERE BUT THEN I LET YOU GO.
AND NOW IT'S ONLY FAIR THAT I SHOULD LET YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW.

I CAN'T LIVE, I CAN'T GIVE ANY MORE.
CAN'T LIVE IF LIVING IS WITHOUT YOU,
I CAN'T GIVE, I CAN'T GIVE ANY MORE.

I remember it all
That magical moment I'll never forget
We started to fall
Higher and higher in love than I thought I could get
It was so hard to find someone
And then I found you
(Chorus)
What in the world would I do
Living in a world without you
Me and the sky would be blue
Bluer than I ever knew
The sun will shine but there'll be no light
And nothing to look forward to
In a world without you
Just you and I
Passionate lovers forever this time
Our hearts couldn't lie
Never say never whenever you don't want to try
Sometimes it's hard but we'll get through
We always have we always do
(to Chorus)
Being in love letting our feelings show
Let me tell you again what you already know
By Brian O'Doherty and Fred Velez
MAYBE YOUR DADDY NEVER HELD YOU LIKE YOU SHOULD,
MAYBE YOUR MAMA JUST HELD ON THE BEST SHE COULD.
EV'RY SOUL HAS A SECRET,
GIVE IT AWAY OR KEEP IT,
BUT YESTERDAY'S GONE SO TELL ME WHY.
YOU CARRY THE WEIGHT, THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD,
IT'S BREAKIN' YOU DOWN ON YOUR BACK LIKE A BOULDER.
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE, GET RID OF IT, GIRL,
GET IT OFF OF YOUR SHOULDER.
I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN USED,
BUT YOU GOTTA LOSE THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD.
MAYBE I HAVEN'T ALWAYS BEEN THERE JUST FOR YOU,
MAYBE I TRY BUT THEN I GOT MY OWN LIFE TOO.
EV'RY HEART HAS A HUNGER,
I'M NOT GETTING ANY YOUNGER,
I GOT ALL THE CROSSES I CAN BEAR.
DON'T GIMME THE WEIGHT, THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD,
IT'S BREAKIN' ME DOWN ON MY BACK LIKE A BOULDER.
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE, GET RID OF IT, GIRL,
GET IT OFF OF MY SHOULDER.
YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN USED,
AND I GOTTA LOSE THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD.
IT ALL COMES DOWN TO WHO YOU CRUCIFY.
YOU EITHER KISS THE FUTURE OR THE PAST GOODBYE,
WE COULD FLY SO HIGH.
BUT WE CARRY THE WEIGHT, THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD,
IT'S BREAKIN' US DOWN ON OUR BACKS LIKE A BOULDER.
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE, GET RID OF IT, GIRL,
GET IT OFF OF OUR SHOULDERS.
WE'VE ALL BEEN USED,
AND WE GOTTA LOSE THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD.
IT'S TAKIN' US DOWN AND THE NIGHT'S GROWIN' COLDER,
JUST BLAME IT ON FATE, THAT WAS YESTERDAY, GIRL.
AND WE'RE JUST GROWIN' OLDER.
WE'VE ALL BEEN USED,
NOW IT'S TIME TO LOSE THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD,
THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD,
THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD.

HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED A MOONBEAM
AS IT SLITHER CROSS YOUR WINDOW-PANE?
OR STRUGGLE WITH A BIT OF RAIN?
OR DANCE ABOUT THE WEATHERVANE?
OR SETTLE ON A MOVING TRAIN AND WONDER WHERE THE TRAIN'S BEEN?
OR ON A FENCE WITH BITS OF CRAP AROUND IT'S BOTTOM,
BLOWN THERE BY WINDBEAM?
WHO SEARCHES FOR THE MOONBEAM
WHO WAS LAST SEEN LOOKING AFTER TRACKS OF THE CARELESS WINDBEAM?
MOVIN' TO THE TRACKS OF THE TIRELESS FREIGHT TRAIN,
THEN LIGHTING UP THE SITE OF THE WEATHERVANE
AND THE BITS OF RAIN, AND THE WINDOW-PANE,
AND THE EYES OF THOSE WHO THINK THEY SAW IT HAPPEN.
HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED A MOONBEAM
AS IT SLITHER CROSS YOUR WINDOW-PANE?

AH -

LOOKING AFTER TRACKS OF THE CARELESS WINDBEAM?

WE WERE PLAYING AT A CLUB IN COSTA RICA,
WHERE THE LATIN LOVERS COME TO FIND ROMANCE,
WHEN THE LADY WHO WAS DANCIN' ON THE TABLES LOOKED OUR WAY.
I WANNA TANGO ALL NIGHT, MAMBO TILL DAYLIGHT,
THAT WAS ALL SHE SAID.
BUT WHEN SHE SHOWED US HOW, I ALMOST LOST MY HEAD.
THEN SHE TOOK US TO A LITTLE HACIENDA,
WE WERE HOPIN' THAT HER MAMA WAS AWAY.
THEN THE LADY WHO WAS DANCIN' THROUGH HER GARDEN TURNED TO SAY:
I WANNA TANGO ALL NIGHT, MAMBO TILL DAYLIGHT,
THAT WAS ALL SHE SAID.
BUT WHEN SHE SHOWED US HOW, I ALMOST LOST MY HEAD.
I WANNA TANGO ALL NIGHT, RUMBA BY MOONLIGHT,
THAT WAS WHAT SHE SAID.
AND WHEN SHE TOLD US WHY, OUR FACES ALL TURNED RED.
WE'LL DO THE SAMBA TOO,
AND CHA CHA THROUGH THE ROOM.
BUT WHEN HER MAMA, SISTERS AND BROTHERS DANCED THEY,
THEY BEGAN TO SING:
WE WANNA TANGO ALL NIGHT, THAT WAS WHAT THEY SAID.
AND WHEN THEY ALL SHOWED UP, I KNEW WE'VE BEEN MISLED.
WE WANNA TANGO ALL NIGHT, AY AY AY AY AY,
WE'RE GONNA MAMBO ALL NIGHT, AY AY AY AY AY,
WE'RE GONNA RUMBA ALL NIGHT, AY AY AY AY AY.
I SAID, TANGO ALL NIGHT,
RUMBA IN THE MOONLIGHT, (ay ay ay ay ay)
WE'RE GONNA TANGO ALL NIGHT, (ay ay ay ay ay)
WE'RE GONNA TANGO ALL NIGHT, (ay ay ay ay ay)
OH, RUMBA ALL NIGHT LONG. (ay ay ay ay ay)

MIDNIGHT, THE FAMILY WENT TO BED.
"I'M OUT! COME ON, BONCE, FOOD!"
THEY ATE CHRISTMAS CAKE, MINTS PIES, CHEESE.
"CAN'T WE PULL ONE?"
"A CRACKER?"
"WELL, THEY'RE ALL ASLEEP, LISTEN!"
THE TWO MICE PULLED, THE CRACKER PARTED WITH A BANG. THERE WAS SILENCE ABOVE THEM, QUIET AS CHOCOLATE MICE. THE MICE LISTENED.
"LET'S SEE WHAT'S INSIDE."
"LITTLE BAG!"
"BRITISH AIRWAYS! JUST THE THING FOR OUR SURVIVAL KIT."
HE FILLED THE TOY BAG WITH CHEESE AND CAKE AND JUMPED TO THE FLOOR.
"WE'RE AWAY!"
BONCE NOSED HIS WAY THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR LIKE AN ELECTRIC DRILL.
"AFTER YOU, SCOUSE."
SCOUSE PUT HIS NOSE INTO THE OUTSIDE WORLD.
"OH, OH, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S COLD OUT THERE! AND THERE'S WHITE STUFF, SNOW, I THINK."
"OH, SCOUSE, I THINK I'LL STAY HOME."
"YOU CALL THIS HOME? LISTEN, YOU CAN ALWAYS JOIN ME. WATCH THE TELLY, I'LL BE THERE."

I WAS RAISED IN A WORKING TOWN.
I BROKE ALL THE RULES WHEN I WENT TO SCHOOL,

'CAUSE A FACTORY GIRL'S MY TYPE.
I HEAR THEM GOSSIP ON THE STREET,
MOST OF WHAT THEY SAY IS TRUE.
OH, DON'T YOU KNOW THAT I HEAR THEM SAY,
"THERE GOES THAT LAZY, NO GOOD SNOOKEROO."

We've been friends for such a long time
My head has a mind of its own
I don't wanna wait in no line
All I wanna do is go home
Something's goin' on inside me
I won't let it tear me apart
(Chorus)
You got to breakdown to breakthrough
Growing up took someone like you
Forget about the things in your head
It's time you put the puppet to bed
Don't tell me Rome was built in a day
You've got to leave before you arrive
If you're willing to give it away
It's the only way to survive
Never up is never in
You got to lose before you can win
(to Chorus)
Do yourself a favour
You've got to love your neighbour
Even when the chips are down
Cut the strings and let me go,
Now this is a one man show

I WOKE UP THIS EVENIN' AND MY HEAD WAS REELIN'
NOTHING WAS HAPPENIN', I HAD NO FEELIN'
I KNEW THAT I HAD TO BE OUT ON THE STREETS
OUT ON THE STREET
GOT IN MY CAR, LOOKIN' FOR ACTION
BLEW RIGHT DOWN BROADWAY, GOT NO REACTION
TWO COPS WERE FOLLOWING ME OUT ON THE STREET
OUT ON THE STREET
GOT OUT OF MY CAR AND I STARTED WALKIN'
I MET SOME LADIES AND WE STARTED TALKIN'
THAT'S WHY I'M SO GLAD TO BE OUT ON THE STREET
OUT ON THE STREET
I'M SPENDING MY MONEY, TAKING MY CHANCES
GOING TO CLUBS, DOIN' NEW DANCES
WATCHIN' THE FIRE ON MY FEET OUT ON THE STREET
OUT ON THE STREET
WELL, NIGHT TIME IS FADIN', I JUMPED OFF MY MOTOR
SOMEBODY TOLD ME TO TRY THE DAKOTA
THEY'RE JUST LIKE TWO PEOPLE YOU'LL MEET OUT ON THE STREET
OUT ON THE STREET
THEY'RE JUST LIKE VINI* AND ME
OUT ON THE STREET
WOAH! OUT ON THAT STREET!
*SPOKEN*
HEY, I WAS WALKIN' DOWN THE STREET AND YOU KNOW WHAT THIS GUY SAID
HE SAYS, "HEY MAN", HE SAYS "I WANT THAT WATCH!"
I SAID "WHAT? YOU WANT *THIS* WATCH?"
HE SAID "YEAH! I WANT THAT WATCH!"
I SAID "WELL, YOU WATCH THIS, CAUSE I'M GONNA STOMP ON YOUR F--KIN' HEAD!"
AND YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAID TO ME?
HE SAID, "HEY BABY, I'M GONNA STICK THIS KNIFE RIGHT UP YOUR NOSE!"
I SAID "WELL, I DON'T MIND AS THERE'S SOMETHING ON THE END OF IT...".

HER MOTHER WROTE A LETTER,
SAID SHE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BETTER
IF SHE WOULD JUST STAY GONE.
SHE KNEW OF HER CONDITION,
BUT SHE WOULDN'T GIVE PERMISSION
FOR HER TO COME BACK HOME.
SO SHE CALLED THE BOY WHO LOVED HER
BUT ALL HE DID WAS SNUB HER,
SAID, "FACE IT ON YOUR OWN."
MM-MM, LOVE DON'T LAST LONG.
A YOUNG MAN GOT UNLUCKY
AND GOT BUSTED IN KENTUCKY,
ASKED HIS DAD TO GO HIS BAIL.
BUT HIS DAD HAD BIG AMBITIONS
WITH THE LOCAL POLITICIANS,
TOLD HIS SON TO GO TO HELL.
HE HUNG HIMSELF THAT MORNING
AND THE NOTE THAT THEY FOUND ON HIM
SAID, "DAD, PLEASE TAKE ME HOME."
MM-MM, LOVE DON'T LAST LONG.
A WOMAN TOLD HER HUSBAND,
SHE LIVED EV'RY DAY TO LOVE HIM,
NOTHING ELSE FITS IN HER PLANS.
THEN WITHOUT A WARNING,
HE CAME HOME FROM WORK ONE MORNING,
FOUND HER THERE WITH ANOTHER MAN.
IN A FIT OF ANGER
HE TOOK HER LIFE AND THE STRANGER'S,
THEN HE TOOK HIS OWN.
MM-MM, LOVE DON'T LAST LONG.

Sometimes it's a lonely life I lead
Sometimes I just don't care
No one around me to put me down
Me - I can go anywhere
Well I'm alone but I'm alright
I'm on my own on a Saturday night
I don't know why honey I don't care
(Chorus)
I'll be fine anywhere, I'm doing alright
I'll be fine anywhere, I know a lot about living
It don't pay to care, I'll be fine anywhere
Well I say somewhere down the line
If nobody's next to me
Don't need no one to reminisce
All of my memories
Well I'm alone but that's alright
I'm on my own on a Saturday night
I don't know and sugar I don't care
(to Chorus)
I got no worries when I'm out running around
The devil don't own my my angel told me
Man you're heaven bound
Well I'm alone but that's alright
Every day is Saturday night
I don't know and I don't really care
By Roger Brown, Ruan O'Lochlainn and Donald Pleasence
I KNOW A PLACE THAT'S WILD BUT SAFE,
WHERE OAK TREES GROW WITH PINE.
WHERE THE BIG BAD WOLF MEETS RED RIDING HOOD
AND THEY LAUGH AND GET ALONG JUST FINE.
AND WHEN I THINK OF YOU AND THINK OF ME,
I WONDER WHO'S YOU A WHICH IS ME.
WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES TWELVE,
WILL IT BE SAFE FOR ME?
I KNOW A PLACE IN THE US OF A,
WHERE THE STATUE OF LIBERTY STANDS TALL.
WHERE A FAT PUSSY CAT AND A LITTLE WHITE MOUSE
WALTZ HAPPY AT A BALL.
AND WHEN I THINK OF YOU AND THINK OF ME,
I WONDER WHO'S YOU A WHICH IS ME.
WILL THE FAT PUSSY CAT EAT THIS LITTLE WHITE MOUSE FOR TEA?
DIALOG:
SCOUSE SINGS IN ANIMO TO HIS FRIEND, GEOFFREY THE CAT
DON'T EAT ME, LET'S BE FRIENDS,
DON'T EAT ME, LET'S BE FRIENDS,
DON'T EAT ME, LET'S BE FRIENDS,
DON'T EAT ME, LET'S BE FRIENDS.
DIALOG:
"THANK YOU, THANK YOU. HERE'S A SONG YOU MAY HAVE HEARD BEFORE, "SNOW UP YOUR NOSE FOR CHRISTMAS". HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYBODY!"
SNOW UP YOUR NOSE FOR CHRISTMAS...
DIALOG:
SCOUSE LEFT THE STAGE AND JOINED GEOFFREY THE CAT AT HIS TABLE.
"I CAN SEE WHAT YOU MEAN."
"I HOPE YOU WOULD."
"LOOK HERE, WE'VE GOT A LITTLE PLACE, WE CALL IT 'THE DISCATEQUE'. HOW ABOUT A DRINK AND A DANCE AND SOME CONVERSATION?"
"WHY NOT?"
"I WILL COME SCRATCHING ON YOUR CABIN DOOR."
SOON AFTER MIDNIGHT, SCOUSE HEARD A GENTLE SCRATCH AND FAINT MEOW. GEOFFREY WAS WAITING OUTSIDE.
"WHAT'S THAT YOU'VE GOT THERE?"
"BRITISH AIRWAYS BAG. A FEW PRESENTS FOR THE CATS."
"COME ON!"
"WHERE ARE WE GOING?"
"YOU'LL SEE."
ALONG THE MAIN CORRIDOR AND DOWN THREE FLIGHTS OF STEPS, TO A LITTLE TRAP DOOR WHICH SWUNG IN EACH DIRECTION. A LITTLE DOOR MARKED 'DANGER! INSPECTION TRAP!'.
"THROUGH HERE."
SCOUSE FELT HIMSELF FALLING THROUGH SPACE. HE LANDED WITH A BUMP.
"YOU, YOU MIGHT HAD KILLED ME!"
"SUPPOSE SO. KNOW WHERE WE ARE?"
"NO?"
"INSPECTION SHAFT. WE'RE ABOVE THE OCEAN HERE."
"IT'S COLD AND DAMP! IS, IS THIS THE DISCATEQUE?"
"YES, IT'S A GOOD FLOOR FOR DANCING."
"WHERE, WHERE ARE THE CATS?"
MEOW! MEOW! MEOW!... (cat noises)
"LET'S HAVE SOME LIGHT! THERE'S A MOON! HEAVE-HO! MY HEARTY!"
A SMALL POT HOLE WAS OPENED. SCOUSE COULD SMELL THE SEA.
"WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A DANCE NOW AND AFTER THAT WE'LL SENTENCE YOU!"
"OH, WHAT FOR?"
"PRETENDING TO BE A HUMAN BEING. ENGAGE, CHAPS! THE DANCE IS ON."
"THERE'S NO MUSIC?"
"WE MAKE THE MUSIC. EVER HEARD OF A CATERWAUL?"
When I woke up this morning
Much to my surprise
The sun was going down
And I was still alive
I looked into the mirror
And according to my eyes
The Martians have invaded
It's hopeless
I went to see my doctor
To ask him what to do
Depending on the
Diagnosis
I said, "Doc, I'm seeing double
And how are both of you?"
No cause for alarm
It's hopeless
You don't stand a chance
It's hopeless
Everybody dance
Well, there's paradise and doomsday
It depends on which comes first
There's inner peace
Through meditation
There's optimists and pessimists
I don't know which is worse
But the yogi mow mow, but the yogi mow mow
It's hopeless
The solution has been dissolved
The crisis has been resolved
There's no need to change your plans
It's a hopeless situation
For tomorrow is another day
And everything will be okay
And by the way
By Randy Newman
HAVE YOU SEEN MY BABY ON THE AVENUE?
YOU KNOW SHE'S DRIVING ME CRAZY
WITH THE FUNNY THINGS SHE DO.
I SEEN HER WITH THE MILKMAN,
RIDIN' DOWN THE STREET,
WHEN YOU'RE THROUGH WITH MY BABY, MILKMAN,
SEND HER HOME TO ME.
HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON,
HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
YOU KNOW IT'S BEEN SO LONG
SINCE SHE HAS BEEN GONE,
HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
I SEEN HER WITH THE GYPSIES, DANCIN' IN THE WOODS,
SHE'S ALWAYS BEEN UNFAITHFUL TO ME,
SHE'S NEVER BEEN GOOD.
I SAID, "PLEASE, DON'T TALK TO STRANGERS, BABY."
BUT SHE ALWAYS DO.
SHE SAID, "I TALK TO STRANGERS IF I WANT TO
'CAUSE I'M A STRANGER TOO."
HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON,
HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
YOU KNOW IT'S BEEN SO LONG
SINCE SHE HAS BEEN GONE,
HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
ALRIGHT!

YOU KNOW IT'S BEEN SO LONG

I TELL HER THAT I'D RATHER BE ALONE,
SHE GETS THE CAR AND SAYS SHE'LL DRIVE ME HOME.
SHE GIVES ME HARD TIMES,
BUT WHEN SHE LOVES ME, SHE LOVES ME.
SHE GIVES ME HARD TIMES,
BUT WHEN SHE LOVES ME, SHE LOVES ME.
NOW, TAKE A NIGHT, LIKE THE NIGHT WE MET,
I WAS DRINKING IN THE BAR, JUST TRYIN' TO FORGET.
WHEN SHE COMES HOME AND SAYS, "YOU'RE LOOKING BLUE."
I SAID, "WITH MY PROBLEMS SO, WOULDN'T YOU?"
SHE TAKES ME HOME AND SLIPS ON SOMETHING COOL,
SHE GIVES ME KISSES WHERE SHE DON'T AS A RULE.
SHE GIVES ME HARD TIMES,
BUT WHEN SHE LOVES ME, SHE LOVES ME.
TAKE IT AWAY, SUGAR!
SHE GIVES ME HARD TIMES,
BUT WHEN SHE LOVES ME, SHE LOVES ME.
NOW, TAKE A NIGHT, LIKE THE NIGHT WE MET,
I WAS DRINKING IN THE BAR, JUST TRYIN' TO FORGET.
WHEN SHE COMES HOME AND SAYS, "YOU'RE LOOKING BLUE."
I SAID, "WITH MY PROBLEMS SO, WOULDN'T YOU?"
SHE TAKES ME HOME AND SLIPS ON SOMETHING COOL,
SHE LET ME KISS HER WHERE SHE DON'T AS A RULE.
SHE GIVES ME HARD TIMES,
BUT WHEN SHE LOVES ME, SHE LOVES ME.
SHE GIVES ME HARD TIMES,
BUT WHEN SHE LOVES ME, SHE LOVES ME.
SHE GIVE ME, SHE GIVE ME SUCH HARD TIMES,
SHE GIVE ME, SHE GIVE ME SUCH HARD TIMES,
SHE GIVE ME, SHE GIVE ME SUCH HARD TIMES,
SHE GIVE ME, SHE GIVE ME SUCH HARD TIMES,
SHE GIVE ME, SHE GIVE ME SUCH HARD TIMES,
SHE GIVE ME, SHE GIVE ME SUCH HARD TIMES,
SHE GIVE ME, SHE GIVE ME SUCH HARD TIMES.

ME AND BILLY WERE A COUPLE OF KIDS,
NOBODY KNEW ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE DID.
SHARING OUR TOYS AND RIDING OUR BIKES,
WE THOUGHT IT WOULD LAST FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES.
BUT WE GAVE IT ALL UP,
WE GAVE IT ALL UP,
WE GAVE IT ALL UP FOR SCHOOL.
THEN MY FAM'LY HAD TO MOVE OUT OF TOWN,
MADE SOME NEW FRIENDS AND STARTED HANGIN' AROUND.
STARTED STEALING LIKE THE REST OF THE GUYS,
MY FRIEND GOT CAUGHT, I SAW THE FEARS IN HIS EYES.
SO I GAVE IT ALL UP,
I GAVE IT ALL UP,
I GAVE IT ALL UP FOR LOVE.
SHE WAS EIGHTEEN AND I TOPPED HER BY ONE,
SHE SAID SHE'S HEARD ABOUT THE BAD THINGS I'VE DONE.
BUT SHE LOVED ME AND SHE JUST DIDN'T CARE,
BUT ONE NIGHT SHE NEEDED ME AND I WASN'T THERE.
SO SHE GAVE ME RIGHT UP, (gave me right up)
SHE GAVE ME RIGHT UP, (gave me right up)
SHE GAVE ME RIGHT UP FOR LOVE.
AS I LOOK BACK AND WONDER,
HAVE I WASTED MY TIME?
WILL I EVER LEARN THE MEANING OF LIFE,
WILL I LEARN IT IN TIME.
SO I SIT HERE WITH A COUPLE OF BEERS,
WONDERING HOW I'VE LASTED ALL OF THESE YEARS.
YOU'RE BESIDE ME AND IT'S FEELING SO RIGHT,
HOW I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
'CAUSE I GAVE IT ALL UP, (gave it all up)
I GAVE IT ALL UP, (gave it all up)
I GAVE IT ALL UP FOR YOU.
GAVE IT ALL UP,
I GAVE IT ALL UP,
I GAVE IT ALL UP FOR YOU.
(All for you, gave it all up for you) GAVE IT ALL UP FOR YOU,
(All for you, gave it all up for you) SO I GAVE IT ALL UP FOR YOU,
(All for you, gave it all up for you) GAVE IT ALL UP FOR YOU,
(All for you, gave it all up for you) SO I GAVE IT ALL UP FOR YOU.
(All for you, gave it all up for you)
(All for you, gave it all up for you)

I'VE BEEN HERE SO VERY LONG,
I'VE LOST ALL MY DIRECTIONS.

We can put a man on the moon
Make it snow in the heat of June
It's amazing . . . what we can do
You can see the sights of Rome
Shop in Paris and jet back home
Got our dreams in flight
We've come so far
Think we're doing alright
But we don't know a thing about love
No not much
We don't know a thing about love
Don't know a thing about it
Everybody needs someone
A little love when the day is done
But it's not easy it's hard to do
There's no right and there's no wrong
We don't need science to get along
It takes a woman and a man
It's all there to understand
We don't know a thing about love
No not much
Don't know a thing about love
Don't know a thing about it
There ain't nothing we can't do
It's all up to me and you
Got our dreams in flight
We've come so far but
It's still not right
Cause we don't know a thing about love
No not much
Don't know a thing about love

DIALOG:
THE PASSENGERS CROWDED THE DECKS. THEY LOOKED AT NEW YORK, THE STATUE OF LIBERTY, THE WINTER SUN ON THE HUDSON RIVER.
LOUEY LANDED DELICATELY.
"LOOK OUT, FOLKS! HERE'S SCOUSEY!"

