JUST THE WAY YOU ARE ~ BILLY JOEL

*****************************
Grammy Song Of the Year 1979
*****************************

Just the Way You Are" is a love song from Billy Joel's 1977 pop rock album, The Stranger. It was written as a birthday gift to Joel's first wife, Elizabeth Weber. After they divorced, Joel said that when performing the song, he would imagine what he would eat for dinner or what he would do after the show, or even accidentally sing alternate lyrics written by Liberty DeVitto ("She took the dog, the house, the car"). "Just the Way You Are" was Joel's first US Top 10 (reaching #3) and UK Top 20 single, as well as Joel's first Gold single in the US. "Just the Way You Are" won the 1978 Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. Joel has gone on record stating that he personally dislikes the song and was originally going to leave it off the album.[citation needed] However, at the request of both Linda Ronstadt and Phoebe Snow (both were recording in other studios in the same building at the time), Joel and Ramone agreed to leave it on the album. Since its initial release, the song has been covered by such notable performers as Barry White, Diana Krall, Ahmad Jamal, Shirley Bassey, Frank Sinatra, Isaac Hayes, Will Martin, and Harry Connick, Jr..

Every Man's Dream

Car is definitely what every man is dreaming to have. If women are more into shoes and bags, men like us are more into gadgets and cars. However, cars are more expensive then any other jewelries, shoes, bags and accessories. It can be as expensive as a house unit. That’s why we almost treat cars as a great investment. Buying a car is not a laughing matter. It is really something that you have to work hard for in order to afford it. Well, good thing there are also car dealers that are open for paying installments which will help you to own a car even though you’re budget is not yet enough to pay it cash. This is also the reason why most car owners are applying for an auto insurance. Getting an insurance like the auto insurance Vancouver WA has is highly recommendable especially for those who are not yet fully paid for their cars. This will help them to hedge the risk of a possible devastating loss which may include car accidents and other related scenarios.

YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE ~ DEBBY BOONE

*****************************
Grammy Song Of the Year 1978
*****************************

"You Light Up My Life" is a ballad written by Joe Brooks and originally recorded by Kasey Cisyk for the soundtrack to the film of the same name. The song was performed in the film by its lead, Didi Conn, who lip synched Cisyk's version. Pat Boone's daughter, Debby Boone, was recruited to record the single, which became a massive success, topping the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a record-setting ten consecutive weeks. It easily became the most successful single of the 1970s in the United States and set a new Hot 100 record for longest reign at No.1. (Elvis Presley's double-sided "Don't Be Cruel/Hound Dog", then recognized as the longest-running No.1 of the Rock Era, spent 11 weeks atop the Billboard Best Sellers chart in 1956, before the debut of the Hot 100.) The record was matched in 1982 by Olivia Newton-John's Physical, but never surpassed until a 1991 change in chart methodology allowed songs to achieve longer reigns at No.1 ("End of the Road" by Boyz II Men set the new record, 13 weeks). The single, which was certified platinum by the RIAA, also hit #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart and even reached #4 on the Country chart. Although written by Brooks as a love song, the devout Boone interpreted the song as inspirational and proclaimed that it was instead God who "lit up her life."



I WRITE THE SONGS ~ BARRY MANILOW

*****************************
Grammy Song Of the Year 1977
*****************************

"I Write the Songs" is a popular song written by Bruce Johnston in 1975 and made famous by Barry Manilow. Manilow's version reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in January 1976 after spending two weeks atop the Billboard adult contemporary chart in December 1975. The song won a Grammy Award for Song of the Year and was nominated for Record of the Year in 1977 and became one of Manilow's signature songs. Manilow was initially reluctant to record the song, stating in his autobiography Sweet Life: "The problem with the song was that if you didn't listen carefully to the lyric, you would think that the singer was singing about himself. It could be misinterpreted as a monumental ego trip." After persuasion by Clive Davis, then president of Arista Records, Manilow relented and recorded the song, and his version of "I Write the Songs" was the first single taken from the album Tryin' to Get the Feeling. It first charted on the Billboard Hot 100 on November 15, 1975, reaching the top of the chart nine weeks later, on January 17, 1976.

SEND IN THE CLOWNS ~ JUDY COLLINS

*****************************
Grammy Song Of the Year 1976
*****************************

"Send in the Clowns" is a song by Stephen Sondheim from the 1973 musical A Little Night Music, an adaptation of Ingmar Bergman's film Smiles of a Summer Night. It is a ballad from Act II in which the character Desirée reflects on the ironies and disappointments of her life. Among other things, she looks back on an affair years earlier with the lawyer Fredrik. Meeting him after so long, she finds that he is now in an unconsummated marriage with a much younger woman. Desirée proposes marriage to rescue him from this situation, but he declines, citing his dedication to his bride. Reacting to his rejection, Desirée sings this song. The song is later reprised as a coda after Fredrik's young wife runs away with his son, and Fredrik is finally free to accept Desirée's offer. Sondheim wrote the song specifically for the actress Glynis Johns, who created the role of Desirée on Broadway. The song is structured with four verses and a bridge, and uses a complex triple meter. It became Sondheim's most popular song after Judy Collins and Frank Sinatra recorded it in 1975. In 1975, Judy Collins recorded "Send In the Clowns" and included it in her album, Judith. The song was released as a single, which soon became a major pop hit. It remained on the Billboard Hot 100 for 11 weeks in 1975, reaching Number 36. Then, in 1977, the song again reached the Billboard Hot 100, where it remained for 16 weeks and reached Number 19. At the Grammy Awards of 1976, the Judy Collins performance of the song was named "Song of the Year".

