Alain devoted himself more and more to writing the poems and text messages which he loved whilst at boarding school. Being a daydreamer, his mother decided to send him to a French college in The united kingdom. Following problems with his registration he did not start but wound up staying in London where he worked in a pub. This time in London helped him to emerge from himself. On returning to England, he took up playing the guitar and composed several songs. It became a passion. He lived in a lift whilst going for auditions but they located nothing. He listened to all the great English and American performers of the period with admiration which also influenced him.
In 1969 he met his future wife, Françoise and they were married in 1970. The same year his son Pierre came to be. He continued to sing out in cabarets and bars of the Rive Gauche, the literary and intelligent one fourth of Paris, france. He made very little money but his wife encourage him to persevere. Finally in 1971, he landed his first contract with the Pathe-Marconi label but he still did not find success.
1973 marked the end of the young singer’s hard work. He made the associate of Bob Socquet, the artistic director of RCA who was very interested in the repertoire of the disillusioned Alain Souchon. Bob Socquet had just written “L’amour 1930” for a romantic Italian language singer but he encouraged Alain to sing out this song at the Rose D’Or of Antibes tournament. It was his first success.
Alain then met Laurent Voulzy, an adolescent musician born in 1948 and brought up on Anglo Saxon music whoever career had not yet flourished. The partnership between these two performers immediately shot to popularity. Their individuality associated each other and their work improved very quickly. Alain was the stronger at the lyrics whilst Voulzy provided the music. They cut their first album in 1974 called “J’ai 10 ans” which emphasised the elegant style of Souchon and the modernity of Voulzy. After years on the cabaret scene, Alain Souchon is finally realised for his talent and in 1975 cuts a second album called “Bidon” which is Voulzy wrote all the music. This became an enormous success. By 1977 he previously continued success with the album “Jamais content”. The song “Allo maman bobo” headers his style of male brittleness how the singer asserts. Another song “Poulailler’s Song” evokes racist humour. Regardless that Souchon is an incorrigible dreamer, he liked to tackle certain problems.
The writing together of Souchon and Voulzy also had divided benefits for Laurent Voulzy who in 1977, obtained success with “Rockcollection” in collaboration with Souchon. The two men singled out themselves in Brittany for several weeks at a time to write new pictures. They worked well together and in 1978 Alain Souchon presented another album “Toto 30 ans”. This album is dark than usual but the public still warms to it. The singles “Le Bagdad de Lann Bihoue” and “Papa Mambo” are huge success. This compact disk also marks the first step of Alain Souchon towards the movie theatre as the 토토사이트 film director Francois Truffaut commissions him to write the title song of his film “L’Amour en fuite”.
In 1978, Alain’s second son Charles, came to be. A few months later, in Economy is shown 1980, Alain is invited to sing out at l’Olympia which is indeed a succeed. In December he returned for nine nights where Laraunt Voulzy joined him once to sing out two new songs together.
In 1980, the album “Rame” was released on which Alain Souchon’s old friend Michel Jonasz sang with him on the title song “Jonasz”. Since 1974, the two artists had been writing regularly together and shared the same vision. This year also sees his first forage into an acting career in “Je Vous Aime”. With Catherine Deneuve, Gerard Depardieu and Serge Gainsbourg, Alain Souchon plays a fragile and melancholic person. His acting is so much appreciated that Jean-Paul Rappeneau then asked him to star in the film “Tout feu tout flame” with Isabelle Adjani and Yves Montand. This film is a success but it is in the 1983 film “L’Ete Meurtrier” where he plays a character fatally in love alongside Isabelle Adjani that brings him real fame.
During his time in film, he previously stopped writing but in 1983 returned to vocal with the album “On avance” which was a little not the same as his others, having his friends co-write several songs. “On s’avère être si beau” with Michel Jonasz, “Les papas des bébés” with Louis Chedid and “Casablanca” with David McNeil. Only the very beautiful “Saute en l’air” was co-written with Voulzy. From the the twentieth September he played at l’Olympia and then went on tour around the country.
