Bill Campbell (baseball)
William Richard Campbell was an American baseball player who played as a pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1973 to 1987. Campbell played for several teams in both the American League (AL) and National League (NL) during his career, including the Minnesota Twins, Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers, Chicago Cubs, Philadelphia Phillies, St. Louis Cardinals, and Montreal Expos. He was born on August 9, 1948, in Highland Park, Michigan, and grew up in Pomona, California.
Campbell was interested in baseball from an early age and played on his high school team at Ganesha High School in Pomona, California. After graduating, he attended Cal Poly Pomona, where he continued to play baseball and was eventually drafted by the Minnesota Twins in 1972.
Campbell made his major league debut in 1973 with the Twins and quickly established himself as a reliable relief pitcher. He played for the Twins until 1976, when he was traded to the Red Sox. He spent two seasons with the Red Sox before being traded again, this time to the Cubs.
Over the course of his career, Campbell played for several more teams, including the Phillies, Cardinals, and Expos. He was known for his versatility as a pitcher, being equally comfortable in a starting or relief role.
Campbell was married to Linda and had three children. After retiring from baseball, he remained involved in the sport, coaching Little League teams and working as a scout for several major league teams.
In January 2023, Campbell died at the age of 74 after a battle with cancer. He was living in Palatine, a suburb of the Chicago metropolitan area, Illinois, at the time of his death.
Campbell will be remembered as a talented and versatile player who made significant contributions to several teams during his career. His dedication to baseball continued long after his playing days were over, and his legacy will live on in the countless young players he coached and mentored.

"Call Me" became another signature track in Jamelia's career and followed "Money" into the UK top 20, just missing out on a top 10 spot, peaking at #11. The song managed to spend 5 weeks within the top 75 and was the lead single from her debut album "Drama", which was released two weeks later.
Arabian Prince
Kim Renard Nazel (born June 17, 1965), better known by his stage names Arabian Prince and Professor X, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and DJ. He is best known for being an original member of the rap group N.W.A.
Nazel was born in Compton, California.
He began working with Bobby Jimmy & the Critters in 1984. He also produced J. J. Fad's hit single "Supersonic" and the album of the same name.
When he joined the rap group N.W.A., his bandmate Ice Cube returned from the Phoenix Institute of Technology in 1988. He discovered that he was surplus to the band. Eazy-E, Ice Cube and MC Ren were the headliners, DJ Yella was the turntablist and Dr. Dre was the main producer.
After leaving N.W.A., Arabian Prince began his solo career. His first solo album, "Brother Arab", was released in 1989, although it sold poorly.
Arabian Prince continued his solo career. He released his fourth album "Where's My Bytches" in 1993, which was his last album of the 1990s.
He recently started releasing music again with his Professor X project on the Dutch label Clone Records. In 2007, he DJed on the 2K Sports Holiday Bounce Tour with artists on the Stones Throw label. In 2008, Stones Throw released a compilation of his 1980s electro rap material. One of his songs was included on the 2007 video game "College Hoops 2K8".
Antoine Carraby (born December 11, 1961), better known by his stage name DJ Yella, is an American DJ, rapper, music producer, and film director. He is from Compton, California. Yella was a member of the World Class Wreckin' Cru along with Dr. Dre. He later became a member of the gangsta rap group N.W.A (with Dre, Ice Cube, MC Ren, and Eazy-E). Along with Dre, he produced Eazy-E's first album, "Eazy-Duz-It", and all three of N.W.A's albums.
After N.W.A's disbandment in 1991, Yella and MC Ren were the only members to remain on Ruthless Records. Over the next four years, he produced albums and songs for numerous Ruthless Records acts, including Eazy, J. J. Fad, Menajahtwa, H.W.A., B.G. Knocc Out, Dresta and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. He also filmed pornographic movies under his alias Tha Kidd during this time period.
Eazy-E's sudden death from AIDS in 1995 caused chaos at the label. Yella stayed on to put together Eazy's final album, but he had difficulty tracking down all the material Eazy had recorded with various producers. Finally with Ren, he co-produced Eazy's last single "Just Tah Let Ya Know", released in September 1995.
In 1996, Yella released the album "One Mo Nigga ta Go" on Street Life. The album featured various members of the old Ruthless family rapping over his productions.
