Music

Dear Sir,

In the future, no one will be allowed to add to or subtract from a recording of one of my songs without my permission.

I had considered orchestrating ‘The Long And Winding Road’ but I had decided against it. I, therefore, want it altered to these specifications:-

1. Strings, horns, voices, and all added noises to be reduced in volume.
2. Vocal and Beatle instrumentation to be brought up in volume.
3. The harp to be removed completely at the end of the song and the original piano notes are to be substituted.
4. Don’t ever do it again!

• 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
• 2. Stayin’ Alive by Bee Gees
• 3. Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin

Don’t Worry If There’s a Hell Below, We’re All Going to Go is a daring and provocative track from Curtis Mayfield’s 1970 debut album.

This marked a departure from his earlier work with The Impressions. Known for its bold social commentary and powerful funk-infused sound, the song confronts issues of societal unrest and inequality head-on.

It’s been decades since the groundbreaking music video and recording session organized to help poor African nations in the Continent.

Initially, USA for Africa was the brainchild of songwriter and activist Harry Belafonte. Shocked by the footage of starving children beamed onto NBC, he began recruiting fellow stars in December 1984 for what he envisaged as a benefit concert for the famine relief effort.

No matter how we're feeling, let's propose a toast. If we have been half successful, we are much better off than most.

If I was selling fantasies, I'd be a billionaire, but I am not disillusioned and I will never be going there.

When people ask me questions about the way I have lived my life. 39 years in media with a couple of good wives. A fine family with grandchildren, fancy limousines,  jacuzzis, and pools where I have had time to spare. I am not downhearted and I'm never going there.

With the amount of hate rising, everyone needs to turn up their love light and shine it high on someone else fast.

The best romantic songs have a timeless appeal, capturing the essence of human emotions in their most poignant moments.

From heartfelt ballads to soul-stirring melodies, these tunes have the power to evoke deep emotions and resonate with listeners around the globe.