At the end of 1984, the Souchon and Voulzy singled out themselves between Brittany and St . Tropez to write the album “C’est comme vous voulez” which came out in 1985. In between times, Alain Souchon left the label RCA and went to Virgin. At 40 yoa, Souchon’s music became less morose as is testified by the title “J’veux de cuir”. But tenderness always been primarily in his are was welcomed in the song “La Ballade de Jim”.
In May 1986, after playing in the Palais des Sports at Paris, france, he went on tour with the singer Veronique Sanson from 11th December to 11th November. The two performers create a duet called “Chacun friday tour” which was a success not only in England, but in Belgium and Europe as well. In 1987, in the film “Comedie” by Jacque Doillon, he plays a companion of Britta Birkin. Alain Souchon made regular visits back to movie theatre but the role in “Comedie”, even though less known, is one of his most coming in contact with.
At the end of 1988, Souchon and Voulzy again exiled themselves, this time to Monaco. The work resulted in the album “Ultra Moderne solitude” presented in 1989. Alain Souchon based his new songs on the prestigious scene of the Theatre des Champ-Elysees. Amongst them was the song “La Beauté de Ava Gardner” which was voted best title of the year by the Victoire de la Musique. In September 1989, Souchon gave a recital at the Casino de Paris, france that resulted in the live Album “Nickel” released in 1990. After touring, a film or two and some rest, Alain Souchon returned to the musical scene in 1993 regarding his new more political album, “C’est deja ca”. This album, which is focused by the sound of the guitar, was an enormous success. The song “Le Fils” was co-written regarding his son, Pierre who sings in a group called Cherche Midi along with Julien Voulzy. In April 1993, he takes part in a live show to increase money for children suffering from AIDS.
At the beginning of 1994, the second on top of the album “L’Amour a la Machine” was a big success. A little later, during February, he is presented with the award for Best Song of the Year and Best Male Artist at the Victoires de la Musique, after which he sold regarding green million copies of his album. He returned to play at L’Olympia from the 17th May to 11th August. From April he fills the four thousand seats of the Zenith for three early evenings. At the end of this success, a live album is released at the end of April 1995. At this time, regarding green million pictures had already been sold. In the end, 200, 000 vistors located see him sing out on his last tour.

Then in 1997 prior to going on tour, Alain Souchon returned to the Casino de Paris, france with “Sol en Si”, alongside the singer Zazie.
Carving out popular songs, Souchon made yet another album with Voulzy in December 1999 called “Aux ras de paquerettes”. These songs were a little more pessimistic than usual, the music a little more nostalgic. On the occasion of a new CD, Alain Souchon’s son Charles, set up an online site. Very lively and funny, this site holds surprises such as the sale of his american platinum eagle compact disk received for his last album. An admirer put a bid in for 8, 700francs and Souchon donated the money to help injured birds following the shipwreck of the oiltanker Erika.

Pulling off of an incredibly successful album debut after a long hiatus of releases, the legendary Armin van Buuren has unleashed years of work to the masses around the world. His Intense album has been a massive production project since day one, which included a plethora of lyricists and a variety of different Trance styles. After his recent collaboration with W&W on D# Fat and his certain song selections in his current sets, many die hard fans had feared the worst: that he had forgotten his roots and jumped on the bandwagon into what was popular with Electro lines and Trouse sensibilities. However, Armin had put those rousing fears to rest with the release of his brilliant Who Is Afraid Of 138?! track on Intense. First premiered as his opening track during his 138 set at Den Bosh for the ASOT 600 Expedition Tour, it brings back a nostalgic view of his older productions and showcases that he still has the chops to make the music that had made him successful. He himself is an advent supporter of the faster styles of Trance, often devoting the second hour of his radio show to heavily support these talented artists. After realizing the immense success of the 138 stage in Den Bosh, he has released his own WAO138 label, whose first self titled release of Who Is Afraid Of 138?! will feature two remixes from the astounding talents of Photographer and Jordan Suckley.

There Was a Little Girl - Brooke Shields- Interesting read..
