Simon Dupree and The Big Sound - Kites (Lyrics)

 Simon Dupree and the Big Sound were a British psychedelic band formed in 1966 by brothers Derek (vocals), Phil (vocals, saxophone, trumpet), and Ray Shulman (guitar, violin, trumpet, vocals);^[1] also known for their later prog rock band, Gentle Giant. 

 

"Kites" is a ballad written by Hal Hackady and Lee Pockriss. It was first recorded by the Rooftop Singers as their last single in 1967.^[1]

The song then became a hit for Simon Dupree and the Big Sound, a group of the Shulman brothers, who went on to form the progressive rock band Gentle Giant. Their first releases had not been successful and they looked to their manager, John King, for inspiration. He suggested "Kites", which he had obtained from Robbins' Music. It was not their preferred style but King insisted.^[2]

The song was recorded at Abbey Road using unconventional instruments such as a wind machine and included a spoken interlude in Chinese, composed of "sweet nothings"^[3] and performed^[4] by the actress Jacqui Chan,^[5] a friend of the band. The spoken words are in Mandarin, a language which she did not usually speak. One translation is: "I love you, I love you, My love is very strong. It flies high like a kite before the wind, Please do not let go of the string."

The single reached number 8 in the UK Singles chart in late 1967^[6] and, as an example of the early psychedelic rock style, it has since appeared on many compilations, especially those themed around psychedelia.^[7] Music historian Paul Stump called it "one of the first pop singles to employ a bank of keyboards simultaneously for melodic and colouristic purposes".^[8] The specific keyboards featured are organ, mellotron, piano, and vibraphone.^[8][9]

'Kites' is a very beautiful and romantic song that was a hit for Simon Dupree and The Big Sound in the UK in the 60's. The single reached number 8 in late 1967 and as an exemplar of the early psychedelic rock style it has since appeared on many compilations, especially those themed around psychedelia.

Lyrics

I will fly a yellow paper sun in your sky
When the wind is high, when the wind is high
I will float a silken silver moon near your window
If your night is dark, if your night is dark

In letters of gold on a snow white kite
I will write "I love you"
And send it soaring high above you
For all to read

I will scatter rice paper stars in your heaven
If there are no stars, if there are no stars
All of these and seven wonders more will I find
When the wind is high, when the wind is high

In letters of gold on a snow white kite
I will write "I love you"
And send it soaring high above you
For all to read

In letters of gold on a snow white kite
I will write "I love you"
And send it soaring high above you
For all to read

Paul Desmond - A Taste Of Honey (and lyrics)

 Paul Desmond (born Paul Emil Breitenfeld; November 25, 1924 – May 30, 1977) was an American jazz alto saxophonist and composer, best known for his work with the Dave Brubeck Quartet and for composing that group's biggest hit, "Take Five". He was one of the most popular musicians to come out of the cool jazz scene.

In addition to his work with Brubeck, he led several groups and collaborated with Gerry Mulligan, Chet Baker, Jim Hall, and Ed Bickert. After years of chain smoking and poor health, Desmond succumbed to lung cancer in 1977 after a tour with Brubeck.

 Paul Desmond recorded a version in 1964 on his album Glad to Be Unhappy (RCA LPM 3407)

 "A Taste of Honey" is a pop standard written by Bobby Scott and Ric Marlow. It was originally an instrumental track (or recurring theme) written for the 1960 Broadway version of the 1958 British play A Taste of Honey (which was also made into the film of the same name in 1961). Both the original and a later recording by Herb Alpert in 1965 earned the song four Grammy Awards. A vocal version of the song—first recorded by Billy Dee Williams (and released in 1961 on the Prestige label), and then recorded very successfully by Lenny Welch in the summer of 1962—was also recorded by the Beatles for their first album in 1963. Barbra Streisand performed the song as part of her cabaret act during 1962, and recorded it in January 1963 for her debut album The Barbra Streisand Album, on Columbia, which won a Grammy for Album of the Year (1963).

Winds may blow over the icy sea

I'll take with me the warmth of thee

A taste of honey

A taste much sweeter than wine

I will return

I'll return

I'll come back for the honey and you

I'll leave behind my heart to wear

And may it e'er remind you of

A taste of honey

A taste much sweeter than wine

I will return

I'll return

I'll come back for the honey and you

He ne'er came back to his love so fair

And so she died dreaming of his kiss

His kiss of honey

A taste more bitter than wine

I will return

I will return

I'll come back for the honey and you

I'll come back for the honey and you

Sharif Dean - Do you love me (1973)

 Dean was the son of a French mother and an Algerian father. He spent his childhood in Paris , where he came into contact with contemporary music. He won a Radio Monte Carlo music competition. As a result, he got some engagements in German clubs. In between he studied in Brussels , where he graduated in philosophy and literature in 1973 . Then he devoted himself entirely to his singing career.

