张伟珈 - 把梦写给你
 
You probably don't know what it means, but artist is Zhang Wei Jia.
     Pretty unknown artist, just picked this CD up from one of those guys I see riding their e-bike (loaded with massive speakers and a s'tload of CDs that look like little vinyl records) to a particular location and play their music. My dad and I were drawn in by the beautiful Latin-style rendition of a song that is called 过火 (Over-the-Top). The album's actually up for download (in .wav even), but since I haven't heard the album until that time I bought the CD, so I guess my 15 RMB (only a two-fitty) was worth it, more or less. 
     Up for download on the Chinese Xiaomi forums. This woman is pretty underrated IMO. The guys over on teh thread like her, which is a good thing, lol. You should download it, even though you wouldn't understand a word she says. You wouldn't be disappointed, because the album is great. Download it. You know you want to.

Use Chrome and its built-in Google Translate, meng. Simple as that.
 
You can thank me later.

Thanks.
 
I have a major aversion to Chrome, so the link is appreciated.

Elton's 2nd album 24/96 
He may have failed the audition as the lead singer for King Crimson as Reginald Dwight, but he hit it big with this album as Elton John. 
Before he succeeded as a performer, Elton had his first musical success as part of a songwriting team with Bernie Taupin.  
Taupin could write lyrics for a song in one hour and Elton could set music to the lyrics in 1/2 hour.

  The group turned down Elton and hired Greg Lake who took their PA equipment as his payment, and so the story goes.
Maybe, worked out in the end, better for both.

I think so, to think it could of been bryan ferry - dont like the chap at all.  Roxy who - *****!
