Geraldo (bandleader)
Gerald Walcan Bright, better known as Geraldo (10 August 1904 – 4 May 1974) was an English bandleader. He adopted the name "Geraldo" in 1930, and became one of the most popular British dance band leaders of the 1930s with his "sweet music" and his "Gaucho Tango Orchestra". During the 1940s, he modernized his style and continued to enjoy great success.
Biography
Bright was born in London, where he played piano and organ and studied at the Royal Academy of Music. He started his career as a pianist playing for silent films.
Geraldo became a major figure on the British entertainment scene for four decades, having fronted just about every kind of ensemble and influenced the successful careers of numerous top singers. For his broadcasts he varied the style of his orchestra quite considerably, and a particular series Tip Top Tunes (employing a full string section alongside the usual dance band) enjoyed great popularity. Several commercial recordings were made, spotlighting the considerable arranging talents of the young Wally Stott (better known in the US as Angela Morley) .

Tu Mi Fai Vivere
by: CarlottaC'? un gruppo rock che mi suona dentro
mi ha riacceso il cuore che tenevo spento
fa un casino che non riesco neanche pi? a dormire
come fare per poter spiegare per poterti dire
E' un'energia si diffonde come onde radio
forte come un grido allo stadio
arriva all'improvviso che tu voglia o no.
da dove viene non so
ma si infila dritta nelle vene, e davvero mi fa stare bene…
RIT.
Tu mi fai vivere sento
tu mi fai vivere denso
tu mi fai vivere e penso che la vita e niente senza te
tu mi fai vivere dentro
tu mi fai vivere al centro
tu mi fai vivere e penso che spettacolo la vita con te
Ho riaperto le finestre del mio cuore…
sopra al davanzale ora ci ho messo un fiore,
c'? un profumo d'aria fresca e di speranze nuove
e la mattina sopra al mio cuscino sai ci nasce il sole
Lascia che sia… ogni giorno un giorno un po' speciale. ogni attimo da ricordare
RIT.
Tu mi fai vivere sento
tu mi fai vivere denso
tu mi fai vivere e penso che la vita e niente senza te
tu mi fai vivere dentro
tu mi fai vivere al centro
tu mi fai vivere e penso che spettacolo la vita con te
Sei il lampione che mi indica la strada e al buio mi illumina
sei l'arcobaleno che riporter? il sereno nell'anima
l'aquilone che mi tira in aria per volare oltre la ragione sei
terra e cielo intorno a me...il motivo per esistere
RIT.
Tu mi fai vivere sento
tu mi fai vivere denso
tu mi fai vivere e penso che la vita e niente senza te
tu mi fai vivere dentro
tu mi fai vivere al centro