IF YOU'RE GONNA BE FAMOUS,
I KNOW JUST WHERE YOU SHOULD BE.
STEPPIN' OUT ON A STAGE SOMEWHERE
IN THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY.
AND IF YOU'RE GONNA BE BIG TIME,
BIGGER THAN ANY MOUSE SHORT SIZE.

AND I AM GONNA TELL YOU WHY.
IN AMERICA YOU CAN STEAL THE HEARTS,
SEE SIGHTS THAT'S YET UNSEEN.
THEY'LL MAKE YOU FAMOUS OVERNIGHT
IN AMERICA, A MOUSE'S DREAM.
ME FATHER LEARNED A LOT IN LONDON,
AND ONE DAY HE TOLD ME, "SON,
IF YOU WANNA KNOW WHERE THE STARS ARE BORN,
WELL, I, I CAN TELL YOU WHERE IT'S DONE."
NOW I'M SIMPLY ORDINARY,
SO I MAY BE WHERE I MAY BE.
BUT THERE'S JUST ONE PLACE IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD
I KNOW FOR A MOUSE LIKE YOU TO BE.
AND THAT'S AMERICA WHERE YOU WILL FIND
THE GRASS OF GREENER GREEN.
THE FINE YOU'LL FIND IS SUPER FINE
IN AMERICA, A MOUSE'S DREAM.

JUST IMAGINE OLD BROADWAY.
DON'T YOU WISH THAT YOU WERE THERE RIGHT NOW?
DON'T YOU WISH THAT YOU WERE ON YOUR WAY?
TO AMERICA WHERE THE STREETS ARE OF GOLD,
ALTHOUGH I'VE NEVER BEEN
I'M SURE IT'S TRUE, 'CAUSE I'VE BEEN TOLD,
AMERICA'S A MOUSE'S DREAM.
DIALOG:
A WAITER IN A WHITE JACKET CAME HURTLING TOWARDS HIM, HE WAS ABOUT TO THREAD ON SCOUSE WHEN SCOUSE NOTICED THAT THE DOOR BESIDE HIM WAS SLIGHTLY OPEN. HE DODGED INSIDE AND STOOD STILL IN THE ROOM FOR A MOMENT.
"THAT WAS A NARROW SQUEAK!"
IN A LARGE BED, COVERED BY A SILK QUILT, PROPPED UP AGAINST SATIN PILLOWS, SURROUNDED BY CRAYONS AND PIECES OF PAPER, DOLLS, STUFFED ANIMALS, SAT A SMALL GIRL.
"OH, GOOD! YOU CAN TALK!"
"DOESN'T IT SURPRISE YOU?"
"NO, ALL THE ANIMALS IN MY DREAMS SPEAK."
"I'M NOT A DREAM, I'M SCOUSE THE MOUSE. I'M GOING TO BE FAMOUS! I CAN TALK, I CAN SING, I LEARNT IT FROM THE TELLY."

WE DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME TO THINK THINGS OVER,
WE HAD A LOT OF FUN, WE HAD SOME TEARS.
STEPPING OUT OF LONELINESS,
NOW THE ROAD DON'T SEEM SO LONG,
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.
ROCK AND ROLL HAS GOT A REPUTATION,
BAD BOYS CAUSE A LOT OF FEAR.
BUT I NEVER MEANT TO REALLY HURT YOU, OH NO, NO,
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.
TRAVELLING THE WORLD IN A ROCK AND ROLL BAND,
IT'S IN MY BLOOD, IT'S IN MY BLOOD.
OOH, BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK HOME.
DANCING WITH YOUR SISTER ON A SATURDAY NIGHT,
IT'S UNDERSTOOD, IT'S UNDERSTOOD.
WHEN EV'RY BOY AND GIRL,
OOH, WAS ROCKING ALL OVER THE WORLD.
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.
TRAVELLING THE WORLD IN A ROCK AND ROLL BAND,
IT'S IN MY BLOOD, IT'S IN MY BLOOD.
OOH, BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK HOME.

OOOH...ONE, TWO...
MAMA, I GUESS YOU HAVE STOOD AND CURSED
THE DAY I FOUND THAT OLD GUITAR.
WHEN UNCLE HARRY DIED,
THE ONE WE FOUND IN THE BOOT OF HIS OLD CAR.
I REMEMBER HOW MY LITTLE FINGERS BLISTERED
WHEN I TRIED TO LEARN TO PLAY,
I BET YOU NEVER DREAMED THAT OLD GUITAR
WOULD PUT ME WHERE I AM TODAY.
YES, IT'S BEEN A LOT OF YEARS,
I GUESS IT'S BEEN AN INTERESTING LIFE.
NO, MAM, I NEVER FOUND ANOTHER WOMAN
THAT I WANTED FOR A WIFE.
I GUESS THE FIRST TIME SHOWED US
THAT I WASN'T THE DOMESTICATED KIND,
BUT I DON'T BLAME HER FOR GETTING TIRED
OF LIVING FROM A SUITCASE ALL THE TIME.
YES, I KNOW SOMETIMES IT LOOKS
LIKE I'VE JUST SIMPLY THROWN MY LIFE AWAY.
I JUST ALWAYS FIGURED THAT IF I HUNG ON,
I'D MAKE IT BIG SOME DAY.
I GUESS IT TAKES A SPECIAL BREED
TO LIVE THIS LIFE AND THINK THE WAY I DO,
BUT YOU'LL BE GLAD TO HEAR THAT ANY MORE
I AIN'T NEAR AS BAD TO DRINK.
HOW IS TOMMY DOING WITH THE BUSINESS
NOW THAT DADDY'S PASSED AWAY?
I'M SURE DADDY ALWAYS KNEW THAT TOM
WOULD BE THE ONE TO TAKE HIS PLACE.
AND WHEN HE TRIED TO LECTURE ME,
I'D SIT AND PICK AND SING AND LET HIM NAG,
BUT WAY DOWN DEEP INSIDE I THINK
HE ALWAYS KNEW THAT HARDWARE AIN'T MY BAG.
WE OPEN MONDAY NIGHT IN BOLTON CITY
FOR ANOTHER TWO WEEK STAND,
I WISH THERE WAS SOME WAY THAT YOU AND TOM
COULD COME AND HEAR MY BAND.
WISH I HAD THE TIME TO TELL YOU 'BOUT THE
PLACES THAT I'VE BEEN, THE THINGS I SAW.
AND I'LL SEND THE FIFTEEN DOLLARS SOON
AS I GET TO THE CLUB AND MAKE A DRAW.
WHEN YOU'RE HOT, YOU'RE HOT THERE...
AH, I MEAN, AH, WHEN...WHAT IS...
WHEN YOU'RE HOT, YOU'RE HOT, YEAH, OKAY...

LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDOURED THING,
IT'S THE APRIL ROSE THAT ONLY GROWS
IN THE EARLY SPRING.
LOVE IS NATURE'S WAY OF GIVING
A REASON TO BE LIVING,
THE GOLDEN CROWN THAT MAKES A MAN A KING.
ONCE ON A HIGH AND WINDY HILL,
IN THE MORNING MIST, TWO LOVERS KISSED
AND THE WORLD STOOD STILL.
THEN YOUR FINGERS TOUCHED MY SILENT HEART
AND TAUGHT IT HOW TO SING,
YES, TRUE LOVE'S A MANY SPLENDOURED THING.
ONCE ON A HIGH AND WINDY HILL,
IN THE MORNING MIST, TWO LOVERS KISSED
AND THE WORLD STOOD STILL.

SEE THE MARKET PLACE IN OLD ALGIERS,
SEND ME PHOTOGRAPHS AND SOUVENIRS,
JUST REMEMBER TILL YOUR DREAM APPEARS,
YOU BELONG TO ME.
OH, I'LL BE SO ALONE WITHOUT YOU, ("oh, I will, honey")
DARLING, DARLING, YOU'LL BE LONESOME TOO,

EV'RY NIGHT SHE'S ON THE CORNER,
SHE'S GOT HER BUSINESS IN THE STREET.
HER SMILE MAY MAKE YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN OWN HER,
BUT THAT SMILE'S RESERVED FOR EV'RYONE SHE SEES.
WOMAN OF THE NIGHT, I'VE HEARD THEM CALL HER,
BUT SHE'S STILL A WOMAN WHEN MORNING COMES AROUND.
SHE WALKS THROUGH THE MARKET AS A LADY
AND SHE'S KINDA NICE TO HAVE AROUND.
SHE'S A WOMAN OF THE NIGHT AND I LOVE HER,
ALTHO' HER LOVE, MY SILVER DOESN'T BUY.
IT'S WORTH THE RAIN TO HAVE A LITTLE SUNSHINE
AND YOU LAUGH MUCH LOUDER WHEN YOU LEARN TO CRY.
I'VE SEEN THEM PAY FOR HER AFFECTION,
BUT WHEN MORNING COMES, NO ONE CALLS HER NAME.
SHE WAKES TO FIND NO SIGN OF APPRECIATION,
STILL SHE ISN'T WEARING ANY SHAME.
SHE'S A WOMAN OF THE NIGHT AND I LOVE HER,
ALTHO' HER LOVE, MY SILVER DOESN'T BUY.
IT'S WORTH THE RAIN TO HAVE A LITTLE SUNSHINE
AND YOU LAUGH MUCH LOUDER WHEN YOU LEARN TO CRY.
SHE'S A WOMAN OF THE NIGHT AND I LOVE HER,
ALTHO' HER LOVE, MY SILVER DOESN'T BUY.
IT'S WORTH THE RAIN TO HAVE A LITTLE SUNSHINE
AND YOU LAUGH MUCH LOUDER WHEN YOU LEARN TO CRY.
SHE'S A WOMAN OF THE NIGHT AND I LOVE HER,
ALTHO' HER LOVE, MY SILVER DOESN'T BUY.
What love wants to be
is a song that lasts forever
the perfect melody
when two hearts sing together
the moon can't shine, without the sun
on my own I'm only one
now I have a reason to believe
what love wants to be
you are that to me.
What love wants to be
is deeped than an ocean
green eyes like the see
reflecting true devotion
when the night is still, the stars that shine
say yet again that you are mine
no need to keep on searching endlessly
what love wants to be
you are that to me.
After the band is gone
we will keep dancing on
like every night, is Saturday night.
What love wants to be
we've heard it through the ages
but no one ever told me that is free
what love wants to be
you are that to me
what love wants to be.
You are that to me.

YOU ALWAYS HURT THE ONE YOU LOVE,
THE ONE YOU SHOULDN'T HURT AT ALL.
YOU ALWAYS TAKE THE SWEETEST ROSE
AND CRUSH IT UNTIL THE PETALS FALL.
YOU ALWAYS BREAK THE KINDEST HEART
WITH A HASTY WORD YOU CAN'T RECALL.
SO IF I BROKE YOUR HEART LAST NIGHT
IT'S BECAUSE I LOVE YOU MOST OF ALL.
YOU ALWAYS BREAK THE KINDEST HEART
WITH A HASTY WORD YOU CAN'T RECALL.
SO IF I BROKE YOUR HEART LAST NIGHT
IT'S BECAUSE I LOVE YOU MOST OF ALL.
IT'S BECAUSE I LOVE YOU MOST OF ALL.

A young man strumming his guitar
in the corner of a bar
singing â'bout a brocken heart
for hours and hours
by closing time I face the fact
that if I had a gift like that
I know that I could win her back
but there's some things I can't do
so now it's up to you.
Write one for me
put the perfect words together
write one for me
the melody to last forever
I don't have the song, so if you please
tell her she's a right one for me.
It does no good for you to play
a pretty song like Yesterday
â'cause that's not what I need to say
to get her to love me
I'm too scared to tell her so
so if you'd be my Cyrano
and send to her a tune I know
that she would send her mind
so take a little time and...
Write one for me ...
If I could have a poem, I would send one
but I don't have a pen, I can't depend on
I can't come up with a single line
so would you write the song
and tell her what's is my mine, all mine.
Write one for me ...

WRACK MY BRAIN, WRACK MY BRAIN,
TILL MY HEAD'S FILLED WITH PAIN,
WRACK MY BRAIN.
ALL DRIED UP, I'M ALL DRIED UP,
ALL I HAVE'S THIS EMPTY CUP,
ALL DRIED UP.
WHAT I HAVE, YOU DON'T WANT,
WHAT YOU WANT, I CAN'T GIVE.
I GOT OUT OF TOUCH WITH YOU AND YOURS,
THE WAY THAT YOU LIVE.
I TRY TO DO MY BEST FOR YOU,
WHILE THE SKY POURS DOWN THE RAIN,
WRACK MY BRAIN.
WITH A WILL THERE'S A WAY,
BUT THERE'S NO WAY I CAN SEE,
COMING UP WITH SOMETHING YOU'D ENJOY
AS MUCH AS TV
ALL THE SAME, I PLAY THE GAME,
UP AND DOWN OLD MEMORY LANE,
WRACK MY BRAIN, (wrack my brain)

SOFTLY I SEARCH MY MEM'RYS
AND HOPE I MAY FIND YESTERDAY.
AND JUST LIKE HER, MY THOUGHTS WANDER
AND LIKE HER QUIETLY SLIP AWAY.
LOVE BRINGS OUT THE WEAKNESS IN A MAN
AND I'M SO WEAK I JUST CAN'T STAND
TO BE WITHOUT HER,
WITHOUT HER,
WITHOUT HER.
THERE WAS A TIME SHE WALKED WITH ME,
BUT YESTERDAY COMES ONLY ONE TIME.
AND I CAN SEE A TOMORROW
WITH YESTERDAY CLING TO MY MIND.
TIME WILL TAKE HER MEMORY THEY SAY,
BUT IT GETS HARDER EV'RY DAY,
TO LIVE WITHOUT HER,
WITHOUT HER,
WITHOUT HER.

LOOK AT ME NOW, AIN'T I A SIGHT?
EYES BLOODY RED, FACE PUFFY WHITE.
HAIR TANGLED UP AND WRINKLED OLD CLOTHES,
I'M A LIVING EXAMPLE OF A BIG OVERDOSE OF:
WINE, WOMEN AND LOUD HAPPY SONGS,
I HAD ALL THREE BUT NONE LASTED LONG.
THE WOMEN RAN OFF, I DRANK ALL THE WINE
AND THE SONGS DIED AWAY WHEN I RAN OUT OF DIMES.
IT'S STRANGE HOW THE WINE WORKS ON A FOOL,
IT SEEPS THROUGH HIS MIND,
LEAVES HIM GLUED TO THE STOOL.
WOMEN LEAVE YOU WISHING YOU'D JUST NEVER BEEN
BUT THE SONGS MAKES YOU HAPPY,
SOON YOU'RE SEARCHING AGAIN FOR:
WINE, WOMEN AND LOUD HAPPY SONGS,

WHO NEEDS A HEART THAT IS BROKEN IN TWO?
WHO NEEDS A DREAM THAT'S BEEN SHATTERED?
WHO CRIES FOR MORE WHEN THE JOY TURNS TO PAIN?
YOU JUST PRETEND IT NEVER MATTERED.
(Tell me, who needs a love like yours?)
THAT IS BRINGING ME DOWN?
(And tell me, who sees a love like ours?)
THAT WENT WRONG FROM THE START?
YOU HAVE BROKEN MY HEART,
WE'RE JUST OCEANS APART
BUT STILL IT DOESN'T MATTER.
WHY DOES IT HURT WHEN YOU KNOW WHO'S TO BLAME?
WHY WERE THE WORDS SOFTLY SPOKEN?
WHY WASTE THE TIME WHEN WE'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE?
THE TIES THAT BIND ARE ALMOST BROKEN.
(Tell me, who needs a love like yours?)
THAT IS BRINGING ME DOWN?
(And tell me, who sees a love like ours?)
THAT WENT WRONG FROM THE START?
YOU HAVE BROKEN MY HEART,
WE'RE STILL OCEANS APART
BUT STILL IT DOESN'T MATTER.

I'M DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS,
JUST LIKE THE ONES WE USED TO KNOW.
WHERE THE TREETOPS GLISTEN, AND CHILDREN LISTEN
TO HEAR SLEIGH BELLS IN THE SNOW.
I'M DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS,
WITH EV'RY CHRISTMAS CARD I WRITE.
MAY YOUR DAYS BE MERRY AND BRIGHT
AND MAY ALL YOUR CHRISTMASES BE WHITE.
"BLUE, MAYBE PINK, OR THAT A LITTLE CERISSE
ALL THE COLOURS OF THE RAINBOW."
I'M DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS,
WITH EV'RY CHRISTMAS CARD I WRITE.
MAY YOUR DAYS BE MERRY AND BRIGHT
AND MAY ALL YOUR CHRISTMASES BE WHITE. (may all your Chrismases be white)

We were once upon a time
then your love disappeared
you can't help crying
when you love something so dear
there's a mile of heartache that I had to cross
face down, longing for the love I lost
I can't help wonderin'
how I ended up here.
So I cried so hard
I was trippin' on my own tears.
What was so confusing
is now becoming so clear
she tried to tell me
what I never wanted to hear
it don't matter if the sun does shine
it's always clouded know that you're not mine
for one foolish moment
won't you forgive me dear.
So I cried so hard
I was trippin' on my own tears.
Why you can't that I'm dying?
I'm not a saint, but god I'm trying, trying.
It don't matter
if you're wrong or wright
when you're walking the floor
and you're up all the night
I'll wait for you
if it takes a millions years.
Well I cried so hard
I was trippin' on my own tears
(Good morning, campers!)
I'm your uncle Ernie,
And I welcome you to Tommy's holiday camp
The camp with no difference,
Never mind the weather
When you come to Tommy's, the holiday forever
The camp with no difference,
Never mind the weather
When you come to Tommy's, the holiday forever

Now get yourself together
Welcome!)

Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely nights, dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new and each kiss
An inspiration but that was long ago
Now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song
Beside a garden wall where
Stars are bright, you are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairytale
Of paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of loves refrain
Ah, hit me
The nightingale tells his fairytale
Of paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody

PATIENTLY SHE STARES DOWN THE RUNWAY,
TODAY'S THE DAY THAT HE IS COMING HOME.
SEEMS LIKE HE'S BEEN GONE A LIFE TIME
AND A LIFE TIME IS A LONG TIME TO BE GONE.
BUT THERE ARE SONGS THAT NEED SINGING,
AND THERE ARE THINGS THAT MUST BE DONE.
THERE ARE THOUGHTS THAT STILL NEED THINKING,
AND THERE ARE WARS THAT MUST BE WON.
HE WAS JUST A BOY WHEN THEY SENT FOR HIM
AND OVERNIGHT TURNED HIM INTO A MAN.
PROUDLY HE HAD SERVED HIS COUNTRY
IN A WAR HE DIDN'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND.
THE FLAG STILL WAVES, HIS WAR IS OVER,
HE'LL NEVER HAVE TO KILL AGAIN.
AND AS SHE WAITS, SHE THINKS IT OVER,
IS WINNING WORTH THE PRIZE WE PAY TO WIN?
HER THOUGHTS KEEP WANDERING TO HIS CHILDHOOD,
WHEN ALL HIS HAND GRENADES WERE MERELY TOYS.
AND "WAR" WAS JUST A GAME THAT HE WAS PLAYING
WITH PLASTIC GUNS LIKE OTHER LITTLE BOYS.
AND EV'RY DAY WHEN PLAY WAS OVER,
HE'D PUT HIS LITTLE TOYS AWAY.
AND SHE'D BE STANDING, WAITING FOR HIM,
THE WAY SHE'S WAITING HERE TODAY.
AS THE PLANE STOPS SHE STARTS THINKING,
WILL HE STILL LOOK THE WAY HE DID BEFORE?
OR WILL HIS EYES REFLECT THE PAIN OF KILLING,
LIKE MOST YOUNG MEN WHEN THEY COME HOME FROM WAR?
THESE LAST FEW MINUTES SEEM LIKE HOURS,
SHE TRIES HER BEST NOT TO CRY.
BUT THERE'S THAT HEARSE FILLED UP WITH FLOWERS,
DID HE REALLY HAVE TO DIE?
NO, NO, NO, NO,
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO,

By Bud Green, Les Brown and Ben Homer
GONNA TAKE A SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY,
GONNA SET MY HEART AT EASE.
GONNA MAKE A SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY,
TO RENEW OLD MEMORIES.
I'VE GOT MY BAG AND GOT MY RESERVATION,
SPENT EACH DIME I COULD AFFORD.
LIKE A CHILD IN WILD ANTICIPATION,
LONG TO HEAR THAT "ALL ABOARD!"
SEVEN, (seven)
THAT'S THE TIME WE LEAVE,
AT SEVEN. (seven)
I'LL BE WAITING OUT FOR HEAVEN, (heaven)
COUNTING EV'RY MILE OF RAILROAD TRACK
THAT TAKES ME BACK.
NEVER THOUGHT MY HEART COULD BE SO YEARNING,
WHY DID I DECIDE TO ROAM?
GOT TO TAKE THIS SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY,
SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY HOME.
I SAID AT SEVEN,
THAT'S THE TIME WE LEAVE,
AT SEVEN.
I'LL BE WAITING OUT FOR HEAVEN,
COUNTING EV'RY MILE OF RAILROAD TRACK
THAT TAKES ME BACK.
I NEVER THOUGHT MY HEART COULD BE SO YEARNING,
WHY DID I DECIDE TO ROAM?
GOT TO TAKE THIS SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY,
SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY HOME.
SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY HOME, LET'S GO NOW,.
SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY HOME,
SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY HOME,
SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY HOME,
SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY HOME.
MAYBE I'D BETTER GO BY PLANE!

-"AMBER..."
-"MM..."
-"WHY DID I DREAM ABOUT YOU LAST NIGHT?"
-"DID YOU?"
-" I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE YOU WERE REALLY HERE, WERE YOU?"
-"HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN? WE HAVEN'T EVEN MET.
OR PERHAPS THIS IS ALL A DREAM.
By Roger Brown
I SIT AND WATCH WHILE OTHERS SING AND DANCE,
BUT I KNOW SOME DAY I WILL HAVE MY CHANCE.
I'M DOWN TODAY, IT'S TRUE,
MY CHANCES HAVE BEEN FEW,
BUT I'M NOT DISCOURAGED 'CAUSE I KNOW WHAT I CAN DO.
I MAY BE A TINY MOUSE AND IN A CAGE,
BUT I KNOW I BELONG UPON THE STAGE.
AND SOME DAY I WILL BE
A PERSONALITY
AND THEN THE ONE I'M WATCHING ON THE TV WILL BE ME.
NOW PEOPLE TEND TO TREAT A MOUSE
WITH SIMPLE CONVERSATIONS,
BUT I AM LIKE NO MOUSE YOU'VE EVER SEEN.
SO IF YOU THINK OF ME THAT WAY,
THEN MAYBE I SHOULD MENTION,
I'M SCOUSE THE MOUSE AND I HAVE GOT A DREAM.
OOH!
SO LOOK OUT, WORLD, 'CAUSE HERE I COME,
IF YOU WANT SOMEONE SPECIAL, I'M THE ONE.
ALTHOUGH I MAY BE SMALL,
IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME AT ALL,
'CAUSE I KNOW IN MY HEART THAT SOME DAY I'LL BE TEN FEET TALL.
DIALOG:
NOBODY HEARD THIS MOUSE SINGING IN THE NIGHT AS HE DREAMED OF THE FAMOUS LIFE ON THE TELEVISION.
CHRISTMAS CAME.
ON CHRISTMAS MORNING THE BOY RAN IN, CHEWING A MINTS PIE.
"HERE YOU ARE, MISTER SCOUSE, IT'S A CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR YOU." IT WAS A TINY ROPE LADDER.
"SEE IF YOU CAN RUN UP THAT!" THE BOY TURNED HIS BACK. THE BOY HAD LEFT THE DOOR OPEN!
SCOUSE SEES THE ROPE LADDER AND SWUNG LIKE TARZAN OUT INTO SPACE.
"HEY! COME BACK!"
THERE WAS A TINY HOLE IN THE WALL, SCOUSE DISAPPEARED. THROUGH THE MOUSEHOLE HE COULD SEE HIS BELOVED TELLY. HE FELT SOMETHING, LOOKED, A BROWN MOUSE WAS STARING AT HIM.
"HELLO, WHITIE!" SAID THE BROWN MOUSE. IN ANIMO, OF COURSE.
"WHAT? WHO'S THAT? WHO ARE YOU?"
"I'M A MOUSE. I LIVE HERE. I WAS WATCHING YOU DOING ALL THOSE FUNNY NOISES."
"THAT'S SPEAKING! THAT'S ENGLISH! I LEARNT IT FROM THE TELLY. I COULD TEACH YOU ENGLISH. OH, SORRY, I FORGOT, I LEAVE TONIGHT."
"WHERE YOU GOING?"
"INTO THE WORLD! THE WORLD NEEDS ME! WHY DON'T YOU JOIN ME, WE COULD BE A GROUP?"
"I'LL THINK ABOUT IT."
"WHAT'S YOUR NAME?"
"BONCE, BECAUSE I'VE GOT A BIG HEAD. MY FATHER CALLED ME THAT. HE WAS A LONDON MOUSE."
ALL THAT DAY, SCOUSE AND BONCE WATCHED THROUGH THEIR PEEPHOLE , PEOPLE LAUGHED AND CHILDREN PLAYED. THE SMELL OF THE CHRISTMAS DINNER. THE MICE WERE VERY HUNGRY.
THE JOLLIES WERE ON THE TELEVISION, BONCE AND SCOUSE WATCHED.
By Roger Brown
I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I'LL LAST,
BUT I'VE GOTTA GET MOVIN' AND MOVIN' FAST.
I GOTTA BREAK THROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE,
I'VE GOT TO RUN, I'VE GOT TO FLY.
FREE, FREE, RUNNING FREE,
THAT'S THE WAY I WAS MEANT TO BE.
FREE, FREE, RUNNING FREE,
FREEDOM LOOKS PRETTY GOOD TO ME.
NOW I'M IN A HURRY AND I CAN'T STAND STILL,
IF I DON'T GO NOW, YOU KNOW, I NEVER WILL.
I WANNA BE FOOT LOOSE AND FREE TO ROAM,
I WANNA CALL THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD MY HOME.
FREE, FREE, RUNNING FREE,
THAT'S THE WAY I WAS MEANT TO BE.
FREE, FREE, RUNNING FREE,
FREEDOM LOOKS PRETTY GOOD TO ME.
LIVING IN A CAGE NEVER REALLY WAS MY STYLE.
NOW I'VE GOT THE CHANCE, I'M A-RUNNIN' EVERY MILE.
(Meow - meow - meow - meow - meow)
(Meow - meow - meow - meow)
I'VE GOT A PLAN, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THE DAY
WHEN I CAN GET THE CHANCE TO MAKE MY GET AWAY.
ALL I EVER NEEDED WAS AN OPEN DOOR,
AND NOW I'M GONNA BE AWAY AND THAT'S FOR SURE.
FREE, FREE, RUNNING FREE,

FREE, FREE, RUNNING FREE,
FREEDOM LOOKS PRETTY GOOD TO ME.
FREE, FREE, RUNNING FREE,
THAT'S THE WAY I WAS MEANT TO BE.
FREE, FREE, RUNNING FREE,
FREEDOM LOOKS PRETTY GOOD TO ME.
DIALOG:
RUN, RUN, RUN DOWN THE ROAD. WHERE ARE YOU GOING, MOUSE, IN THE COLD, IN THE FREEZING SNOW? ANYWHERE TO BE AWAY FROM THE CAGE, ANYWHERE THAT WILL TAKE ME TO LIFE, TO ADVENTURE. WHAT'S THAT IN FRONT OF YOU? A SHIP!
"A SHIP! LOOK AT... LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE! WHAT'S THAT WRITING ON THE SIDE?
THE QUEEN EL... THE Q.E.2!"
SCOUSE THE MOUSE LEAPT ONTO THE SHIP. SAILORS WERE PULLING IN THE GANG-PLANK.
"NEXT STOP, NEW YORK!"
"AMERICA! A MOUSE'S DREAM!"
SCOUSE SEEMED TO HEAR THE VOICE OF HIS NEW COCKNEY MOUSE FRIEND, BONCE, SINGING TO HIM, IN ANIMO.

