Marilyn Martin (born May 4, 1954) is an American singer and songwriter.
 She is best known for her 1985 hit duet with Phil Collins, "Separate Lives."
Burlap & Satin is the now out-of-print 25th solo studio album by Dolly Parton.
 Released on June 18, 1983, it straddled the line between pop and country sounds.
 Consisting mostly of Parton's own compositions, two tracks were outtakes from the "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" film: "A Cowboy's Ways" (a song intended for costar Burt Reynolds to perform in the film, that was ultimately cut out of the film) and "A Gamble Either Way".
 The album's single, "Potential New Boyfriend" was a top twenty country single, and was accompanied by Parton's first ever music video.
 Willie Nelson duetted on a cover of the Eddy Arnold hit "I Really Don't Want to Know.
"It Didn't Matter" is a song by the English band The Style Council which was their fifteenth single to be released.
 It was composed by lead singer Paul Weller, keyboardist Mick Talbot, and was released in 1987.
 The song was duetted by Weller and his then-wife Dee C. Lee.
 It is the first single from the band's third album, "The Cost of Loving", also known as the "Orange album".
 Backed with "All Year Round", it became a hit, peaking at No. 9 in the UK, and No. 48 in both Australia, and New Zealand.
 It has remained one of their most enduring hits.
"Separate Lives" is a 1985 song recorded by Phil Collins and Marilyn Martin and featured on the soundtrack to the motion picture "White Nights".
 It reached No. 1 in November, 1985 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary charts as well as in Canada.
 It reached No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart, and was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry.
White Nights: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack for the 1985 film, "White Nights".
 The most successful single on the album, "Separate Lives" by Phil Collins and Marilyn Martin, reached the top of the "Billboard" Hot 100 singles chart and was nominated for an Academy Award in 1986.
 The prize instead went to Lionel Richie's "Say You, Say Me", another chart topper which appeared in the film but was not included on the soundtrack due to licensing issues.

Messin' with the Boys is the second post-Runaways album by Cherie Currie, released in 1980 For this album Currie worked with her identical twin sister, Marie Currie.
 Their band was called "Cherie and Marie Currie".
 Marie was a guest vocalist on Cherie's first album, so Marie went on tour with Cherie to support her first album, "Beauty's Only Skin Deep".
 When Marie would join Cherie on stage to sing the encores the audience would go wild.
 So Cherie ran with the idea of two blonds are better than one.
 The idea paid off because "Messin' with the Boys" received more radio play than "Beauty's Only Skin Deep", and their song "Since You Been Gone" made it to 95 on US charts.
 The single "This Time" and the album Messin' with the Boys made the top 200 on U.S. charts.
 This makes Messin' with the Boys Cherie Currie's most successful album.
 "I Just Love the Feeling" originally surfaced on the 1974 album, "S.S. Fools" by the group of the same name.
 Cherie duetted with that group's lead singer, Bobby Kimball, and wrote the additional lyrics in the second verse.
