William Horatio Powell (July 29, 1892 – March 5, 1984) was an American actor.
A major star at MGM, he was paired with Myrna Loy in 14 films, including the popular Thin Man series based on the novels of Dashiell Hammett in which Powell and Loy played Nick and Nora Charles. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor three times: for The Thin Man (1934), My Man Godfrey (1936), and Life with Father (1947). William Powell was not related to David Powell, Dick Powell, Eleanor Powell, or Jane Powell.
An only child, Powell was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the son of Nettie Manila (née Brady) and Horatio Warren Powell, on July 29, 1892. His father was born in West Middlesex, Pennsylvania (where William H. Powell spent his boyhood summers), to William S. and Harriet Powell. Powell showed an early aptitude for performing. In 1907, he moved with his family to Kansas City, Missouri, where he graduated from Central High School in 1910. The Powells lived a few blocks away from the Carpenters, whose daughter Harlean evolved into Hollywood's Jean Harlow, although Powell would not meet her until both were established actors.
Nicholas Charles Nickeas (June 30, 1946 – June 25, 2011), better known as Nick Charles, was an American sportscaster and journalist. He was one of CNN's first on-air personalities and won threeCableACE Awards for best sports program during his 17-year tenure as co-host of the network's Sports Tonight. He was a graduate of Columbia College Chicago.
Charles started his career as a sportscaster at local television stations. He worked the nightly sports desk at WICS, in Springfield, Illinois, where Fred Hickman his future co-anchor at CNN began his career. He worked at WTOP Radio and WRC-TV in Washington, D.C. as sports director. At WJZ-TV in Baltimore, Maryland, he won an Associated Press award for investigative journalism.
Charles was the first sports anchor for CNN in 1980. He co-hosted CNN Sports Tonight with Fred Hickman, and later hosted his own program, Page One with Nick Charles until leaving the network in 2001.

Since I've been gone
You've had your number changed
But my love for you, girl
Still remains the same
Now I've been loving you
And you've been loving me
So long, baby, what's wrong
So I'm asking baby, baby, baby
Please let me have your number, yeah
Baby, baby, baby
Please let me have your number
I'm sorry you couldn't call me
When you got home
But other fellows kept on calling
While you were gone
So I had the number changed
But I'm not acting strange
Welcome home, nothing's wrong
So I'm saying, baby, baby, baby
You can have my private number
Baby, baby, baby
You can have my private number
Oh, thank you
Baby, baby, baby
You can have my private number
Thank you, baby
Baby, baby, baby
For giving me your private number
You can have it
Thank you, baby
(Baby, baby, baby)
You can have it
Thank you, baby
Anytime you want it
Thank you, baby
She?s my kind of girl
The girl?s alright with me, yeah
She?s my kind of girl
How lucky can one man be
Ooh, I take her out to have a good time
She lets me know that she?s mine all mine
When we?re together and she squeezes me
A single touch from her is ecstasy, oh yeah
I like the way she holds me
Oh, oh, she?s alright with me
She?s my kind of girl
How lucky can one man be, yeah
I took her home the other day
Her sister and brother asked me if I?d stay
I met her mother and daddy too
I felt at home, they did everything they could do, oh yeah
They?re my kind of people
And oh, oh, they?re alright with me
She?s my kind of girl
And how lucky can one man be
She?s my kind of girl
Oh, oh, she?s alright with me
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Well, if I didn't, darlin', I'm sorry
Did I reach out and hold you in my loving arms
Oh, when you needed me?
Now I realize that you need love too
And I'll spend my life making love to you
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
Have I taken the time to share with you
All the burden that love will fare?
And have I done the little simple things to show you
Just how much I care?
Oh, I've been workin' for you doin' all I can
To work all the time didn't make me a man
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you somehow, baby
I forgot to be your lover
Gonna make it up to you somehow
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, baby
Everyday will be like a holiday
When my baby
When my baby comes home
Now she's been gone
For such a long time
Ever since she's been gone
She been on my mind
I got a letter today
Just about noon
She said, "Don't worry
I'll be home soon"
And everyday will be like a holiday
When my baby
When my baby comes home
I'll never have to worry
About sitting by the phone
When she gets here
I'll never be alone
She said she'd get here
Sometime today
I know when she gets here
She'll never go away
And everyday will be like a holiday
When my baby
When my baby comes home
Oh, everyday will be like a holiday
When my baby
Every man I know is working everyday
For a woman somewhere
If she's a woman that's true
There ain't nothing he won't do to show her how much he cares
'Cause some men will cry for it
Some men will lie for it
Some men will even go out an' die for it
All for the love of a woman
Talkin' 'bout the love of a woman
It means everything to a man
Now a rich man, a poor man, it's all the same
Love and happiness is the name of their game
And it makes no difference if they are young or old
He need a woman just to reach his goal
Oh, 'cause some men will kill for it
Some men will steal for it
Some men will even do a dirty rotten deal for it
All for the love of a woman
Talkin' 'bout the love of a woman
It means everything to a man
Oh baby
Talkin' about the love of a sweet little woman like you
Now a young man or old man or a middle age one too
For the love of a woman there ain't nothing they won't do
She loved one and reject him up
Trouble is comin' you better run for cover
Oh, 'cause some men will kill for it
Some men will steal for it
Some men will even do a dirty rotten deal
All for the love of a woman
I'm talkin' 'bout the love of a woman
It means everything to a man
Talkin' about the love of a sweet little woman like you
Every man I know what I'm talking about
We work two jobs seven days a week
Spend every diamond one night, take your woman out
It may not be your woman
But you're taking somebody else's woman
Every thing a man loves
You're sittin' here, all wrapped up in my arms
But your mind seems to be a mile away
And now and then you say umm hmm and aha
When you don't even know what I'm about to say
A penny for your thoughts, girl
A penny for your thoughts
Last night I called, they said you were out
I thought maybe you had gone to the grocery store
Now I know that you went on a lil' bit farther
'Coz I never saw you act this way before
A penny for your thoughts, girl
A penny for your thoughts
So bad I wanna ask you what's really on your mind
But I'm afraid of what the answer might be
Now I've always been told that love is blind
But I'd rather be blind than see you walk on away from me
So I close my eyes to what I know is goin' on
Just as long as I know that it makes you happy
'Coz in my eyes, girl, you can do no wrong
Just as long as you keep on givin' your love to me
A penny for your thoughts, girl
A penny for your thoughts
Oh, I wanna know [Incomprehensible]
A penny for your thoughts
Oh, I wanna know, I wanna know, what's on your mind
But I'm afraid of what the answer will be
Penny for your thoughts, girl
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts
