A good morning little schoolgirl,
can I go home with you?
Tell your mama and your daddy,
that I'm a little schoolboy too

Baby I love you,
I just can't help help myself
You're so good looking pretty babe,
I don't need nobody else

Born in New York City to nurse (and former dancer) Sue Jones and sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar, Norah Jones was raised exclusively by her mother in the U.S., receiving little contact with her father or the Indian half of her heritage. When she turned four Jones was relocated to a suburb of Dallas, where she developed an interest in music by way of her mother's Billie Holiday records and participation in the church choir. Piano lessons soon followed, as well as a brief affair with alto saxophone; by the time she had enrolled in Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, music had become the focus of her ambitions. On the day of her 16th birthday she made her debut performance at a Dallas coffeehouse, choosing Holiday's I'll Be Seeing You as the song with which to announce her entrance into the life of a public entertainer. Jones excelled in her studies, earning multiple performance and composition awards, and gaining entrance into the University of North Texas as a jazz piano major shortly after her high school graduation.
An opportunity to sublet a friend's apartment in Greenwich Village during the summer of 1999 brought the young performer's studies to an abrupt end: captivated by the thriving Manhattan music scene, Jones came to the decision that she wanted to immerse herself in it full-time. The next year was spent performing with the trip-hop band Wax Poetic, but eventually she put together a quartet of her own, and the final pieces to her music career were in place; with this band a collection of demo songs was recorded in mid-2000, and by the beginning of 2001 a contract with the jazz label Blue Note had been secured. Work on what would become her debut album proceded throughout 2001, during which time Jones made an appearance on guitarist Charlie Hunter's Songs from the Analog Playground (providing vocals for cover versions of Roxy Music's More Than This and Nick Drake's Day is Done), as well as working as a member of his live band.
With the release of Come Away With Me in early 2002, Jones' life was suddenly and dramtically changed. Critical and public response to the debut was enormous: the album became one of the year's biggest sellers, climbing to the top of both the jazz and mainstream charts and scoring eight Grammy awards (including those for Record Of The Year and Best New Artist). Following all the uproar, Jones made an attempt to continue her life as usual; not surprisingy, this attempt proved hopeless. Suddenly thrust into the international spotlight, every aspect of her life, from her housing circumstances to her relationship with her estranged father, became media fodder. The singer managed to keep from being overwhelmed by the avalanche of attention, however, and followed up Come Away in 2004 with her sophomore effort Feels Like Home.

Died March 28, 1995 (aged 32)
Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.
Occupation Actor
Spouse Angela Clayton (m. 28 March 1992–until his death 28 March 1995)
Children Sean Carroll O'Connor (b. 1993)
Parents Carroll O'Connor and Nancy Fields
Hugh O'Connor was born in Rome, Italy. When he was six days old he was adopted by Carroll O'Connor and his wife Nancy. Carroll was in Rome filming Cleopatra. He was named after Carroll O'Connor's brother, who died in a motorcycle accident in 1961. When he was 16 he was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. He survived the cancer with chemotherapy and two surgeries, but became addicted to drugs. He had been taking prescription drugs for the pain and marijuana for nausea. He quickly became addicted to harder drugs. Despite numerous stays at rehabilitation clinics, he never conquered his addiction.
He was married to Angela Clayton, a wardrobe assistant on In the Heat of the Night, on March 28, 1992, and their son Sean Carroll O'Connor was born in 1993.
On March 28, 1995, the third anniversary of his marriage, O'Connor called his father to tell him he was going to end his life. He told his father he believed he could not beat the drugs and could not face another drug rehabilitation program. Carroll called the police, who arrived at Hugh's Pacific Palisades home just as he shot himself in the head. The police later determined he had cocaine in his blood.
Hugh O'Connor was cremated and his remains buried at the Church of St. Susanna in Rome, Italy. He has a cenotaph at his father's gravesite, leading many people to believe that he is buried there.
Legal issues
Six months before Hugh's death Angela told Carroll O'Connor that a man named Harry Perzigian had been furnishing the younger O'Connor with drugs. Carroll had retained a private detective to investigate. About a week before Hugh's death his father brought the evidence to the Los Angeles Police asking them to arrest Perzigian. Several hours after Hugh's death, his father publicly named Perzigian as the man who caused his son's death. Harry Perzigian was arrested the next day for drug possession and furnishing cocaine, after a search of his apartment turned up cocaine and drug paraphernalia. In January of 1996 he was sentenced to a year in jail, a $1,000.00 fine, 200 hours' community service and three years' probation.
Perzigian later sued Carroll O'Connor for slander for calling him a "sleazeball" and saying "he was a partner in murder, not an accessory, a partner in murder" in an interview with Diane Sawyer on ABC's Primetime Live. After a highly publicized civil trial Carroll O'Connor was found not liable. He dedicated much of the rest of his life to speaking out on drug awareness.
The Hugh O'Connor Memorial Law
After Hugh's death, his father successfully lobbied to get the State of California to pass legislation that allows family members of an addicted person or anyone injured by a drug dealer's actions, including employers, to sue for reimbursement for medical treatment and rehabilitation costs. The law, known as the Drug Dealer Civil Liability Act in California, went into effect in 1997.
Eleven other states followed with similar legislation, which has been referred to as The Hugh O'Connor Memorial Law.
In April 1997 the Florida Senate unanimously passed The Hugh O'Connor Memorial Act, which allows people injured by drug dealers to sue for damages.