TELL ME, IS SHE EV'RYTHING I SEE
OR IS SHE REALLY NOT THE ONE FOR ME?
WE KNOW, AND THOUGH SOME MAY DISAGREE,
BUT DO THEY KNOW THE WAY WE WANT TO BE?
AND DO I STILL BELIEVE IN STORIES I'VE BEEN TOLD?
ARE ALL THE THINGS SHE BRINGS ME WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD?
OH YEAH, (oh yeah) PURE GOLD,
OH YEAH, (oh yeah) PURE GOLD.
BUILDING SOMETHING, ONE THING MADE TO LAST,
AND HOLDING SOMETHING SPECIAL FROM THE PAST.
AND DO I STILL BELIEVE IN STORIES WE'VE BEEN TOLD?

OH YEAH, (oh yeah) PURE GOLD, (gotta believe me)
OH YEAH, (oh yeah) PURE GOLD.

PRIVATE PROPERTY,
DON'T RUN OFF WITH IT,
YOU'LL BE BREAKING THE LAW.
LOVE MONOPOLY,
MY PHILOSOPHY,
DON'T GO FOOLING WITH PRIVATE PROPERTY.
'CAUSE SHE'S MINE, SHE BELONGS TO ME,
AND WE'LL GET ON FINE AS LONG AS YOU AGREE
THAT SHE'S MINE PRIVATE PROPERTY,
PRIVATE PROPERTY.
PRIVATE PROPERTY,
DON'T RUN AFTER IT,
YOU'LL BE FACING A CHARGE.
HAVE SOME COMMON SENSE,
YOU GET OFF THE FENCE,
DON'T GO FOOLING WITH PRIVATE PROPERTY.
IT'S KNOWN WHEN WE'RE IN A CROWD,
THAT THERE'S GONNA BE NO TRESPASSING ALLOWED.
'CAUSE SHE'S MINE PRIVATE PROPERTY,
PRIVATE PROPERTY.
HOW CAN I DISAGREE?
SHE INSISTS THAT IT'S ALL FOR ME.

A lady that I know just came from Columbia
She smiled because I did not understand
Then she held out some marijuani ha-ha
She said it was the best in all the land
And I said:
No no no no, I don't smoke it no more
I'm tired of waking up on the floor
No, thank you, please,
It only makes me sneeze
And then it makes it hard to find the door
A woman that I know just came from Majorca Spain
She smiled because I did not understand
Then she held out a 10 pound bag of Cocaine
She said it was the best in all the land
And I said:
No no no no, I don't sniff it no more
I'm tired of waking up on the floor
No, thank you, please,
It only makes me sneeze
And then it makes it hard to find the door
A man I know just came from Nashville Tennessee oh
He smiled because I did not understand
Then he held out some moonshine whiskey oh-ho
He said it was the best in all the land
And I said:
No no no no, I don't drink it no more
I'm tired of wakin' up on the floor
No, thank you, please,
It only makes me sneeze
And then it makes it hard to find the door

NIGHT AND DAY, YOU ARE THE ONE,
ONLY YOU BENEATH THE MOON AND UNDER THE SUN.
WHETHER NEAR TO ME OR FAR,
IT'S NO MATTER, DARLING, WHERE YOU ARE, I THINK OF YOU,
NIGHT AND DAY.
DAY AND NIGHT, WHY IS IT SO,
THAT THIS LONGING FOR YOU FOLLOWS WHEREVER I GO?
IN THE ROARING TRAFFIC'S BOOM,
IN THE SILENCE OF MY LONELY ROOM, I THINK OF YOU,
NIGHT AND DAY.
NIGHT AND DAY, UNDER THE HIDE OF ME,
THERE'S, OH, SUCH A HUNGRY YEARNING
BURNING INSIDE OF ME.
AND ITS TORMENT WON'T BE THROUGH
TILL YOU LET ME SPEND MY LIFE MAKING LOVE TO YOU,
DAY AND NIGHT, NIGHT AND DAY.
AND ITS TORMENT WON'T BE THROUGH
TILL YOU LET ME SPEND MY LIFE MAKING LOVE TO YOU,
DAY AND NIGHT, NIGHT AND DAY.
DAY AND NIGHT, NIGHT AND DAY.
What could I do when I didn't know
when I was young I was younger
give me an answer, its yes or no
how can we wait, any longer.
So baby, don't forget this
what comes around will go
maybe you'll regret this
well, maybe never knows.
Love first, ask questions later
moments pass, they won't wait for the waiter
no one's ever found the power that is greatest
so love first, ask questions later.
Nothing but joy in the tears we cry
nothing but light in around us
trust in each other as years go by
no that forever has bound us.
It ain't so complicated
its easy after all
it can't be overstated
the writing's on the wall.
Love first, ask questions later ...
From all the masters through all time
there's just one truth we have to find
my love is yours, your love is mine.
Baby, don't forget this
what comes around will go
I promise you won't regret this
tomorrow never knows.
Love first, ask questions later ...
A cat has nine lives
But man you don't live twice
You can play for a price
WITH YOUR GRANDADDY'S dice
If you wanna be the king
You gotta go to Memphis in your mind
It's a bad point of view
If THAT GLOOM got through to you
Well I kissed Peggy Sue
And you could have TOO
Ain't that a shame
You never went to Memphis in your mind
There's no place cooler
When you got your Bop-A-Lula on
Slip into your blue suede shoes
We're dancing' till the break of dawn
Sun records will be playing
You'll know every word they're sayings true
Heartbreak Hotel is taking reservations
There's a room for you
You can go to any town
Get up but not get down
If you wanna hear that rockin' sound
You go to Memphis in your mind
You can have two left feet
And you can still keep the beat
If you're sixteen and sweet
Or you can't leave your seat
If you wanna be the king
You gotta go to Memphis in your mind
We CAN'T all be king
SO GO TO MEMPHIS IN YOUR MIND
(Lennon/McCartney)
Love, love me do
You know I love you
I'll always be true
So please
Love me do
Love me do
Love, love me do
You know I love you
I'll always be true
So please
Love me do
Love me do
Someone to love
Somebody new
Someone to love
Someone like you
Love, love me do
You know I love you
I'll always be true
So please
Love me do

THERE'S A HONKY TONK IN THIS TOWN,
THEY CALL THE LOSER'S LOUNGE,
AND I GUESS I'M A CHARTER MEMBER, YOU COULD SAY.
SINCE LOVE HAS TURNED ME DOWN,
NOTHING TO DO BUT HANG AROUND
AND LISTEN TO ALL THE FOOLS WHO COME TO SAY.
THAT LIFE IS FULL OF HEARTACHES FOR A POOR BOY,
'CAUSE A BANK ROLL CAN TURN HIS WOMAN'S HEAD AROUND.
AIN'T NO USE TO TRY AND RUN AWAY OR MOVE TO ANOTHER TOWN,
'CAUSE ANY WHERE A POOR BOY GOES THERE'S A LOSER'S LOUNGE.
HAD A REAL GOOD FRIEND NAMED SAM,
SAID HE JUST COULDN'T UNDERSTAND
WHY IN THE WORLD HIS SWEET LOVE LET HIM DOWN.
BUT A RICH MAN CAUGHT HER EYE,
HE HAD THE MONEY FOR THINGS TO BUY.
NOW THERE'S A BRAND NEW MEMBER
DOWN AT THE LOSER'S LOUNGE.
LIFE IS FULL OF HEARTACHES FOR A POOR BOY,
'CAUSE A BANK ROLL CAN TURN HIS WOMAN'S HEAD AROUND.
AIN'T NO USE TO TRY AND RUN AWAY OR MOVE TO ANOTHER TOWN,
'CAUSE ANY WHERE A POOR BOY GOES THERE'S A LOSER'S LOUNGE.
OH YEAH.

I GOT UP TODAY AND I TOOK A LOOK AROUND,
I WAS LIVING IN A PET SHOP.
LIVING THIS LIFE IS REALLY GETTING ME DOWN,
LIVING IN A PET SHOP.
ALL OF THIS NOISE AND ALL OF THIS CLATTER,
ALL DAY LONG WE JUST CHAT, CHAT, CHATTER.
OH, WHAT A LIFE, WILL IT EVER STOP?
LIVING IN A PET SHOP.
Aum -
I'VE BEEN HERE, IT'S ALL I EVER HAVE KNOWN,
LIVING IN A PET SHOP.
ALL I EVER WANTED WAS A HOME OF MY OWN
BUT I'M LIVING IN A PET SHOP.
YOU MIGHT SAY WE'RE A LITTLE OVERCROWDED, (meow-)
CHOCK-A-BLOC BUNNIES, THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
OH, WHAT A LIFE, WILL IT EVER STOP?
LIVING IN A PET SHOP.
COME ON, PEOPLE, WON'T SOMEBODY TRY ME?
I'M A NICE FELLOW, WON'T SOMEBODY BUY ME?
Aum -
Aum - (animal scat sing)
I GOT UP TODAY AND I TOOK A LOOK AROUND,
I WAS LIVING IN A PET SHOP.
LIVING THIS LIFE IS REALLY GETTING ME DOWN,
LIVING IN A PET SHOP.
(Meow -)
IF I STAY HERE MY HEART IS GONNA BREAK ME, (meow -)
IF YOU'RE GOING MY WAY, WON'T YOU, PLEASE, TAKE ME?
OH, WHAT A LIFE, WILL IT EVER STOP?
LIVING IN A PET SHOP,
LIVING IN A PET SHOP.
(Oh, what a life will it ever stop - aum-meow-)

DIALOG:
"I SHALL BE BOUGHT BY SOMEONE RICH AND FAMOUS. I SHALL LIVE IN A GOLDEN CAGE IN A GREAT HOUSE." SAID THE WITH MOUSE TO A BUDGERIGAR. THEY WERE SITTING IN A WINDOW OF A PET SHOP IN LIVERPOOL. THEY SPOKE A LANGUAGE CALLED ANIMO WHICH NO HUMAN BEING CAN UNDERSTAND. ALL THE DOGS AND CATS, BIRDS AND FISH SPOKE ANIMO.
A LITTLE BOY CAME INTO THE SHOP.
"I'M LOOKING FOR A MOUSE." THE BOY BOUGHT THE MOUSE.
THE MOUSE OPENED HIS EYES IN A HOUSE IN LIVERPOOL. HE WAS IN A CAGE. PEOPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT HIM, HE COULDN'T' UNDERSTAND THEM. AT THIS TIME HE COULD SPEAK ONLY ANIMO.
"I MUST LEARN THIS LANGUAGE," THOUGHT THE MOUSE, "IF I'M TO GET ANYWHERE AT ALL."
"HEY, YOU LOT! COME AND GET YOUR SCOUSE!" SHOUTED MOTHER. SCOUSE IS A KIND OF STEW MADE IN LIVERPOOL. "HERE YOU ARE, MOUSE, HAVE A BIT OF SCOUSE, YOU'RE A LIVERPOOL MOUSE SO YOU SHOULD EAT SCOUSE. HEY! THAT'S WHAT I'LL CALL HIM, SCOUSE THE MOUSE!"
THE FATHER SWITCHED ON THE TELEVISION.
"TERRIFIC!"
SCOUSE THE MOUSE HAD DISCOVERED TELEVISION. HE WATCHED EVERYTHING. HE WATCHED THE ROCK GROUPS. SCOUSE'S FAVORITE GROUP WAS CALLED THE JOLLIES. THEY WERE A MUSICAL FAMILY.
By J. Keirn Brennan and Ernest R. Ball
WITH SOMEONE LIKE YOU,
A PAL SO GOOD AND TRUE,
I'D LIKE TO LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND AND GO AND FIND
SOME PLACE THAT'S KNOWN TO GOD ALONE,
JUST A SPOT TO CALL OUR OWN.
WE'LL FIND PERFECT PEACE
WHERE JOYS NEVER CEASE
OUT THERE BENEATH THE KINDLY SKY.
WE'LL BUILD A SWEET LITTLE NEST,
SOMEWHERE IN THE WEST
AND LET THE REST OF THE WORLD GO BY.
(with someone like you,
A pal so good and true,
I'd like to leave it all behind and go and find)
SOME PLACE THAT'S KNOWN TO GOD ALONE,
JUST A SPOT TO CALL OUR OWN.
WE'LL FIND PERFECT PEACE
WHERE JOYS NEVER CEASE
OUT THERE BENEATH THE KINDLY SKY.
WE'LL BUILD A SWEET LITTLE NEST,
SOMEWHERE IN THE WEST
AND LET THE REST OF THE WORLD GO BY.
AND LET THE REST OF THE WORLD GO BY.
A happy man I did encounted
said to thyself be true
one and one is only one
until you become one with you
everywhere you look is lovely
if love is what you choose to see
nothing's hard as you can make it.
It's as easy as one, two, three
here's my philosophy.
And he said:
to be or not to be
I don't care
the question is
are you alive out there
it don't take brains
just heart and soul
I think, therefore I rock'n'roll.
I met the amazing woman
she means all the world to me
in her eyes I saw our futur
she opened my mind to see
she's my serenety.
And she said:
to be or not to be ...
Somewhere, sometime
just look inside
you are the life-line
somewhow, time flies
it feels so good
to cry baby cry.
It's as easy as one, two, three
that's my philosophy.
And I said:
to be or not to be ...
(Starkey/Hudson/Grakal/Dudas)
Can you guess what I'm thinking of
Where's someone that I can love
I just don't know where to start
I'm the king of broken hearts
I was waiting for the bells to ring
My love for her keeps lingering
Praying that she'd wear my ring
Waiting for the crowd to sing
(Chorus)
I'm the king of broken hearts
I've lost before I ever start to love again
I'm the king of broken hearts
I'd give it all away to find a friend again
Again
Where's the dream I had before
She just walked right out the door
I want her back and nothing more
Her note fell on the bedroom floor
(to Chorus)
A heart's no good when it's been broken
Words of love are often spoken
My tears fall like jewels from a crown
Look how fast the tide can turn
Some people live but never learn
I can make a brand new start
Living in a world of broken hearts

DOESN'T MAKE A DIFF'RENCE,
DON'T CARE HOW FAR.
WE CAN GO THE DISTANCE IN MY CAR.
DON'T BOTHER WITH DIRECTIONS,
DOESN'T MATTER WHERE WE ARE.
CRUISIN' DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN MY CAR.
HEY!
IN MY CAR.
I DON'T NEED NO BACK SEAT DRIVERS,
SO I LEAVE THEM ALL BEHIND.
AND PROBLEMS, THEY CAN'T FIND ME IN MY CAR.
IN MY CAR.
HEY!
IN MY CAR.
(In my car)
(In my car)
(In my car)
(My car)
When the curtains move
in breezes unexpected
don't you worry
you well always be protected.
Imagine me there
when you see the dancing shadows
in the moonlight
you will alaways have my love
to make it alright.
Imagine me there
let the dawn break
without heartache
all our lives
imagine
never lonely
dream and I'll be
by your side
imagine
trust in love and love is everywhere
imagine me there.
When the next room
feels as far away as China
you can always know, for sure
my love will find you.
Imagine me there ...
Sometimes life can be
a fragile occupation
when I think myself in frantic situations
I imagine you there
so imagine me there
imagine me there.
(Starkey/Hudson/Nevin)
Daylight is falling
Nighttime is calling
All the lights of Londontown
Slowly disappear
So lay your lovely head on down
And know that I am here
I'm Yours
I'm Yours
Moonbeams shine on
Starlight lights on
All the dreams of everyone
Will meet up in the sky
So sleep and dream
Of shooting stars
And take one for a ride
I'm Yours
I'm Yours
Barbara, I love you
I want you, I need you
Your heart's so big
Your soul's so deep
Your forgiving love so strong
So let me say in my own way
You're everything I am
I am yours
When I was a little boy
Way back home in Liverpool,
My mama told me . . . I was great
Then when I was a teenager,
I knew that I had got something going,
All my friends told me . . . I was great
And now I'm a man
A woman took me by the hand
And you know what she told me . . . I was great
I was in the greatest show on earth,
For what it was worth,
Now I'm only thirty-two,
And all I wanna do, is boogaloo.
I looked in the mirror,
I saw my wife and kids,
And you know what they told me . . . I was great.
Yes, my name is Billy Shears,
You know it has been for so many years,
Now I'm only thirty-two;
And all I wanna do, is boogaloo.
By Ted Daffan
I'M A FOOL TO CARE,
WHEN YOU TREAT ME THIS WAY.
I KNOW I LOVE YOU,
BUT WHAT CAN I DO?
I'M A FOOL TO CARE.
I'M A FOOL TO CRY,
WHEN YOU TELL ME GOODBYE.
YOU LEFT ME SO BLUE,
WHEN YOU WERE UNTRUE,
I'M A FOOL TO CARE.
I KNOW I SHOULD LAUGH
AND CALL IT A DAY.
BUT I KNOW I WOULD CRY
IF YOU WENT AWAY.
I'M A FOOL TO CARE,
WHEN YOU DON'T CARE FOR ME.
SO WHY SHOULD I PRETEND,
I LOSE IN THE END,
I'M A FOOL TO CARE.
BRRR!
I'M A FOOL TO CARE,
WHEN YOU TREAT ME THIS WAY.
I KNOW I LOVE YOU,
BUT WHAT CAN I DO?
I'M A FOOL TO CARE.

WHEN EV'RY SONG IS SUNG,
WHEN EV'RY BELL'S BEEN RUNG,
WHEN EV'RY PICTURE'S HUNG,
I'LL STILL LOVE YOU.
WHEN EV'RY WIND HAS BLOWN,
WHEN EV'RY SEED IS SOWN,
WHEN EV'RYTHING IS KNOWN,
THEN I'LL STILL LOVE YOU.
YOU KNOW THAT I'LL LOVE YOU,
YES, I WILL.
YOU KNOW I'LL LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU,
ALWAYS WILL, UNTIL
WHEN EV'RY SOUL IS FREE,
WHEN EV'RY EYE CAN SEE,
WHEN PEOPLE ALL AGREE,
THEN I'LL STILL LOVE YOU.
YOU KNOW I'LL LOVE YOU,
YES, I DO.
WHEN TIMES GETS SO HARD, YOU KNOW,
I'LL BE THERE LOVING YOU.
YOU KNOW I'LL LOVE YOU,
YES, I WILL.
YES I'M GONNA HOLD YOU, NEED YOU, LOVE YOU,
ALWAYS WILL, LOVE YOU STILL.
WHEN EV'RY NOTE'S BEEN SUNG,
WHEN EV'RY BELL'S BEEN RUNG,
WHEN EV'RY PICTURE'S HUNG,
I'LL STILL LOVE YOU.
I REALLY LOVE YOU.

I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE,
I'M NOT AFRAID TO SAY WHAT I MEAN,
MEAN WHAT I SAY.
I SET MYSELF UP, LET MYSELF DOWN,
I MAY BE A FOOL TO SPREAD IT AROUND.
BUT I JUST WANNA LET YOU KNOW,
SOMETIMES I FIND IT SO HARD NOT TO SHOW,
SO I SIGH AND I LET MY FEELINGS GO.
I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE,
DON'T COUNT THE COST,
IF I CAN'T LIVE IN LOVE THEN SURELY I'VE LOST.
YOU TEND TO GET BURNED, TEND TO GET BRUISED,
BUT IT'S MY LIFE WHATEVER I CHOOSE.
OH, I JUST WANNA LET YOU KNOW,
SOMETIMES I, I FIND IT SO HARD NOT TO SHOW,
SO I SIGH AND I LET MY FEELINGS GO.
I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE,
I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE.
YOU TEND TO GET BURNED, TEND TO GET BRUISED,
BUT IT'S MY LIFE WHATEVER I CHOOSE.
OH, I JUST WANNA LET YOU KNOW,
'CAUSE SOMETIMES I FIND IT SO HARD NOT TO SHOW,
SO I SIGH, BUT, BABY, YOU'RE NOT ALONE.
YOU WEAR YOUR HEART ON YOUR SLEEVE, (just like me)
YOU WEAR YOUR HEART ON YOUR SLEEVE.
I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE,
I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE.
I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE, (ah - ah)
I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE,
I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE, (ah - ah)
MM, MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE,
BABY, YOU KNOW, I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE, (ah - ah)
OH, MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE.
YOU WEAR YOUR HEART ON YOUR SLEEVE, (ah - ah)
I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE.

IF I TALKED ABOUT THE GOOD TIMES,
THERE WOULDN'T BE MUCH TO SAY,
FOR SELDOM HAPPY MEM'RIES COME TO MIND.
IF I TALKED ABOUT THE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
YOU BROUGHT MY WAY,
I'D BE TALKING ALL THE TIME.
FOR EV'RY DREAM THAT CAME MY WAY,
A MILLION PASSED ME BY.
I THOUGHT I COULDN'T BE HURT MORE,
THEN YOU SAID GOODBYE.
IF TALKING NOW OF OTHER THINGS,
WOULD GET YOU OFF MY MIND,
I'D BE TALKING ALL THE TIME.
FOR EV'RY DREAM THAT CAME MY WAY,
A MILLION PASSED ME BY.
I THOUGHT I COULDN'T BE HURT MORE,
THEN YOU SAID GOODBYE.
IF TALKING NOW OF OTHER THINGS,
WOULD GET YOU OFF MY MIND,
I'D BE TALKING ALL THE TIME.
YEH, RINGO'D BE TALKING ALL THE TIME.