In collaboration with the Belgian music producer Jean Huygmans, he produced his first single, Mary-Ann , in 1972 , which was not a hit. The following year, Dean wrote the title Do You Love Me? . It became the first Belgian single to top the Dutch annual charts. More than 100,000 copies have been sold in Belgium. [4] The title is a duet with the Belgian singer Eveline D'Haese .

Do you love me? I love you, more than words can say I love you, yes I do Do you need me? I need you, like the rose needs water I need you, yes I do The years have grown our love, Stronger and stronger The years have grown our love, Stronger and stronger Do you love me? So much that I'd hurt myself I love you, Yes I do Do you need me? I need you, like the rose needs summer I need you, yes I do The years have got into you and I A love greater and greater The years have got into you and I A love greater and greater Do you love me? I said I love you, more than words can say I love you, yes I do Do you need me? I need you, like the rose needs water I need you, yes I do The years have grown our love, Stronger and stronger The years have grown our love, Stronger and stronger Do you love me? Yes I do

POLL- Ελα Ηλιε μου

 Oι Poll ήταν πρωτοποριακό ελληνικό ποπ συγκρότημα που ιδρύθηκε το 1971 από τον Κώστα Τουρνά, τον Ρόμπερτ Ουίλιαμς, τον Σταύρο Λογαρίδη και τον Κώστα Παπαϊωάννου. Στην Ελλάδα έθεσε στη δεκαετία του '70 τα θεμέλια της ποπ με πρωτοποριακούς στίχους και μουσική.^[1] Τα τραγούδια τους συγκαταλέγονται στα καλύτερα στην ιστορία της ελληνικής μουσικής,^[2] ενώ θεωρούνται το πιο επιτυχημένο ελληνικό συγκρότημα όλων των εποχών.^[3]

Φρέσκο το χώμα βροχή έχει πέσει τα φύλλα ξερά, υγρά τα μάτια μου είναι νομίζω πως θέλω να κλάψω Με λίγες νότες τραγούδι έχω γράψει να σου τραγουδώ, όταν θα βλέπεις πουλιά μακριά σου να φεύγουν στον ήλιο, κοροϊδεύουν τα κλουβιά Είναι καιρός που φέρνει τον έναν στον άλλον κοντά, είναι καιρός που χωρίζουν οι σκέψεις και μένουμε μόνοι Πόσο ανάγκη έχω τώρα από ένα δικό σου φιλί, πόσο μου λείπει η ζεστή σου ανάσα που χείλη θεριεύει ζωντανεύει την καρδιά Ήλιε μου, ήλιε μου, Έλα ήλιε μου.

Βιογραφία[Επεξεργασία | επεξεργασία κώδικα]

Γεννήθηκε στην Τρίπολη το 1949 και έζησε εκεί μέχρι 10 χρονών. Το 1959 ήλθε στην Αθήνα και άρχισε μαθήματα κιθάρας από το 1961 μέχρι το 1965. Στα 13 του δημιούργησε το πρώτο του γκρουπ που έπαιζε λατινοαμερικάνικα τραγούδια. Από το καλοκαίρι το 1967 ασχολήθηκε αποκλειστικά με τη μουσική. Λίγο αργότερα, σαν επαγγελματίας πια, έπαιζε και τραγουδούσε σε διάφορα κλαμπ της Αθήνας.

Το «Άνθρωπε αγάπα» γράφτηκε το '70 με αφορμή/ερέθισμα την αντιπολεμική ταινία του Στιούαρτ Χάγκμαν "Φράουλες και Αίμα". Το «Ήλιε μου» γράφτηκε σε συνεργασία με τον Ρόμπερτ Ουίλιαμς. Την άνοιξη του 1971, πριν ακόμα ολοκληρώσει την στρατιωτική του θητεία, ξεκίνησε πρόβες με τους POLL, τον Ρόμπερτ Ουίλιαμς, τον Σταύρο Λογαρίδη και τον Κώστα Παπαϊωάννου. Το συγκρότημα είχε μεγάλη επιτυχία, αλλά διαλύθηκε έχοντας βγάλει δύο δίσκους και έκτοτε άρχισε η σόλο καριέρα του Τουρνά. Πρώτος δίσκος μετά από τη διάλυση του συγκροτήματος ήταν τα «Απέραντα Χωράφια» και ακολούθησαν τα άλμπουμ: «Αστρόνειρα», «Κυρίες & Κύριοι», «Λευκά Φτερά», «Επί Γης Ειρήνη», «Στο Σινεμά», «Τρωικός Πόλεμος», «Αγαπημένη», «Η Πρόβα», «Τώρα», «Λίγη Αμαρτία», «Υπερβολές», «Tora Tora Tora», «Κλισέ», «Παιχνίδι», «Αλητείες», «Κάτω απ' την Ακρόπολη», «Ντουέτα» με τη συμμετοχή 12 ακόμα τραγουδιστών, «Δεν Λέει» και «Κλέβει ο Καιρός». Το '78 και για τέσσερα χρόνια πήρε ιδιαίτερα μαθήματα (αρμονία - σύνθεση) από τον Κώστα Κλάβα. Το 2012 εξέδωσε το "Κώστας Τουρνάς '11" με τέσσερα νέα τραγούδια. Στη συσκευασία αυτή περιλαμβανόταν και ένα cd με live εκτελέσεις τραγουδιών του και το ίδιο σε οπτικοακουστικό σε DVD, μαζί με ένα βιβλιαράκι με σκέψεις του. Επίσης την ίδια χρονιά κυκλοφόρησε και το App "Tournas" από το iTunes.