Actress and author of the New York Times bestseller Down Came the Rain, Brooke Shields, explores her relationship with her unforgettable mother, Teri, in her new memoir.
Thought provoking and enjoyable read, especially for those understanding this type of family constellation. Brooke Shields has a good grasp of most things she remembers herself, however some things that were related to her seem a bit distorted.
I did like it and think she did a good job with both her book and her accomplishments. Borrowed from my library and recommended.

If anyone saw last summer’s This is the End, it might tickle you to know that the paintings which appeared in the movie in homage to Franco bestie Seth Rogen may not be that far from the truth.

Franco and Rogen have been pals since the teen television series Freaks and Geeks (1999-2000):

This post is dedicated to a true Style Icon of the 60s, 70s and beyond: Cilla Black.
I recently watched a TV series about Cilla’s life (made by ITV, you can get it on Lovefilm) starring Sheridan Smith. It showed the Merseybeat scene at it’s height and I was fascinated to learn Cilla had grown up in the same neighbourhood as members of the Beatles and that it was them who had given Cilla her big break.
I’ve also found a new respect for Cilla as a vocalist. She had eleven Top Ten hits in the 60s and ‘Anyone Who Had a Heart’ was the biggest selling single by a female recording artist. These are big statistics for a female in a time when lots of new music was around. I’ve sometimes found her voice a little harsh and difficult to tune into but seeing Sheridan Smith perform some of the songs showed me just how powerful her voice was. Some of the numbers she was singing were written by Burt Bacharach and were proper powerhouse compositions – not easy to perform. She delivered them with the right amount of light and shade, with emotion and guts.
As for what she wore, well. She was alive during one of the greatest periods for fashion and she certainly made the most of it.
She had a fantastic figure and the trends of the day looked amazing on her.
I love the album covers of the 60s – I’m not sure many people could carry off that paisley pattern but I think you’ll agree Cilla has managed it.
Again hot pants are not forgiving on many figures, but this look is amazing on her.
Managed by Brian Epstein of Beatles fame, Cilla had a successful singing career throughout the 60s and 70s. When Epstein was found dead he was supposedly surrounded by paperwork and one of the documents was a contract for Cilla to host a TV show. This is how I came to know Cilla. When I was a child she was a TV presenter.
I remember her in suits with padded shoulders as was the fashion of the 80s. She was down to earth and funny and people seemed to love her. She also didn’t seem to realise those responses the Blind Date contestants gave were obviously scripted!
She always seemed to be in amazing heels and with perfectly manicured nails. She even managed to make those 80s suits look good. Her other big show of his era being ‘Surprise, Surprise’ where she reunited lost families, fulfilled long held wishes for members of the audience and took part in pranks.
I think her success lay in the fact she was always herself. She was loved for her down to earth persona and the fact she always had a smile and a ready laugh. She was true to her roots – no elocution here, thank you – and of course, how can I not mention her life long commitment to husband Bobby.
They are one of those rare showbiz couples that were completely in love from day one until Cilla sadly lost Bobby in 1999. It is perhaps not entirely glib to suggest she may have gone on to be with him somewhere. I love a love story like theirs.
It’s sad to say good bye but Cilla leaves a legacy of music and TV behind her that any performer could be very proud of.
It is with memories of a lorra lorra laughs I say:
It’s only vintage but I like it!

Subject: Africa Celebrates Congo's Franco
Date: Sun, 12 Oct 2003 11:03:58 -0700
Lingala maestro Luambo Luanzo Makiadi. His fans mark Franco's Day tomorrow.
Exactly 14 years ago tomorrow, one of Africa's greatest musicians, Congolese maestro Luambo Luanzo Makiadi, Franco to many of his fans, died in a hospital in Brussels, Belgium.
With his death, the curtain came down on one of gurus of lingala band music. Franco was such a big star, with his TP OK Jazz, which had nearly 50 musicians, that they operated as more of a fully-fledged company.
While his many fans miss the numerous hits he churned out month after month year after year, the other big losers were the many musicians he brought under his wings and tirelessly honed their talents.