YOU'RE SO DIFF'RENT FROM ANYONE I'VE EVER KNOWN
AND TO TRY TO CHANGE YOU NOW, WOULD BE ALL WRONG.
SOMETIMES I DON'T UNDERSTAND EV'RYTHING YOU SAY,
BUT I WOULDN'T HAVE YOU ANY OTHER WAY.
I WOULDN'T WANT YOU IF YOU WEREN'T YOU,
AND I'LL ADMIT, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HALF THE THINGS YOU DO.
SOMETIMES I DON'T GO ALONG WITH THINGS YOU SAY AND DO,
BUT I WOULDN'T HAVE YOU ANY OTHER WAY.
I WOULDN'T WANT YOU IF YOU WEREN'T YOU,
AND I'LL ADMIT, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HALF THE THINGS YOU DO.
SOMETIMES I DON'T GO ALONG WITH THINGS YOU SAY AND DO,
BUT I WOULDN'T HAVE YOU ANY OTHER WAY.
SOMETIMES I DON'T GO ALONG WITH THINGS YOU SAY AND DO,

I keep forgettin' you don't love me no more
I keep forgettin' you don't want me no more
I keep forgettin' that you told me that you
Didn't want me around any more
But these stupid old feet
Just head for your street
Like they've done so many times before
And this stubborn old fist
On the end of my wrist
Starts knocking on your front door
I keep forgettin' you don't love me no more
I keep forgettin' you don't want me no more
I keep forgettin' about those heartbreaking nights
And those heartbreaking things that you said
Though I know in my heart
We've drifted apart,
Still I can't believe our love is dead
Though it's plain as can be
That you're finished with me
I just can't get it through my head
I keep forgettin' you don't love me no more
(You don't love me no more)
Don't love me no more
(Love me no more)
I keep forgettin' you don't love me no more
I keep forgettin' you don't love me no more
I keep forgettin' you don't want me no more
I keep forgettin' about those heartbreaking nights
And those heartbreaking things that you said
Though I know in my heart
We've drifted apart
Still I can't believe our love is dead
Though it's plain as can be
That you're finished with me
I just can't get it through my head
I keep forgettin' you don't love me no more
(No, you don't love me no more)
Don't love me no more
(Oh, you don't love me no more)
I keep forgettin' you don't love me no more
CHORUS: I don't believe you
'Cause I've been lied to
Girl you know you've done me wrong
I can see it in your face
I can't take much more of this
Gonna put you in your place
Tellin' lies won't get you far
I learned that in my youth
I'm givin' you just one more chance
And all I want from you is truth
CHORUS twice
Forget about your credit cards
And all your fancy clothes
Forget about those [sung -- "my"] rings and things
and the powder for your nose
It wouldn't take that much from you
To keep me satisfied
But you won't see my face no more
If you don't stop telling lies
CHORUS twice
I love you girl
That much is true
The truth is staring back at you
But you always break my heart in two
Oh why? Oh why?
I know you think what's wrong is right
You seem so happy when we fight
So I won't be coming home tonight
No lie, no lie
I've said all that there is to say
You better make up your mind
If you look into these lonely eyes
The truth is what you'll find
It wouldn't take that much from you
To keep me satisfied
But the next time that you do me wrong
I'll be kissing you good bye

TWO BROKEN HEARTS LONELY LOOKING LIKE
HOUSES WHERE NOBODY LIVES.
TWO PEOPLE EACH HAVING SO MUCH PRIDE INSIDE,

IN THE NUMBERS OF HUSBANDS AND WIVES.

HAVE I TOLD YOU LATELY THAT I LOVE YOU?

I'M NO GOOD WITHOUT YOU ANYHOW.
DEAR, HAVE I TOLD YOU LATELY THAT I LOVE YOU?
WELL, DARLING, I'M TELLING YOU NOW.

(Ok with gusto, boys, with gusto!)
I took my baby to a party last night, ah-hah-hah,
She was so beautiful she made me uptight, ah-hah-hah,
Up came a butcher with his ju jus alight, ah-hah-hah
It's all down to goodnight Vienna
Goodnight Vienna, hey, hey, hey
(Come on, boys, sing it to me!)
(Goodnight Vienna) Hey, hey, hey
(Oh, your so beautiful), (Goodnight Vienna)
(You know that I love you, don't you, boys?)
(Goodnight Vienna)
(And don't forget, folks,
The band will be back in fifteen minutes
Just a short break and they'll be back on stage
Ready to do it to you one more time!
That's it!)

NOBODY LOVED HER, IT WAS EASY TO SEE,
THAT MADE IT EASY FOR ME.
THE BOYS NEVER FOUGHT OVER HER COMPANY,
THAT MADE IT EASY FOR ME.
LOVE SO BRIGHT COULD ONLY BLIND US,
HOW COULD REASON HOPE TO FIND US,
HIDING IN THE MILKY WAY,
WITHOUT A STAR TO SHINE THE WAY?
SAND CASTLES FELL FROM THE TEARS IN OUR EYES,
THAT MADE IT EASIER TO SEE.
NOW THE DREAM'S OVER AND I REALISE,
THAT MAKES IT EASY FOR ME.

I BROUGHT HER HERE FROM ARKANSAS,
A SIMPLE COUNTRY GIRL,
TO TRY A CALIFORNIAN WAY OF LIFE.
BUT IT DIDN'T TAKE HER LONG TO LEARN
THE WAYS OF THE MODERN WORLD,
NOW SHE'S CALIFORNIA'S FASTEST MOVING WIFE.
SHE'S WORKING ON IT OVER TIME
AND SOON SHE'LL FINISH ME.
AND THE WORLD'S SADDEST MAN WILL LIVE HERE IN LOS ANGELES.
OF ALL THE THINGS SHE'S EVER DONE,
SHE'S MAKING THIS HER BEST,
I GOT THE FASTEST GROWING HEARTACHE IN THE WEST.
'TIL WE CAME HERE NO MAN HAD EVER
TOUCHED HER HEART BUT ME,
SHE'D NEVER TASTED ANY LIPS BUT MINE.
BUT I KNOW NOW, MAN HAVE SEEN
WHAT ONLY I SHOULD SEE
SINCE HER LIPS HAS TASTED CALIFORNIA WINE.
SHE'S WORKING ON IT OVER TIME
AND SOON SHE'LL FINISH ME.

Y'r feelin' blue
Y' do know that y' care but y'dunno what to do
If your mamma don't feel good
Or your daddy don't feel good
Take a dose of rock 'n' roll
And wash it down with cool clear soul
Y' better get y'r ripple soles out
Ease out all your mean controls
Take a dose of rock 'n' roll
And wash it down with cool clear soul
Turn on your radio
Start dancin' to the moon
The old heart radio is gonna
Get y', get y', get y', in the mood

I LEFT LOUISIAN, I HAD ME BIG PLANS
TO GO OUT AND TAKE ME ALL OVER THIS LAND.
TO SEE ME THE WORLD, I LEFT MY SWEET GIRL
AND GAVE IT A WHIRL BUT NOW HERE I STAND,
ALONG SIDE THE ROAD WITH HOLES IN MY SOUL AND MY SHOES
AND BEAUCOUPS OF BLUES.
OH, SWEET MAGNOLIA,
BREATH CARRIED OVER THE MARSH BY A BREEZE FROM THE GULF.
I'M COMING HOME, (coming home)
I'VE HAD ME ENOUGH.
OH, WHERE ARE THE THINGS I SAW IN MY DREAMS?
WHERE'S THE HAPPY THAT FREEDOM SHOULD BRING?
I SEE ME TODAY AND KNOW YESTERDAY
THAT I THREW AWAY MY MOST PRECIOUS THINGS.
I SEE ME A MAN WHO'S LONELY, WANTS ONLY TO LOSE
BEAUCOUPS OF BLUES.
OH, SWEET MAGNOLIA,
BREATH CARRIED OVER THE MARSH BY A BREEZE FROM THE GULF.

I WOKE UP FROM A BAD DREAM
TO THE HOWLING OF A LONELY NIGHT.
BUT THE WALLS COME CLOSING IN
LIKE THE VICTIM OF A ONE-WAY FIGHT.
I DON'T REMEMBER MANY YESTERDAYS,
I LEFT A LOT OF THINGS UNDONE,
NOW I'M BACK AND I'M HERE TO SAY
I'M LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE.
DON'T GO, DON'T GO WHERE THE ROAD DON'T GO,
DON'T GO, DON'T GO WHERE THE ROAD DON'T GO.
SEEING PEOPLE ON THE FREEWAY,
TAKES ME BACK TO WHERE I STARTED FROM.
I WAS RIDING ON THE BIG WHEEL,
I WAS WALKING IN A MIDNIGHT SUN.
WELL, I DID A LOT OF FAVOURS THEN,
I ASKED FOR NOTHING IN RETURN.
NOW THOSE FRIENDS HAVE ALL DISAPPEARED,
I GUESS THERE'S STILL SO MUCH TO LEARN.
DON'T GO, DON'T GO WHERE THE ROAD DON'T GO,
DON'T GO, DON'T GO WHERE THE ROAD DON'T GO.
DON'T GO, DON'T YOU GO WHERE THE ROAD DON'T GO.
'CAUSE YOU'LL NEVER RUN, YOU'LL NEVER OUTRUN THE GUN.
WELL, I SAID IT DON'T COME EASY.
WELL, I SURE KNOW HOW IT FEELS.
DON'T GO, DON'T GO WHERE THE ROAD DON'T GO,
DON'T GO, DON'T GO WHERE THE ROAD DON'T GO.
DON'T GO, DON'T GO WHERE THE ROAD DON'T GO,
DON'T GO, DON'T GO WHERE THE ROAD DON'T GO.
DON'T GO, DON'T YOU GO WHERE THE ROAD DON'T GO.
'CAUSE YOU'LL NEVER RUN, YOU'LL NEVER OUTRUN THE GUN.

I TRIED MY BEST TO GET THINGS OVER,
DID EV'RYTHING THAT I COULD DO.
I DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO HURT YOU,
BUT YOU MUST HAVE REALISED WE WERE THROUGH.
NOW DON'T IT MAKE YOU FEEL CRYIN',
WATCHING A GOOD LOVE SLOWLY DIE?
YOU AND ME COULD SPEND A LIFETIME TRYIN',
BUT WE'D BE BETTER OFF JUST TO SIMPLY SAY GOODBYE.
JUST LIKE TWO FOOLS WE COULDN'T MAKE IT,
THE MOVIE JUST WENT ON TOO LONG.
I'VE BEEN 'ROUND AND YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH IT,
BUT NOW I KNOW WE'RE GETTING STRONG.
NOW DON'T IT MAKE YOU FEEL CRYIN',
WATCHING A GOOD LOVE SLOWLY DIE?
YOU AND ME COULD SPEND A LIFETIME TRYIN',
BUT WE'D BE BETTER OFF JUST TO SIMPLY SAY GOODBYE.
IT'S TIME WE BURNED OUR OLD LOVE LETTERS
AND STARTED OUT ON A BRAND NEW LIFE.
NO ONE ELSE CAN COME BETWEEN US,
'CAUSE I'M NOT YOUR MAN, YOU'RE NOT MY WIFE.
STILL IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE CRYIN',
WATCHING A GOOD LOVE SLOWLY DIE?
YOU AND ME COULD SPEND A LIFETIME TRYIN',
BUT WE'D BE BETTER OFF JUST TO SIMPLY SAY GOODBYE.
STILL IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE CRYIN',

IT'S CHRISTMAS AND YOU'RE NOT HERE,
THE SNOW IS FALLING DOWN, LIKE MY TEARS.
I SEE YOUR PRESENTS BY THE TREE,
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE NOT WITH ME
ON CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS EVE.
IT'S CHRISTMAS WITH STARS ABOVE,
HOW MANY TIMES HAS IT BEEN SAID A TIME FOR LOVE?
AND UNDERNEATH THE MISTLETOE
I'M STANDING HERE ALL ALONE
ON CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS EVE.
I HEAR YOUR VOICE
I SEE YOUR SMILE
YOU WERE MY CHRISTMAS SONG.
BUT NOW YOU'RE GONE, NOW YOU'RE GONE.
IT'S CHRISTMAS, IT SEEMS SO LONG,
THE LIGHTS ARE ALL AROUND THE TREE BUT NOT TURNED ON.
I SAW YOUR FOOTPRINTS IN THE SNOW
I'D NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D REALLY GO
ON CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS EVE.
IT'S CHRISTMAS.
IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE.

I WAS SITTING AT THE BAR, TALKING TO A LADY FRIEND,
SIPPING ON A GLASS OF WINE AND MAKING TIME, - YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
THEN MY FAVOURITE RECORD PLAYED AND I TURNED TO WATCH THE CROWD,
BUT ONE DANCIN' LADY MADE ME SPILL MY WINE.
SHE LOOKED SO WILD AND SHE LOOKED SO FREE AND SHE MOVED SO TEMPTINGLY,
ALL THE BOYS HAD JUST ONE QUESTION ON THEIR MINDS;
CAN SHE DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES?
CAN SHE DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES?
OH, THE WAY SHE MOVE, I'D LIKE TO RENDEZVOUS HER,
FIND IF SHE CAN REALLY DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES.
(Oo, oo, oo)
AS SHE MOVED AROUND THE FLOOR I KEPT MOVIN' 'ROUND THE BAR,
ALMOST GOT INTO A FIGHT TO KEEP HER IN SIGHT.
WHEN THE DANCE WAS FINALLY THROUGH, FOUND MYSELF EXHAUSTED TOO,
AND I KNEW THAT I'D BE WONDERING ALL NIGHT:
CAN SHE DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES?
CAN SHE DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES?
OH, THE WAY SHE MOVE, I'D LIKE TO RENDEZVOUS,
AND FIND IF SHE CAN REALLY DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES.
SOME GIRLS GET OFF BY PUTTING ON A SHOW,
BUT WHEN YOU GET THEM HOME THE SHOW IS OVER.
WELL, ON THE DANCE FLOOR THERE'S NO MOVE THEY DON'T KNOW,
BUT YOU GET HER ALONE AND HER BODY TURNS TO STONE.
SO I FINISHED UP MY DRINK AND WAS HEADING FOR THE DOOR,
WHEN I SW THAT LADY GIVING ME THE EYE.
WELL, WE DANCED THE NIGHT AWAY AND I'M SEEING HER TODAY
AND I HOPE THAT I WILL FIND OUT BY ON BY:
CAN SHE DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES?
I SAID, CAN SHE DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES?
(Can she do it like she dances?)
OH, THE WAY SHE MOVE, I'D LIKE TO RENDEZVOUS,
AND FIND IF SHE CAN REALLY DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES.
CAN SHE DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES?
I WANNA KNOW IF SHE CAN DO IT,
I WANNA KNOW IF SHE CAN DO IT,
I WANNA KNOW IF SHE CAN DO IT JUST LIKE SHE DANCES.

"TURN THE TAPE OFF JUST FOR ME!"
By Roger Brown
THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A BOAT RIDE,
THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A BOAT RIDE,
THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A FLOAT ON A BOAT RIDE.
"HA! HA! HA! HA! THIS IS PREPOSTEROUS! WHERE'S MY FLUTE?"
WIND IS BLOWING ON THE WATER SO BLUE,
THE SEAGULLS ARE CALLING AND THE SUN SHINES THROUGH.
THERE IS NOTHING I WOULD RATHER DO
THAN TO GO ON A BOAT RIDE.
I WANT TO SAIL AWAY TO FAR AWAY LANDS
WHERE THE SUN SHINES DOWN ON GOLDEN SANDS.
OH MY, BUT ISN'T IT GRAND TO GO ON A BOAT RIDE?
THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A BOAT RIDE,
THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A BOAT RIDE,
THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A FLOAT ON A BOAT RIDE.
OH, I HOPE FOR A LIFE ON THE OCEAN WAVES,
EVEN IF I HAVE TO STOLE AWAY.
I KNOW WHAT I WILL DO TODAY,
I WILL GO ON A BOAT RIDE. (toot! toot!)
THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A BOAT RIDE,
(Nothing like a boat ride)
THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A BOAT RIDE,
(Nothing like a boat ride)
THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A FLOAT ON A BOAT RIDE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY, I SEE IT IN YOUR FACE.
WHEN TEARS FALL
THEY LEAVE A TRACE.
I TOLD MYSELF IT WON'T BE LONG,
IT'S TOO BAD
TO LOSE WHAT WE HAD.
I THOUGHT ALL LOVE SONGS WOULD GO ON AND ON.
PEOPLE TALK, YES, I THINK THEY KNOW.
I GUESS THAT IT MUST SHOW
WE'VE GONE AS FAR AS WE CAN GO.
THEY WALK BY AND THEY WHISPER LOW,
THE RUMOURS HAD TO FLOW.
WE'VE GONE AS FAR AS WE CAN GO.
I THOUGHT ALL LOVE SONGS WOULD GO ON AND ON.
PEOPLE TALK, YES, I THINK THEY KNOW.
I GUESS THAT IT MUST SHOW
WE'VE GONE AS FAR AS WE CAN GO.

I LOOKED OUT MY WINDOW
AND WATCHED ALL THE PEOPLE GO BY.
I WONDER WHAT HAPPENS
AND WHO'S TAKING WHO FOR A RIDE.
(Don't you know that I'm bound?)
I'M BOUND TO PICK UP THE PIECES AND WATCH THEM LAND. (watch them land)
I'M STANDING ALL BY MYSELF,
AIN'T GOT NOBODY ELSE,
ALL BY MYSELF,
I DON'T NEED NOBODY.
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I WORK OUT MY PROBLEMS,
I'M STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN.
I JUST STARTED SMILING,
I'M MAKING MYSELF SOME NEW FRIENDS.
(Don't you know I've got?)
I'VE GOT A BRAND NEW FEELING I JUST CAN'T HIDE. (just can't hide)
I'M STANDING ALL BY MYSELF,
AIN'T GOT NOBODY ELSE, (to turn to)
ALL BY MYSELF,
I DON'T NEED NOBODY.
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh -, ooh -, ooh -)
WAY BACK IN MY MEM'RY,
I CAN SEE WHERE I'VE WASTED MY TIME.
YOU CAME AND TOOK WHAT YOU WANTED
AND THEN TRIED TO TAKE WHAT WAS MINE.
(Well, don't you know I'm tired)
I'M TIRED OF FINDING MYSELF UP AGAINST THE WALL, IT'S SO TALL.
I'M STANDING ALL BY MYSELF,
AIN'T GOT NOBODY ELSE, (to turn to)
ALL BY MYSELF,
I AIN'T GOT NOBODY.
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Step lightly
You’re movin’ too fast
Take your time boy
Soon the pain will pass
In the meantime
You gotta find yourself
A love that’s going to last
Step lightly
Things will work out just fine
Nice and easy
All it takes is time
Please believe me
I wish this song was yours instead of mine
Now don’t be angry at what I’m telling you
I’d be happy if you’d sing it too
But in the meantime
Find yourself a love that’s true to you
But in the meantime
Find yourself a love that’s going to last
Now I told you
If things don’t work out fast
Gotta go now
Let’s forget the past
But in the meantime
You got to find yourself a love that’s going to last
You got to find yourself a love that’s going to last
You got to find yourself a love that’s going to last
You got to find a love that’s going to last
If I had the wings of an eagle
Over these broken dreams I will fly
If I could be shot like an arrow
Straight to you, in your arms I would lie
Don't you know I love you?
Don't you know I love you so?
If I had the strength of a lion
There'd be no one to keep us apart
If I was to crack just like thunder
I would shout what I feel in my heart
Don't you know I love you?
Don't you know I need you so?
Need you so much
The melody's coming in clear, so clear
And with your touch the music keeps going around
And around in my ears, alright
Don't you know I love you?
Don't you know I need you so?
If I had to live life without you
I'd be lost like a ship in the night
Your love never gave me no warning
Like a bird I was shot down in flight
Don't you know I love you?
Don't you know I love you so?
Don't you know I love you?
Don't you know I need you so? Need you so
Don't you know I love you?
Don't you know I love you so?
Don't you know I love you?
Don't you know I need you so? Need you so
Don't you know I love you?
Don't you know I love you so?
No man is an island who has been in love
Bringing understanding every push and shove
Just as fundamental as the stars above
It is benifiting every hand in glove
And you tell me it's a cold day in hell when you surrender
For love and a chance to remember
What we have to hold is more silver and gold
When I walk with you
When I talk with you
Everything will be fine
When I walk with you
When I talk with you
Everything will be fine
Will be fine
It's coincidental we have met before
Let this be the time and place that we explore
With no hesitation knocking at that door
Open up your heart and love forever more
And I tell you it's a cold day in hell but we remember
That song that starts out love me tender
And that king of hearts
When I walk with you
When I talk with you
Everything will be fine
When I walk with you
When I talk with you
Everything will be fine
Will be fine
Picking up the picture of love in pain
I don't have time if what time remains
What I have just tried to explain flew by you
What can I do with a heart of steel
I would impart what I've come to feel
Love is the answer and It is real
I'll always be there beside you
When I walk with you
When I talk with you
Everything will be fine
When I walk with you
When I talk with you
Everything will be fine
Will be fine
When I walk with you
When I talk with you
Everything will be fine
When I walk with you
When I talk with you
Everything will be fine
HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED A MOONBEAM
-"AND AMBER?"
AS IT SLITHER CROSS YOUR WINDOW PANE?
-"I THINK SHE WILL REMEMBER YOU, GO! GO!."
OR STRUGGLE WITH A BIT OF RAIN?
OR DANCE ABOUT THE WEATHERVANE?
-"THE NETHERWORLD, LIKE THE HUMAN WORLD,
THINKS IT TAKES CARE OF ITSELF....
OR SETTLE ON A MORNING TRAIN
AND IT PROBABLY DOES."
AND WONDER WHERE THE TRAIN'S BEEN.
AH -
AH -
I'm sure to fall, fall in love

So hold me tight, let tonight be the night
Darlin', don't ever let me go
Oh, lovin' you is the natural thing to do
I want you for the rest of my life
One step forward and two steps back
The crowd will roar and bones will crack
And you'll be Samba to me
And by the calm of the sea
You gave your promise to me
We go hand in hand
Backing up the band
Put things on the sand
Understand I love you
It's a rock 'n tumble, Never give up
You've got the stuff
We've got enough
We are in love
Take two steps forward and two steps back
Two steps back
It's a rock 'n tumble, Never give up
You've got the stuff
We've got enough
We are in love
Hollywood is waltzin'

In a picture show life
They win and they lose

They've been dancin' for so long
What else can they do?
Hollywood is rockin'
Doin' the double talkin'
Anything they can do

All I do is scream your name, yeah

You make me wanna holler and jump right out my collar
You've got me on the run, yeah
Oo-wee, babe, oo-wee, yeah
Friends don't recognize me, they say you hypnotize me
Ooh, what you done to me, babe?
You drive me out of my sunsets, oo-wee

With sultry lips and long blonde hair
They say, she came from Haites or was it the Euphrates
That brought my lady here, yeah?
Oo-wee, babe, oo-wee, yeah
Friends don't understand me, they say you underhand me
Ooh, what you done to me, babe?
You drive me out of my senses, oo-wee, yeah
Take it, John
It's my doctor playing
When I walk into her parlor
It's like the spider and the fly
In the darkness, she surrounds me
And weaves her web around me
And locks me up inside, yeah
She look just like the new Jean Harlow
With sultry lips and long blonde hair
They say, she came from Haites or was it the Euphrates
That brought my lady here, uh, uh?

