Top 7 Lionel Richie Songs of the '80s
As a consummate pop star of the 80s, Lionel Richie famously stacked up 13 consecutive Top 10 hits, a remarkable feat indeed. However, his propensity for pop singles inevitably meant the three albums he released contained little else in terms of commercial or critical appeal, assuming, of course, that all of the hits were actually good. And that’s a hefty assumption. That’s why I’ve chosen to select just over half of Richie’s signature tunes for my best-of list. Wheat from the chaff, they say.To Download Lionel Ritchie Mp3 Songs Free Just Click on The Name of the Song.
1. “Endless Love”This overwrought karaoke classic served as the primary catalyst for Richie’s unsurprising departure from the Commodores, after his duet with Diana Ross hit No. 1 on the pop charts in the summer of 1981 and stayed there for nine weeks. Best sung or lip-synched by the brave and self-assured with maximum facial contortions and gesticulation, the ballad boasts a memorable, gentle verse that explodes (if adult contemporary pop can do that) with a positively sublime bridge. Must stop now. Verklempt.
2. “My Love”I must confess I heard this one the other day on the radio, listened intently all the way through, and felt significantly better than I had just before during my drive home from work. OK, so maybe it wasn’t so much the song, but I choose to believe it was. Richie had a knack for taking all the darkness out of romance, and a love ballad has rarely been this effervescent and sunny before or since. At the same time, the tune never devolves into a cheesefest; it’s just a highly pleasant listen.
3. “You Are”Although Richie eliminated almost all soul/R&B aspects of his sound (what few there ever were) after he left the Commodores and embarked on his successful solo career, he manages to find a nifty groove on this song nevertheless. As usual, the singer amps things up perhaps a bit too far for the chorus, but in the verses and bridge Richie has probably never been more subtle and emotionally commanding. It’s a sumptuous and delicate performance, and I’ve always liked it, dammit. Are you satisfied?
4. “Stuck on You”Richie reveals a little eclecticism with this song, and though it’s not his only flirtation with country music, it is his best. The tune’s success also stems from its almost clinical laid-back approach to the love ballad. Once again, Richie walks a dangerously thin line by downplaying passion’s tempest in favor of a lived-in, tamed version of love. But somehow he invests the song with sufficient feeling anyway and handles his most important task effectively, to make his performance convincin
g.5. “Running with the Night”While Richie the balladeer was never at his best on up-tempo numbers, this one is most definitely the lesser of three evils and far less embarrassing than either “All Night Long” or, especially, “Dancing on the Ceiling”. Luckily, on this tolerable selection, Richie refrains from attempting either a forced Latin/Caribbean vibe as he does on “All Night Long” or engage in abject silliness involving ceilings. Instead, he delivers a solid, if somewhat vanilla, mainstream pop/rock tune.
6. “Ballerina Girl”So I’ll cut through the suspense right now and confess that I’m leaving “Hello” off this lost, for the sake of my sanity if not for any remaining shreds of dignity. In the resulting void I submit this lesser-known but still somehow compelling ballad that perfectly captures Richie’s extreme romanticism, which borders on pathological here. Nonetheless, his composer’s gift for melody shines through as usual and results in a slow-dance special that epitomizes “easy listening.”
7. “Say You, Say Me”Back when his show still contained the phrase “late night” in its title, David Letterman employed this tune to great effect for a comedy bit. Richie’s music has always teetered right on the edge of unintentional comedy, but his melodic gifts cannot be stopped; they can't even be contained. As always, it’s best not to puzzle too much over the meaning of the lyrics or search for interesting layers. Even so, this latter-day Richie hit from the '80s captured something substantial about the decade.
Ten Best Eric Clapton Songs - Download MP3 Free
Download Eric Clapton Songs Free, Just Click on the Name of the Song.The opening riff simply tears through your senses. Layla was definitely Eric at his best. His short stint with Derek and the Dominos generated only one album, but it is arguably one of the most dazzling, shining works in his catalog. This song says it with such force and conveys painfully powerful emotions-a rather fitting cry of frustration from his famously unrequited love affair with his best friend George Harrison's then-wife Patti Boyd, for whom he wrote the song. Yet even in the stripped-down, mellowed version that he put out in 1994's Unplugged, Eric breathes new life into the song and rekindles old passions that have long been put to rest.
