Sharmila Tagore (born 8 December 1946) is an Indian film actress. She has won National Film Awards and Filmfare Awards for her performances. She has led the Indian Film Censor Board from October 2004 till March 2011. In December 2005 she was chosen as an UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.
Sharmila was born in a Hindu Bengali family in Hyderabad State to Gitindranath Tagore who was then deputy general manager of the East India Company owner of Elgin Mills. Gitindranath was the son of Kanakendranath Tagore who is the son of noted painter Gaganendranath Tagore. She attended St. John's Diocesan Girls' Higher Secondary School and Loreto Convent, Asansol. She is the great-grand niece of noted poet Rabindranath Tagore.
Sharmila began her career as an actress in Satyajit Ray's 1959 Bengali film Apur Sansar (The World of Apu), as the ill-fated bride of the title character. She appeared in a number of Ray films, often co-starring with Soumitra Chatterjee.
James Joseph Brown (May 3, 1933 – December 25, 2006) was an American singer, songwriter, musician, and recording artist. He is the originator of funk music and is a major figure of 20th century popular music and dance.
In a career that spanned decades, Brown profoundly influenced the development of many different musical genres. Brown moved on a continuum of blues and gospel-based forms and styles to a profoundly "Africanized" approach to music making. Brown performed in concerts, first making his rounds across the Chitlin' Circuit, and then across the country and later around the world, along with appearing in shows on television and in movies. Although he contributed much to the music world through his hitmaking, Brown holds the record as the artist who charted the most singles on the Billboard Hot 100 without ever hitting number one on that chart.
For many years, Brown's touring show was one of the most extravagant productions in American popular music. At the time of Brown's death, his band included three guitarists, two bass guitar players, two drummers, three horns and a percussionist. The bands that he maintained during the late 1960s and 1970s were of comparable size, and the bands also included a three-piece amplified string section that played during ballads. Brown employed between 40 and 50 people for the James Brown Revue, and members of the revue traveled with him in a bus to cities and towns all over the country, performing upwards of 330 shows a year with almost all of the shows as one-nighters. In 1986, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and in 1990 into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
(Facchinetti-Negrini)
Devo stare attento e so perché
rivisitando col pensiero gli anni miei fin qui
da un po' di tempo io
mi difendo segno è
che al mio mondo
nuove ombre da l'età.
Ripercorro a volte certe vie
di nuovi eroi riveste i suoi silenzi la città
e io non ci credo più
seguo forse solo ormai l'esperienza
quanti dubbi ho però.
Ho una casa sono un uomo
fra la gente quanti amici miei
si sono arresi.
Già vicini
fino a ieri in cadute
e in risvegli ormai sono stranieri.
Piccola donna dieci anni di meno
con la tua rabbia orgogliosa nel seno
mentre mi scarti e mi dici "sei fuori"
credi che i tuoi siano giorni migliori.
Questa sera hai detto che verrai
e nella mia esperienza sono certo che verrai
ma so per altro che
ti nascondi qui da me
non mi senti
solo il corpo tuo mi dai.
Sei nemica
mi rinneghi
qui mi segui
nel tuo mondo no
sono nessuno.
Dalla tua parte
come una sfida
mi viene amore
ed anche se non vuoi
è proprio amore.
Ti sei mai chiesta
chi inventava
questo tuo mondo
nel sessantasei
che apri la strada.
Guardami adesso
senza paura
odiami solo
se un giorno tu vedrai
