Sacred Heart

The devotion to the Sacred Heart (also known as the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Sacratissimi Cordis Iesu in Latin) is one of the most widely practiced and well-known Roman Catholic devotions, taking Jesus Christ's physical heart as the representation of His divine love for humanity.

This devotion is predominantly used in the Roman Catholic Church and among some high-church Anglicans and Lutherans. The devotion is especially concerned with what the Church deems to be the love and compassion of the heart of Christ towards humanity, and its long suffering. The origin of this devotion in its modern form is derived from a Roman Catholic nun from France, Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque, who said she learned the devotion from Jesus during a series of apparitions to her between 1673 and 1675, and later, in the 19th century, from the mystical revelations of another Roman Catholic nun in Portugal, Blessed Mary of the Divine Heart Droste zu Vischering, a religious of the Good Shepherd, who requested, in the name of Christ that Pope Leo XIII consecrate the entire world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Predecessors to the modern devotion arose unmistakably in the Middle Ages in various facets of Catholic mysticism.

Sacred Heart (Shakespears Sister album)

Sacred Heart is the debut studio album by the British pop act Shakespears Sister, released on 21 August 1989 by FFRR Records. The album was recorded after Siobhan Fahey decided to leave girl group Bananarama. Initially intended as a solo project for Fahey, Shakespears Sister became a partnership of Fahey and Marcella Detroit during the making of the album. The album spawned 5 singles, including the North American stand-alone release of "Heroine". The single "You're History", released in July 1989, reached No. 7 on the UK charts and was the first release to present the act as a duo. The album peaked at No. 9 on the UK albums chart, and was certificated gold by the BPI.

Background

Shakespears Sister was the first musical outing of Siobhan Fahey after leaving the successful girl group Bananarama in 1988. Fahey began working on Sacred Heart the same year with producer Richard Feldman, who later invited Marcella Detroit to collaborate as a songwriter. Detroit continued to work with Fahey as a "hired hand" until Fahey's husband, David A. Stewart suggested the two form a band, which was supported by Feldman, Fahey's management and her record company.

Sacred Heart (Dio album)

Sacred Heart is Dio's third studio album. It was released in August 15, 1985 on Warner Bros. Records. The record peaked at No. 29 on the Billboard 200 chart. It is one of Dio's most well-known albums, and includes singles such as "Sacred Heart", "Rock 'n' Roll Children" and "Hungry for Heaven".

This was the last Dio album to include guitarist Vivian Campbell, who was fired midway through the album's tour. Campbell went on to join several other bands, most notably Def Leppard, Riverdogs, Whitesnake and Thin Lizzy. A rift occurred during the recording of this album between Dio and the guitarist - "...for me, he (Viv) wasn't even there for this record." The album, along with Holy Diver and The Last in Line, was released in a new 2-CD Deluxe Edition on March 19, 2012 through Universal for worldwide distribution outside the U.S.

Tour

The accompanying stageshow was a spectacle involving a mechanised dragon and laser effects, as captured on the VHS (and later DVD reissue) Sacred Heart "The Video". Ronnie James Dio and his band referred to the dragon as Denzil (although originally it was called Dean).

Jumbo (band)

Jumbo is the name of an Avanzada Regia Alternative rock band from Monterrey, Mexico.

They were founded in May 1997 with the following lineup:

History

In the early 90's, before the creation of Jumbo, Castillo, Charly, Eddie, Chuy Guerra, Javier Othón and René Garza formed a band called "Blueswagen" which played mainly covers of bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, Pink Floyd, R.E.M., U2, The Police, Lenny Kravitz, Stone Temple Pilots and Red Hot Chili Peppers. They started gaining more fans and an increasing popularity, which led to playing bars and clubs and recording many demos. BMG obtained one of the demos and started looking for them. Later the band signed with them.

Jumbo (magazine)

Jumbo was a weekly comic magazine published in Italy from 1932 to 1938.

The magazine was founded by Lotario Vecchi and had a large commercial success, with an average circulation of about 300,000 copies per week. It mainly consisted of British comics, starting from the title character Tiger Tim (renamed as Jumbo), a comic strip series created by Julius Stafford Baker and taken over by Herbert Sydney Foxwell. A key role in the success of the magazine was also played by Rob the Rover, an adventure comic series by Walter Henry Booth which was translated as Lucio L'avanguardista (i.e. "The young avantgarde Lucio") and whose main character was adapted as a fascist airman. It also introduced to the Italian audience several notable American comics including Rex Maxon's Tarzan and Ace Drummond. It closed after the banning of the foreign comics ordered by Fascist MinCulPop in 1938.

Notes

Jumbo (Bee Gees song)

"Jumbo" is a song released by the Bee Gees, written by Barry, Robin & Maurice Gibb. It was released as a double A side with "The Singer Sang His Song"but featured as the lead track in some territories.

Origin

"Jumbo" was recorded on January 10 during sessions for the album Idea (though it was not included on the album) on the same day as "Gena's Theme" and "Bridges Crossing Rivers" (neither of which saw release until the remastered edition of Idea in 2006). The song has a strong emphasis on guitar with two tracks laid down by Vince Melouney

Release

The decision on which song would be the A side came so late that many British singles have "The Singer Sang his Song" marked as the A-side, but "Jumbo" was promoted as the A-side instead. This single broke the series of major Bee Gees hits, and fell into obscurity as neither side was on the next album nor was "Jumbo" on Best of Bee Gees in 1969. The two songs only resurfaced on unofficial compilations and boxed sets. The song reached #25 in the British charts and #57 in the American charts and Barry said:
