History

Moshe’s father, Mordechai Mano, immigrated to Israel in the 1930s along with a group of pioneers who built the Port of Haifa. Abba Hushi, then chairman of the Haifa Workers Council, traveled to Thessaloniki with the aim of motivating Jewish workers to immigrate to what was then the British mandate of Palestine. Among the 100 households that agreed to take the step were members of the Mano family, including Moshe Mano’s father, Mordechai, who was then nine years old. Mordechai became a pioneer in Israeli shipping from the 1940s, and was well known in the shipping industry both in Israel and worldwide.

Testify (M People song)

"Testify" is the eighteenth overall single from British band M People. It is the lead single from their greatest hits albums The Best of M People and, in North America, Testify. It was written by Mike Pickering, Paul Heard and Heather Small, and produced by M People. The single was released on 26 October 1998 and peaked at number twelve on the UK Singles Chart.

Music video

To support the release of this single, the band filmed their most expensively produced video on 10 September 1998 in London and was created with a budget of £750,000 and directed by New Zealand-born Gregory Rood who, had worked with Heather on the Perfect Day promotional video for the BBC and produced by William Oakely for 'Pop @ Paul Weiland', the Music Video division of the Paul Weiland Film Company.

Heather stands in the middle of a forest with snow on the ground singing all alone and all covered up in a Red Riding Hood-style cape only to then reveal as the wind blows, half way through the song, that she's wearing an eye-catching £250,000 diamond necklace and bodice in the middle of this (computer-generated) arctic wonderland with the snow falling and steam coming out of Heather's mouth as she sings. Meanwhile, in the surrounding blocks of ice, band mates Mike Pickering, Paul Heard and Shovell are all encased and motionless.

Testify (P.O.D. album)

Testify is the sixth studio album by American recording group P.O.D.. It was originally set for a December 2005 release but finally slated for January 24, 2006 by Atlantic Records. This is P.O.D.'s first major-label album not produced by Howard Benson. The full album was leaked to file-sharing networks on January 20, 2006, just four days before its release. It was also their last album with Jason Truby on guitar, before he left the band in December 2006.

This album was also available in the Testify (Limited Edition) version with a bonus CD featuring commentary by the band on every song on the album, as well as four bonus songs and a remix that didn't make the album. The album's first single, "Goodbye for Now," went on to become the No. 1 music video on MTV's TRL and became P.O.D.'s unprecedented 4th No. 1 video. The song also enjoyed heavy play on the radio. Testify became the No. 1 selling Christian album on Billboard for several weeks and, as of May 2006, had been in the Top 25 for a total of 16 weeks. It opened at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 with 58,000 scans and has sold over 210,000 copies in the US and over 500,000 copies worldwide.

Testify (EP)

Testify is a remix EP by The Damned, released by Cleopatra Records in 1997.

It consisted of remixes of material from their 1996 album Not of This Earth. Among those contributing were the UK Subs (Track 1), Birmingham 6 (Track 2), Claus Larsen (Track 3), Damien Deville (Track 4), Matt Green (Track 5) and Romell Regulacion (Track 6). A bonus live version of MC5’s "Looking at You" recorded at Woolwich Coronet on 11 July 1985, the same gig as Fiendish Shadows live album (but not included on that release) was included as a "bonus track" – something of a misnomer as the EP’s never been issued without it.

The EP was initially released in the USA only, but is relatively easy to find imported in the UK, among others. It was later included on Cleopatra’s Damned Box Set.