In her most famous role, Jennifer Grey played the teenaged girl on vacation with her family, and fell for Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing. She was also memorable as the bitchy kid sister of noted truant Matthew Broderick in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and in Red Dawn she played a guerrilla girl fighting the Soviet Union's invasion and occupation of America.
Grey had always been unhappy with her somewhat distinctive nose, and in the early 1990s she underwent two separate operations to have the nose reconstructed. The rhinoplasty left Grey every bit as pretty as any of 50,000 other actresses in Hollywood, but also left her completely unrecognizable as Jennifer Grey. Even her biggest fans and longtime friends no longer recognized her. Her post-surgical résumé is remarkably free of any memorable movies. In a short-lived 1999 sitcom, It's Like, You Know, Grey played a character named Jennifer Grey, an actress whose nose job had left her unrecognizable. In interviews, she has described the nose job as "a mistake". She has rarely been seen on TV or in films since her sitcom was cancelled. She is the daughter of stage actor and Cabaret MC Joel Grey, and granddaughter of musical parody performer and Borscht Belt comedian Mickey Katz.

Born March 27, 1917(1917-03-27)
in Cayce, Mississippi, USA
Died December 5, 2001 in Memphis, Tennessee
Occupation(s) Vocalist
Rufus Thomas was a rhythm and blues and soul singer from Memphis, Tennessee, who recorded on Sun Records in the 1950s and on Stax Records in the 1960s and 1970s. He was the father of soul singer Carla Thomas ("B-A-B-Y") and keyboard player Marvell Thomas. A third daughter, Vaneese, a former French teacher, for years had a recording studio in upstate New York where she sang for television commercials.
Born a sharecropper's son in the rural community of Cayce, Mississippi, Thomas moved to Memphis with his family at age 2. His mother was “a church woman.” Thomas made his artistic debut at the age of 6 playing a frog in a school theatrical production. Much later in life, he would impersonate all kinds of animals: screeching cats, funky chickens and penguins, and mournful dogs. By age 10, he was a tap dancer, performing in amateur productions at Memphis' Booker T. Washington High School.
Thomas attended one semester at Tennessee A&I University, but due to economic conditions left to pursue a career as a professional entertainer, joining up in 1936 with the Rabbit Foot Minstrels, an all-black revue that toured the South. He then worked for twenty-two years at a textile plant and didn't leave that job until about 1963, around the time of his “Dog” hits. He started at WDIA in 1951 (despite biographies placing his start a year earlier). At WDIA, he hosted an afternoon show and Hoot and Holler. WDIA, featuring an African-American format, was known as "the mother station of the Negroes" and became an important source of blues and R&B music for a generation, its audience consisting of white as well as black listeners. Thomas's mentor was Nat D. Williams, a pioneer black deejay at WDIA as well as Thomas's high school history teacher, columnist for black newspapers, and host of an amateur show at Memphis's Palace Theater. For years Thomas himself took hosting duties for the amateur show and, in that capacity, is credited with the discovery of B.B. King.
Professional singing career
He made his professional singing debut at the Elks Club on Beale Street in Memphis, filling in for another singer at the last minute. He made his first 78 rpm record in 1943 for the Star Talent label in Texas, "I'll Be a Good Boy", backed with "I'm So Worried."
He also become an on-air personality with WDIA, one of the first radio stations in the US to feature an all-black staff and programming geared toward blacks. He become one of the station's most popular DJs.
His celebrity was such that in 1953 he recorded an "answer record" to Big Mama Thornton's hit, "Hound Dog" called "Bear Cat" and released on Sun Records. Although the song was the label's first hit, a copyright-infringement suit ensued and nearly bankrupted Sam Phillips' record label. Later, Rufus was one of the African American artists released by Sam Phillips as he oriented his label more toward white audiences and signed the likes of Elvis Presley in the place of the dismissed musicians.
Nevertheless, Rufus remembered spinning Elvis discs on WDIA. Management at the station forbade the deejays from playing Elvis during the years from 1953 to 1956. "They said blacks wouldn't listen to Elvis. I tried to play him, I tried to tell them. No one can speak for a whole group." At a major WDIA benefit in 1956 Rufus appeared, dressed as Chief Rocking Horse, and led Elvis onto stage in front of an all-black audience, arguing that introductions should be held until the end of the show, lest wild applause ensue. After Elvis did his pelvic gyration that evening, the inevitable frenzy of the kids in the audience did in fact drown out the emcees, proving Rufus right. "After that night," recalled Rufus, "we were allowed to play Elvis."
The prime of Rufus's recording career came in the 1960s and early 1970s, when he was on the Stax roster, having one of the first hit sides at that historic label. At Stax, he recorded songs when he had something to record, as tunes came up, never collecting songs to be done in blocks. Songs were usually recorded in one or two takes, live. No one ever had a good idea which sides would make hits at Stax, the artists had no control over what got released, and little of what went on was plotted out or scripted in any way.
Rufus was often backed by Booker T. and the MG's or the Bar-Kays, and his bands included many of the era's finest musicians. "I'll tell you a story," Rufus once explained, "not many people know this one. It was the same club where I later wrote 'Do the Funky Chicken,' in Covington, Tennessee. I had two guitar players, I can’t remember the second one’s name at the time, but the first one was a young guy, playin' just terrible, loud, out of tune, all over the place. After a while, I said, 'Send him home, I can't use a guitar player who plays like that.' That dude was Jimi Hendrix."
Late in his career, for years, Rufus performed at the Porretta Soul Festival in Porretta Terme, Italy. In 1996 Rufus and William Bell headlined at the Olympics in Atlanta. In September 1997, he thrilled a crowd of fans at the Framingham (Massachusetts) Blues Festival with his performance, which included an updated version of "Walking the Dog," and completely upstaged the other performers on the bill (including Leon Russell and Levon Helm).
A baseball devotee, Rufus was a fan of the Atlanta Braves. He claimed never to be able to turn down ice cream--and favored vanilla drenched in maraschino cherry juice. His beverages of choice, rather than roadhouse specialties, were sweetened iced tea and fruit-flavored sodas. Until late in his life, he remained an avid listener of music, respecting artists as diverse as Prince, Preston Shannon, and Denise Lasalle. A collaboration with alternative band Jon Spencer Blues Explosion was not so successful as his own later recordings. Highlights of his career included calming an unruly crowd at the early 'seventies Wattstax Festival, performing with James Brown's band, and the knowledge that, along with James Brown and a handful of others, he was a key to the emergence of funk.
Unsuccessful recordings
He recorded three songs for the Meteor record label, none of which were hits, and continued to perform in clubs and on the radio.
Hit records
Thomas had a number of hits in the late 1960s and early 1970s, notably a string of songs that were tied to a then-current dance craze: "Do the Funky Chicken", from 1970[1] (instructions for which can be found here[2]), "(Do the) Push and Pull", "The Breakdown" and "Do the Penguin". He performed at Wattstax in 1972, leading a crowd of 40,000 in the "Funky Chicken."
He played an important part in the Stax reunion in 1988, and had a small role in the 1989 Jim Jarmusch film Mystery Train, (Screamin' Jay Hawkins was also in the film, as a motel night clerk, and Joe Strummer also appeared in it). Rufus released an album of straight-ahead blues, That Woman is Poison!, with Alligator Records in 1990.
Thomas was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2001.
Last appearance: the D.A. Pennebaker-directed documentary "Only the Strong Survive" (2003) in which he co-stars with daughter Carla.