This is another classic from Eric's period with the Dominos. It's a mellow track, yet the intensity of feeling that he conveys here clearly rivals that of Layla, or of any great blues player for the matter. He sings of an unrequited love, and a searing sadness fathoms the track, climaxing with some soaring string bending and guitar wailing. That simple, haunting riff just rings in your ears and finds its way to your heart. Blues purists may resent the rock-tinged feel of the song, but no doubt Eric is one fine bluesman who can convey oceans of emotion. This song alone is enough to attest to that.
This was the track that merited him the famous graffiti that said "Clapton is God". His years at Cream were some of his best which, combined with the genius of Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker, saw unprecedented experimentation with jazz progressions as no rock trio had ever attempted. Crossroads is a completely new take on the Robert Johnson blues standard, complete with those guitar 
pyrotechnics and extended improvisations that propelled Clapton to god-like cult-worship status in London's 1960s music scene.
pyrotechnics and extended improvisations that propelled Clapton to god-like cult-worship status in London's 1960s music scene. Another selection from his years with Cream, Badge was co-written with George Harrison. The two had met some years earlier and from there grew one of the greatest friendships in contemporary music history, even withstanding Clapton's aching affair with Harrison's first wife Patti Boyd. Although more of a pop track than Eric's blues-purist preferences, Badge has become a standard in Eric's concert repertoires, perhaps as a fond tribute to George. Every performance of this song sees Eric bringing something different into it, and his solos have only grown more expressive with age, like something nearing perfection after 40 years in the making.
This is one of Eric's signature songs, way back from his Derek and the Dominos period. A Chicago-blues style tune infused with some excellent and heavy improvisations, Have You Ever Loved A Woman is legendary Clapton material. Here, he conveys painful and lucid oceans of emotion, again in reference to his unrequited love affair with Patti, pining the realization that "…she belongs to your very best friend." Whoever says that Clapton doesn't have the soul of a bluesman should have a listen to this track, and that would settle the argument once and for all.
Written with renowned bluesman and his good friend Robert Cray, Old Love is a powerfully moving ballad that staged Eric's comeback as a bluesman in the late eighties. Shedding the experimental-mostly pop-material which he fumbled and languished in for the most part of the 70's and 80's, the arrival of this
song shatters any doubts about him having outlived his glory days and reminds us mere mortals, who might already have forgotten, why Clapton is, indeed, god.
song shatters any doubts about him having outlived his glory days and reminds us mere mortals, who might already have forgotten, why Clapton is, indeed, god.This J.J. Cale classic has been immortalized, thanks to Clapton's ingenious guitar playing. Who could ever mistake that opening phrase for something less worthy? It's not nearly as searing as his work with Cream or the Dominos, but Cocaine is nevertheless a good place to start when exploring Clapton's catalogue as a solo artist. Electrifying riffs rightly impact the audience of the pulsating highs and disarming perils of…cocaine.
This piece of Bob Marley legacy became Eric's first number one in the U.S. He first got a taste of Marley when a session guitarist played an album during a recording session. Turned out that Eric couldn't get enough of it and ended up jamming to I Shot the Sheriff an entire day! Shortly after the release of his chart-topping cover version, Eric got a call from Bob himself and he shares that "I kept asking him if it was a true story - did he really shoot the sheriff? What was it all about? He wouldn't really commit himself. He said that some parts of it were true, but he wasn't going to say which parts."
Wonderful Tonight
This may be Eric's most overplayed standard, blaring through afternoon ‘rewind' radio programs just about everywhere. Even non-Clapton fans will have probably heard this song at one time. But discounting this fact - -let's face it - -this is about Eric's most tender, poignant ballad and the anthem of many a hopeless romantic. He wrote this song while waiting for Patti - -his future wife - -dress up for a party they were going to. Here is simply a beautiful song for a beautiful lady that inspired some of Eric's most creative moments in his four-decade long career.

Where has that electric guitar-clad rock god gone? Eric dons an acoustic for this number, and shows the world that he can do music like his heroes before him have done - -stripped down, unamplified fingerpicking that draws from a very sincere, moving well of feeling. His performance of this song in 1994's Unplugged was his greatest success story since his downward spiral into drug addiction and his subsequent rehabilitation. Behind his triumph though, was an aching tragedy. Eric originally penned this song for his son Conor, then 4 years old, who died after falling off the balcony of his Italian lover Lori Del Santo's condominium unit in New York. This is Eric unplugged, as if mellowed out with age and a trove of experiences - -fragile, tender, yet intensely reflective.

