"The Narrow Way" is a section on the studio half of Pink Floyd's fourth album Ummagumma. It was written by David Gilmour and is divided into three parts.


Part 1 of the song was called "Baby Blues Shuffle in D minor" when played by the band on a BBC broadcast on December 2, 1968; it also strongly resembles the tracks "Rain in the Country (take 1)" and "Unknown Song" recorded (but eventually not used) for the soundtrack of Michelangelo Antonioni's film Zabriskie Point in November/December 1969. This portion features layered acoustic guitar with some spacey effects overtop.


Part 2 features an electric guitar and percussion which modulate heavily at the end, forming a drone that leads into Part 3.


Part 3 of the song features Gilmour on vocals backed by a soft electric guitar piece. This final part was incorporated into "The Man and the Journey" on their 1969 tour.


At one point, Gilmour had the whole song written down, except for the lyrics. He then went to see Roger Waters and asked him to write lyrics for his song. Waters simply replied: "No."[citation needed]

"The Greatest Rock 'n Roll Band in the World"

(1982)
"Stars on Frankie"

(1987)


"Stars on Frankie" was a song issued in 1987 by the Dutch studio group Stars on 45, taken from the album of the same title.


"Stars on Frankie" was the first proper Stars on 45 single since 1982's Rolling Stones medley "The Greatest Rock 'n Roll Band in the World". Since then producer Jaap Eggermont had recorded three albums with spin-off group The Star Sisters, mainly covering songs made famous by the Andrews Sisters and other jazz standards and evergreens from the 1940s, 50s and early 60s. When singer Peter Douglas in early 1987 won the Dutch soundalike contest The Supermixshow (the original format of TV show Stars in Their Eyes) with his impersonation of Frank Sinatra Eggermont consequently contacted him offering him a recording contract. The result was the "Stars on Frankie" single and album, released under the 'Stars on 45' moniker. While the single failed to chart internationally it became another Top 20 hit in the Netherlands, peaking at #16 and the following album was also a minor commercial success, reaching the lower regions of the Dutch albums chart and it was subsequently also released in the rest of Continental Europe, Scandinavia and Japan.


Stars on Frankie became the final original Stars on 45 project to be produced by Jaap Eggermont. A single and an album titled Stars on 45 - The Club Hits was some ten years later released on the Music Club International label, featuring both re-recordings of Eggermont and musical arranger Martin Duiser's original "Stars on 45" themes together with newly recorded hits medleys as well as using the band logo on the album covers. Neither Eggermont, Duiser nor any of the original Stars on 45 musicians or singers were however involved in the creation of this project.

Cothurnocystis














Cothurnocystis
Scientific classification






































Kingdom:Animalia
Phylum:Echinodermata
Class:Homalozoa
Subclass:Stylophora
Order:Cornuta
Family:Cothurnocystidae
Subfamily:Cothurnocystinae
Genus:Cothurnocystis (Bather 1913)
Species:†'C. fellinensis' (Ubachs 1969)

†'C. eliza'



Cothurnocystis along with all of its relatives in Stylophora, are enigmatic organisms whose relationship with other organisms, namely the Echinodermata and the Chordata, are in a state of flux. It was boot-shaped and has been suspected to have contained a primitive notochord. Some scientists consider the Stylophora to be a group of primitive chordates, calling them the "Calcichordata." The notochord would have been in the tail and was very basic in its structure. The most common hypothesis is that it was related to echinoderms, as the structure of the test were similar in structure and material to echinoderms. In the top of the boot where a foot would go seems to be the feeding apparatus, with the anus opposite, but the study of these species is vague.

He won the Filmfare Best Male Playback Award for 5 consecutive years.








Contents







[edit] Early life


Kumar Sanu's father Pashupati Bhattacharjee was an accomplished classical vocalist and composer. He trained Sanu as a singer and tabla player. After getting a degree in commerce from Calcutta University, Sanu began performing publicly in 1979, singing at shows and restaurants around Calcutta. He modeled his singing style after famous Bollywood singer Kishore Kumar.Later evolved his own style and created followership from lot of singers including Babul Supriyo.



[edit] Career


In 1987, music director and singer Jagjit Singh offered Sanu the chance to sing in the Hindi film Aandhiyan. Sanu then relocated to Mumbai, where Kalyanji-Anandji gave him chance to sing in the film Jaadugar. Kalyanji-Anandji suggested that he change his name from Kedar Bhattacharya to Kumar Sanu because of the prevalent caste/region-based favoritism in Bollywood and to give him wider appeal outside of a strictly Bengali audience.


Sanu started off singing Jagajit Singh's film songs, and went on to work with composers of the like of Naushad, Ravindra Jain, Hridayanath Mangeshkar, Pt.R K Razdan, Kalyanji Anandji, Usha Khanna etc.


Sanu's breakthrough came in 1990, in the form of the film Aashiqui. The music directors Nadeem-Shravan got Sanu to sing all but one of the songs. Sanu gained overnight success. The hit songs from Aashiqui included Sanson ki zaroorat hai jaise, Tu meri zindagi hain, Nazar ke saamne, Jaane jigar jaaneman, Ab Tere Bin Jee Lenge Hum and Dheere, dheere se meri zindagi mein aana. He won the first of his record five consecutive Filmfare awards as Best Male Playback Singer. His next Filmfare Awards came for songs in the movies Saajan (1991), Deewana (1992), Baazigar (1993), and 1942: A Love Story (1994).


Sanu often collaborated with Nadeem-Shravan. Some of their collaborations include songs in movies like Sadak (1991), Deewana (1992), Saajan (1992), Raja Hindustani(1996), Pardes (1997), among others.


Along with contemporary Udit Narayan, Sanu is often credited with having one of the best voices among playback singers in India. In a career spanning two decades he has sung with numerous successful composers to name R.D. Burman, Jatin-Lalit, Ismail Darbar, Laxmikant Pyarelal, Naushad, Kalyanji Anandji. He broke a Guinness World Record by singing 28 songs in a single day in 1993.


His most recent hit songs include Humraaz, Yeh Dil Aapka Huwa (Pakistan), Karz, Dil Ka Rishta, Indian Babu, Ishq Vishk, Andaaz, Qayamat, Hungama and Footpath. He has also turned his trade at making music for Indian films and also recently as a producer for a new Bollywood film, Utthaan.


Currently, Sanu is in the panel of judges on Sony TV for Waar Parriwar, a reality show based on the bringing together of a singing gharana (family of singers) he shares judging duties with fellow singer Udit Narayan, and Jatin Pandit of the famous music duo Jatin-Lalit. At the same time, he is one of the judges with Bollywood music composer Shantanu Moitra and veteran playback singer Usha Mangeshkar on Zee Bangla TV in a music reality show called Sa Re Ga Ma Pa - Vishwa Sera.
