Flo Rida Samples Etta James

Flo Rida samples Etta James with a song called Good Feeling. The Song was released in october 2011 but is now number 4 in th UK charts.



Born Jamesetta Hawkins in Los Angeles on January 25, 1938 to a 14 year old mother, Etta James was raised by a number of caregivers and received her first professional vocal coaching at the age of 5 from James Earle Hines, musical director of the Echoes of Eden choir, at the St. Paul Baptist Church in LA.

In 1960 Etta James signed with Chess’ Argo subsidiary, and immediately hit her commercial and creative stride with a pair of  duets recorded with her boyfriend Harvey Fuqua, lead singer of The Moonglows:  ‘If I Can’t Have You’ (R ‘n’ B #6)) and ‘Spoonful’(R ‘n’ B #12).  Her first solo hit for the label was ‘All I Could Do Was Cry’ (R ‘n’ B #2), following Chess records co-founder Leonard Chess’ decision to push Etta James in the direction of classy ballad singing, wrapping her passionate vocals in lush string arrangements on songs like her signature tune at ‘At Last’ (R ‘n’ B #2, Pop #47) and ‘Trust Me’ (R ‘n’ B #4, Pop #30) amongst others on her debut LP, At Last. Etta James’ second album for Chess, The Second Time Around, also largely focused on orchestral pop as the label continued their push to cross her over into the pop charts with some success, as the singles ‘Fool That I Am’, ‘Don’t Cry Baby’ and ‘Seven Day Fool’ all made it into the Top 100 Billboard Pop chart at #50, #39 and #95 respectively.

Nora Roberts Carnal Innocence 20th February 2012!

Available on Amazon UK & Deltamusic.co.uk

*Update - Release date update, the Carnal Innocence will be available from Delta Music on the 27th February 2012.*
 
Nora Roberts Carnal Innocence will be released on DVD in th UK on 20th February 2012! Staring Gabrielle Anwar and Colin Egglesfield Carnal Innocence takes place in Caroline Waverly home town of Innocence.

Based on a best selling book by the author Nora Roberts. After suffering a professional setback, world-renowned violinist Caroline Waverly (Gabrielle Anwar) decides to head to Innocence, Mississippi, where she spent summers as a child, for some peace and solitude away from the spotlight. Shortly after arriving, Caroline meets the arrogant but charming Tucker Longstreet (Colin Egglesfield), a member of one of the town’s most prominent families, who is quickly smitten by her. But Caroline’s dreams for tranquility turn into a nightmare when she discovers the body of a young woman, the possible victim of a serial killer whom the authorities suspect may be Tucker.

The Nora Roberts Movie Trailer can be seen here on our blog.

An Excerpt from the book "Josie Longstreet, the only daughter and youngest child, had been married twice in her thirty-one years. Both unions had been short-lived but had provided the people of Innocence with endless grist for the gossip mill. She regretted both experiences in the same way a woman might regret finding her first gray hairs. There was some anger, some bitterness, some fear. Then it was all covered over. Out of sight, out of mind.

A woman didn't intend to go gray any more than a woman intended to divorce once she'd said "till death do us part." But things happened. As Josie was fond of saying philosophically to Crystal, her bosom friend and owner of the Style Rite Beauty Emporium, she liked to make up for these two errors in judgment by testing out all the men from Innocence to the Tennessee border.

Josie knew there were some tight-lipped old biddies who liked to whisper behind their hands that Josie Longstreet was no better than she had to be. But there were men who smiled into the dark and knew she was a hell of a lot better than that.

Allen Pollack’s In Tune Magazine Review ( Perez Prado CD )

PEREZ PRADO: MAMBO KING, Delta Bygone Days 8YD77065

A very apt title  for this release from the bandleader musician (singer, organist and pianist), and composer often labelled "The King of the Mambo."With recordings covering the period 1949- 1958 (some vocals uncredited) I was impressed by both sound quality and choice of material with MAMBO No. 5, CHERRY PINK AND APPLE-BLOSSOM WHITE and PATRICIA emanating from Prado's hit popularity package.

However, more off-centre Latin-beat interpretations include Leroy Anderson' famous composition SYNCOPATED CLOCK MAMBO along with an effective nod towards Johnnie Ray's SUCH A NIGHT and transitional reworking of C'ESTS l BON. ANNA and SILVANA MANGANO link film and its star of the successful 1951-released ltalian movie whilst two tracks - FREDDY and SWEET AND GENTLE - are heightened by clicking cha-cha heels and purring vocal seduction of the inimitable Eartha Kitt. Twenty full-blooded tracks containing Latin pleasure!