Year 2008 will indeed go down as one of the most historic one for the lovers of quality film music as it will be remembered as the year when Bollywood's most revered and talented and extremely choosy music director, of this era, A. R. Rahman bestowed upon his fans four superlative albums. Starting with Ashutosh Gowariker's magnum-opus JODHAA AKBAR followed by ADA - A WAY OF LIFE, Aamir Khan's JAANE TU... YA JAANE NA and the most recent one, Subhash Ghai's YUVVRAAJ. Needless to add that all these albums were classy and a hit with the patrons of good quality music, barring ADA- A WAY OF LIFE (commercially). His long term association with perfectionist actor, Aamir Khan has always brought out the best in Rahman (RANGEELA, LAGAAN, MANGAL PANDEY and RANG DE BASANTI) and naturally expectations assume humungous proportions as his last album, GHAJINI, makes it to the stands this year itself. The Tamil version of GHAJINI had some rocking music by the top music director of South India, Harris Jayaraj. And with music maestro, A.R.Rahman at the helm this time around, with help in the lyrical department from the new age lyricist, the intellectually brilliant Prasoon Joshi (their RDB was path breaking), things can only get better. So, without wasting time let us check out the GHAJINI audio.
Sonu Nigam's cupid struck humming and mandolin strums commence 'Guzarish' as he serenades the listeners, transporting them into a beautiful make belief romantic world, through this stunningly striking love ballad. Much like the signature tune of Rahman's last romantic track from the album, YUVVRAAJ ('Tu Meri Dost Hai') this love ballad too relies heavily on Sonu's haunting background hummings to create the subtle love effect. Here though, Sonu Nigam is the guest vocalist and is present only for the humming part, which is incorporated in the beginning, in between and also in the end. But don't be disappointed as Rahman's new favourite, Javed Ali ('Jashn-E-Bahara') holds fort quite strongly with his crackling strong vocals. Javed Ali is a revelation here, as in 'Jashn-E-Bahara' his vocals were quite base and deep to match Hrithik while here Javed's superb voice modulations are in sync with Aamir's perfect and smooth ones. Only his diction presents a minor problem which needs to be corrected. This propositioning number becomes super special because of Prasoon Joshi's lovely lyrics which are simple yet they are awesome, as there cannot be a better word than the urdu word, 'guzarish', meaning request to appear polite and polished . 'Bas ek haan ki guzarish, Phir hogi khushiyon ki barish, Tu meri adhuri pyaas pyaas, Tu aa gayi man ko raas raas, Ab to tu aa ja paas paas, Hai guzarish.' A proposal which cannot be turned down at any cost, such is the effect of the number. So all you guys in love go ahead, it's our 'guzarish' to propose to your beloved with this number this Valentine day and you sure will succeed. An excellent, in fact, a gem of a track from the maestro.
Suzanne is the female vocalist who has been entrusted with the next number, 'Aye Bachchu' . And the number is just right for Suzanne, as she has become a sort of an icon for the songs that require full of attitude, westernized singing. But we are forced to say that if this number was by Pritam, one would have rated it as passable but this comes from Rahman, the musical genius and so, it disappoints. Nothing, but the best is expected of the maestro. May be in his defense we can say that the song is a situational one but it is a let down nevertheless, specially after a cracker of a start in form of 'Guzarish'. Prasoon Joshi's lyrics though situational and apt still disappoint. Once again it's Prasoon, the lyricist of RANG DE BASANTI and TAARE ZAMEEN PAR, so obviously the level of expectancy is much higher. The recent number on this line that we heard was 'Oop Oop Cha' (DRONA) and 'Soniya'(KIDNAP).
Thankfully, Rahman and Prasoon are back to their best with the next track, 'Kaise Mujhe', a classy romantic composition that has a mesmerizing effect on the listeners. The beauty of the number lies in its very smooth, slow paced melody and the lovely musical arrangements in the background. The superb use of 'sitar', piano' lend an air of romance, a number that can be effectively be used in a candlelight dinner by a couple in love or even in ballroom dancing. This is true blue Rahman, the Rahman we all love and revere. And his counterpart, Prasoon Joshi who has always been a superb support too is in full flow. His poetic prowess is diligently brought to the fore through this lovely love ballad. 'Kaise mujhe tum mil gayee, Kismat pe aaye na yakeen' No 'tukbandi' (rhyming words), here. Of course the two singers Benny Dayal (after a splendid JAANE TU... and YUVVRAAJ) and Shreya Ghoshal need to be mentioned, as it is their combined superlative effort that makes this one an outstanding track, though it may not be universally appealing .
