Fantastic Voyage

Fantastic Voyage

Lita Roza was a great jazz singer born too late. The star of the Ted Heath band had her biggest hit with a 1953 cover version of childhood classic “How Much Is That Doggie in the Window?” — a song she despised. The British singer seemed poised for super-stardom, but despite her popularity and critical acclaim, the rock ‘n roll zeitgeist dashed those dreams in the late ’50s.

Around that time, Roza began to focus her attention on television and continued to perform for decades. Love Songs for Night People — an excellently descriptive title — collects some of Roza’ s best romantic ballads. Most of the songs, from “Wild Is the Wind” to “In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning,” are familiar.

Roza is a slow, clear-voiced singer, hanging on every syllable with an actress’ gift for emphasis and emotion. She doesn’t showboat with vocal acrobatics; she does each tune justice. The compilation’s few fast tracks, such as “Mama (He Treats Your Daughter Mean),” make one wonder whether Roza wouldn’t have survived a transition to rock.

GEM Keep It Cool

A 32 day supply of 16 bottles is sold for $99.95, and they offer a 32 day money back guarantee.

Gems keep its cool. I mean, let’s afce the fact that most of us, if not all, are fascinated with gems – whether of birthstones, gold, diamonds and other ornaments. As for me, I used to love gems, too, but since I have this bad habit of pawning them, Iam now refraining from collecting it, and just shifted to collecting cool gadgets.

Gems make a person cool esepcially that they enhance someone’s beauty or adds emphasis to one’s personality. Some even wear it simply because they want to flaunt it, while others see it as a symbol of one’s lifestyle. Whatever the reason maybe depends on the person seeing it.
