  Title: A Big Hunk o' Love
  Passage: "A Big Hunk o' Love" is a song written by Aaron Schroeder and Sid Wyche, a.k.a. Sid Jaxon.  The former is best known for writing the jazz standard "Alright, Okay, You Win", whereas Aaron Schroeder co-wrote a whole bunch of hits from the rock`n`roll area, from "Fools Hall of Fame" (Pat Boone) to "Because They're Young" (Duane Eddy).  In an interview conducted by Jan-Erik Kjeseth, he also revealed that in fact he worked with his partner Wally Gold in order to improve a song submitted by another writer, and the end result was "It's My Party", a big hit for Lesley Gore.  Schroeder and Gold tossed a coin as to whose name should go on the record, and Gold "won".  Other titles written by the duo include "It's Now or Never" and "Good Luck Charm"; both of which - like "A Big Hunk o' Love" - were originally recorded by American rock and roll icon Elvis Presley.  "A Big Hunk o' Love" was released as a single on June 23, 1959 by RCA Victor and later topped the "Billboard" Hot 100 for two weeks.

  Passage: "再見不再見" (Pinyin: Zaijian Bu Zaijian, English: See You or Never) is a Mandopop song recorded by Malaysian singer-songwriter Shila Amzah for her 2016 debut Chinese album, "My Journey".  The song was written by Liao Yu and composed by Shila.  It was released on May 28, 2015, by Shilala (HK) Limited.  The writer of this song was inspired to write "See You or Never" after hearing Shila's sad love story as does she really want to leave her boyfriend or not.  Shila said that this song was unique as the song hasn't an ending (the song ended with "Zaijian Bu Zaijian" , questioning herself again).
  Title: Despedida (Shakira song)
  Passage: "Despedida" (English: "Farewell" ) is a song recorded by Colombian singer Shakira for the extended play (EP) "Love in the Time of Cholera" (2008).  The song was written by her and Pedro Aznar originally for the Mike Newell-directed 2007 movie adaptation of Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez's 1985 novel "Love in the Time of Cholera".  Antonio Pinto handled its composition and production.  Shakira was initially offered a role by the producers of the movie to take part as the main protagonist.  However, she refused the offer and accepted to collaborate with the musical team due to her friendship with García Márquez.  Musically, "Despedida" is a folk song which discusses nostalgic love sentiments towards a person the protagonist lost.
  Title: John Oates
  Passage: John William Oates (born April 7, 1948) is an American rock, R&B and soul guitarist, musician, songwriter and record producer best known as half of the rock and soul duo, Hall & Oates (with Daryl Hall).
  Title: Let There Be Love (1953 Joni James album)
  Passage: Let There Be Love is Joni James debut album, recorded in 1953 and released by MGM Records at the end of the year.  It was released in a four-disc 10-inch 78-rpm record box, in both a two-disc 7-inch 45-rpm extended-play foldout album and a four-disc 45-rpm regular-play box and on a 10-inch 33⅓-rpm album.  The serial number, 222, coincidentally included James's lucky number, "22," which appeared in many of her record serial numbers all over the world.  The album is the first to present its songs as a book in music, opening with "Let There Be Love" and closing with "I'll Be Seeing You", with the songs telling a story start to finish.  The memorable cover was done at M-G-M Pictures Studios in Culver City by artist Russ Gale.  From the album a single of "Let There Be Love" and "You're Nearer" was shipped to radio stations.  Then, by public demand, a single of "You're My Everything" and "You're Nearer" was released.  This album offered Joni's second recording of "Let There Be Love," which had been released in an earlier version in 1952 as her first single on Sharp Records in Chicago, then going to M-G-M Records for further distribution.  Both recordings were arranged and conducted by Lew Douglas.  "Let There Be Love" went to the top of the album charts and was the sixth-best-selling album of 1953.  In 1956 the album was reissued as a 12-inch L.P. and in three single EPs; there was no EP set including the entire album.  For this release, four Joni James singles were added, but one of them had never been released.  That was "I Need You Now," which was to have followed the hit "My Love, My Love" but was canceled when Eddie Fisher came out with a version recorded several weeks after Joni's.  M-G-M had expected Joni's original version to go straight to #1.  For the new album the first four songs and second four songs were switched to get "You're My Everything" in the outside groove of the L.P. to facilitate disc jockey play.  So, for 50 years, the story the album tells has been garbled.  In 1961 the album got new cover art, a new serial number (E3931), and an electronically simulated stereo release.  Released again on compact disk with yet more bonus tracks, the album is in its fifth decade as a best seller.  Joni James hopes for yet another release which will restore the original song order.  Significantly, for her last M-G-M album, "Bossa Nova Style", Joni included new recordings of several songs from "Let There Be Love", including a new single of "You're Nearer."  That album was arranged by Lew Douglas's protégé Chuck Sagle.  This information comes from Wayne Brasler, longtime President of the Joni James International Fan Club and the writer of the album notes for all Joni James' CD releases.
  Title: Single Women
  Passage: "Single Women" is a song, written by "Saturday Night Live" writer Michael O'Donoghue.  The song, which depicted a number of women looking for love in a singles bar, was originally performed during an "SNL" sketch by Christine Ebersole on the October 10, 1981 broadcast.  The song later provided a top-ten country hit for Dolly Parton from her 1982 "Heartbreak Express" album.  Released as the album's first single in February 1982, it reached number 8 on the U.S. country singles chart in April 1982.  The Parton version of the song featured somewhat reworked lyrics, as RCA requested she eliminate the drug references, fearful that they would cause the song to meet resistance on country radio.  The song later inspired a 1984 TV movie titled "Single Bars, Single Women", starring Tony Danza and Jean Smart, which was produced by O'Donoghue.  An abbreviated version of Parton's recording of the song was used as the movie's theme song.
  Title: Do It for Love (Hall &amp; Oates song)
  Passage: "Do It for Love" is the title track of the 2003 album by Hall & Oates.  Having first appeared on the 2002 "" compilation, the track was written by Daryl Hall and John Oates, along with Billy Mann and Paul Pesco.  It was the duo's 8th #1 hit of their career and the first number one on the Adult Contemporary chart, spending two weeks at the top in September 2002.  It didn't crack the "Billboard" Hot 100 pop chart, managing only to reach number fourteen on its Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart.
  Title: And Now My Love
  Passage: And Now My Love (French: "Toute une vie" ), (Released as 'A Whole Lifetime' in Australia) is a film released in 1974 by French writer/director Claude Lelouch, starring Marthe Keller, André Dussollier, Charles Denner, and Charles Gérard.  The American title derives from the use of the Gilbert Bécaud song "Et Maintenant" at the film's climax; the song title literally translates as "And Now," and the song became a worldwide hit when it was recorded with English lyrics as "What Now My Love".