Ray Charles - Must have songs for your I-pod
Download my top ten Ray Charles songs free.... go to the list.Choosing a top ten list of songs by Ray Charles is a little difficult. He has so many songs, in a variety of styles that span decades of work. The somewhat recent popular movie based on his life had me thinking of him and his many musical works.
Ray Charles was born Ray Charles Robinson on September 23,1930. He became blind as child for unknown reasons. While some speculate that his blindness could have been caused by glaucoma, there is no definitive answer. Either way, he overcame his handicap to become a well-known pianist, lyricist, and singer who bowled the world over. He sang everything. Rhythm and blues, gospel, country, and pop were encompassed easily in to his work. His simple Albany, Georgia roots inspired him with a gospel sound that continued to influence him throughout his life.
Like most people in generation X one of the first time I really took notice of a Ray Charles song was on the infamous Cosby Show television series. Whether I knew it or not, “Night Time i
s the Right Time” was a famous Ray Charles song. He was introduced to a whole new generation of people thanks to the Huxtable family.
I grew up in Georgia and was quickly exposed to many of Ray Charles songs throughout my life. The state song “Goergia on My Mind” is one of his best songs in my opinion. It is a love song to his home state and is known the world over. It hit #1 on the Billboard Pop Charts in no time.
My top ten lists of Ray Charles Songs are: Click on the song name to download
1. Georgia on My Mind
2. Mess Around
3. I Got a Woman
4. What’d I Say
5. Shake Your Tail Feathers
6. You are My Sunshine
7. Unchain My Heart
8. Hit the Road Jack
9. I Can’t Stop Loving you
10. You Don’t Know Me
“Georgia on My Mind” is a sweet ballad with heartfelt words describing the state of his birthplace. It sees nearly impossible to think that a song like this could be sung by a man with hits like “Mess Around” and “ I Got a Woman.” These are upbeat gospel blues inspired pieces that made him famous or infamous in his generation. His gospel takes on these songs offended as many as it inspired. A generation was changed when Ray found his own sound.
Distributing music independently online
"What is a viable business model for distributing music independently via the Internet?"
Klaus HeymannChairman, Naxos Group of Companies
Independent labels have several options when it comes to distributing their recordings online.
Regardless of what option they choose, a label should create its own digital files (WAV files that can be converted into other formats) and its own meta data -- it's not rocket science and a label knows its own content better than any third party.
Nowadays, it is very important to coordinate digital and physical marketing and advertising. Therefore, if a label has good physical distribution internationally, it should first try to work through its own network of distributors, provided they have the necessary experience and the right connections with their national digital service providers.
National distributors can create meta data in their local language, which is essential in markets such as Japan, South Korea, France, Germany and Spain/Latin America. Their distributors also know which albums to promote, or they can create special digital compilations aimed at their market.
If a label does not have good physical distribution, or if its distributors are not active in digital distribution, it must determine whether or not to use one or more aggregators (digital distributors).
Before making that decision, it is important to analyze which digital service providers (download sites) can actually sell the label's recordings. While aggregators can push content to a large number of digital service providers (DSPs), only relatively few may be able to actually sell the label's recordings, and the label may actually be able to deliver its content to these DSPs itself.
Otherwise, the label should look for specialized aggregators, which either specialize in the kind of music the label is selling or which cover specific territories. It might make sense, for example, to use one aggregator for North America and other English-speaking markets; another for French-speaking markets; another for Spain and Spanish Latin America; etc.
Some international aggregators are now setting up offices in overseas markets to establish better relations with local DSPs, but that's still very rare.
Working with different aggregators or supplying content directly to 10 or 20 DSPs may not be easy, but a label should only give its catalog to a single worldwide aggregator as a last resort -- it's like handing your worldwide physical distribution to a single exporter.
And even if a label works through an aggregator, it should still involve its national distributors so that they can benefit from or contribute to the digital marketing.