It was subsequently covered by numerous other artists. The song was popularized by Roberta Flack and became a breakout hit for the singer after it appeared in the film Play Misty for Me.

BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER~ SIMON AND GARFUNKEL

*****************************
Grammy Song Of the Year 1971
*****************************

"Bridge over Troubled Water" is the title song of Simon & Garfunkel's final album together, released January 26, 1970, though it also appears on the live album "Simon & Garfunkel, Live 1969." It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on February 28, 1970, and stayed at the top of the chart for six weeks. "Bridge over Troubled Water" also topped the adult contemporary chart in the U.S. for six weeks.This song's recording process exposed many of the underlying tensions that eventually led to the breakup of the duo after the album's completion. Most notably, Paul Simon has repeatedly expressed regret over his insistence that Art Garfunkel sing this song as a solo, as it focused attention on Garfunkel and relegated Simon to a secondary position. Art Garfunkel initially did not want to sing lead vocal, feeling it was not right for him. "He felt I should have done it," Paul Simon revealed to Rolling Stone in 1972.Garfunkel said that the moment when he performed it at a 1972 Madison Square Garden benefit concert, as part of a one-off reunion with Simon, was "almost biblical."In performances on the 2003 "Old Friends" tour, Simon and Garfunkel have taken turns singing alternate verses of the vocal. Rolling Stone named it number 47 on The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The single won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year and Song of the Year in the Grammy Awards of 1971, with its album also winning several awards in the same year.

Grammy Song Of the Year 1967
*****************************

Michelle" is a love ballad by The Beatles, mainly written by Paul McCartney, which is featured on their Rubber Soul album. The song departs from most of The Beatles' other recordings in that some of the lyrics are in French. "Michelle" won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year in 1966, and has become one of the most famous Beatles songs in France. "Michelle" won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year in 1966. The song's win over standard fare "Born Free", "The Impossible Dream", "Somewhere My Love" and "Strangers in the Night" was seen as something of a triumph for The Beatles, who had in 1965 been nominated, but were unsuccessful, in nine categories. In 1999, BMI named "Michelle" as the 42nd most performed song of the 20th century. "Michelle" was performed by McCartney throughout his 1993 world tour.

Cosmetic Surgery

Will you ever consider undergoing cosmetic surgery just to have the body that you desire to have? Well, for me there’s nothing really wrong in cosmetic surgery. Some of you might say that we should have what so-called “Contentment” but believe me guys, contentment will not save you from being insulted and being teased. I have a friend who undergone such surgery and we saw a big improvement on her not just physically but also they way she socialize with others. Cosmetic surgery comes with wide variety. There are different kinds of Cosmetic surgery including rhinoplasty, liposuction, male organ enhancement, breast augmentation and more. The procedure is now very common especially in California. The california cosmetic surgery offers huge variety of treatment including the well known beverly hills rhinoplasty procedure being offered by The Rodeo Drive Cosmetic clinic. Rhinoplasty is a procedure where nose are being reconstructed based on the customer’s preferences. If your nose is too short or too long, then let it be reconstructed and make it more appealing to you. In fact, I just went to their official site to see what’s new. The Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery is well known for providing quality service and very satisfying results for their costumers. No wonder why a lot of my friends are buzzing about it. If you are worrying about your flabs, then you can also try tummy tuck in Beverly Hills to get rid of those unwanted stomach flabs and get ripped in no time. Overall, for me, it is okay to undergo cosmetic surgery as long as you will be dealing with the right and well trained surgeons. Do not ever take the risk and always observe or else you will be living in a nightmare forever. Seek advises from the experts and let them recommend you the best options for you.

I Need Payday Loans

This is my HP laptop and I’ve been using this for years now and I guess it is the right time for me to replace it and buy a brand new one. My sister Mirasol has been requesting me to buy her a laptop but I just keep on refusing to her request because we all know how expensive the laptop is. I just told her that when I bought a new one, I will give the old one to her and I think, looking at her face, it satisfies her. I guess I need to apply for payday loans in order to buy a new one. Well, my budget is enough for me and for my daily expenses but I don’t have enough money to buy other stuffs like this. Most of my colleagues are buzzing about these payday loans which make me really more interested to apply for it. Well, payday loans are not that big compare to other loans which is good because it will be easy for you to pay your bills without worrying about the monthly payments. Some lending companies are deducting your payment directly from your monthly salary. You can even apply for payday loans online. Anyway, I’m sure Mirasol will be very happy as soon as she finds out that I will b buying a brand new lappie.

A Car Accident on the road

There was such a huge and heavy traffic yesterday. We were actually on the way back to our office after our Manager Miss Nelie assigned us to make a product inventory check on the other branch near us. However, there was this horrifying accident on the road which caused the heavy traffic. I have seen the place of the accident and it was a bit shocking! We saw a man lying down on the floor being knocked down after getting hit by a car. He was riding on a motor cycle. I just don't know how all this event get started but after it was being published in the newspaper today, i found out that it was the car owners fault. The driver was over speeding and failed to notice the motorcycle ahead of him. But the weird thing here is that, instead of apologizing, the driver of the car still depending himself and planning to sue the motorcycle which is quite unfair to me. And one more thing! The car owner is connected to a highly appointed official which make me quite worried wheter the driver of the motorcycle, who is obviously the victim here will win the case or not. I think he better seek for something like the Personal Injury Lawyer Albany OR has. They will ensure that all the victims of such kind of unlawful accidents will get the best chances of winning the case and let them achieve the justice that they deserve. Anyway i have learned one good lesson here, Always keep yourself ready because any time and anywhere, accidents can happen so be prepared and insure yourself!