Κέρδισε Ελληνικά και Διεθνή Φεστιβάλ με βραβεία και διακρίσεις, με «χρυσό» κατάλογο σε πωλήσεις δίσκων, τηλεοπτικές και παραγωγικές δραστηριότητες.

Δεκάδες τραγουδιστές έχουν πει τραγούδια του, ενώ έχει συνθέσει πάνω από 500 τραγούδια.

Είναι κάτοικος Αθηνών (Άνω Κυψέλη) παντρεμένος από το 1977 με τη Μαρία, το γένος Λιαροπούλου.

Listen to the pouring rain Listen to it pour, And with every drop of rain You know I love you more Let it rain all night long, Let my love for you go strong, As long as we're together Who cares about the weather? Listen to the falling rain, Listen to it fall, And with every drop of rain, I can hear you call, Call my name right out loud, I can here above the clouds And I'm here among the puddles, You and I together huddle. Listen to the falling rain, Listen to it fall. It's raining, It's pouring, The old man is snoring, Went to bad And bumped his head, He couldn't get up in the morning, Listen to the falling rain, listen to the rain

The Rolling Stones - She's A Rainbow (Official Lyric Video)

 The Rolling Stones are an English rock band formed in London in 1962. Active for almost six decades, they are one of the most popular and enduring bands of the rock era. Diverging from the pop rock of the early 1960s, the Rolling Stones pioneered the gritty, heavier-driven sound that came to define hard rock.^[1] Their first stable line-up comprised vocalist Mick Jagger, multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones, guitarist Keith Richards, bassist Bill Wyman, and drummer Charlie Watts. During their formative years Jones was the primary leader: he assembled the band, named it, and drove their sound and image. After Andrew Loog Oldham became the group's manager in 1963, he encouraged them to write their own songs. Jagger and Richards became the primary creative force behind the band, alienating Jones, who developed a drug addiction that interfered with his ability to contribute meaningfully.

Let It Bleed (50th Anniversary Edition) is out now: https://abkco.lnk.to/LetItBleed “She’s A Rainbow” by The Rolling Stones Composers: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards Lyrics: She comes in colours ev’ry where She combs her hair. She’s like a rainbow, coming, colors in the air. Oh ev’ry where, she comes in colors. Wanh, wanh, la la la. She comes in colors ev’ry where She combs her hair. She’s like a rainbow, coming, colors in the air. Oh ev’ry where, she comes in colors. Wanh, wanh, la la la. Have you seen her dressed in blue? See the sky in front of you; and her face is like a sail, speck of white so fair and pale. Have you seen the lady fairer? She comes in colors ev’ry where; she combs her hair. She’s like a rainbow, coming, colors in the air. Oh, ev’ry where she comes in colors. Ooh, wah wah la la la. Have you seen her all in gold like a queen in days of old? She shoots colors all around like a sunset going down. Have you seen the lady fairer? She comes in colors ev’ry where; she combs her hair. She’s like a rainbow, coming, colors in the air. Oh, ev’ry where she comes in colors. Ooh, wah wah la la la. Ooh, wah wah la la la. She’s like a rainbow, coming, colors in the air. Oh, ev’ry where she comes in colors. “She's A Rainbow (Official Lyric Video)” Directed by: Lucy Dawkins and Tom Readdy at Yes Please Productions Producers: Julian Klein, Robin Klein, Sara Dempsey, Mick Gochanour (C) 2017 ABKCO Music & Records, Inc. #TheRollingStones #ShesARainbow #TheirSatanicMajestiesRequest

Ohio Express- Yummy Yummy Yummy

 The Ohio Express is an American bubblegum pop band, formed in Mansfield, Ohio, in 1967.^[1] Though marketed as a band, it would be more accurate to say that the name "Ohio Express" served as a brand name used by Jerry Kasenetz's and Jeffry Katz's Super K Productions to release the music of a number of different musicians and acts. The best known songs of Ohio Express (including their best scoring single, "Yummy Yummy Yummy") were actually the work of an assemblage of studio musicians working out of New York, including singer/songwriter Joey Levine.