People like you and I always hate one another
Until there's nothing left to hate no more
You and I will always hear different drummers
You just go your way, I'll go mine
You and I always take from each other
Until there's nothing left to give no more
You and I are just like lightning and thunder
We never let the sun just shine

Gimme some old time relovin'

You and I will always hear different drummers

Then I got a job, in a factory
Played Butlin's Camp with my friend Rory
It was good for him, it was great for me
Liverpool I left you, said goodbye to Madryn Street
I always followed my heart, and I never missed a beat
Destiny was calling, I just couldn't stick around
Liverpool I left you but I never let you down
Went to Hamburg, the red lights were on
With George and Paul, and my friend John
We rocked all night, we all looked tough
We didn't have much but we had enough
Liverpool I left you, said goodbye to Madryn Street
I always followed my heart, and I never missed a beat
Destiny was calling, I just couldn't stick around
Liverpool I left you but I never let you down
In the U.S.A. when we played Shea
We were number one and it was fun
When I look back, it sure was cool
For those four boys from Liverpool
Liverpool I left you, said goodbye to Admiral Grove
I always followed my heart, so I took it on the road
Destiny was calling, I just couldn't stick around
Liverpool I left you but I never let you down
Hey, hey, baby, I wanna know
If you'll be my girl
Hey, hey, baby, I wanna know
If you'll be my girl
When I saw you walking down the street
I said, "That's the kind of girl I just like to meet"
She's so pretty, Lord, she's so fine
I'm gonna make her mine, mine
I said, "Hey, hey, baby, I wanna know
If you'll be my girl"
When you turned and walked away
That's when I wanna say
"Come on, baby, give me a whirl
I wanna know if you'll be my girl"
I said, "Hey, hey, baby, I wanna know
If you'll be my girl"
When you turned and walked away
That's when I wanna say
"Come on, baby, give me a whirl
I wanna know if you'll be my girl"
I said, "Hey, hey, baby
(Hey, baby)
I wanna know if you'll be my girl"
(All right)
Be my girl
(Let me hear it one time, boys)
Hey, hey, baby, I wanna know
If you'll be my girl
Hey, hey, baby, I wanna know
If you'll be my girl
Lives on a farm, got plenty of charm, beep, beep
He's got no cows but he's sure got a whole lotta sheep
And brand new wife and a family
And when he comes to town I wonder if he'll play with me
Laying in bed, watching TV, cookie
With his mama by his side, she's Japanese
They scream and they cried, now they're free
And when he comes to town, I know he's gonna play with me
He's a long-haired, cross-legged guitar picker, um um
With his long-legged lady in the garden picking daisies for his soup
A forty acre house he doesn't see
'Cause he's always in town playing for you with me
I play guitar, A, D, E, I don't play bass
'Cause that's too hard for me, I play the piano if it's in C
And when I go to town I wanna see all three
And when I go to town I wanna see all three
People like you see it comin' a mile off
Find it hard stayin' in line
It's not that no one really hears you
Just that nobody really cares
Like someone who's just seen the light
Like someone looking for a fight
Same thing ev'ry day, being foolish, being asked to lose your seat
Don't look to me askin' to be helped up to your feet
Don't you know you're a dead giveaway?
You're a dead giveaway
You're a dead giveaway
You're a dead giveaway
You're a dead giveaway, dead giveaway
Don't look to me 'cause I know your game
Nonsense merchant, hall of fame
Take it or leave it, you're a blind drunk
And if you ain't that, you're far too stoned
'Cause you're a dead giveaway
Smell a rat in ev'rything you do
Well, you're a dead giveaway
Asked to leave ev'rywhere you go
People say you're a dead giveaway
Dead giveaway
Dead giveaway
Dead giveaway
Somebody knockin' at the door
You're a dead giveaway
I've seen you happy all the time
Don't live lonely life
Dead giveaway
Well, it's a dead giveaway
You're a dead giveaway
Dead giveaway
Nobody really cares
Dead giveaway
Dead giveaway
Dead giveaway
Pack up all my cares and woes
Here I go, singing low
Bye, bye, blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar is sweet, so is she
Bye, bye, blackbird
No one here can love and understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye, bye
Pack up all my cares and woes
Here I go, singing low
Bye, bye, blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar is sweet, so is she
Bye, bye, bye, bye, blackbird
I said, no one here can love and understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
So, make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye, bye
Make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, I said blackbird
I said blackbird
I'm just a bad boy
All dressed up in fancy clothes
I'm taking the trouble
To blow my bubbles away
Bad boy
Life is just a bowl of cherries
I'm taking the trouble
To turn my night into day
The hot blazing sun
Won't hurt my head
'Cause you'll always find me
Right there in the shade
I can see all the folks
They're laughing at me
'Cause I'm just a naturally, crazy, lazy
Bad boy
Life is just a bowl of cherries
I'm taking the trouble
To turn my night into day
The hot blazing sun
Won't hurt my head
'Cause you'll always find me
Right there in the shade
I can see all you folks
You're laughing at me
'Cause I'm just a naturally, crazy, lazy
Bad boy
All dressed up in these fancy clothes
And I'm taking the trouble
To blow my bubbles away
Only you can make this world seem right.
Only you can make the darkness bright.
Only you and you alone can thrill me like you do.
And fill my heart with love for only you.
Only you can make this change in me.
For it's true
you are my destiny.
When you hold my hand I understand
The magic that you do
you're my dream come true
My one and only you.
Only you can make this world seem right
. . .
Only you can make this change in me
. . .
Only you
only you
(Starkey/Hudson/Grakal/Dudas)
Light is fading darkness coming soon
Feeling lonely in this empty room
Something's been going wrong
I'm barely holding on
And it's true. All it takes is
(Chorus)
One girl for just one minute
One world but you're not in it
One girl. All it takes is one.
Lately I find I'm feeling insecure
Is it just me I'm not really sure
Something's been going on
I know it won't be long
And it's true. All it takes is
(to Chorus)
It's getting very late
Why did she go away
I needed her to stay
Look at the state I'm in
Something's been going on
How could I have been so wrong
And it's true. All it takes is
You girl for just one minute
My world but you're not in it
life goes on
no one gets rehearsal
life goes on
through everyday reversal
with every dawn everyday is full of chances
to find some good before it's gone
you'll never know which way a day is gonna take you
there's always some surprise that comes along to shake you
a simple rule of thumb that's often been neglected
is take life as it comes expecting unexpected
you'll never see exactly where the road will lead you
and when it comes to love you gamble when you need to
you'll maybe break your heart on one unlucky throw
but then again, you'll never know
who knows why anything can happen
a cloudy sky can suddenly break open
before your eyes there's the smiling face of summer chasing all the rain away
you'll never know which way a day is gonna take you
there's always some surprise that comes along to shake you
a simple rule of thumb that's often been neglected
is take life as it comes expecting unexpected
you'll never see exactly where the road will lead you
and when it comes to love you gamble when you need to
you'll maybe break your heart on one unlucky throw
but then again, you'll never know
a simple rule of thumb that's often been neglected
is take life as it comes expecting unexpected
i never saw exactly where the road would lead me
one day i woke to find somebody needs me
i thought *i'd take at luck *as far as it would go
In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed on to the sun
Till we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
And our friends are all aboard
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
{Full speed ahead Mr. Boatswain, full speed ahead
Full speed ahead it is, Sgt.
Cut the cable, drop the cable
Aye, aye, Sir, aye, aye
Captain, captain}
As we live a life of ease
Every one of us has all we need
(One of us, has all we need)
Sky of blue and sea of green
(Sky of blue, sea of green)
In our yellow submarine
(In our yellow, submarine, aha)
We all live in a yellow submarine
A yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
A yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Some days are diamonds, some days are stone
Some days we need, to leave it alone
But when we look back, at how far we've come
We know we're in it, for the long run
The worst it ever was was wonderful
Better than I ever dreamed
The worst it ever was was wonderful
Cause it's always been you and me
And we made it through
The way we always do
Cause for me and you
The worst it ever was was wonderful
Each time I see you, I feel the same
It always gets better, the more we can change
No expectations, no room for doubt
There's never been trouble, we can't work out
The worst it ever was was wonderful
Better than I ever dreamed
The worst it ever was was wonderful
Cause it's always been you and me
And we made it through
The way we always do
Cause for me and you
The worst it ever was was wonderful
Each time I see you, I feel the same
It always gets better, the more we can change
No expectations, no room for doubt
There's never been trouble, we can't work out
The worst it ever was was wonderful
Better than I ever dreamed
The worst it ever was was wonderful
Cause it's always been you and me
And we made it through
The way we always do
Cause for me and you
Sleigh bells ring, are you list'nin?
In the lane, snow is glist'nin'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the blue bird, (blue bird)
Here to stay is a new bird, (new bird)
He sings a love song, (a ha) as we go along (a ha)
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman, (snowman)
Then pretend that he is parson brown
He'll say, "are you married?" we'll say, "no man! (no man)
But you can do the job when you're in town."
Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire (fire fire)
To face unafraid, (aha) the plans that we made (a ha)
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman, (snowman)
Then pretend that he is parson brown
He'll say, "are you married?" we'll say, "no man! (no man)
But you can do the job when you're in town."
Later on, (later on) we'll conspire (we'll conspire)
As we dream by the fire (as we're sittin' dreaming by the fire)
To face unafraid, (aha) the plans that we made (a ha)
Walkin' in a winter wonderland, (ah ah ah ah)
Walkin' in a winter wonderland, (winter wonderland)
Walkin' in a winter wonderland, (walkin' in a)
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
I was walkin'
I was walkin'
I was winter wonderland due last night
We were walkin
We were talkin'
We were winter wonderland due last night. (yeah)
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you
Why do you whisper, green grass?
Why tell the trees what ain't so?
Whispering grass, the trees
Don't have to know, no, no
Why tell them all your secrets?
Who kissed there long ago?
Whispering grass, the trees
Don't need to know
Don't you tell it to the breeze
'Cause they will tell the birds and bees
And everyone will know
Because you told the blabbering trees
Yes, you told them once before
It's no secret any more
Why tell them all the old things?
They're buried under the snow
Whispering grass, don't tell the trees
'Cause the trees don't need to know
Why tell them all the old things?
They're buried under the snow
Whispering grass, don't tell the trees
When the world is coming down on you
And your back's against the wall
Change the glass that you've been looking through
It's only half full after all
If you feel like giving up
If you feel you've had enough
Let it go, don't you know
You can come and kick the bottom out
Stomp your feet scream and shout
Let it go, let it go
It's never quite as bad as you think it is
Çause every bad day turns around
Forgive yourself for all the things you did
The vertical man don't lay down
If you feel like giving up
If you feel you've had enough
Let it go, don't you know
Come on - kick the bottom out
Stomp your feet scream and shout
Let it go, let it go
And when the sun comes shining through for you
You'll discover even rainbows have the blues
Yes I know it's not news to you
Am I getting through to you
If you feel like giving up
Don't you know life is tough
Let it go, Let it Go
I can feel your breath on my face
But I still want to turn on the light
Is it really you here with me tonight?
Is it really you here with me tonight?
I can't believe it, it feels so right
I keep on pinching myself
But I keep on holding you tight
Is it really you here with me tonight?
When I wake up in the morning
It sure gonna seem like a dream
There's only one chance, I know this is going on
That's when I can see you lying next to me
Is it really you here with me tonight?
I can't believe it feels so right
I can feel your breath on my face
But I still want to turn on the light
Is it really you here?
Is it really you here?
Is it really you here with me tonight?
Is it really you here with me tonight?
Now, listen, sugar
Is it really you here with me tonight?
Is it really you here with me tonight?
Is it really you here with me tonight?
"Bon soir!"
"Ooh, some heavies back here tonight, my God!"
"I've known Ringo for quite a while and I'm glad to see him doing something like this
tonight 'cause it's really serious."
"Ringo Starr & The All Starr Band!"
"Joe Walsh!"
"Nils Lofgren!"
"Dave Edmunds!"
"Todd Rundgren!"
"Burton Cummings!"
"Timothy B. Schmit!"
"Tim Cappello!"
"And Zak Starkey!"
"This is Ringo Starr, Ladies and Gentlemen!"
"Good evening, Montreux!"
"I love your T-shirt!...Any minute now....
Oh, it's really great to be here at the Montreux Jazz Festival, er..., you know,
I'm sure you all recognise me as an old jazz player."
Tonight's the Christmas dance in London town
The lights are up, the snow is falling down
Like every year I catch your eye across the floor
But too afraid to do much more
At the Christmas dance
That magic time of year when dreams come true
Yeah, the Christmas dance
The only dance I wanna dance is you
The music's playing, hearts are swaying to the rhythm of romance
At the Christmas dance
I combed my hair and straightened out my tie
This year I'm gonna ask you do or die
And I'll need every ounce of courage I can find
Feet don't fail me, love be kind
At the Christmas dance
That magic time of year when dreams come true
The Christmas dance
The only dance I wanna dance is you
The music's playing, hearts are swaying to the rhythm of romance
At the Christmas dance
No more searching love at last
(No more searching love at last)
No more ghosts of Christmas past
(No more ghosts of Christmas past)
Under the mistletoe we kissed and danced so slow
And when our children ask the meaning of romance
(Christmas is not the romance)
It's the Christmas dance
That magic time of year when dreams come true
At the Christmas dance
The only dance I wanna dance is you
The music's playing, hearts are swaying to the rhythm of romance
At the Christmas dance
Oh, the Christmas dance
Yeah, the Christmas dance
Oh, the Christmas dance
Yeah, the Christmas dance, yeah
Merry Christmas!
Yeah, the Christmas dance, yeah
Merry Christmas! Yeah
Merry Christmas! Yes! Yeah! Yeah!
Everybody dance
Sneaking Sally through the alley
Sneaking Sally through the alley
Sneaking Sally through the alley
Tryin' to keep her from sight
Sneaking Sally through the alley
My baby caught me last night
I said, "I can't find nothing wrong with being friends"
'Cause sometimes she lets me use her car
She said, "If you can't find nothing wrong in your mind
I know you've gone too far"
Sneaking Sally through the alley
Tryin' to get away clean
(Tryin' to get away)
Sneaking Sally through the alley
My baby saw the whole scene
So I began to try and explain
But it just wasn't, wasn't much of a thought
Now I should find me somebody new
(Somebody new)
'Cause this man has been caught
She caught me sneaking with Sally through the alley
(Sneaking with Sally)
Tryin' to get away clean
Sneaking with Sally through the alley
(Sneaking with Sally)
I know you know what I mean
(What I mean, what I mean)
Tryin' to get away
Tryin' to get away
Tryin' to get away
Sneaking Sally through the alley
Sneaking Sally through the alley
I talk double talk
Anything's trouble talk
Catching myself in lies
Mama, just look at me
Thinking about killing me
I saw it in her eyes
Oh, oh, oh
She caught me sneaking with sally through the alley
Tryin' to keep her from sight
I was sneaking with Sally through that alley
(Sneaking with Sally)
My baby caught me last night
Well, I was sneaking sally through the alley
Tryin' to get away clean
You know, sneaking with Sally without knowing
(Sneaking with Sally)
My baby saw the whole scene
Oh, oh, oh
Give me all the time you have
Won't be satisfied
I'm happy when you hold my hand
Still not satisfied
And when you tell me it's time to go
I'll ask you for a minute more
And if you never leave my side
I won't be satisfied
If I only have one day with you
Won't be satisfied
Even with a year or two
Still not satisfied
I'm not asking for to much
Not of smile or a touch
And if you never leave my side
I won't be satisfied, I'm not satisfied
I spend my lifetime looking
For someone like you
And when you lay next to me
You made a dream come true
I spend my lifetime looking
For someone like you
And when you lay next to me
You made a dream come true
Here in the morning light
Yes, I'm satisfied
If I'm never out of your sight
I am satisfied
I only want to hear your smile
I want forever not just a while
And if you never leave my side
I'll be satisfied
(Oh, satisfied)
Yes, satisfied
(Oh, satisfied)
Hum, satisfied
(Oh, satisfied)
I'll be satisfied
(Oh, satisfied)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Outside there's a runaway
The lights go down, the world goes rushing in
Neon light takes the light of day
Stars like dust start falling
Inside there's a loneliness
The demon tries to charm you with his smile
No time to dream or rest
In the caves of steel, faces are changing
They're the runaways, they're the runaways
Children of the damned, they're the runaways
Running for their life, faster than they can
They're the runaways
On the street the traffic dies
The break of day, it always comes too soon
Running out of reasons why
All your life you blamed it on the moon
Look out for the danger signs
You're stealing time but you know
You'll never win another border line
In the caves of steel, faces are changing
They're the runaways, children of the night
They're the runaways, running for your life
Faster than you can, they're the runaways
Run, run, runaways
Nightmares chase the dreams away
The cold night reflects the way you feel
It's just another town
It's just one more night to kill
All the streets are empty now
Like the wolf, you walk this night alone
And in some other world
In the caves of steel, faces are changing
They're the runaways, they're the runaways
They're the runaways, they're they runaways
Children of the night, they're the runaways
Run, run, run, run away, running for your life
Faster than you can
They're the runaways, run, run, run, run away
Children of the damned, they're the runaways
They're the runaways, running for your life
Faster than they can, they're the runaways
Run, run, runaways
They're the runaways, they're the runaways
Children of the night, they're the runaways
They're the runaways, running for their life
Faster than they can, they're the runaways
Long ago, far away
Life was clear
Close your eyes
Remember, is a place from long ago
Remember, filled with everything you know
Remember, when you're sad and feelin' down
Remember, turn around
Remember, life is just a memory
Remember, close your eyes and you can see
Remember, think of all that life can be
Remember
Dream, love is only in a dream, remember
Remember, life is never as it seems, dream
Dream, love is only in a dream, remember
Remember, life is never as it seems, dream
Long ago, far away
Life was clear
Every time I see your face
It reminds me of the places
We used to go.
But all I've got is a photograph
And I realise you're not coming back
Any more.
I thought I'd make it
The day you went away
But I can't make it
Till you come home again to stay.
I can't get used to living in
And my heart is broke
My tears are cried for you.
I want you here to have and hold
As the years go by and we grow old
And grey.
Now you're expecting me
To live without you.
But that's not something
That I'm looking forward to.
I can't get used to living in . . .
Last night I had a peace dream
You know how real dreams can be
The world was a better place
For you and me can't you see?
No need for war no more
Better things we're fighting for
No more hunger no more pain
I hope I have that dream again
Can you imagine, all of this coming true?
It's really up to all of us to do
Just like John Lennon said in Amsterdam
Conk his bed
One day the world will wake up to see
The reality
Last night I had a peace dream
You know how real dreams can be
The world was a better place
For you and me, can't you see?
(You've got to imagine)
No need for war no more
(Try to imagine)
Better things we're fighting for
No more hunger, no more pain
I hope that dream comes true someday
So try to imagine if we give peace a chance
All the world could be living in harmony
One day our dream could be reality, reality
Last night I had a peace dream
You know how real dreams can be
The world was a better place
For you and me
(You've got to imagine)
No need for war no more
(Try to imagine)
Better things we're fighting for
No more hunger, no more pain
I phoned up my doctor
To see what's the matter
He said, "Come on over"
I said, "Do I have to?"
My knees started shaking
My wrists started aching
When my doctor said to me
Oh my my, oh my my
You can boogie, you can slide
Oh my my, oh my my
You can boogie if you try
Oh my my, oh my my
It's guaranteed to keep you alive
The head nurse
She blew it just like a tornado
When they started dancing
I jumped off the table
My lips started healing
And as I was leaving
This is what they said to me
Yeah, oh my my, oh my my
You can boogie, you can slide
Oh my my, oh my my
You can boogie, you can fly
Oh my my, oh my my
It's guaranteed to keep you alive
Now if you should slow down
And you're feeling low down
Don't call up your doctor
Just grab you a partner
I've got your prescription
It's what you've been missing
That boogie woogie remedy
Hey, oh my my, oh my my
You can boogie, you can slide
Oh my my, oh my my
We can boogie till we die
Oh my my, oh my my
It's guaranteed to keep you alive
Hey, oh my my, oh my my
You can boogie, you can slide
Oh my my, oh my my
We can boogie, we can fly
Oh my my, oh my my
Can you boogie, can you fly?
Oh my my, oh my my
We can boogie, we can fly
Oh my my, oh my my
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus's garden in the shade
I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus's garden with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade
We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Restin' our head on the sea bed
In an octopus's garden near a cave
We would sing and dance around
Because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade
We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
Lies beneath the ocean waves
Oh, what joy, for every girl and boy
Knowing we're happy and we're safe
Happy and we're safe
We would be so happy you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden with you
In an octopus's garden with you
A woman that I know just came from Colombia.
She smiled because I did not understand.
Then she held out some marijuana, uh huh.
She said it was the finest in the land.
And I said, "No no no no, I don't smoke it no more.
I'm tired of waking up on the floor.
No thank you, please, it only makes me sneeze.
And then it makes it hard to find the door."
A man I know just came to me from Tennessee, Oh.
He smiled because I did not understand.
Then he held out some moonshine whiskey, oh ho!
He said it was the finest in the land.
And I said, "No no no no, I don't drink it no more.
I'm tired of waking up on the floor.
No thank you, please, it only makes me sneeze.
And then it makes it hard to find the door."
A woman that I know just came from Majorca, Spain,
She smiled because I did not understand.
Then she held out a 10 pound bag of cocaine.
She said it was the finest in the land.
And I said, "No no no no, I don't no more.
I'm tired of waking up on the floor.
No thank you, please, it only makes me sneeze.
We were young, it was fun
And we couldn't lose
Times were right, overnight
We were headline news
Crazy days and reckless nights
Limousines and bright spotlights
We were brothers through it all
And your song will play on without you
And this world won't forget about you
Every part of you was in your song
Now we will carry on
Never without you
Within you, without you
Here comes the song, it's about you
Here today, not alone
With my memories
Life is strange, how things change
It's reality
You played a beautiful melody
That keeps on haunting me
I can always feel you by my side
And your song will play on without you
And this world won't forget about you
Every part of you was in your song
Now we will carry on
Never without you
Within you, without you
Here comes the song, it's about you
I know all things must pass
And only love will last
I'll always love the memory of you and me
Take it away Eric
And your song will play on without you
And this world won't forget about you
Every part of you was in your song
Now we will carry on
Never without you
Within you, without you
We're never without you
Within you, without you
We're never without you
We're never without you
Within you, without you
Is it's a sin to live without
To look within?
I didn't know which way to turn
She had to go and so I've learned
And now forever and a day
I will wait
In that Show-Me-State
Yes, Virginia there?s a world to see
But without you where can it be?
I'm goin? to Kansas City but that?s just me
On a Greyhound bus from Tennessee
No need to worry, I ain't in no hurry
Missouri loves company
Down this country lane
I leave behind a little pain
And as I cross the county line
And every state's in my mind
I've got nothin? to lose
Like St. Louis
I've got the blues
Yes, Virginia there's a world to see
But without you where can it be?
I'm goin' to Kansas City but that?s just me
On a Greyhound bus from Tennessee
No need to worry, I ain't in no hurry
Missouri loves company
Minneapolis through Saint Paul
The pain's the same and that ain't all
I'm headin' north where my lover calls
I'm not goin' down like Niagara Falls
I've got to do what's best for me
That's findin' you
I?II travel on near or far
?Til I find the place you are
Yes, Virginia there's a world to see
But without you where can it be?
I'm goin' to Kansas City but that's just me
All the way from Graceland Tennessee
There's no need to worry, I ain't in no hurry
(Starkey/Hudson/Grakal/Dudas)
What's right, who's wrong, everybody take sides
My God, your God, God it's such a fine line
E-mail, jump bail, man becomes a female
War vet dragnet take another percocet
Somewhere in between
There's a world you've never seen
Perhaps it's just a dream
But it's so real to me
(Chorus)
Livin' in a mindfield, We're walking on thin ice
Livin' in a mindfield, There's no time to think twice
Only we can make it better
Let's all get well together
Rock stars, pop stars lifing in an ant farm
Smooth talkin', cool walkin', drownin' in your own charm
Mystic medicine, Maharishi let us in
Way out, weigh in, where the hell have you been
Somewhere in my dream
There's a twilight in between
A place I've been but never seen
And it's so real to me
(to Chorus)
Everything you do or say
Comes with a price that you must pay
I didn't know that yesterday
Good junk, bad funk, I can see through you
Peace, love, everyone be your own Guru
Mindfield, We're walking on thin ice
Livin' in a mindfield, There's no time to think twice
Your pretty brown eyes, your wavy hair
I won't go home no more 'cause you're not there
I'm telling you now like I told you before
I'm so in love with you, don't leave me no more
Lipstick traces on a cigarette
Every memory lingers with me yet
I got it bad like I told you before
I'm so in love with you don't leave me no more
(Won't you come on home?)
Won't you come on home?
(Won't you come back home?)
Won't you come back home?
I'm crazy 'bout you, can't live without you
Won't you come back home?
I'm telling you now like I told you before
I'm so in love with you, don't leave me no more
(Won't you come on home?)
Won't you come on home?
(Won't you come back home?)
Won't you come back home?
I'm crazy 'bout you, can't live without you
Won't you come back home?
Lipstick traces on a cigarette
Every memory lingers with me yet
I'm telling you now like I told you before
I'm so in love with you, so don't leave me no more
Don't leave me no more
(Leave me no more)
Don't leave me no more
(Leave me no more)
Don't leave me no more
(Leave me no more)
Don't leave me no more
(Leave me no more)
Don't leave me no more
Cross over the border, we'll take a sailin' ship
Into the night, a sea without horizons
We'll have each others love to hold us tight
On a starless night
Oh Las Brisas, means the breeze will carry us
Like two birds in flight on a starless night
Oh penumbra, means the sunset that I see
Within your smile is the dawn of your eyes
Yo te amo, means I love you like
I've never loved before
Dreams come true, dear when I take you
In my arms forever more, forever more
Oh Las Brisas, means the breeze will carry us
Like two birds in flight on a starless night
Oh penumbra, means the sunset that I see
Within your smile is the dawn of your eyes
Penumbra, means the sunset that I see
Within your smile is the dawn of your eyes
Yo te amo, means I love you like I've never
Lady Gaye
I know you'll never, ever change your way
There is no one who's been through more than you
And still come through with love to spare
You really care, you lovely lady, you
Lady Gaye
You're really not the woman you portray
Well, I don't mean that disrespectfully
For you have always shared your home
With all who've come to love you like I do
To love you like I do
It's time that all you people turned to look
And take a leaf out of this lady's book
Lady Gaye
When morning comes there's nothing left to say
But you have shown me what life's all about
It's time to shout your praises 'round
They'll never knock you down
We love you, Lady Gaye
Well, it's time to shout our praises 'round
They'll never knock you down
We love you, Lady Gaye
We love you, Lady Gaye
We love you, Lady Gaye
(Love you)
We love you, Lady Gaye
(Love you)
We love you, Lady Gaye
(Love you)
We love you, Lady Gaye
(Love you)
I love, I love, I love, I love, I love you
I love, I love, I love, I love, I love you
I love, I love, I love, I love, I love you
(Starkey/Hudson/Grakal/Dudas)
I live my life, It's only right
'Cause I can't live your life for you
I'm satisfied, Feeling high
'Cause I found out just what to do
So you can bet I never let the things I get
Get the best of me
When I get blue here's what I do and so can you
It's no mystery when you sing
(Chorus)
LA LA DE DA Like que sera sera
whatever LA DE DA
All you gotta say is LA DE DA
You don't need to cry, No reason why
Is ever good enough for me
We can take a walk, Just laugh and talk
Whatever's going to be will be
And when it rains I don't complain I'm like a train
I just keep rolling on
Sometimes you lose you blow a fuse you're not immune
To what's been going on - sing along
(to Chorus)
And when you're down it can be found turn it around
You know the remedy
Just cut some slack and don't look back
'Cause it's a fact it will be OK when you say
(to Chorus)
Just like Doris Day sad Que Sera
LA LA DE DA, LA LA DE DA, LA LA DE DA
All you gotta say is LA DE DA
ALl I gotta say is, All we gotta say is
You can climb a mountain, you can swim the sea
You can jump into the fire, but you'll never be free
You can shake me up, or I can break you down
Oh, oh, oh
We can make each other happy
Oh, we can make each other happy
We can make each other happy
Oh, we can make each other happy
You can climb a mountain, you can swim the sea
You can jump into the fire, but you'll never be free
You can shake me up, or I can break you down
Oh, oh, oh
We can make each other happy
Oh, we can make each other happy
We can make each other happy
Oh, we can make each other happy, oh
You can climb a mountain, you can swim the sea
You can jump into the fire, but you'll never be free
You can shake me up, or I can break you down
Oh, oh, oh
We can make each other happy
We can make each other happy
It don't come easy
You know it don't come easy
It don't come easy
You know it don't come easy
Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy
You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy
Open up your heart, let's come together
Use a little love and we will make it work out better
I don't ask for much, I only want your trust
And you know it don't come easy
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time
And you know it don't come easy
Peace, remember peace is how we make it
Here within your reach if you're big enough to take it
Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy
You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy
Peace, remember peace is how we make it
Here within your reach if you're big enough to take it
I don't ask for much, I only want your trust
And you know it don't come easy
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time
Instant amnesia makes you forget
Your worries, your troubles, forgives you your debt
Instant amnesia it's already gone
You think you remember tomorrow you're wrong
Let it go, let it go
Instant amnesia it's just like a kiss
You can't close your eyes it's too easy to miss
Instant amnesia you can't take no pill
There's no medicine so it must be God's will
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Is this in my mind?
In your mind
Is this in my mind?
In your mind, mind
It's like instant karma
We've been there before
Do you hear the doctor
He's knocking at your door
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Instant amnesia
Instant amnesia
Instant amnesia
Instant amnesia
If you're ever feelin' down
If your world ain't turnin' 'round
I'll make it turn around for you
I'll do whatever I can do
If you ever need someone
(If you need someone)
I would love to be the one
Call when you're feeling all alone
(When you're all alone)
If you just need a hand to hold
(When you need a hand to hold)
In a heartbeat
I'll be by your side
Any time you want me
Any time you want me
In a heartbeat
You can have my love
Any time you want me
Baby, in a heartbeat I'll be there
If your sky is full of rain
Help you find the sun again
I'll chase the clouds away for you
I'll find a brighter day for you
Any hour of the night
(You know i'll be there)
I'll be there as fast as lightning strikes
And when you're feeling all alone
(When you're all alone)
I'll be the hand that you can hold
(When you need a hand to hold)
In a heartbeat
I'll be by your side
Any time you want me