Eddie Stobart: Trucks & Trailers Series Two

The observational documentary series about the iconic haulage firm, Eddie Stobart, returns with bigger and better trucks and more time-laden jeopardy. Their 2000 drivers cover the distance to the moon and back every day, making deliveries every 4 seconds.

Eddie Stobart’s trucks are a familiar sight on the motorways of Europe and they play a massive role in keeping freight moving across the UK & the continent.

Now the Stobart trucks, with their female names and distinctive livery, are featured in this new DVD release of the second series of the Channel Five series, Eddie Stobart Trucks and Trailers. But this four DVD box set is not just about trucks – it’s also about the men and women that keep the Stobart trucks rolling 24 hours a day.

For the truckers, planners, and bosses of Eddie Stobart, time is money, and jams, breakdowns and empty trailers are cash down the drain.

Stobart make a delivery every 4.6 seconds, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It's a company of five thousand people, driving two thousand trucks, packing three thousand trailers, running two ports, two airports and endless freight trains.

In each episode we tell stories which will have characters facing high stakes. We'll get to know the bosses who watch every penny from the control room and negotiate multi-million pound contracts. We'll see the men and women who move millions of pounds of stock in and out of the huge warehouses and container ports filled with everything that keeps Britain going. But we'll also find out about the quirky traditions and routines that have made Stobarts a national treasure - and even meet the "Eddie spotters" who spend their free time in search of Stobart lorries...

All the time the clock will be ticking. Will they get the fridge trucks to the supermarket before the fresh food goes bad? Can they shave vital minutes - and thousands of pounds - off the time taken to unload and turn around a container ship? Can our tramper get home in time for his son's school play?

This is the story of the people who race against time, all night and day, in the wind, the rain and the snow, to get everything you eat and buy delivered to you.

The Detonators Series One, Explosive experts Dr. Braden Lusk and Dr. Paul Worsey travel the globe to see how the biggest demolitions are done.



The Detonators - Join explosives experts Dr. Braden Lusk and Dr. Paul Worsey for a backstage pass to the world’s biggest and toughest demolition jobs. From urban skyscrapers and massive steel bridges to giant stadiums and towering cranes, you'll meet the highly-skilled blasters who can bring down any structure with pinpoint accuracy. Using special sacrifice cameras and high-speed camera technology, our experts will give you a unique, behind-the-scenes look at how demolition specialists take down engineering giants with the push of a button.

The Detonators takes you inside the explosive-packed world of professional demolition engineers as they use all their skills to fire off the perfect blast.

Central Steam, fascinating access behind the scenes at preserved steam heritage railway, the Great Central Railway.

The series follows a year in the life of the railway, as we meet some of the seven hundred staff and volunteers who share their passion for the golden age of steam. Over the series we meet engine drivers and firemen, chefs, engineers, and visiting celebrities including artist David Shepherd and pop mogul Pete Waterman. And not to mention visiting engines including ‘Tornado’, ‘Oliver Cromwell’, and the vintage ‘Sir Berkeley’ that helped build the Great Central 110 years ago.

Across the series we discover the history of the railway, including the story of the TPO – the ‘Travelling Post Office’ where the post was sorted on mail trains as they sped through the night, and the ‘Windcutters’ – freight trains that carried coal from the Nottinghamshire coalfields to London and the South of England.

Special Gala events include visits by engines such as TORNADO, the first Peppercorn class A1 steam locomotive to be built in Britain since the 1960s and there are plenty of vintage visitors too including a replica of Stephenson’s ROCKET and SIR BERKELEY – an engine that helped build the railway 110 years ago! Other steam engines making regular appearances on the series include the BR standard class 7 OLIVER CROMWELL and the FAIRBURN tank engine.

As well as covering events happening along the line, the series delves into the fascinating world of the engine and wagon sheds where old locomotives, carriages and wagons are restored back to working life by the skill and passion of the engineers. One engine, the JINTY tank engine that was rescued from a scrapyard has been rebuilt over a fifteen year period by her owner and a small band of volunteers and makes her restoration debut at the Great Central.