Many of the big names in Congolese music passed through Franco's hands. Even the ones who did not belong to the band proper, did some memorable collaborations with the burly lead guitarist, singer, and composer. He did collaborations with Tabu Ley, yielding one of the greatest albums, Lisanga ya Banganga. With Sam Mangwana, he recorded Co-operation. With Ndombe Opetum, he did some exciting songs.
Notably as for Ndombe his son Babi Ndombe is now one of the leading proponents of the new generation of Congolese musicians where he is performing with Werra Son's Orch Wenge Musica Maison Mere.
The group he is now performing with is as among those in the fourth generation who have been seen to attempt to bridge the gap between the new and old generation of Congolese musicians.
Unlike in the past the style used by the fourth generation both the middle aged and younger generation of musicians. The up-tempo beat which incorporates more of the techno-beats appears to have taken over the minds of most Lingala music fans.
Incidentally also Paris based Congolese musician Awilo Longomba a sibling of the legendary Vicky Longomba (a long-time associate of the Franco) is one of the proponents of the techno-Soukous music style.
He is best known for some of his popular songs like Coupe Bipamba and Moyen Te.
Incidentally Longomba in an effort to follow the footsteps of the elder Longomba incorporated some tracks in the Rhumba beats on the CD Moto Pamba like Dati Petrole
In Kenya the
Longomba dynasty is extended through The Longombas
popularly know for the dance track Dondosa.
The Longombas (twins), Christian and Lovy are sons to the late Lovy Longomba a step brother to Awilo.
Lovy was reputed as one of the top singers and composers on the Kenya lingala music scene as from the late 1970's to the mid-90's.
Also based in Nairobi is J.P. Lola a son of veteran vocalist Lola Checain who was a long-serving vocalist with Franco's TP OK Jazz band.
According to Kasongo wa Kanema the leader of the Nairobi based Orch
Super Mazembe band, Franco's music was unique in composition
making it an
everlasting favourite to listen.
During live shows it is common to have most musicians play
Franco's songs which most of the musicians do regard as a source
of inspiration, Kasongo said.
Kasongo also pointed out that a bigger difference existed between the music of the yester-years and that of today in terms of beats and arrangements.
In the past musicians took their time to compose and arrange more
original works contrary to the present situation where most of the
musicians in a move to release more songs rely heavily on
techno-beats, he added.
This in a way explains why many compilations of the late Franco's music has in the recent past started slowly creeping back to the music shelves.
Veteran US based Congolese producer and musician Mekanisi Modero in a recent interview with Review singled out Franco's music as being ever inspiring to all.
Regarding Congolese entertainment in general, I do believe that
there's a kind of lull however they have been good efforts from
some former associates like Sam Mangwana, Josky Kiambukuta and Madilu
System who recently released songs doing well both in Europe and the
US, Mekanisi said.
Veteran producer Justus Kasoya of Tamasha Corporation in Nairobi (formerly Polygram Records) says Franco's music has always been exciting to listen to due to the extended beat.
At this time of the year when music fans go down to remember sales
of his music usually tend to pick up, he said.
Among Franco's proteges were Lutumba Simaro Massiya, popularly referred to as Le Poet, who was for many years, his deputy band leader. Lutumba succeeded Franco on his death, but after quarrels with his family over leadership, quit with a number of other musicians to form Bana OK.
Franco's family still controls the TP OK Jazz label and the equipment and recent reports indicate that they do occasionally hire them out to other musicians.
Simaro recently returned to Kinshasa from a tour of Europe without most of the band members amid speculations that there was a rift within the group.
Veteran singers Josky Kiambukuta and Ndombe are among those who have been in the frontline of the Bana OK bands which consists of many former members of Franco's TP OK Jazz band who have been touring Europe.
They are on record as having been consistent with the tempo of the TP OK band.
There is also Madilu System, who has gone on to do well in his solo career. In the neighbouring Congo Republic, Franco's greatest ally was Prince Youlou Mabiala.