This 30ish, Belgian, Dominican Nun known as Sister Luc-Gabrielle became an international star in 1964 with her #1 hit record Dominique However, Sister Luc-Gabrielle-now billed as Soeur Sourire (Sister Smile) felt uncomfortable with her new-found celebrity and retreated from performing in 1965.
Two years later she left the convent to pursue a new life as a singer and artist (her watercolor-paintings adorned her album covers and were displayed annually by the Dominican order). Together with her friend Annie Pescher(rumored to be her lover) Jeanne Deckers embarked on a celebrity trail which openly criticized the church, supported birth-control and ultimately led to her demise into obscurity.
In the 1980s Jeanne and Annie purchased and operated a school for special-needs children. But it was ultimately ruined by financial troubles (she supposedly owed over $47,000 in back taxes from her "singing Nun" days).
Destitute and depressed Jeanne and Annie committed suicide together on March 23, 1985.

Holly Hunter is a tart but likable American actress, best known for making wacky women sympathetic on the screen. In her most famous roles, she played a cop in love with ex-con Nicolas Cage in Raising Arizona, a neurotic news executive in Broadcast News, a pianist waiting to be played in Jane Campion's The Piano, and a woman aroused by car accidents in David Cronenberg's Crash.
She was raised on a farm in Georgia, the youngest of six children. She studied drama at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University, and shared an apartment with Frances McDormand while both were struggling actresses in New York. When McDormand made Joel and Ethan Coen's Blood Simple, Hunter snagged an off-screen part as a voice on an answering machine. The Coens later wrote Raising Arizona with Hunter in mind, and she co-starred in their O Brother, Where Art Thou?

I can't sleep nights because I feel so restless
I don't know what to do I feel so helpless
And since you've been away
I cry both night and day
I don't know why I love you but I do

My days have been so lonely
My nights have been so blue
I don't know how I stand it, but I do

Each night I sit alone and tell myself
That I will fall in love with someone else
I guess I'm waistin' time
But I've got to clear my mind
I don't know why I love you but I do
