Solo by Junior ( Antonio Morales )


Among my friends in the Philippines, JUNIOR is known for his tunes in English like Excuse Me, It's Only Love, But If You Leave Me to mention a few... He is really a Filipino but became popular first in Spain before he became popular in the Philippines.

Thanks to Mr. AL for the tip on Junior's CD. Luckily, I got this one for less than 5 euros.

Something New In My Life by Stephen Bishop


From my earlier post, Lee Holdridge, who is the composer of the song It's Time To Say I Love You by Merrily Webber, is also the one responsible in producing the song Something New In My Life by Stephen Bishop. This song was the theme from the 1984 comedy film "MICKI and MAUDE" and was composed by Michel Legrand.

The song was first released only in Hongkong from Stephen Bishop's SLEEPING WITH GIRLS LP. Both the song and the LP was never released in US.



"Something New In My Life" by Stephen Bishop is found in Stephen Bishop's 2003 A Dance Of The Heart CD which was released in the Philippines by Polyeast Records.