Franco used his music to convey social messages. But he was so adept at the lead guitar the commentary, in a conversational style in which he posed and answered questions, took chunks of his long records, lasting more than five minutes.
Rhumba lovers will sample tracks from the legendary musician's large discography ranging from the earlier days in the 1950's of Bolingo na Beatrice, Motema ya Loko (1957), Mado yo Sango and Malambo zela (1958).
Into the sixties others can sample a variety of his better known ones
he recorded with some of his earlier associates like Vicky Longomba,
Landot Rossignol, Joseph Mulamba
Mujos Kwamy Munsi and Lola
The songs include Rhumba favourites like Lobela Ngai Nyonso Oyokaki, Oye Oye and Malambo zela Ngai.
Some of the better known later hit songs by the late Franco and his TP OK Jazz include Mario, Azda, Tokoma ba camarade Pamba, Mado and Pesa Position.
Franco's rivalry with some of his counterparts like Tabu Ley Rochereau also greatly enhanced his prowess.
However it was the late Paul Ebongo (Dewayon) who was seen to have been his main source of inspiration when it came to playing the guitar.
Also during his heydays he was closely in association with Joseph Kabasele (aka Grand Kalle) who was widely respected as the innovator of the popular Rhumba Cha Cha Cha .
Franco and Tabu Ley jointly recorded Kabasele in Memoriam that was in tribute to Grand Kalle who died on February 1983.
It was in the same year 1983 that Franco led his group to a tour of Kenya when they staged several shows. The group later twice visited Kenya (in 1986 and 1987).
Franco's fans will also recall singer Madilu System's resurgence in the TP OK Jazz band through songs like Non, Mamou (Tu Vois) and Fabrice (1983).
Incidentally it was Mamou which appeared to have moved most of the
fans with the lyrics depicting
a lively conversation between two
women, a divorcee and a married one who accuses the former of trying
to break up her marriage.
The song also includes a telephone conversion part where bassist Mpudi Decca mimics a lady's voice on telephone.
As for Mangwana who now lives in Europe he is still remembered for his role particularly for his last recording with Franco Forever.
But where are some of the other former members of the TP OK Jazz band?
Scores of former associates of Franco are now leaving in Europe and America.
Among them include Thierry Mantuika, Nedule Papa Noel, Fan Fan Mosese,
Dizzy Mandjeku (lead guitarists), Decca Mpudi, Pierrot Tshitolo
Gandhi, Petit Pierre (bass and rhythm guitarists).
Sax, Ngewanzola, Souris (Sax and trumpet), Diato
Lukoki, Lokombe, Wuta Mayi, Malage de Lugendo, Sami Bumba Masa, Akumu
Nana, Bambo Baniel, (singers), Nado Kakoma (drummer).
Other former members of the band also in Europe and Africa include Mayaula Mayoni of Cherie Bondowe fame who has been living in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Djo Djo Ikomo in Kinshasa. Most of these musicians have all along in their recordings never failed to acknowledge Franco's name in their recordings.
Meanwhile it will be all systems go from tonight as Kenyan fans of Franco's music join others is marking the Francos' day starting from tonight to tomorrow at various spots.

When I made my way to see Lennon – Through A Glass Onion at Dundee’s Caird Hall recently, with my Beatles fan Dad in tow, I really wasn’t sure what to expect. Naturally, I knew all about The Beatles, but the life of John Lennon – not so much! Obviously I knew the basics – the move to the big apple, the in the bed protests with Yoko Ono and his horrific murder, but the rest was well, it was all a bit sketchy to say the least. So you could say I was looking forward to being enlightened! The fact that John and the rest of The Beatles had actually graced the Caird Hall’s stage back in the 1960s – only added to my anticipation!
The show, which is part concert, part biography, stars the very talented Daniel Taylor, who is a musician in his own right. The production begins on the fateful day that Lennon died, before looping back to his time with The Beatles before moving on to his solo career. As you can imagine, the soundtrack was amazing and included all the hits such as Imagine, Woman, Working Class Hero, and Jealous Guy as well as some of Lennon’s collaborations with McCartney, including Strawberry Fields Forever and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
Filled with insights about John’s relationship with his bandmates and the love of his life Yoko Ono, the show gets to grips with the man behind the music and separates the facts from the myths and legends. I thoroughly enjoyed the show and would recommend it to anyone looking to know more about Lennon’s life.

