Right Now! is a 1966 studio album by Mel Tormé. Columbia followed up Tormé's 1965 album of standards with "an obvious bid to sell records by putting Tormé's voice on pre-sold hits of the mid-'60s." "The Velvet Fog's" descent on contemporary middle-of-the-road top-40 melodies from Paul Simon and the Bacharach-David catalogue leads some to emphasize the commercialism of the project and file this period of Tormé's career in the lounge music section of records stores, as evidenced by his appearances on compilations like the Ultra Lounge series. However, music critic Will Friedwald makes a strong case that the work of Tormé and arranger Mort Garson elevated the project above "an album of straight "covers"."
In 1997, Right Now! was treated to a CD reissue, with previously unreleased bonus tracks and liners notes.
Right Now is the debut studio album by Scottish singer Leon Jackson, released on 20 October 2008, via Syco Music and Sony BMG. It was produced by Steve Mac.

Right Now was a commercial success for Jackson, debuting within the top five in both the United Kingdom and Scotland.

To date, the album has sold 135,892 copies in the UK, becoming Gold certified by the BPI.

Adria and Adriatica are parent Swiss watch brands manufacturing for Eastern European markets.
The name originates from the Etruscan city of Atria or (Adria) that also gave its name at a much earlier period to the Adriatic Sea. It is believed that the name dates from 1931 or earlier.
The history of Adria and Adriatica as watch trademarks is closely associated with the Belle Époque period through the Montilier Watch Co, established in 1852 in Montilier, close to Morat/Murten, at the foot of the Watch Valley, Switzerland. The brands were dormant from the start of World War II until 1949.
From 1962 two associated watch companies, established in Biel/Bienne and Basel, took over the manufacturing and marketing of Adria and Adriatica watches in partnership, designing mainly classical round pink gold-plated ladies’ and some gents' models, and a special model called "Adriatica World Champion".
Both brands, especially Adriatica, flourished in the Scandinavian countries, and also, especially, in Finland. Adriatica watches started being increasingly imported discreetly into Poland by seafaring people and distributed there and in many of the other than Communist countries, becoming established in the Eastern part of Europe.
The last time I spoke to her
She couldn't talk to me
The script she read was very strange
But who did she see
A few lines from a bad dream
A frozen memory
Darkness remains the fate
Of such...illusion
Can you not wait
On what...can...be
Who was it cast the mold
The girl that I once knew
Such a carefully chosen pose
But what will the emptiness do
One of my best friends took her down
With his games for sure
Hearts made of stone
Cannot break again
I hope he understands
I hope he is secure
Old fashioned feelings
The new way of dealing
With love I see
These time were meant for me
No no no no no...
The past isn't anymore
The future only has in store
And round and round and round it goes
And where it stops nobody knows
As far as I can tell
The only game in town is going down
And only happens