In a heartbeat
You can have my love
Any time you want me
Baby, in a heartbeat I'll be there
In a heartbeat
I'll be by your side
Any time you want me
Any time you want me
In a heartbeat
(Starkey/Hudson/Grakal)
I was walkin', I was talkin'
I was talkin' to myself last night
I was dancin', yeah I was dancin'
I was dancin' by myself last night
My occupation is syncopation
And when I hit 'em well it saves my life
I've been a sinner, I've been a winner
My life's better than a roll of the dice
Everybody's movin' everybody's groovin'
Goin' thru the motions 'cause we don't know what we're doin'
Look into the mirror - youre the solution
Inner peace and love is the only revolution
I look in a mirror, I look in a mirror
I look in a mirror and I'm looking alright
I never worry, I never hurry
I'm just livin' and I'm doin' alright
Everybody's movin' everybody's groovin'
Having so much fun
'Cause we're happy what we're doin'
Look into the mirror - you're the solution
Inner peace and love is the only revolution
I was dreamin', I was talkin'
I was talkin' in my sleep last night
Everybody's movin' everybody's groovin'
Having so much fun
'Cause we're happy what we're doin'
Look into the mirror - you're the solution
Inner peace and love is the only revolution
I was lookin', I was cookin'
I was cookin' by myself last night
I was dancin', I was dancin'
Leavin' again
I don't know where or when we'll meet again
Gypsies in flight
I look into your eyes and see Gypsies in flight
I see your face
In everyone who passes, can't take your place
With some regrets
Our affair has ended but who can forget?
Gypsies in flight
I look into your eyes and see Gypsies in flight
I'd like to thank you for spending time with me
And when the mornin' comes, I know you must be free
Leavin' again
I don't know where or when we'll meet again
Gypsies in flight
I look into your eyes and see Gypsies in flight
Gypsies in flight
(Gypsies in flight)
I look into your eyes and see Gypsies in flight
Gypsies in flight
One and a-two and a-one, two, three, four, all right
I took my baby to a party last night, ah-hah-hah
She was so beautiful, she made me uptight, ah-hah-hah
Up came a butcher with her ju jus alight, ah-hah-hah
It's all da-da-da-down to goodnight Vienna
Felt like a bohunk but I kept up my cool, ah-hah-hah
Green as a frog, man, I was back into school, ah-hah-hah
Zipped up my mouth 'cause I was starting to drool, ah-hah-hah
It's all da-da-da-down to goodnight Vienna
Get it up, get it up, get it up, get it up
She said she loved me but I knew she was lying, ah-hah-hah
Felt like an arab who was dancing through zion, ah-hah-hah
Don't call no doctor when you just feel like crying, ah-hah-hah
It's all da-da-da-down to goodnight Vienna
Get it up
(Keep it up)
Get it up
(Keep it up)
Get it up
(Keep it up)
Get it up
(Keep it up)
I took my baby to a party last night, ah-hah-hah
She was so beautiful, she made me uptight, ah-hah-hah
Up came a butcher with his needles in sight, ah-hah-hah
Monday is here and I'm feeling no pain
Easy jet ticket to take me to Spain
Captain, get your foot down
In two hours, I'll be there
Tuesday, in love with a girl I don't know
Lost her that night in the Karma disco
I don't care, lovers are everywhere
It's a good day for nothing at all
Bad day for taking a fall
It's a holiday, don't bother to call
Free drinks for one and for all
Free drinks, free drinks, free drinks
Wednesday, I'm shopping in Juan Les Pins
Dressed to the nines, now, I'm dancing in Cannes
Can you stay with me in Saint-Tropez?
Thursday, a suite at Saint Paul's Colombe D'or
Chagall's on the walls and her dress on the floor
A kiss goodbye, it's time for me to fly
It's a good day for nothing at all
Bad day for taking a fall
It's a holiday, don't bother to call
Free drinks for one and for all
Free drinks, free drinks, free drinks
Free drinks
1, 2, 3, 4
Friday, I sleep, I'm not sure where I am
Saturday, Saturday, first class on American
To LA but only for one day
Now, it's Sunday
[Incomprehensible]
Good day for nothing at all
It's a bad day for taking a fall
Holiday, don't bother to call
Free drinks for one and for all
It's a good day to ram the hall
It's a bad day for climbing the walls
It's a holiday, don't bother to call
Free drinks for one and for all
Good day for nothing at all
It's a bad day for taking a fall
Holiday, don't bother to call
Free drinks for one and for all
Free drinks, free drinks, free drinks
Free drinks, free drinks, free drinks
Remember when I said it don't come easy?
That seems so long ago
Well nothings changed and if you don't believe me
Look out your window
I wonder why, we gotta try?
To see eye to eye to eye
What's mine is yours
What's yours is mine
When we see eye to eye to eye
The wold is spinning and our lives go faster
It's getting out of control
So don't lose sight of what we're going after
It's in your heart and soul
We'll never lose
Why don't we choose?
To see eye to eye to eye
If we begin, we all can win
When we see eye to eye to eye
Let's fill the wold with joy and laughter
Do it now, there many be no after
Peace and love and harmony, now tell me how hard can it be?
It's easy, believe me
Remember when I said?
It don't come easy
That seems so long ago
I wonder why it's hard to try?
To see eye to eye to eye
What's mine is yours
What's yours is mine
If we see eye to eye to eye
We never lose
Why don't we choose?
We all can win when we begin
And to see eye to eye to eye
Eye to eye to eye
Will we ever learn what makes this world go round?
Now it's our concern, we still return to the same old ground
Nothing is new under the sun but things will get better
When we all are one we'll play a different game
Harmony is fine but after a time, well the key must change
Open your eyes, don't lose your way, remember today
Ah, everyone wins
The light that's shining out from you will touch everything that you see
Ah, everyone wins
You reach into the silence, you will find it's the time to believe
Take care of yourself, there's no mystery
Try to understand everything's planned, it's more than you or me
Magic may come, magic may go, it's not the end of the show
Ah, everyone wins
The light that's shining out from you will touch everything that you see
Ah, everyone wins
You reach into the silence, you will find it's the time to believe
One day you will find the doubts you had are taken from your mind
Taken from your mind
Ah, everyone wins
The light that's shining out from you will touch everything that you see
Ah, everyone wins
You reach into the silence, you will find it's the time to believe
Ah, everyone wins
Everyone wins
Elizabeth reigns
Over and under
Elizabeth reigns
Lightning and thunder
Elizabeth reigns
Since I was younger
She's head of the family
Elizabeth reigns over me
The Queen mum is dead
But she lives in my head
Since the world was at war
We all felt her pain
But never complained
We all loved her more
Elizabeth reigns
A letter unsent
Entombed in cement
And hung from the hanging tree
God save the Queen
If you know what I mean
We don't really need a king
Six hundred servants
Use her detergent
Scrubbing the palace floor
And all of your sins are
As big as the Windsors
So lets point our fingers
No more
Elizabeth reigns
Elizabeth reigns
(Williams)
Give me the beat boys
Give me the beat boys
Day after day I'm more confused
But I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
I'm feeling the strain
Ain't it a shame
(Chorus)
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in the rock and roll
And drift away
I'm beginning to think that I'm wasting my time
And I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
Now it's up to you
To carry me through
(to Chorus)
And when my mind is free
You know the melody can move me
And when I'm feeling blue
The guitar's coming through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy you've given me
I want you to know that I believe in the song
You help me along
You're making me strong
Give me the beat boys
Give me the beat boys
Well, you gotta have soap to wash your sins away
You gotta have hope, it's the price you gotta pay
And you gotta give love or your love will walk away
And you gotta stay loose, it's the only way to stay
Down, you got me goin', goin' 'round, you got me goin' down
Da-da down, da-da down
Down to the bottom, to the bottom of a hole, goin' down
Goin' down to the bottom, to the bottom of a hole, goin' down
Down, got me goin', goin' 'round, got me goin' down
Goin' down, down, down
Goin' down to the bottom of a hole, goin' down
I'm goin' down to the bottom, to the bottom of a hole, goin' down
Down, you got me goin', goin' 'round, you got me goin' down
Da-da-da down
Down, you got me goin', goin' 'round, you got me goin' down
You got me goin', goin' down
You got me goin', goin' down
Every time I see you walkin' down the street
I say, you're the kind of woman I just gotta meet
You look so good and you look so fine
And one of these days I'm gonna make you mine
Your eyes are green and your legs are long
And if I'm gonna get you, well, I gotta be strong
But you're like the devil with horns in your head
The only way I'll get you is to get you in bed
Devil woman, you're like a stranger to me
Devil woman, this ain't the way it should be
Every time I see you in the neighborhood
I say, you're the kind of woman that makes me feel good
I wanna beat you up then I wanna be kind
And one of these days I'm gonna make you mine
Sexy Sadie, you look like the devil to me
Devil woman, that's not the way it should be, yeah
Devil woman, you're like a stranger to me
Devil woman, this ain't the way it should be
Early in the mornin' when the sun is hot
All I do is think about the things you got
But you're like the devil with horns in your head
The only way I'll get you is to get you in bed
Devil woman, you're like an angel to me
Devil woman, this ain't the way it should be, yeah
Every time I see you walkin' down the street
I say, you're the kind of woman I just gotta meet
But you're like the devil with horns in your head
The only way I'll get you is to get you in bed
But you're like the devil with horns in your head
The only way I'll get you is to get you in bed
You look like the devil with horns in your head
The only way I'll get you is to get you in bed
Dear Santa, I know it's Christmas time again
How I love to sing the songs
And everyone becomes a friend
When they start to sing along
Dear Santa, I don't need a brand new toy
The ones I have are working fine
So give my toy to another girl or boy

(Yeah, yeah boys)
Aah!
(Yeah, yeah boys)
Well, I talk about boys, now
(Yeah, yeah boys)
What a bundle of joy!
(Yeah, yeah)
Whoa, whoa, oh yeah
Boys
(Yeah, yeah boys)
Don't you know I mean boys?
(Yeah, yeah boys)
Woo boys
(Yeah, yeah boys)
Ah hah
(Yeah, yeah boys)
I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations in red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing if you're not here with me
I'll have a blue Christmas that's certain
And when that blue heartache start hurtin'
You'll be doing all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas
I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
You'll be doing all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas
I'll have a blue, without you, blue Christmas
You came into my life when I was looking for an alibi
You looked in my eyes and I could tell you no lie
I was making life, feel all right, but it wasn't good
Lookin' at you, lookin' at me, I knew you understood
I've been down for so long, looking for a good disguise
Feelin' sorry for myself, I didn't realize
That I was digging holes, acting roles with no lines to say
I was losing sleep, counting sheep that never went away
I was waitin' for you to come into my life
Making up stories or looking for an alibi
Now we're together, it's gonna be never, we'll be parted again
I've loved you since the day we met and that was way back when
I was making life, feel all right in the same old way
I'm digging holes, acting roles with no lines to say
I was waitin' for you to come into my life
Making up stories, looking for an alibi
Looking for an alibi
Oh, looking for an alibi
They're gonna put me in the movies
They're gonna make a big star out of me
We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
And all I gotta do is act naturally
Well, I bet you I'm gonna be a big star
Might win an 'Oscar', you can never tell
The movie's gonna make me a big star
'Cause I can play the part so well
Well, I hope you'll come and see me in the movies
Then I'll know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that ever hit the big time
And all I gotta do is act naturally
We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
And beggin' down upon his bended knee
I'll play the part and I won't need rehearsin'
All I gotta do is act naturally
Well, I bet you I'm gonna be a big star
Might win an 'Oscar', you can never tell
The movie's gonna make me a big star
'Cause I can play the part so well
Well, I hope you'll come and see me in the movies
Then I'll know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that ever hit the big time
And all I gotta do is act naturally
All I gotta do is act naturally
You're feeling down
you're feeling blue
You do know that you care
But you don't know what to do.
If your Mamma don't feel good
Or your daddy don't feel good
Take a dose of rock'n' roll
And wash it down with cool clear soul
Ya better get your ripple soles out
Ease out all them mean controls
Take a dose of rock'n' roll
And wash it down with cool clear soul
Turn on your radio start dancin' to the moon
That old heart radio
it's gonna get ya
get ya.
Get ya in the mood.
Ya better get your ripple soles out
If your Mamma don't feel good
Famous quotes by Ringo Starr:
"It took us a week and we turned it into something and it's really beautiful."
"That was a great time. I was in my 20s, had lots of energy. I have great memories of it."
"Peace and love! Peace and love! Peace and love!"
"I feel just good. I feel like I have a purpose,"
"We will miss George for his sense of love, his sense of music and his sense of laughter."
"I like Beethoven, especially the poems."
"That's all drugs and alcohol do, they cut off your emotions in the end"
"America: It's like Britain, only with buttons."
""So this is America. They must be out of their minds.""
"Everything government touches turns to crap."

(Richard Starkey) It don't come easy, You know it don't come easy. It don't come easy, You know it don't come easy. Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues, And you know it don't come easy. You don't have to shout or leap about, You can even play them easy. Forget about the past and all your sorrows, The future won't last, It will soon be over tomorrow. I don't ask for much, i only want your trust, And you know it don't come easy. And this love of mine keeps growing all the time, And you know it just ain't easy. Open up your heart, let's come together, Use a little love And we will make it work out better. (ah -) (ah -) (ooh-ooh) (ah-ooh-ooh) Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues, And you know it don't come easy. You don't have to shout or leap about, You can even play them easy. Peace, remember peace is how we make it, Here within your reach If you're big enough to take it. I don't ask for much, i only want your trust, And you know it don't come easy. And this love of mine keeps growing all the time, And you know it don't come easy.

Historic concert which included performances from the likes of Donovan, Sheryl Crow, Moby and a certain Messrs McCartney and Starr who were performing in support of Transcendental Meditation. One of the very few times that Paul and Ringo have performed together on the same stage in public since the break up of THAT band. Also, probably the ONLY time they will perform "With A Little Help From My Friends" live together too !. Enjoy..!!

Ringo Starr - Live at the Mohegan Sun - 16. Frankenstein (Edgar Winter)
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 9:28
- Updated: 25 Jan 2013
July 16th 2006. "Frankenstein" is a rock instrumental by The Edgar Winter Group from their album They Only Come Out At Night. In live performances of the song, Edgar Winter further pioneered the advancement of the synthesizer as a lead instrument by becoming the first person ever to strap a keyboard instrument around his neck, giving him the on-stage mobility and audience interaction of guitar players. The song topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart for a week starting in May 1973, and sold over one million copies. It was knocked from the #1 spot by Paul McCartney's "My Love". Frankenstein reached #18 in the UK the following month. The song's title, coined by the band's drummer Chuck Ruff, derives from the fact that the original recording of the song was much longer than the final version, as the band would often deviate from the arrangement into less structured jams. The track required numerous edits to shorten it. The end result was pieced together from many different sections of recording tape using a razor blade and splicing tape. Winter frequently refers to the appropriateness of the name also in relation to its "monster-like, lumbering beat". (One riff was first used by Winter in the song "Hung Up", on his jazz-oriented first album Entrance. He later tried a variation on it, "Martians" on the Standing on Rock album.) Winter played many of the instruments on the track, including keyboards, saxophone and timbales. As the release's only instrumental cut, the song was ...

July 16th 2006. "Right Here Waiting" is a ballad recorded by Richard Marx on his second album, Repeat Offender. "Right Here Waiting" hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100. It also made it to #2 in the UK. "Right Here Waiting" was the second single from Repeat Offender, after "Satisfied". Marx wrote it on the road as a love letter to his wife, actress Cynthia Rhodes, who was in South Africa shooting for a film. In an era of power ballads, "Right Here Waiting" distinguished itself by its understatement; the track was arranged by Marx with Jeffery (CJ) Vanston to feature none of the heavy drums and synth popular at the time, with Marx's vocal accompanied only by guitar (by Bruce Gaitsch) and keyboards (by Vanston). It is one of Marx's most frequently covered compositions.

Liverpool 8 is the 14th studio album by Ringo Starr. It was released worldwide on 14 January 2008 to mixed reviews and marks Starr's return to EMI for the first time since leaving the label in 1975, following the end of The Beatles' recording contract with the company. Although technically Starr did make a brief re-appearance on EMI in the mid-1990s, as when his 1981 album Stop and Smell the Roses and his 1983 album Old Wave (both originally released on Boardwalk Records) were issued on CD, they appeared on Capitol's The Right Stuff label. Liverpool 8 was released by EMI Music worldwide, Capitol Records in the United States and Parlophone in the United Kingdom. The title refers to the postal district of the Toxteth area of Liverpool in which Starr was born.

In early 1982, Starr was eager to move on to his next project. Deciding that he needed more consistency this time around, he would work with only one producer, Joe Walsh, a former member of the recently disbanded Eagles. Walsh and Starr had known each other since the mid-1970s, having met and befriended each other in Los Angeles. Walsh immediately agreed to work with Starr and they met in February to begin writing material. After John Lennon's murder, Starr no longer felt safe in the US and returned home to England to live at Tittenhurst Park, which Starr purchased from Lennon in 1973. Having converted Lennon's recording studio into Startling Studios, Starr would record his new album there. Beginning in March, Starr was joined not only by Walsh, but Gary Brooker (Procol Harum), The Who's John Entwistle, Ray Cooper and Eric Clapton on one track.

Using the same team that created Vertical Man and Ringo Rama, Starr produced the set with longtime musical partner Mark Hudson and performed it with their studio team. As ever, a Starr album would be lacking if it did not include some celebrity guests and Choose Love does not deviate from the formula; it features Billy Preston and Chrissie Hynde as its most notable guests. Choose Love was initially released as a dual disc (CD on side, DVD on the other), with the DVD component featuring bonus features on the making of the album. Choose Love failed to chart in the UK and even the US, where both Vertical Man and Ringo Rama had seen a measure of commercial success.

As the follow-up to 1998's Vertical Man, it continues Starr's alliance with Mark Hudson as well as most of his collaborators from that last project. Ringo Rama is also Starr's first release under his new contract with Koch Records. Not straying too far from his tried and tested formula, Starr engaged the services of some of his famous musician friends for Ringo Rama. Contributors this time around include Willie Nelson, Charlie Haden, Van Dyke Parks, Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, Shawn Colvin, Timothy B. Schmit, and Eric Clapton. With George Harrison's late 2001 passing before Ringo Rama was started, Starr composed "Never Without You" in tribute to his friend, having Clapton perform the guitar solo duties.

Ringo Starr - "Ringo Rama" [Full Album] 01. 00:00 "Eye to Eye" 02. 03:18 "Missouri Loves Company" 03. 06:51 "Instant Amnesia" 04. 12:04 "Memphis in Your Mind" 05. 15:17 "Never Without You" 06. 20:41 "Imagine Me There" 07. 24:37 "I Think Therefore I Rock and Roll" 08. 28:03 "Trippin' on My Own Tears" 09. 31:35 "Write One for Me" (Duet with Willie Nelson) 10. 34:49 "What Love Wants to Be" 11. 37:52 "Love First, Ask Questions Later" 12. 42:38 "Elizabeth Reigns" 13. 46:33 "English Garden" 14. 48:52 "I Really Love Her" Ringo Rama is Ringo Starr's 12th studio album and was released in 2003. As the follow-up to 1998's Vertical Man, it continues Starr's alliance with Mark Hudson as well as most of his collaborators from that last project. Ringo Rama is also Starr's first release under his new contract with Koch Records. Not straying too far from his tried and tested formula, Starr engaged the services of some of his famous musician friends for Ringo Rama. Contributors this time around include Willie Nelson, Charlie Haden, Van Dyke Parks, Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, Shawn Colvin, Timothy B. Schmit, and Eric Clapton. With George Harrison's late 2001 passing before Ringo Rama was started, Starr composed "Never Without You" in tribute to his friend, having Clapton perform the guitar solo duties. Released in March 2003 (and again that November in a special edition) to relatively good reviews, Ringo Rama missed the UK charts but managed a #113 peak in the US

His first studio album since 1983's Old Wave, it followed a successful 1989/1990 world tour with his All-Starr Band. Aligning himself with top producers Don Was, Peter Asher, Phil Ramone and Jeff Lynne, the album was recorded sporadically throughout 1991. The material was written predominantly by outside writers, with Ringo co-writing three songs. Time Takes Time features several celebrity guests including Brian Wilson, Harry Nilsson and Electric Light Orchestra frontman Lynne. Time Takes Time also marked Starr's first alliance with Mark Hudson, both of whom would embark on a long-term musical partnership in the ensuing years. Hudson assisted in vocal arrangements on some of the Phil Ramone-produced tracks. Several tracks were left off the album. A Paul McCartney song entitled "Angel in Disguise", to which Ringo added a verse, has not seen the light of day.[4] Ringo covered the Elvis Presley hit "Don't Be Cruel" which was instead issued as the B-side of ...

However, Beaucoups of Blues is very far removed in style from its predecessor. While playing on sessions for George Harrison's All Things Must Pass (the recording of which began on 26 May), Starr—a long-time country and western fan—met Pete Drake, whom Harrison had called upon to play pedal steel guitar. Realizing Drake's deep connection to country (having also played on Bob Dylan's Nashville Skyline), Starr asked him if they could collaborate on an album together. Drake promptly told Starr his musician friends could compose more than an album's worth of material from which Starr could pick his favourites and record his vocals. Starr was very keen and agreed. He flew to Nashville on 22 June to begin working on the project. While most of the tracks were cut in two ...

It is in fact, his sixth studio album, but his fourth rock album. Ringo the 4th has more dance-oriented context, not typical for Ringo Starr. After the commercial disappointment of Ringo's Rotogravure (1976), Starr decided to shift his formula of using his well-known musician friends (notably his fellow ex-Beatles) to write songs and appear on his albums. Instead, he intensified his partnership with Vini Poncia, with whom he wrote several of the songs featured here, while using the input of different musicians. The album was produced by Arif Mardin. The cover photos were by Starr's fiancee, Nancy Lee Andrews. David Foster played keyboards on a couple of songs, while Melissa Manchester and Bette Midler occasionally appeared on backing vocals. Ringo the 4th was reissued on CD in the US by Atlantic Records on 18 August 1992 without any bonus tracks. The song "Wings" was re-recorded years later and released on Ringo's Ringo 2012 album and again as a lead single in 2012.