After this release he disappeared from the music scene, to resurface years later as a director of pornographic movies. While for the most part he did not seem interested in getting back into music, he did reunite with former N.W.A member MC Ren for a song called "Bangin" on the soundtrack to one of his sex movies. On October 17, 2006, at VH1's Hip Hop Honors, Yella performed with Lil' Eazy-E and Young Jeezy in a tribute to Eazy-E.
Priority Records is a United States-based record label, owned and operated by EMI, and has made a name for itself primarily in hip hop music. Priority has also provided distribution for other labels such as Ruthless Records, Death Row Records, No Limit Records, and Roc-A-Fella Records.
The Los Angeles-based company was formed in 1985 by three former K-tel executives: Bryan Turner, Mark Cerami and Steve Drath. Seed funding was provided by R-tek, a company headed by former K-tel board members: Ray and Harold Kives, and their company acquired an initial 50% stake in Priority. Priority bought out R-tek's interest in 1987.
To support early operations, Priority licensed others' repertoire and released compilation albums, but soon began developing its own roster of major artists. Priority was able to achieve unparalleled success as an independent label by developing an underground "street-based" marketing formula that set precedents and bypassed mainstream radio. His unique approach allowed Priority to sell millions of records without getting into the fiercely competitive battles of the major record labels for airplay. Priority's strategic marketing team was developed by Vice President Alyssa Pisano, who led Priority's Marketing and Creative Services Department from 1987 to 1996. Priority's roster featured numerous gold, platinum, and multi-platinum artists, including N.W.A, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Master P, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, Mack 10, Westside Connection, Eazy-E and Ice T.
In the early 1990s, the label entered into a distribution deal with EMI, while continuing to operate independently. EMI bought a 50% stake in Priority in 1996 and the remainder in 1998. Despite EMI's full ownership, Priority remained an independently managed company until 2001, when its operations were merged with EMI's main US subsidiary, Capitol Records. Priority was absorbed into Capitol Records in 2004 and ceased operations.
In late 2006, EMI revived Priority Records. The first act signed to the newly reorganized company is C-Murder (who, in the mid-late 1990s, recorded for the label through No Limit Records.)
A Thousand Suns is the fourth studio album by American rock band Linkin Park. It was released on September 13, 2010. The album was written by the band and co-produced by Linkin Park vocalist Mike Shinoda and Rick Rubin, who previously worked together to produce "Minutes to Midnight" (2007). The album's lead single, "The Catalyst", was serviced to radio and released to digital music stores on August 2, 2010. The band is currently promoting the album through the A Thousand Suns World Tour.
"A Thousand Suns" is a concept album dealing with human fears such as nuclear warfare. "On this record, the concepts blend human ideas with technology [...] Human fears, your fear of what's going to happen in the world, the music kind of references that", said Mike Shinoda on an interview with MTV. The album's title comes from the Hindu Sanskrit scripture, the "Bhagavad Gita": "If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty one," a quote made famous by J. Robert Oppenheimer in reference to the atomic bomb.
Although commercially successful, the album received mixed reviews upon release. The album as a whole has been compared to a progressive rock album, and compared to Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon" and Radiohead's "Kid A".
Recording for the album began in 2008, shortly after the release of "Minutes to Midnight". In November 2008 Chester Bennington stated this "sound[ed] a little daunting to me, so, I think my confidence level will drop, but when it was presented to us by this friend of ours, we liked the idea. It was an inspiring idea, and it was something we could relate a lot of the things we like to write about to." In May 2009, a story was published in a "Billboard" magazine where Shinoda revealed information about the album. "I feel like we've been writing a lot. I'd say we've got about half the music done, though I shouldn't say halfway because who knows how long the next batch of songs will take. But all the material's just kind of coming together, and every week we meet up and assess the situation and for the rest of the week we just go and work on whatever we find exciting." He also explained the experimentation the band would be working with. "It's not going to be "Hybrid Theory." It's not going to be "Minutes to Midnight." And if we do it right, it'll have a cutting edge sound that defines itself as an individual record separate from anything else that's out there."
Drummer Rob Bourdon referred to himself and the band as "perfectionists" when asked about the new project. "We tend to be perfectionists and its sort of how we work, We like being in the studio and when we get in there we write a ton of material." Bourdon admitted that the album was challenging to complete. "We've been making music for a long time so one of the challenges was to evolve and make something to keep us interested and also have a lot of fun in the process. We've been used to making a certain type of music and using sounds to accomplish that. So to break out of that and push ourselves to grow is definitely challenging."
