Tony Rich
Antonio Jeffries Jr. (born November 19, 1971), better known as Tony Rich and The Tony Rich Project, is a contemporary R&B singer-songwriter best known for his single "Nobody Knows".
Biography
Early career
Rich first attracted attention through the production team of Tim & Bob. The duo convinced Perri "Pebbles" Reid (then the wife of L.A. Reid, co-founder of LaFace Records) to listen to Rich over the phone. Rich was hired as a house songwriter for LaFace Records. As incoming Vice President of A&R, Eddie F then convinced Reid to sign him as an artist. Later, Rich mixed elements of jazz, rock and soul music into his own tracks.
The Tony Rich Project
In January 1996 Rich released the hit single, "Nobody Knows", which made it to number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Under the moniker "The Tony Rich Project", he released his debut album Words in early 1996. Both the album and single went platinum and in 1997, Rich won a Grammy Award for the Best R&B Album. The song was covered by country music artist Kevin Sharp in 1997, also as his debut single. The song "Like a Woman" was also nominated for a Grammy Award.

Ooh La La (Faces song)
"Ooh La La" is a 1973 song by the band Faces, written by Ronnie Lane and Ronnie Wood. It was the title song for the band's last studio album, Ooh La La.
The lead vocals were provided by Wood, a rarity in the band's catalog, as most lead vocals were by Rod Stewart or less often by Ronnie Lane. Stewart and Lane recorded lead vocals for it, however their producer suggested Wood give it a try, and that was the version that was used for the track which appeared on the record.
Lane recorded his own version after leaving the Faces in 1973 with his new group, Slim Chance. Lane's version featuring slightly altered lyrics to what he wrote for the Faces. Although Lane's version was never released during his lifetime, it appeared as the title track of the 2014 Slim Chance compilation Ooh La La: An Island Harvest. Lane performed his version of the song right up until he retired from the music business in 1992.
Wood has performed the song in his solo concerts between 1987-2012.

Ooh La La (Goldfrapp song)
"Ooh La La" is a song performed by English group Goldfrapp. The song was written and produced by Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory for the duo's third album Supernature (2005). The song consists largely of a synthesizer and guitar arrangement and was inspired by the disco era.
The song was released as the album's lead single in August 2005 to positive reviews from music critics. It was a commercial success, reaching the top forty on the majority of the charts it entered, and topped the United States dance chart. The song has been remixed a number of times and was nominated for Best Dance Recording at the 49th Grammy Awards in 2007.
Background and writing
Goldfrapp began work on "Ooh La La" in late 2004 in a small rented house in the countryside of Bath, England. The song was composed as a collaborative effort between Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory while jamming in the recording studio, bouncing song ideas off each other. Goldfrapp contributed the song's lyrics, and has described the song as being "sulky, sexual and a bit ambiguous". In "Ooh La La", she confesses to wanting only a sexual relationship without romance.

Ooh La La
by: Young DublinersPoor, old granddad
I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man
He spoke of women's ways
Trap you, then they use you
Before you even know
For love is blind, you're far too kind
Don't ever let it show
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
Wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger
Can-can's such a pretty show
They steal your heart away
But backstage, back on earth again
The dressing rooms are gray
They come on strong and it ain't too long
Before they make you feel a man
Love is blind and you will find
You're just a boy again
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
Wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger
When you want her lips, you get a cheek
Makes you wonder where you are
And if you want some more and she's fast asleep
Then she's twinkling with the stars
Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say
Have to learn just like me and that's the hardest way
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
Wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
Wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger
Ooh la la, ooh la la la la
Ooh la la, ooh la la la la
Ooh la la, ooh la la la la la la la