Before Lil Kim, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, there was Betty Davis, shaking her behind, grinding her hips and joyfully delivering raunchy lyrics to both fans and naysayers.
In the documentary film, “Betty: They Say I’m Different,” we witness Betty Davis’s transformation from a creative daddy’s girl in Pittsburg to an erotic, in-your-face performer in New York City from the early to mid-1970s.
Betty Davis, born Betty Mabry in Durham, N.C. in 1946, moved outside Pittsburgh with her family when she was 12 and became Betty Davis after she married jazz great Miles Davis. …
Murder to Mercy: The Cyntoia Brown Story
By Alicia Benjamin
When we see Cyntoia Brown in the opening scenes of the Netflix film, Murder to Mercy: The Cyntoia Brown Story, she very obviously needs help. She’s a 16-year-old adolescent runaway who slurs her words and pleads to be understood after killing a man.
Brown, who had been beaten, pimped and raped while living on the streets in Nashville, became involved with a 23-year-old man known as Cut-Throat who forced Brown to work as a prostitute.
In August of 2004, 43-year-old Johnny Allen solicited Brown for sex, then took her…


Julia Child's kitchen is preserved at the Smithsonian Institution; she was the first woman inducted into the Culinary Institute of America's Hall of Fame; in August 2009, the story of her life came to the big screen. And what a generation of Americans who grew up watching The French Chef on television in the 1960s remembers most about her is the joy she brought to cooking.
Born in 1912 in Pasadena, Calif., Julia moved to Paris with her husband, Paul, in 1948. While Paul worked at the American embassy, she struggled, like many women of her generation, to find something meaningful to do. Once she settled on learning to cook, she never gave up.
After graduating from a year-long course at L'Ecole du Cordon Bleu, she collaborated with Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle on the first of two volumes of Mastering the Art of French Cooking, published in the United States in 1961. Julia began promoting book sales on Boston's public broadcasting station when the Childs returned to the States. From the first omelet she whisked together in a copper bowl and cooked on the show, Julia was a hit. The station signed her up as the host of "The French Chef" series, and the legend was born.
Like many high-profile personalities—from presidents to pop-stars—Julia was lampooned by Dan Ackroyd on Saturday Night Live, a segment so widely talked about and later circulated on YouTube that a bleeding, absent-minded buffoon is how many people know her. And with the release of Julie & Julia, there may be another generation who knows Julia only as portrayed by Meryl Streep.
But there was much more to the towering 6-foot 2-inch woman than cookbook author and teacher, slapstick caricature and big-screen icon. Known for her sense of humor, she reminded viewers, "You are alone in the kitchen, and no one can see you," as she replaced a potato pancake in the pan after she flipped it onto the countertop during a taping. And on more than one occasion, she revealed the secret to her longevity: "Red meat and gin."
She was unapologetic as she wrote in Mastering's introduction: "This is a book for the servantless American cook who can be unconcerned on occasion with budgets, waistlines, time schedules, children's meals, the parent-chauffeur-den mother syndrome or anything else which might interfere with the enjoyment of producing something wonderful to eat." And that's the thing to remember most about her—the joy she had in producing something wonderful to eat.