In an interview with "Rolling Stone" in May 2009, Shinoda revealed that the band was in the process of writing and recording material for the album. The album was originally slated for an early 2010 release, but Shinoda was very concerned about "the quality of the tunes" stating that "if we need to take a step back and make sure everything is top, top quality by our standards, we will." Shinoda also stated that, comparing to "Minutes to Midnight", the new album would have a larger "thread of consistency" and would be more experimental and "hopefully more cutting-edge".
The album's style has been compared to the music of Pink Floyd and contains the high-pitched sonar "ping" from Pink Floyd's "Echoes" at the end of "Robot Boy" and continuing into "Jornada del Muerto".
It has also been stated that the album honours the hip-hop group Public Enemy. On the song "Wretches and Kings", Shinoda stated "There is a homage to Chuck D on there. It's probably the most hip-hop song on the record and one of the most aggressive... Public Enemy were very three-dimensional with their records because although they seemed political, there was a whole lot of other stuff going on in there too. It made me think how three-dimensional I wanted our record to be without imitating them of course, and show where we were at creatively." The first line of the first and second verse ("To save face, how low can you go?" and "So keep face, how slow can you go?") are references to one of Public Enemy's most famous songs "Bring The Noise", which open its first verse with "Bass! How low can you go?" in a melodically similar way. The album also features speech samples by American political figures, including Martin Luther King, Jr., J. Robert Oppenheimer, and Mario Savio.

Living Things is the fifth studio album by American rock band Linkin Park, released through Warner Bros. Records on 26 June 2012. The album was produced by Mike Shinoda and Rick Rubin, and presented a new direction in Linkin Park's music, combining the hard rock sounds of their debut album, "Hybrid Theory" and the electronic mixes of their very successful previous studio album, "A Thousand Suns", whilst keeping a brand new, original sound.
In June 2011, Bennington revealed to "Kerrang!" that Linkin Park has started working on new material for their next album. He explained, "We've been working on a new record for the past two months. The music is great and we're well ahead of where we're expecting to be. There aren't a whole lot of noises going on, but there are a lot of good songs."
Rick Rubin produced the album. "Typically we'll have a once-a-week meeting to go listen to the songs that they're coming up with and talk about them. For so early in the project, they are much further along than they have been on the last two albums we did. On "A Thousand Suns" there were still a lot of irons in the fire. We knew, 'OK, we can't do this forever. Let's leave this batch and we'll come back and address it when we start up again, Rubin said.
In July 2011, Bennington told "Rolling Stone" that Linkin Park aimed to produce a new album every eighteen months, and that he would be shocked if a new album did not come out in 2012. The band continued to record and produce new material even while on tour. Bennington commented on Linkin Park's schedule, stating, "Touring for two years is excruciating. When we would tour for two years even the most resilient person in the band, at the end of that, was fucking miserable." He further elaborated on their ideas in an interview with MTV saying, "We do have a really great head start. We've got some great music, some good ideas. The creativity has continued to flow for us for the last few years, consistently." He later revealed in another interview in September 2011 that the band was still in the beginning phases of the next album, saying "We just kind of began. We like to keep the creative juices flowing, so we try to keep that going all the time...we like the direction that we're going in."
Live in Texas is Linkin Park's first live album and third DVD (after "Frat Party at the Pankake Festival" and "The Making of Meteora"), released on November 18, 2003.
The DVD comes with a bonus CD that features twelve of the songs from the DVD. The other five live tracks can be found on the "Linkin Park Underground V3.0" CD. The audio on the CD is mixed differently than the DVD audio. The DVD/CD comes in two versions: a CD box and, although harder to find, a DVD box.
The concert footage was filmed on August 2 and August 3 during the 2003 Summer Sanitarium Tour at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas and Texas Stadium in Irving, Texas.
The video footage is comprised of the audio from the Dallas show and video from both the Houston and Dallas shows; because of this, the band had to wear the same clothes on two shows, although there are still noticeable differences. For example, Mike Shinoda could be seen wearing two similar but different shirts, Brad Delson's guitar sometimes changes multiple times in the middle of songs from a red PRS to a black Ibanez, even though there is no break in the guitar, as well as lead singer Chester Bennington's shirt drenched in sweat and completely dry the next time he's shown on screen.

Curb's roster includes several country music artists, including Tim McGraw, LeAnn Rimes, and Hank Williams, Jr. In late 2002, Curb Records also acquired a stake in Word Records from then-owners Time Warner. Curb still has a stake in Word even though Time Warner's stake was sold to the newly formed spin-off Warner Music Group in 2004.
