Lawrence "Larry" Russell Brown (born June 29, 1940), known as L. Russell Brown, is an American lyricist and composer.
 He is most noted for his songs, co-written with Irwin Levine, "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree" and "Knock Three Times"—international hits for the 1970s pop music group Tony Orlando and Dawn.
 He also co-wrote "C'mon Marianne" for The Four Seasons, and The Partridge Family 1971 song, "I Woke Up In Love This Morning".
 THE QUINTESSENTIAL HITMAN
1957-1972 is a 1972 double album by The Miracles on Motown Records' Tamla label.
 This two-record set is noted as the group's final series of live concerts with original lead singer Smokey Robinson, recorded over a period of three days, July 14–16, during the 1972 National Parks Centennial, at the Carter Barron Amphitheater in Washington, D.C., and charted at #75 on the "Billboard" Top 200 Album chart, and at #14 on its R&B Album chart.
 During the show, Smokey's wife, original Miracles member Claudette Rogers Robinson, who stopped touring with the group in 1964 (but continued recording with them), reunited with the Miracles on stage for the first time in eight years.
 As a celebration of the group's fifteen years together, The Miracles made this an "all request" show, where audience members could choose which of the group's long string of hits they wanted performed.
 Also, at the end of the concert, Miracles fans were introduced to the group's new lead singer, Billy Griffin.
 According to Smokey's autobiography, "Smokey: Inside My Life", The Miracles' final concert was videotaped in movie form, but was never publicly released.
 However, "1957-1972" was released on CD originally in 1990, and re-released again in 2004 along with The Miracles' 1969 "Live" album in the 2004 Motown/Hip-O Select release "Smokey Robinson and The Miracles: The Live Collection".
American singer and songwriter Lana Del Rey has recorded songs for five studio albums, three extended plays (EPs), as well as guest features.
 Her debut EP "Kill Kill" (2008) was released by 5 Points Records under her birth name Elizabeth "Lizzy" Grant; its tracks "Kill Kill" and "Yayo" were written solely by Grant, while the remaining song "Gramma (Blue Ribbon Sparkler Trailer Heaven)" was co-written by Grant and David Kahne.
 She assumed the stage name Lana Del Ray for her debut studio album "Lana Del Ray" (2010) and wrote the majority of the record by herself, although Kahne is credited with co-writing four tracks on the project.

 Another track from this album, “You’re A Lady” by English singer/songwriter Peter Skellern, reached #70 in the US charts.
 The group changed their name to "Tony Orlando and Dawn" later in 1973

Hibaayeb (foaled 20 April 2007) is a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare.
 As a two-year-old in 2009, when trained by Clive Brittain, she was beaten in her first three races before winning the Group One Fillies' Mile at Ascot Racecourse.
 In the following year she entered the Godolphin stable and recorded further major victories in the Ribblesdale Stakes in England and the Yellow Ribbon Stakes in California.
 As a four-year-old she was based in the United States and won the Sheepshead Bay Stakes at Belmont Park.
The Passions are an American doo-wop group from Bensonhurst, Brooklyn.
 The quintet recorded a few demos in 1958, at which time Tony, Albee and Vinny began looking for replacements who were more career-minded.
 Another group in Bensonhurst had what they needed; when the three Sinceres heard Runarounds lead singer Jimmy Gallagher, they knew he was the one for them (Jimmy’s previous group, the Palladiyms, included Joe DiBenedetto, who later formed "The Four-evers".)
The Sinceres weren’t sure how to approach Jimmy, so they followed him home one night and knocked on his door.
 After convincing his mother that they only wanted to sing with her son, not mug him, the foursome went to a nearby park and ended up harmonizing for hours.
 They were now a quartet, with Jimmy on lead, Tony on first tenor, Albee on second tenor, and Vinnie on baritone.n 1959, while the Mystics were recording "Hushabye" at their first session, their friend Tony Armato was there cheering them on promoting his own group to their manager, Jim Gribble.
 Gribble soon signed the Sinceres and renamed them the Passions.
 He gave them a demo by a duo of studio singers who called themselves the Cousins.
 The song was "Just to Be with You" written by Mary Kalfin.
 The Cousins were Paul Simon and Carole King.
 By the time the group recorded "Gloria" Vinny had left and been replaced by Gallagher’s friend Lou Rotondo.
 Also in 1960 Lou Rotondo and Albie Galione, along with Albie Contrera of the Mystics, sang behind Clay Cole on "Here, There, Everywhere" (Roulette), single that became popular in the New York area.
 Audicon Records lost the group’s next release, the harmony rocker "Made for Lovers."
 The group recorded a few more sides for Audicon which were leased to Jubilee and Octavia.
 Released in August 1959 on Sol Winkler’s Audicon label, the Passions’ impeccable harmonies and Gallagher’s impassioned lead put "Just to Be with You" on radios across America.
 It was a top 20 hit in many eastern cities and it charted nationally, rising to number 69.
 The follow-up out of Audicon’s 1674 Broadway digs was twice as good.
 Both sides—the harmony filled "I Only Want You" and the beautiful Billy Dawn Smith ballad "This Is My Love" –vied for radio play and sales throughout the states.
 They were managed by Jim Gribble who managed several doo-wop groups including the Mystics and The Jarmels, and worked with producer songwriter Stan Vincent.
 In the late 1990s, they reunited with the Mystics and the Classics for the Brooklyn Reunion Show.
 Lead singer Jimmy Gallagher left the Passions in 1960 to join the Navy, but later sang with The Legends of Doo Wop in 1998.
The Ruban Jaune "(English; Yellow Ribbon)" is a cycling trophy created in 1936 by Henri Desgrange, awarded to the rider recording the fastest average speed in a professional cycling race or stage longer than 200 km.
 The trophy’s name is thought is to have come from comparison with the Blue Riband trophy awarded to the passenger liner crossing the Atlantic Ocean in record time.
 Desgrange changed the colour to yellow to reflect the newsprint of L'Auto, the sports newspaper he edited.
 The timing of the record must be by two independent timekeepers using certified timing equipment which has been recently calibrated.
 Because of these strict rules it was unofficially accepted in the latter part of the 20th century that only times in classic races would be accepted.
