I'm Sorry (Delfonics song)

"I'm Sorry" is a song by the American soul group The Delfonics, released in 1968.

The song was the Delfonics' second chart single and the follow up to their smash hit La-La (Means I Love You), which went to #4 on the Billboard Hot 100; indeed, "I'm Sorry" was quite reminiscent of their earlier hit, complete with similar-sounding "la la las". "I'm Sorry" just missed the pop Top 40 (peaking at #42), but was a solid performer on the soul charts, hitting #15.

Inclusion on Death Tape

"I'm Sorry", and several other soul tunes, were unintentionally included in the background of Jim Jones' infamous Death tape, an audio recording made during the Jonestown Massacre of 1978. Apparently, the music (which sounds muffled and played at off-speed, resembling a church organ in spots) was originally recorded onto the source tape, then recorded over by Jones, resulting in a "ghost recording".

"I'm Sorry" can be heard at the very end of the tape after Jones stops talking, played at half-speed.

I'm Sorry (John Denver song)

"I'm Sorry" is a song written and recorded by American country-folk singer-songwriter John Denver. Released in 1975, it was his final number-one pop hit released during his career.

Chart performance

The song, an apology for forsaken love, "I'm Sorry" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on September 27, 1975, as well as reaching number one on the Easy Listening chart. Six weeks after topping the pop chart, the song was Denver's third and final number one on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart.

The flip side of "I'm Sorry" was "Calypso", and, like its A-side, enjoyed substantial radio airplay on Top 40 stations.

I'm Sorry (video game)

I'm Sorry, known in Japan as Gombe's I'm Sorry (ごんべえのあいむそ〜り〜, Gonbē no Aimusōrī), is an arcade game released by Coreland/Sega in 1985. This action game stars a caricature of former Prime Minister of Japan, Kakuei Tanaka. The title is actually a play on the Japanese word for Prime Minister, "Sori". The game satirizes Tanaka's greed by making the goal of the game acquiring gold bars. This arcade game made it into some of the United States arcades.

Gameplay

The goal is for the greedy protagonist to collect all the gold bars while jumping over or defeating various enemies and obstacles in each maze-like level. Some of these enemies are: Giant Baba (a Japanese wrestler), a moonwalking Michael Jackson, Madonna, Japanese comedian Tamori, Carl Lewis, moving statues (activated when passed by). Some obstacles include: Gates, "fire" hydrants, safes (making it difficult to gain access to the gold), a rolling barrel, conveyor belts, and a swimming pool with platforms ranging in size and strength. When you collect all the gold in a given level, you must cash it into a building (labeled "out" when the level begins and "in" once you retrieve all the gold) to beat the level. The player can only hold ten bars of gold at once. In later levels there are more than 10 bars of gold, so the player must make multiple deposits.

Vehicle inspection in the United States

In the United States, vehicle safety inspection and emissions inspection are governed by each state individually. 17 states have a periodic (annual or biennial) safety inspection program, while Maryland and Alabama require a safety inspection on sale or transfer of vehicles which were previously registered in another state. New Jersey discontinued its passenger vehicle safety inspection program on August 1, 2010.

In 1977, the federal Clean Air Act was amended by Congress to require states to implement vehicle emissions inspection programs, known as I/M programs (for Inspection and Maintenance), in all major metropolitan areas whose air quality failed to meet certain federal standards. New York's program started in 1982, California's program ("Smog Check") started in 1984, and Illinois' program started in 1986. The Clean Air Act of 1990 required some states to enact vehicle emissions inspection programs. State impacted were those in metropolitan areas where air quality did not meet federal standards. Some states, including Kentucky and Minnesota, have discontinued their testing programs in recent years with approval from the federal government.