Julie & Julia: The Movie
Julie Powell and Julia Child never met in real life. But Hollywood brought them together in Julie & Julia, the movie based on the memoirs of both women. Amy Adams plays Powell, who spent a year making all 524 recipes in Mastering the Art of French Cooking, chronicling the experience in an online blog. Meryl Streep is Child, whose autobiographical My Life in France describes her beginnings as a chef, author and television personality who introduced America to the delights of French cuisine in the 1960s. Writer-director Norah Ephron parallels the two stories, even though they happen nearly half a century apart, in a way that shows how both women "found themselves" through journeys of culinary discovery. Adams, familiar to moviegoers from her recent star turns in Enchanted, Doubt and Night at the Museum, donned a perky brown wig to play Powell. Streep had to overcome a more significant physical challenge for her part in Julie & Julia: She's a good eight inches shorter than Child. But Hollywood always finds a way—in this case, high heels and low camera angles!—Neil Pond, American Profile

When the thirteen year old Margaret Tudor, eldest daughter of Henry VII and his wife Elizabeth of York, married King James IV of Scotland in a magnificent proxy ceremony held at Richmond Palace in January 1503, no one could have guessed that this pretty, redheaded princess would go on to have a marital career as dramatic and chequered as that of her younger brother Henry VIII.
Margaret Tudor, the eldest daughter of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. Ever heard of her?
As a child she lived in luxury in the royal nursery with Prince Henry and Princess Mary. There were others but they died young, and Prince Arthur had his own household elsewhere. At the age of 13, after losing her brother Prince Arthur, her mother and then her grandmother, Lady Margaret Beaufort, Princess Margaret married King James IV of Scotland, who was 29.
That’s about the time her life got complicated. Poor lass, her first husband slept around on her, her second and third husbands were abusive theives, her brother was a dick to her, she was separated from her daughter, and people who were supposed to support her didn’t. She wasn’t the most intelligent or educated woman and didn’t really care for politics, but she did her best when she was dropped in the muck, to help her son on to the throne and keep him there. She tried to act as peace maker between her husband, and then her son, and her brother, however the distrust between monarchs put paid to all her efforts.
This is a sympathetic and easy to read biography of a rather unfairly obscure but important woman in a formative time in early modern Europe.

For my analysis paper I chose one of my favorite TV host andinspirational leader, Oprah Winfrey. Overcoming abuse in herchildhood, Oprah has taken life like a bull by the horns and hasdefinitely carved out a place for herself in history. Her courage,wisdom and genuine nature have landed her numerous awards andthe respect of millions worldwide. Among other game changerssuch as Margaret Thatcher and Neil Armstrong, Oprah hasreceived numerous awards including the Presidential Medal ofFreedom. I chose her because she grew an empire in front of oureyes and yet remained a simple and humble person.I think the most outstanding leadership quality of Oprah is heremotional intelligence. Itboosts self-awareness, monitors feelings,improves communication skillsand increases social awareness. Inaddition it helps prevent conflict and strengthen mediation skills.This can be easily seen through Oprah’s leadership style. Herawareness of her own vision has led her to achieve big goals while
Show MoreOprah Winfrey’s Leadership Style In her words, Oprah Winfrey's philosophy of philanthropy demonstrates her commitment to giving: "Think about what you have to give, not in terms of dollars because I believe that your life is about service. It's about what you came to give the world, to your children, to your family" (Harpo Productions). Oprah Gail Winfrey was born January 29, 1954, in Kosciusko, Mississippi. Her father, Vernon Winfrey, was a twenty-one-year-old enlisted man. Her mother, eighteen-year-old Vernita Lee, remained unmarried after Oprah's birth and tried to adjust to single parenthood. Oprah was sent to live with her grandmother and was under her care for the first six years of Oprah's life. Nurtured by love, it was here…show more content…
Beginning her career as a television reporter and anchor, Oprah went on to find success as the first black woman to host a nationally syndicated television show and the first black woman to own a production company. In 2003, Winfrey was named the first black woman billionaire and she has been named the world's most recognized person.