2006 GMA Music Award Female Vocalist of the Year Natalie Grant signed with Curb Records. Former American Idol Kimberley Locke is also a member of the Curb roster.
In 2006, Curb launched a sister imprint, Bruc Records, whose name is an acronym for "Blues, Rock, Urban, Country" (the name is also "Curb" spelled backwards). Hank III's third studio release, "Straight to Hell", was the first album to be released on the new label.

In January 2006, Curb scored a top ten hit with Brian Kennedy and Peter Corry's "Tribute to George Best", an EP featuring recordings of "You Raise Me Up" amongst others.
Vanguard Records is a record label founded in 1950 by brothers Maynard and Seymour Solomon in New York. It started as a classical music label, but is perhaps best known for its catalogue of recordings by several seminal folk and blues artists from the 1960s; Bach Guild was a subsidiary label.
In 1953, under the direction of John Hammond, the company began the "Jazz Showcase" series concentrating on the idiom of mainstream jazz, producing around two dozen recordings before it closed about 1958. The recordings made at the Spirituals to Swing concerts in 1938 and 1939 were finally released by Vanguard in 1959. Thereafter the company only continued to record Jazz and Blues on and off.
In the summer of 1965, Maynard Solomon hired Samuel Charters to edit the 1964 Newport Folk Festival tapes. Following that project, the company sent Charters to Chicago to tape the wide range of blues musicians there. Those sessions resulted in the classic 1966 three-album series titled "Chicago/The Blues/Today!", which introduced a new generation to the blues. The albums included sets by Junior Wells with Buddy Guy, Muddy Water's bandmates Otis Spann and James Cotton, Otis Rush, Homesick James, Johnny Shines, Big Walter Horton, and Charlie Musselwhite.
Vanguard released a series of important classical recordings, both domestically produced and imported. Many of the latter came from the British label Pye Records label, with performances by the Halle Orchestra conducted by Sir John Barbirolli. The recordings were so exceptional in their stereo sound and overall quality that many classical radio stations played them. Vanguard even released some classical quadraphonic recordings in the early 1970s, including a performance of Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony with the American Symphony Orchestra conducted by Leopold Stokowski. The label also released many performances by the Utah Symphony Orchestra conducted by Maurice Abravanel, as well as the earlier P.D.Q. Bach recordings, from 1965 to 1983. Vanguard was the first US label to issue the complete 1944 hi-fi recordings of composer Richard Strauss conducting the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in most of his symphonic poems; the recordings were made on the Magnetophon tape recording equipment in the Vienna Opera House.
In the early 1970s, Indian classical musician and sarod virtouso Vasant Rai was signed exclusively by Vanguard. Vanguard put out 5 hit albums of Vasant Rai. That time, Vanguard released albums by Michigan-based rock groups such as Dick Wagner and The Frost and was inspired by a novelty hit they released, Benny Bell's "Shaving Cream" to release albums of humorous music inspired by Dr. Demento. Tom Paxton recorded two albums, "New Songs from the Briarpatch" and "Heroes", on Vanguard Records in the late 1970s.
The label lay dormant for most of the mid-to-late 1970s, briefly resurfacing with a few disco releases in the 1980s, and was finally sold to the Welk Music Group in 1985. The Welk Group sold the classical music catalogue back to Seymour Solomon. Welk Music Group revitalized the label, reissuing much of its extensive catalogue of folk and popular music (much of which had been out of print for several years) on CD, as well as signing several new artists (such as Mindy Smith), along with established artists (such as Edwin McCain, Hootie & the Blowfish, Blues Traveler, Shawn Mullins, Chely Wright and more).
Vanguard Classics was sold after Seymour Solomon's death to Artemis Records, which reactivated the company with new releases from Leon Fleisher and Gil Shaham. When Artemis closed in 2004, the Vanguard Classics catalogue was sold to Sheridan Square Entertainment, which licenses Vanguard Classics material with no apparent plans to relaunch or reactivate the label.

It is performed for a minute and a half at concerts as a medley because Sean Paul performs more words than Rihanna.
"Break It Off" was released as a digital download on online stores, including the U.S. iTunes Store on February 19, 2007 and peaked at number 2. It debuted at number eight on the US Hot Digital Songs chart, selling 75,316 downloads.