Following the end of his contract with EMI, Starr signed on with Polydor Records (which once signed a pre-Ringo Beatles as the backing band of Tony Sheridan) worldwide (Atlantic Records handling US distribution) and was eager to see his solo success continue on in a new era. Two years on from 1974's Goodnight Vienna, Starr − armed with new producer Arif Mardin − again stuck to his tried-and-true formula of having friends write songs and play on the recordings. This time, Eric Clapton took part, in addition to his old friend Harry Nilsson, and Peter Frampton, Melissa Manchester, Dr. John, Paul McCartney and John Lennon (his last studio session for four years until Double Fantasy). George Harrison donated a song too, but because of his commitments to get his album Thirty Three & 1/3 done on schedule, he couldn't take part in any recording for Ringo's Rotogravure. Harrison's contribution was a song previously known as "When Every Song Is Sung", which he had attempted to record first with Ronnie Spector in 1971, then with Cilla Black (on ...

Although Bad Boy was meant to reverse this trend, Starr's fortunes dwindled further. After the critical and commercial disaster of Ringo the 4th (1977), Starr and his musical partner, Vini Poncia, decided to create a less campy album and streamline the sound to lose the disco qualities and excesses that marred the previous release. With Poncia taking the production reins, Starr mostly relies on other people's songs, with no celebrity guests to be found. The album was recorded, for tax purposes, in Vancouver, Toronto, and The Bahamas. It was completed within ten days of sessions in November 1977, with the exception of some orchestral overdubs done on 8 March 1978 under the direction of James Newton Howard. Bad Boy reached only number 129 in the US, despite the airing of a prime time TV special entitled Ringo: With a Little Help from His Friends.

With Wings then in limbo and McCartney II just released, McCartney booked time with Starr from 11--21 July in France to record three songs: "Private Property" and "Attention" (both McCartney originals) plus a cover of "Sure To Fall". Next, Stephen Stills got involved, writing "You've Got a Nice Way" for Starr and producing its recording that August.

The idea was to create an album of standards that would reflect his parents' favourite songs, even asking them and other members of his family to choose the tracks. Starr had one song each arranged by different musicians, ranging from Martin himself, Paul McCartney, Maurice Gibb, Quincy Jones and old friend of the Beatles from Hamburg (and bassist with Manfred Mann) Klaus Voormann, as well as Elmer Bernstein among others. Although begun during the sessions, George Harrison's composition, "It Don't Come Easy", would appear as a single in 1971. Recording of the album was completed in March 1970, with Sentimental Journey being rushed out merely two weeks later in order to avoid clashing in the shops with the Beatles' impending final album Let It Be in May and McCartney, whose 17 April release date its maker flatly refused to delay after being asked to by the other members of the band ...

May 16, 1969 www.amazon.com Watch more: lifeofthebeatles.blogspot.com Richard Starkey, MBE (born 7 July 1940), better known by his stage name Ringo Starr, is an English musician, singer-songwriter, and actor who gained worldwide fame as the drummer for The Beatles. When the band formed in 1960, Starr belonged to another Liverpool band, Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. He became The Beatles' drummer in August 1962, taking over from Pete Best. In addition to his contribution as drummer, Starr featured as lead vocals on a number of successful Beatles songs (in particular, "With a Little Help from My Friends", "Yellow Submarine", and The Beatles version of "Act Naturally"), as co-writer with the song "What Goes On" and primary writer with "Don't Pass Me By", and "Octopus's Garden". As drummer for The Beatles, Starr was musically creative, and his contribution to the band's music has received high praise from notable drummers in more recent times. Starr described himself as "your basic offbeat drummer with funny fills", technically limited by being a left-handed person playing a right-handed kit. Drummer Steve Smith said that Starr's popularity "brought forth a new paradigm" where "we started to see the drummer as an equal participant in the compositional aspect" and that Starr "composed unique, stylistic drum parts for The Beatles songs." Starr is the most documented and critically acclaimed actor-Beatle, playing a central role in several Beatles films, and appearing in ...

Ringo Starr - Live at the Mohegan Sun - 16. Frankenstein (Edgar Winter)
July 16th 2006. "Frankenstein" is a rock instrumental by The Edgar Winter Group from their album They Only Come Out At Night. In live performances of the song, Edgar Winter further pioneered the advancement of the synthesizer as a lead instrument by becoming the first person ever to strap a keyboard instrument around his neck, giving him the on-stage mobility and audience interaction of guitar players. The song topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart for a week starting in May 1973, and sold over one million copies. It was knocked from the #1 spot by Paul McCartney's "My Love". Frankenstein reached #18 in the UK the following month. The song's title, coined by the band's drummer Chuck Ruff, derives from the fact that the original recording of the song was much longer than the final version, as the band would often deviate from the arrangement into less structured jams. The track required numerous edits to shorten it. The end result was pieced together from many different sections of recording tape using a razor blade and splicing tape. Winter frequently refers to the appropriateness of the name also in relation to its "monster-like, lumbering beat". (One riff was first used by Winter in the song "Hung Up", on his jazz-oriented first album Entrance. He later tried a variation on it, "Martians" on the Standing on Rock album.) Winter played many of the instruments on the track, including keyboards, saxophone and timbales. As the release's only instrumental cut, the song was ...

Ringo Starr - Live at the Mohegan Sun - 13. Right Here Waiting (Richard Marx solo)
July 16th 2006. "Right Here Waiting" is a ballad recorded by Richard Marx on his second album, Repeat Offender. "Right Here Waiting" hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100. It also made it to #2 in the UK. "Right Here Waiting" was the second single from Repeat Offender, after "Satisfied". Marx wrote it on the road as a love letter to his wife, actress Cynthia Rhodes, who was in South Africa shooting for a film. In an era of power ballads, "Right Here Waiting" distinguished itself by its understatement; the track was arranged by Marx with Jeffery (CJ) Vanston to feature none of the heavy drums and synth popular at the time, with Marx's vocal accompanied only by guitar (by Bruce Gaitsch) and keyboards (by Vanston). It is one of Marx's most frequently covered compositions.

Paul McCartney/Ringo Starr "Change Begins Within" Concert.
Historic concert which included performances from the likes of Donovan, Sheryl Crow, Moby and a certain Messrs McCartney and Starr who were performing in support of Transcendental Meditation. One of the very few times that Paul and Ringo have performed together on the same stage in public since the break up of THAT band. Also, probably the ONLY time they will perform "With A Little Help From My Friends" live together too !. Enjoy..!!

Liverpool 8 is the 14th studio album by Ringo Starr. It was released worldwide on 14 January 2008 to mixed reviews and marks Starr's return to EMI for the first time since leaving the label in 1975, following the end of The Beatles' recording contract with the company. Although technically Starr did make a brief re-appearance on EMI in the mid-1990s, as when his 1981 album Stop and Smell the Roses and his 1983 album Old Wave (both originally released on Boardwalk Records) were issued on CD, they appeared on Capitol's The Right Stuff label. Liverpool 8 was released by EMI Music worldwide, Capitol Records in the United States and Parlophone in the United Kingdom. The title refers to the postal district of the Toxteth area of Liverpool in which Starr was born.

In early 1982, Starr was eager to move on to his next project. Deciding that he needed more consistency this time around, he would work with only one producer, Joe Walsh, a former member of the recently disbanded Eagles. Walsh and Starr had known each other since the mid-1970s, having met and befriended each other in Los Angeles. Walsh immediately agreed to work with Starr and they met in February to begin writing material. After John Lennon's murder, Starr no longer felt safe in the US and returned home to England to live at Tittenhurst Park, which Starr purchased from Lennon in 1973. Having converted Lennon's recording studio into Startling Studios, Starr would record his new album there. Beginning in March, Starr was joined not only by Walsh, but Gary Brooker (Procol Harum), The Who's John Entwistle, Ray Cooper and Eric Clapton on one track. With none of his usual celebrity mates helping out, this was largely a Starr/Walsh album and the spotlight would be mostly on them. The album's titling of ...

Recorded throughout 2004 into 2005, the album received strong reviews upon its release and preceded another promotional tour with Starr and his studio band, called "The Roundheads". Using the same team that created Vertical Man and Ringo Rama, Starr produced the set with longtime musical partner Mark Hudson and performed it with their studio team. As ever, a Starr album would be lacking if it did not include some celebrity guests and Choose Love does not deviate from the formula; it features Billy Preston and Chrissie Hynde as its most notable guests. Choose Love was initially released as a dual disc (CD on side, DVD on the other), with the DVD component featuring bonus features on the making of the album. Choose Love failed to chart in the UK and even the US, where both Vertical Man and Ringo Rama had seen a measure of commercial success.

As the follow-up to 1998's Vertical Man, it continues Starr's alliance with Mark Hudson as well as most of his collaborators from that last project. Ringo Rama is also Starr's first release under his new contract with Koch Records. Not straying too far from his tried and tested formula, Starr engaged the services of some of his famous musician friends for Ringo Rama. Contributors this time around include Willie Nelson, Charlie Haden, Van Dyke Parks, Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, Shawn Colvin, Timothy B. Schmit, and Eric Clapton. With George Harrison's late 2001 passing before Ringo Rama was started, Starr composed "Never Without You" in tribute to his friend, having Clapton perform the guitar solo duties. Released in March 2003 (and again that November in a special edition) to relatively good reviews, Ringo Rama missed the UK charts but managed a #113 peak in the US

His first studio album since 1983's Old Wave, it followed a successful 1989/1990 world tour with his All-Starr Band. Aligning himself with top producers Don Was, Peter Asher, Phil Ramone and Jeff Lynne, the album was recorded sporadically throughout 1991. The material was written predominantly by outside writers, with Ringo co-writing three songs. Time Takes Time features several celebrity guests including Brian Wilson, Harry Nilsson and Electric Light Orchestra frontman Lynne. Time Takes Time also marked Starr's first alliance with Mark Hudson, both of whom would embark on a long-term musical partnership in the ensuing years. Hudson assisted in vocal arrangements on some of the Phil Ramone-produced tracks. Several tracks were left off the album. A Paul McCartney song entitled "Angel in Disguise", to which Ringo added a verse, has not seen the light of day.[4] Ringo covered the Elvis Presley hit "Don't Be Cruel" which was instead issued as the B-side of ...

However, Beaucoups of Blues is very far removed in style from its predecessor. While playing on sessions for George Harrison's All Things Must Pass (the recording of which began on 26 May), Starr—a long-time country and western fan—met Pete Drake, whom Harrison had called upon to play pedal steel guitar. Realizing Drake's deep connection to country (having also played on Bob Dylan's Nashville Skyline), Starr asked him if they could collaborate on an album together. Drake promptly told Starr his musician friends could compose more than an album's worth of material from which Starr could pick his favourites and record his vocals. Starr was very keen and agreed. He flew to Nashville on 22 June to begin working on the project. While most of the tracks were cut in two ...

Ringo Starr - "Ringo the 4th" [Full Album] 01. 00:00 "Drowning In the Sea of Love" 02. 05:09 "Tango All Night" 03. 08:08 "Wings" 04. 11:35 "Gave It All Up" 05. 16:17 "Out On the Streets" 06. 20:48 "Can She Do It Like She Dances" 07. 24:01 "Sneaking Sally Through the Alley" 08. 28:19 "It's No Secret" 09. 32:02 "Gypsies In Flight" 10. 35:06 "Simple Love Song" Ringo the 4th is the sixth album by Ringo Starr, released in 1977. It is in fact, his sixth studio album, but his fourth rock album. Ringo the 4th has more dance-oriented context, not typical for Ringo Starr. After the commercial disappointment of Ringo's Rotogravure (1976), Starr decided to shift his formula of using his well-known musician friends (notably his fellow ex-Beatles) to write songs and appear on his albums. Instead, he intensified his partnership with Vini Poncia, with whom he wrote several of the songs featured here, while using the input of different musicians. The album was produced by Arif Mardin. The cover photos were by Starr's fiancee, Nancy Lee Andrews. David Foster played keyboards on a couple of songs, while Melissa Manchester and Bette Midler occasionally appeared on backing vocals. Ringo the 4th was reissued on CD in the US by Atlantic Records on 18 August 1992 without any bonus tracks. The song "Wings" was re-recorded years later and released on Ringo's Ringo 2012 album and again as a lead single in 2012. Ringo the 4th was a dismal failure upon its release, both commercially and critically ...

Following the end of his contract with EMI, Starr signed on with Polydor Records (which once signed a pre-Ringo Beatles as the backing band of Tony Sheridan) worldwide (Atlantic Records handling US distribution) and was eager to see his solo success continue on in a new era. Two years on from 1974's Goodnight Vienna, Starr − armed with new producer Arif Mardin − again stuck to his tried-and-true formula of having friends write songs and play on the recordings. This time, Eric Clapton took part, in addition to his old friend Harry Nilsson, and Peter Frampton, Melissa Manchester, Dr. John, Paul McCartney and John Lennon (his last studio session for four years until Double Fantasy). George Harrison donated a song too, but because of his commitments to get his album Thirty Three & 1/3 done on schedule, he couldn't take part in any recording for Ringo's Rotogravure. Harrison's contribution was a song previously known as "When Every Song Is Sung", which he had attempted to record first with Ronnie Spector in 1971, then with Cilla Black (on ...

Although Bad Boy was meant to reverse this trend, Starr's fortunes dwindled further. After the critical and commercial disaster of Ringo the 4th (1977), Starr and his musical partner, Vini Poncia, decided to create a less campy album and streamline the sound to lose the disco qualities and excesses that marred the previous release. With Poncia taking the production reins, Starr mostly relies on other people's songs, with no celebrity guests to be found. The album was recorded, for tax purposes, in Vancouver, Toronto, and The Bahamas. It was completed within ten days of sessions in November 1977, with the exception of some orchestral overdubs done on 8 March 1978 under the direction of James Newton Howard. Bad Boy reached only number 129 in the US, despite the airing of a prime time TV special entitled Ringo: With a Little Help from His Friends. Polydor Records, after three consecutive non-charters in the UK, promptly dropped Starr, while his new US label, Portrait Records (who picked ...

After meeting soon-to-be second wife Barbara Bach on the film set of Caveman in early 1980, Starr contacted Paul McCartney to initiate some sessions. With Wings then in limbo and McCartney II just released, McCartney booked time with Starr from 11--21 July in France to record three songs: "Private Property" and "Attention" (both McCartney originals) plus a cover of "Sure To Fall". Next, Stephen Stills got involved, writing "You've Got a Nice Way" for Starr and producing its recording that August. Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stones was keen to help out and brought along "Dead Giveaway" that September, which they both co-produced. Long-time friend Harry Nilsson was next on Starr's checklist, presenting him ...

Ringo Starr Interview with Peter Sellers
May 16, 1969 www.amazon.com Watch more: lifeofthebeatles.blogspot.com Richard Starkey, MBE (born 7 July 1940), better known by his stage name Ringo Starr, is an English musician, singer-songwriter, and actor who gained worldwide fame as the drummer for The Beatles. When the band formed in 1960, Starr belonged to another Liverpool band, Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. He became The Beatles' drummer in August 1962, taking over from Pete Best. In addition to his contribution as drummer, Starr featured as lead vocals on a number of successful Beatles songs (in particular, "With a Little Help from My Friends", "Yellow Submarine", and The Beatles version of "Act Naturally"), as co-writer with the song "What Goes On" and primary writer with "Don't Pass Me By", and "Octopus's Garden". As drummer for The Beatles, Starr was musically creative, and his contribution to the band's music has received high praise from notable drummers in more recent times. Starr described himself as "your basic offbeat drummer with funny fills", technically limited by being a left-handed person playing a right-handed kit. Drummer Steve Smith said that Starr's popularity "brought forth a new paradigm" where "we started to see the drummer as an equal participant in the compositional aspect" and that Starr "composed unique, stylistic drum parts for The Beatles songs." Starr is the most documented and critically acclaimed actor-Beatle, playing a central role in several Beatles films, and appearing in ...

Richard Starkey, MBE (born 7 July 1940), better known by his stage name Ringo Starr, is an English musician and actor who gained worldwide fame as the drummer for the Beatles. When the band formed in 1960, Starr was a member of another Liverpool band, Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. He joined the Beatles in August 1962, taking the place of Pete Best. In addition to his drumming, Starr is featured on lead vocals on a number of successful Beatles songs (in particular, "With a Little Help from My Friends", "Yellow Submarine", and the Beatles version of "Act Naturally"). He is credited as a co-writer of the songs "What Goes On" and "Flying", and as the writer of "Don't Pass Me By" and "Octopus's Garden".
As drummer for the Beatles, Starr was musically creative, and his contribution to the band's music has received high praise from notable drummers in more recent times. Starr described himself as "your basic offbeat drummer with funny fills".[1] Drummer Steve Smith said that Starr's popularity "brought forth a new paradigm" where "we started to see the drummer as an equal participant in the compositional aspect" and that Starr "composed unique, stylistic drum parts for The Beatles songs". In 2011, Starr was picked as the fifth-best drummer of all-time by Rolling Stone readers.[2]
Starr is the most documented and critically acclaimed actor among the Beatles, playing a central role in several of their films, and appearing in numerous other films, both during and after his career with the Beatles. After the Beatles' break-up in 1970, Starr achieved solo musical success with several singles and albums, and recorded with each of his fellow ex-Beatles as they too developed their post-Beatle musical careers. He has also been featured in a number of TV documentaries, hosted TV shows, narrated the first two series of the children's television series Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends and portrayed "Mr. Conductor" during the first season of the PBS children's television series Shining Time Station. Since 1989, Starr has toured with eleven variations of Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band.

Early life[link]
Ringo Starr was born on 7 July 1940 at 9 Madryn Street, Dingle, Liverpool, Lancashire, England, the son of Elsie (née Gleave) and Richard Starkey, a confectioner.[3][4][5][6] His paternal grandfather was born with the surname "Parkin", and later adopted his stepfather's surname, "Starkey".[7] Starr's parents split up when he was three years old,[8] and his mother subsequently married Harry Graves,[9] who encouraged his interest in music.[8][9][10] Starr's family moved when he was three years old to a smaller home at 10 Admiral Grove. Starr attended an Evangelical Anglican church during his childhood.[11] He was afflicted by illness for much of his early years. When aged six, he had appendicitis, which developed complications, causing him to fall into a coma.[12] At thirteen, he developed chronic pleurisy and was admitted to a sanatorium for two years.[13] After this extended hospital visit he did not return to school.[9][14] The periods of hospitalisation left him behind scholastically, and as a result he was ineligible to attend a grammar school or even sit its Eleven plus qualifying examination.[15] Earlier, Starr attended St Silas, a Church of England primary school in High Park Street, close to his home in Admiral Grove;[16] singer Billy Fury attended the school at the same time. Later, Starr attended Dingle Vale Secondary Modern School (now Shorefields Technology College), leaving in 1955.[17] While there, he showed an aptitude for art and drama as well as practical subjects including mechanics.[15] Starr's health problems had another enduring effect in the form of allergies and sensitivities to food, and when The Beatles travelled to India in 1968, he took his own food with him.[18]
Like John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison, Starr became caught up in Liverpool's skiffle craze.[19] In 1957, he and his friend Eddie Miles formed the Eddie Clayton Skiffle Group.[20] In 1959, he joined the Raving Texans,[21] now adopting the stage name "Ringo Starr" because of the rings he wore[22] and because it sounded "cowboyish", and his drum solos were billed as "Starr Time".[23] By October 1960, the band was renamed Rory Storm and the Hurricanes, and while they were performing in Hamburg, Starr met The Beatles.[24][25] On 16 October 1960 he drummed in Hamburg with Lennon, McCartney and Harrison, recording with them for the first time to back Hurricanes' singer Lu Walters.[26]
After returning to the UK, Starr sat in for Pete Best as The Beatles' drummer on 18 August 1961 and 5 February 1962.[27] The Beatles removed Best as their drummer on 16 August 1962, after Best had played in the early recording sessions at EMI Studios.
Starr's first performance as a full Beatle was on 18 August 1962 at a Horticultural Society dance at Port Sunlight.[27][28] After his appearance at the Cavern Club performance as a full Beatle the following day, Best's fans were upset at his sacking, holding vigils outside Best's house and fighting at the club, shouting 'Pete forever! Ringo never!'[27][29] George Harrison received a black eye from one of the fans.[30]
When he arrived at EMI Studios for the second time on 11 September, Starr was shocked to find another drummer there, session drummer Andy White who was commissioned by producer George Martin. Using sessions drummers familiar with studio techniques was a normal procedure for studio recordings in those days. Starr's view at the time was that Andy White was brought in because he thought George Martin viewed him as crazy. Of the 4 September rehearsal session, Starr stated, "He [George Martin] thought I was crazy and couldn't play. Because when we were doing 'Please Please Me', I was actually playing the kit and in one hand I had a tambourine and a maracas in the other, because I was trying to play the percussion and the drums at the same time, because we were just a four piece band".[31] Starr also stated, "I thought, 'That's the end, they're doing a Pete Best on me.'" [32]