Despite such wealth and popularity, much of her professional, voluntary and monetary efforts have gone to support the underprivileged. Through her personal giving and support and her work through both Oprah's Angel Network and the Oprah Winfrey Foundation, Winfrey has been perhaps the most significant female African-American philanthropist in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. In the list of the world's ranking mega-leaders, there are few women. This is undoubtedly not for any lack of talent or leadership ability among women, but more likely because the step between being a good leader and being a world-renowned mega-leader is quite large, and few women or men, for that matter have been able to pull together all of the abilities and resources necessary to make it happen. In Oprah Winfrey's case, however, mega-leadership was achievable, and she has not only achieved it but keeps increasing her leadership base. Oprah Winfrey is undeniably a modern example of great leadership and a model for women everywhere who want to be leaders and

Sir Robert Bryson Hall II (born January 22, 1990), known by his stage name Logic, is an American rapper. He was born and raised in Gaithersburg, Maryland. He has amassed a large Internet following and is a member of the RattPack, his group of friends that he works with. Logic has released four official mixtapes, with the most recent being the critically acclaimed Young Sinatra: Welcome to Forever. He is currently signed with Visionary Music Group and Def Jam Recordings and released his debut album Under Pressure on October 21, 2014.
Logic was born in 1990 in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Throughout his childhood, both his African-American father and White mother suffered from crack addiction and alcoholism. His father was not a major part of his childhood, but they are in contact with each other now . Growing up, his brothers sold crack cocaine and even sold the drug to his father. He attended Gaithersburg High School but did not graduate. He began skipping classes in the tenth grade. “I started doing badly and failed every class but English, so they kicked me out of school, they gave up on me.” Logic was expelled and used his free time to dive into pursuing his music career.
At the age of 13, Logic met his mentor, Solomon Taylor. When Logic was sixteen, Taylor brought him a large number of beat CDs to write lyrics over. In 2009, Logic was going by the name Psychological because, “One name that really stuck was Psychological. I just loved this word because it was about the mind and I knew that’s what I wanted my music to consist of; something that really challenges the mind.” He released an unofficial mixtape titled Psychological: The Mixtape. under his original stage name. Later on, Logic opened for Pitbull, EPMD, Method Man, Redman, and Ludacris at a show in Maryland. Soon after, he shortened the Psychological moniker to Logic, which is the science of reasoning, to broaden his horizons.
2010–2012: Various mixtapes
On December 17, 2010, Logic released his first official mixtape, Young, Broke, and Infamous. Following its release, he dropped two music videos from the project, “Stain in the Game,” and “Backpack”. The mixtape caught the ear of Chris Zarou, who wanted Logic to be a part of his upstart independent record label Visionary Music Group.
Logic released his second mixtape, Young Sinatra, on September 19, 2011. Young Sinatra received a mass amount of positive feedback from multiple sources including XXL. He released music videos for songs such as “Mind of Logic,”, “All I Do” and “Prime”. The All I Do video was the first for Logic to hit over one million views on YouTube. On March 15, 2012, Billboard declared Logic as the Next Big Sound, meaning he was the fastest accelerating artist across the internet gaining fans. On March 20, 2012, Logic officially signed with Visionary Music Group. Logic stated in an interview, “Visionary Music Group is like Roc-A-Fella. Damon Dash, that’s like Chris Zarou of Visionary Music Group, I like to see myself as a Jay. In no way am I arrogant or cocky, I have to see it in order to do it. They did it independent and when they signed with a major, they did it the way that they wanted to do it.”
Logic released his third mixtape, Young Sinatra: Undeniable on April 30, 2012. On the mixtape, Logic addresses such topics as his future, his fans in various parts of the world, his father’s drug use, getting kicked out of school, and his mother getting stabbed. The overall sound is on a bigger level than his previous work and does an outstanding job at showing his versatility. “Fans tend to think that if you fall in love with an artist because he makes this kind of sound and then he gets bigger and he grows and he starts to make a different sound, ‘He’s changing on us.’ But with me, I created all types of sounds from the get go, so you can never say I’m changing, you can never say I’m going mainstream or I’m selling out.” In an interview, Logic states, “There’s stuff on there for the motherfuckers that don’t pay attention to lyrics and just want to have fun, but every line is constructed with such depth that the real lyricists and nitpickers have something to listen to and analyze as well.” One of Logic’s main goals for his music is to make music with a positive message, telling people to follow their dreams, whatever it may be, all while walking with honor and peace. In July/August 2012, Logic completed his first national headlining tour, the Visionary Music Group Tour, along with Tayyib Ali.