Main article: The Beatles
Vocals[link]
Starr generally sang at least one song on each studio album as part of an attempt to establish the vocal personality of all four members. In some cases, Lennon or McCartney wrote the lyrics and melody especially for him, as they did for "Yellow Submarine" from Revolver and "With a Little Help from My Friends" on Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.[33] These melodies were tailored to Starr's baritone vocal range. Starr's backing vocals are heard on songs such as "Carry That Weight",[34] and "The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill". He also is the lead vocalist on "Octopus's Garden.[35]
Composition[link]
The Beatles used Starr's unusual turns of phrase, or "Ringoisms" as they became known, such as "a hard day's night" and "tomorrow never knows", and turned them into songs.[36] Recalling this, McCartney said, "Ringo would do these little malapropisms, he would say things slightly wrong, like people do, but his were always wonderful, very lyrical... they were sort of magic".[37] As well as inspiring his bandmates' creativity in this way, Starr occasionally contributed his own lyrics to unfinished Lennon and McCartney songs, such as the line "darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there" in "Eleanor Rigby".[38] Frustrated at times of being the odd man out in the group in regard to songwriting, Starr commented in The Beatles Anthology that when he presented a song to the Beatles, it would often sound to the other three Beatles like a popular song of the day. Starr did eventually begin composing, and is credited with "Don't Pass Me By" (on The White Album)[39][40] and "Octopus's Garden" (on Abbey Road)[41][42] as sole songwriter.
His disgust with the band's tensions and boredom at waiting around to contribute during the sessions for the White Album caused him to quit the group temporarily. He spent two weeks with actor Peter Sellers on the latter's yacht, Amelfis, in Piraeus, where he wrote "Octopus's Garden".[43] He did not return for two weeks, even though the other Beatles urged him to come back: Lennon sent telegrams, and Harrison set up flowers all over the studio for Starr's return saying "Welcome home".[44] Starr's name also appears as a co-writer for the Rubber Soul track "What Goes On" along with Lennon and McCartney,[45] while the songs "Flying" (on the Magical Mystery Tour album)[46] and "Dig It" (on Let It Be)[47] are listed as being written by the entire group. On issued material after the break-up, Starr wrote "Taking a Trip to Carolina" from the second "bonus" CD of Let It Be... Naked, and received joint songwriting credits with the other three Beatles for "12-Bar Original", "Los Paranoias", "Christmas Time (Is Here Again)", "Suzy Parker" (heard in the Let It Be film), "Jessie's Dream" (heard in the Magical Mystery Tour film) and The Beatles' version of "Free as a Bird".
1964 illness[link]
_1964_001.png)
In June 1964, the Beatles were scheduled to tour Denmark, the Netherlands, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.[48] On 3 June, the day before the tour, Starr collapsed during an early morning photo session for the Saturday Evening Post at a portrait studio in Barnes, London. Stricken with a 102-degree fever and tonsillitis, he was rushed to the hospital. This bout with tonsillitis necessitated a stay in hospital and a few days of recuperation at home. During this time, Starr was temporarily replaced for the Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Hong Kong and Adelaide concert dates by 24-year-old session drummer Jimmie Nicol. Beatles producer George Martin suggested Nicol because he had recently recorded at EMI with Tommy Quickly and recently became familiar with Beatles numbers while drumming on a recording session for an album called Beatlemania. At first, Harrison did not want Starr replaced and refused to go on the tour without Starr, but Brian Epstein and George Martin convinced Harrison to begin the tour. Starr was discharged from the hospital on 11 June, and he rejoined the group in Melbourne on 15 June 1964. Ultimately, Starr had his tonsils removed during the Beatles' Christmas holiday period later in the year. Starr later admitted that he feared that he would be permanently replaced during his illness.
Drumming skills[link]
While Starr himself has been the first to acknowledge the technical limitations of his drumming for the Beatles, the overall effect of his contribution has received high praise from notable drummers. Starr said, "Whenever I hear another drummer I know I'm no good. I'm no good on the technical things [...] I'm your basic offbeat drummer with funny fills. The fills were funny because I'm really left-handed playing a right-handed kit. I can't roll around the drums because of that."[1] Martin's version was, "Ringo hit good and hard and used the tom-tom well, even though he couldn't do a roll to save his life", although Martin later added, "He's got tremendous feel. He always helped us to hit the right tempo for a song, and gave it that support — that rock-solid back-beat — that made the recording of all The Beatles' songs that much easier."[1] In 1968,[49] Martin praised Starr's drumming on Sgt. Pepper, calling him "probably ... the finest rock drummer in the world today."[50] Lennon, when asked if Starr was the best drummer in the world, jokingly replied, "He's not even the best drummer in the Beatles!"[51] (on account of McCartney filling in for Starr on drums on several songs, such as "Back in the USSR", "Dear Prudence" and "Martha My Dear") - though this quote could be apocryphal.[52] He definitely did say, "Ringo's a damn good drummer. He always was a good drummer. He's not technically good, but I think Ringo's drumming is underrated the same way as Paul's bass playing is underrated."[1] McCartney sent Starr a postcard on 31 January 1969 (the day after the band's performance on the roof of Apple Studios), stating: "You are the greatest drummer in the world. Really." This postcard is included in Starr's book Postcards from the Boys.[53]
Drummer Steve Smith extolled Starr's qualities beyond the technical, in terms of his musical contribution as drummer:
| “ | Before Ringo, drum stars were measured by their soloing ability and virtuosity. Ringo's popularity brought forth a new paradigm in how the public saw drummers. We started to see the drummer as an equal participant in the compositional aspect. One of Ringo's great qualities was that he composed unique, stylistic drum parts for the Beatles' songs. His parts are so signature to the songs that you can listen to a Ringo drum part without the rest of the music and still identify the song.[2] | ” |
Phil Collins, the drummer for Genesis, who was himself influenced by Starr,[citation needed] said:
| “ | Starr is vastly underrated. The drum fills on the song "A Day in the Life" are very complex things. You could take a great drummer today and say, 'I want it like that.' He wouldn't know what to do.[54][55] | ” |
In September 1980, John Lennon had this to say about Starr:
| “ | Ringo was a star in his own right in Liverpool before we even met. He was a professional drummer who sang and performed and had Ringo Starr-time and he was in one of the top groups in Britain but especially in Liverpool before we even had a drummer. So Ringo's talent would have come out one way or the other as something or other. I don't know what he would have ended up as, but whatever that spark is in Ringo that we all know but can't put our finger on — whether it is acting, drumming or singing I don't know — there is something in him that is projectable and he would have surfaced with or without the Beatles. Ringo is a damn good drummer.[56] | ” |
Many drummers acknowledge Starr as an influence, including Steve Gorman of the Black Crowes, Dave Grohl of Nirvana, Jen Ledger of Skillet, Max Weinberg of the E Street Band, Danny Carey of Tool, Liberty DeVitto of Billy Joel's band, Nicko McBrain of Iron Maiden, Eric Carr of Kiss, Phil Rudd of AC/DC, Orri Páll Dýrason of Sigur Rós,[57] the former Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy, Pedro Andreu of Heroes del Silencio and others.[55]
In his extensive survey of the Beatles' recording sessions, Mark Lewisohn confirmed that Starr was both proficient and remarkably reliable and consistent. According to Lewisohn, there were fewer than a dozen occasions in the Beatles' eight-year recording career where session "breakdowns" were caused by Starr making a mistake, while the vast majority of takes were stopped owing to mistakes by the other three members.[55] Starr is considered to have influenced various modern drumming techniques, such as the matched grip, placing the drums on high risers for visibility as part of the band, tuning the drums lower, and using muffling devices on tonal rings.[2]
For the band's second recording session with Starr as a member on 11 September 1962, producer George Martin replaced the studio-inexperienced Starr with session drummer Andy White to record takes for what would be the two sides of the Beatles' first single, "Love Me Do" backed with "P.S. I Love You".[58] Starr played tambourine on "Love Me Do" and maracas on "P.S. I Love You" for this session.[59] McCartney took over the drums on "Back in the U.S.S.R." and "Dear Prudence" from the White Album (1968) after Starr had walked out,[60] and also played the drums on "The Ballad of John and Yoko", recorded on 14 April 1969, since only he and Lennon were immediately available to record the song.[61] Starr commented that he was lucky in being "surrounded by three frustrated drummers" who could only drum in one style.[62]
After the Beatles[link]
1970s[link]
After the announcement of the break-up of the Beatles on 10 April 1970, Starr released two albums before the end of that year. Sentimental Journey featured Starr's renditions of many pre-rock standards and included the arranger talents of Quincy Jones, Maurice Gibb, George Martin and McCartney, among others. His next album, Beaucoups of Blues, put Starr in a country context, and included renowned Nashville session musician Pete Drake. He scored hit singles with "It Don't Come Easy" (1971) (U.S. No.4) and "Back Off Boogaloo" (1972) (U.S. No.9), the latter of which was his biggest UK hit, peaking at No.2. He achieved two No.1 hits in the U.S., with "Photograph" (co-written with Harrison) and "You're Sixteen" (written by the Sherman Brothers of Mary Poppins fame).
He participated in the Concert for Bangladesh organised by Harrison in 1971, as well as drumming on Harrison's All Things Must Pass and Living in the Material World, Lennon's John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, and Yoko Ono's early solo work. Starr then made his debut as a film director with the T. Rex documentary Born to Boogie. Starr became firm friends with T. Rex frontman Marc Bolan and during the period of filming the documentary, Starr released the single "Back Off Boogaloo".[63]
In 1971, he started a furniture company with designer Robin Cruikshank. Starr's own avant-garde designs included a flower-shaped table with adjustable petal seats and a donut-shaped fireplace.[64]
The 1973 album Ringo, produced by Richard Perry, with participation by the other three former Beatles on different tracks, was commercially successful. The album Goodnight Vienna followed the next year and was also successful. Hits and notable tracks from these two albums included "Photograph" and "You're Sixteen" both reaching number one on the US charts, "Oh My My" (US No.5) and "I'm the Greatest" (written by Lennon) from Ringo, and "Only You (And You Alone)" (US No.6) and "No No Song" (US No.3) from 1974's Goodnight Vienna. In late 1975, these singles and others were collected for Starr's first greatest hits compilation, Blast from Your Past, which was the last album released on Apple Records.[65] During this period he became romantically involved with Lynsey de Paul.[66] He played tambourine on a song she wrote and produced for Vera Lynn, "Don't You Remember When", and he inspired another De Paul song, "If I Don't Get You the Next One Will", which she described as being about revenge after he missed a dinner appointment with her because he was asleep in his office.[66]
Starr's recording career subsequently diminished in commercial impact, although he continued to record and remained a familiar celebrity presence. Starr signed with Atlantic Records in the mid-1970s, and in 1976 the album Ringo's Rotogravure was released. Although yielding two minor hit singles, "A Dose of Rock 'n' Roll" (US No.26) and a cover of "Hey! Baby" (US No.74) the album achieved moderate sales but reached a respectable No.28. This caused the label to revamp Starr's formula; the results were a curious blend of disco and 1970s pop. The album Ringo the 4th (1977) was a commercial disaster, reaching no higher than No.162 on the charts. Afterward, Starr soon signed with Portrait Records. His stint with Portrait began on a promising note: 1978 saw the release of Bad Boy, as well as a network TV special. However, neither were very popular, with Bad Boy reaching a disappointing No.129 on the US charts. Consequently, Starr did not release another album with Portrait Records.[67]
In 1975, Starr founded his own record label called Ring O'Records, telling Circus magazine he thought "the record company thing is going to be a gas". The only thing he didn't like about it was "the contract signing thing. If I had my way, everyone would be tied to my company by word of mouth but the solicitors won't have it." He mentioned the implicit trust the Beatles had in Brian Epstein and "it's that trust I want my artists to have in me."[68]
The first album to be produced for the label was a re-make of the Ringo album, rearranged for synthesiser by David Hentschel.[68]
All up, four albums were released on the label between 1975 and 1978 (Startling Music by David Hentschel, Graham Bonnet by Graham Bonnet, Restless by Rab Noakes and a re-release of an Apple Records album, The Whale by John Tavener) as well as 16 singles by artists such as: Bobby Keys, Carl Grossman, Colonel Doug Bogie, David Hentschel, Graham Bonnet, Suzanne, Johnny Warman, Rab Noakes and Dirk & Stig (the last being names of characters from the Beatles' pastiche band the Rutles, created by Eric Idle and Neil Innes).[69]
The company wound up failing because Ringo didn't like the "going to meetings" aspect of things, saying "you'd usually have meetings to decide about the next meeting".[70] The other problem was - while he thought the company had some good artists - the records weren't selling, therefore it was costing him money. It was for those reasons he had to wind up the company.[70]
1980s[link]
In 1980, Harrison wrote "All Those Years Ago" for Starr to sing on his album Can't Fight Lightning, later released as Stop and Smell the Roses. Harrison sang a rewritten version himself, including it on his 1981 album Somewhere in England following Lennon's murder. Starr, along with Paul and Linda McCartney, played on Harrison's version. Ronnie Wood from the Rolling Stones also collaborated with Starr while recording Stop and Smell the Roses, at Cherokee Studios, adding guitar, bass, saxophone, keyboards, and back-up vocals. Starr was interviewed by Rolling Stone and Musician around this time. Stop and Smell the Roses was a well-regarded album, but again did not sell particularly well. During recording of "Stop and Smell the Roses", Lennon had offered Starr a pair of songs to use on Roses: "Nobody Told Me" and "Life Begins at 40". However, following Lennon's murder, Starr did not feel comfortable recording them; the former was released posthumously under Lennon's name on the album Milk and Honey, while the latter's painfully ironic lyrics kept it unissued until 1998's John Lennon Anthology.
After Lennon was murdered in 1980, Starr and his girlfriend Barbara Bach flew to New York City to comfort Lennon's widow Yoko Ono.[71]
From 1984 to 1986, Starr narrated the children's series Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends, a Britt Allcroft production, which was first shown on Central Television and subsequently across the ITV network. He was unsure about taking the role at first, having never previously read the books by Reverend Awdry, and at the time he felt that children would be more interested in "dinosaurs with lasers." Nevertheless, he had a change of heart and took the role, narrating all the episodes in Series 1 and Series 2. Starr also portrayed the character Mr. Conductor in the programme's American spin-off Shining Time Station, which debuted in 1989 on PBS. Starr left after the first season.
In 1985, he performed, with his son Zak Starkey, as part of Artists United Against Apartheid on the recording Sun City.
In 1987, Starr drummed on the George Harrison song "When We Was Fab" from his album Cloud Nine. The song, co-written by Harrison and Jeff Lynne, charted in the Top 30 in both the UK and the USA. The same year, Starr, Harrison and Lynne joined Eric Clapton, Elton John, Phil Collins and Ray Cooper in a performance for the Prince's Trust charity.
In October 1988, Starr and Bach attended a detox clinic in Tucson, Arizona, each receiving a six-week treatment for alcoholism.[72] Starr later complained that it had been difficult to recover with the "press flying overhead" on a constant basis.[73] On 23 July 1989, 'Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band' gave their first performance to an audience of ten thousand in Dallas, Texas.[74] The band consisted of Starr and a varying assortment of musicians who had been successful in their own right with popular songs at different times.[75] The concerts interchanged Starr's singing, including selections of his Beatles and solo songs, with performances of each of the other artists' well-known material, the latter incorporating either Starr or another musician as drummer.[75] The eighth All-Starr Band tour took place in 2003.[76]
In 1989 Starr and his daughter Lee appeared together in a TV ad as part of the "New Generation of Olds" campaign featuring the catchphrase "This is not your father's Oldsmobile."[77]
1990s[link]
The success of the initial All-Starr tour[78] led to the release of Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band, a compilation of live performances from the tour, in the fall of 1990. In the same year, Starr recorded a version of the song "I Call Your Name" for a television special marking the 10th anniversary of John Lennon's death and the 50th anniversary of his birth. The track, produced by Jeff Lynne, features a supergroup composed of Lynne, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh and Jim Keltner.[79]
In 1991, he made an animated appearance as himself in the Simpsons episode "Brush with Greatness" and contributed an original song, "You Never Know", to the soundtrack of the John Hughes film Curly Sue. Starr released his first studio album in nine years, 1992's Time Takes Time. The album was produced by four of the top producers in music: Phil Ramone, Don Was, Jeff Lynne and Peter Asher, and featured guest appearances by various stars including Brian Wilson and Harry Nilsson. In 1995, Starr appeared with Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones and Peter Tork of the Monkees in a Pizza Hut commercial. In the commercial, he claims he is trying to reunite "the lads." The commercial ends with the three Monkees joining Starr. He looks into the camera and says "wrong lads."[80]
In 1997, Starr guested on drums on two songs on the McCartney album Flaming Pie. McCartney had written a song about Starr's ex-wife Maureen Starkey Tigrett ("Little Willow")[81] and asked Starr if he'd play on another ("Beautiful Night"). The day after the "Beautiful Night" session, the two recorded a jam session, which developed into another Flaming Pie song, "Really Love You," notable for being the first song ever credited to McCartney/Starkey and officially released on an album.[82] In 1998, he released two albums on the Mercury label. The studio album Vertical Man marked the beginning of a nine-year "partnership" with Mark Hudson, who produced the album and, with his band the Roundheads, formed the core of the backing group for the album. In addition, many "famous guests" joined on various tracks, including Martin, McCartney, and—in his final appearance on a Starr album before his death—Harrison. Most of the songs were written by Starr and the band. The Roundheads and Joe Walsh joined Starr for his appearance on VH1 Storytellers, which was released as an album under the same name. On the show, he performed greatest hits and new songs, and told anecdotes relating to them.[83]
2000s[link]
In 2000, he appeared in a television commercial for Charles Schwab Investments. As he sits with a group of young musicians trying to find a word that rhymes with "elation", Ringo suggests such financial terms as "dividend reinvestment participation", "market capitalisation" and "asset allocation". As the song "Money" plays in the background, the musicians stare at him in confusion. He finally says, "What? Too many syllables?"[84][85][86][87]
In 2002, Starr was inducted into the Percussive Arts Society Hall of Fame joining an elite group of percussive inductees, which includes Buddy Rich and William F. Ludwig, Sr. and Jr.
On 29 November 2002 (the first anniversary of George Harrison's death), Starr performed "Photograph" and a cover of Carl Perkins' "Honey Don't" at the Concert for George held in the Royal Albert Hall, London. According to the official Concert for George website, "Ringo Starr caught everyone with a tear in their eye with a rendition of 'Photograph', a composition he wrote with George, which seemed to sum up how everyone felt." The song includes the lines, "Every time I see your face / it reminds me of the places we used to go / But all I've got is a photograph / and I realise you're not coming back any more".
In 2003, Starr formed Pumkinhead Records with All-Starr Band member Mark Hudson.[88] The label was not prolific, but their first signing was Liam Lynch, who produced a 2003 LP entitled Fake Songs.
Starr was an "honorary Santa Tracker" and voice over for the London stop in Father Christmas's annual Christmas Eve journey in 2003 and 2004 as depicted in the annual NORAD tracks Santa program. According to NORAD officials, he was "a Starr in the east" who helped guide North American Aerospace Defense Command's Santa-tracking tradition.[89]
In September 2005, Liverpool City Council decided to bulldoze 9 Madryn Street, Starr's birthplace, as it had 'no historical significance',[90] despite a previous reprieve back in July.[91] The LCC later announced that the building would be taken apart brick by brick and preserved after all.[92]
In 2006, Starr featured on the Jerry Lee Lewis duet album, Last Man Standing; he performed a cover, with Lewis, of Chuck Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen".[93] It was also announced he would be the star in a Pow! Entertainment animated film and comic book produced by comics creator Stan Lee.[94]
In the 24 December 2007 issue of Time (European edition), Starr was profiled in a three-page article focusing on his happiness in life and his music. The article mentioned the Liverpool 8 album, but only briefly. It also stated that Starr and Dave Stewart were collaborating on writing a musical, to be called The Hole in the Fence, and discussed Starr's then-upcoming performance in Liverpool on 11 January 2008.[95]
In January 2008, the studio album Liverpool 8, produced by Dave Stewart, Mark Hudson and Starr himself, was released. Mark Hudson was the initial producer of the record but was replaced by Stewart after a falling out with Starr. (The album's production credits read, "Produced by Ringo Starr and Mark Hudson; Re-Produced by Ringo Starr and David Stewart." All of the songs but one were written with members of the Roundheads, although Stewart also has several co-writing credits.) Starr's attorney Bruce Grakal told journalist Peter Palmiere that the partnership between Hudson and Starr was over and they would never work together again. This happened after Hudson dropped out of the 2006 tour as musical director to do the TV show The One: Making a Music Star. According to Palmiere, Hudson now claims that the split was over Starr's insistence on using synthesised sounds, for which Stewart is known, whereas Hudson wanted real guitars, pianos, strings etc.[96]
On 10 October 2008, Starr posted a video on his website stating that he would not be signing autographs after 20 October 2008. He stated that he is too busy and that anything after that date sent to any address will not be signed.[97]
On 4 April 2009, Starr reunited with McCartney at the David Lynch "Change Begins Within" Benefit Concert at Radio City Music Hall. After separate performances from Starr and other artists, McCartney's set came last, and towards the end he announced "Billy Shears", whereupon Starr joined him to perform "With a Little Help from My Friends" and, with all performers, "I Saw Her Standing There" and "Cosmically Conscious".[98] In late May 2009, it was announced that Starr will collaborate with Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney to record some new tracks to record an entire album.[99][100][101]
Starr appeared on-stage at Microsoft's 1 June 2009 E3 press conference with Yoko Ono, McCartney and Olivia Harrison to promote The Beatles: Rock Band video game.[102]
Starr remains the only Beatle not to top the UK singles charts as a solo artist, although he did chart two number one singles in the US. He is also the only Beatle not to top the UK album listings, his highest position being No.7, achieved in the UK with both Sentimental Journey and Ringo; the latter reached No.2 in the US charts, giving Starr his highest album position there. In the USA, Starr's Apple singles fared rather well. Of all four members of the Beatles - in their respective solo careers - he has the second most consecutive top ten singles in the US with seven in a row: "It Don't Come Easy" (No.4), "Back Off Boogaloo" (No.9), "Photograph" (No.1), "You're Sixteen" (No.1), "Oh My My" (No.5), "Only You (And You Alone)" (No.6) and "No No Song" (No.3). McCartney has the most with eight in a row.
In November 2009, Starr once again performed the voice of Thomas the Tank Engine for "The Official BBC Children in Need Medley". This is the first No.1 UK hit Starr has been involved in since the Beatles disbanded in 1970 (not counting guest appearances on other singles by other artists).[103]
2010s[link]
On 12 January 2010, he released his fifteenth studio album Y Not. On 13 January 2010, Starr and his band performed "Walk With You" from the album on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and closed out the show with a rousing rendition of "With a Little Help from My Friends". Starr also appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, performing with Ben Harper. Starr was also featured on The Jay Leno Show, where he played "The Other Side of Liverpool". On 22 January 2010, Starr appeared on Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief as a Celebrity phone operator.[104] Starr appeared at the 52nd Grammy Awards with Norah Jones to present 'Record Of The Year' to Kings Of Leon on 31 January 2010 .
On 11 April 2010, Starr appeared on Weekend Wogan, a live radio show on BBC 2 Radio presented by Sir Terry Wogan, to promote his album Y Not in the UK and on 12 April 2010 he appeared on Loose Women, a lunchtime chat show on ITV. On 13 April 2010 Starr appeared on CNN's Connect the World on CNN International. On 7 July 2010, Starr celebrated his 70th birthday at Radio City Music Hall, New York with another All-Starr Band concert, topped with friends and family joining him on stage including Yoko Ono and his son Zak, and Paul McCartney as a surprise guest.[105]
On 13 May 2011, Starr appeared on The One Show on BBC One, where he announced that he was working on a new album featuring a song called "In Liverpool".
Starr contributed a cover of Buddy Holly's "Think It Over" for the tribute album Listen to Me: Buddy Holly, which was released on 6 September 2011.
On 30 January 2012, he released the album, Ringo 2012. On 27 March 2012 was released Ray Wylie Hubbard's new album The Grifter's Hymnal, on which Ringo also played.[106]
Personal life[link]
Starr married Maureen Cox on 11 February 1965[107] and they had three children Zak (born 13 September 1965), Jason (born 19 August 1967) and Lee (born 11 November 1970); the couple divorced in 1975,[108] and Cox died in 1994.[109] In 1980, on the set of the film Caveman, he met actress Barbara Bach,[110] well known for her role as Major Anya Amasova (female lead and main 'Bond girl') in The Spy Who Loved Me. They were married on 27 April 1981, just a few weeks after the release of Caveman.[111] In 1985, Starr was the first of the Beatles to become a grandfather upon the birth of Zak's daughter, Tatia Jayne Starkey.[112]
Zak Starkey is also a drummer, who until August 2008 was a semi-official member of Oasis—one of the many bands influenced by the Beatles. Starr arranged for Zak to receive drumming instruction from Zak's idol, the Who's drummer Keith Moon, who was Zak's godfather and a close friend of Starr's.[113] Zak also performs with the Who live (such as during the Super Bowl XLIV Halftime show in 2010) and sometimes in the studio. Zak has performed with his father during some All-Starr Band tours.[114]
Like fellow ex-Beatle McCartney, Starr is a vegetarian,[115][116] albeit for different reasons. McCartney is vegetarian for ethical reasons, but in Starr's case it is because of stomach problems he had in the past.[116] As a child, Starr was left-handed until he became ambidextrous when his grandmother forced him to write with his right hand because she thought it was a witch spell for people to be left handed.[117][118]
In the Sunday Times Rich List 2011 Starr was listed at number 56 with an estimated personal wealth of £150m.[119] Starr and Bach split their time between homes in Cranleigh, Surrey;[120] Los Angeles;[121] and Monte Carlo.
Films[link]
Aside from the Beatles' films A Hard Day's Night (1964), Help! (1965), Magical Mystery Tour (1967), Yellow Submarine (1968), Let It Be (1970), Starr has acted in several films such as Candy (1968), The Magic Christian (1969) (alongside Peter Sellers), Blindman (1971), Son of Dracula (1974) and Caveman (1981). Starr directed and appeared in Born to Boogie (1972), a concert film featuring Marc Bolan and T.Rex. For the 1979 documentary film on the Who, The Kids Are Alright, Starr appeared in interview segments with fellow drummer Keith Moon. He starred as Larry the Dwarf in Frank Zappa's 200 Motels (1971). His voice is also featured in Harry Nilsson's animated film The Point! (1971). He appeared in The Last Waltz, the Martin Scorsese film about the 1976 farewell concert of the Band, a favourite of the Beatles. He co-starred in That'll Be the Day (1973) as a Teddy Boy.[122] He played 'The Pope' in Ken Russell's Lisztomania (1975),[123] and a fictionalised version of himself in the Paul McCartney-penned Give My Regards to Broad Street in 1984.[124]
Awards and recognition[link]
In the Queen's Birthday Honours of 12 June 1965, Starr and the three other Beatles were appointed Members of the Order of the British Empire (MBE);[125] they received their insignia from Queen Elizabeth II at an investiture at Buckingham Palace on 26 October. He and the other Beatles were cumulatively nominated for a BAFTA Award for Best Newcomer for their performances in the 1964 film A Hard Day's Night. The Beatles won the Academy Award for 'Best Original Song Score' for the 1970 film Let It Be. Each Beatle received an Oscar statuette.
The minor planet 4150 Starr, discovered on 31 August 1984 by Brian A. Skiff at the Anderson Mesa Station of the Lowell Observatory, was named in his honour.[126] Starr was nominated for a 1989 Daytime Emmy Award for 'Outstanding Performer in a Children's Series' for his role as Mr. Conductor in the television series Shining Time Station.
All four of the Beatles were elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when the group was inducted in 1988.[127] Since then, Lennon (1994), McCartney (1999) and Harrison (2004) have been inducted for their solo careers as well. Starr remains the only Beatle not inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for his solo career. However, it was announced on 5 September 2007 that Starr would be on the ballot for membership in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist.[128]
During the 50th Grammy Awards, Starr, George Martin and Giles Martin accepted the Best Compilation Soundtrack award for Love.
On 9 November 2008, Starr accepted a Diamond Award on behalf of the Beatles during the 2008 World Music Awards ceremony in Monaco.
On 8 February 2010, Starr was honoured with the 2,401st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. It is located at 1750 North Vine Street, in front of the Capitol Records building, as are the stars for Lennon, McCartney and Harrison.[129]

All-Starr Band editions[link]
For a detailed list of bands and members, see Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band.
To date, Starr has toured with eleven versions of his All-Starr Band, where "everybody on stage is a star in their own right."[130] The band has consistently toured for over a decade, and, in similar fashion to Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings, rotates its line-up depending on the musicians' projects at a given time.
