ANGELS (XXV) - ROBBIE WILLIAMS


VIDEO HOT TRACKS
Angels (XXV) - ROBBIE WILLIAMS

"Angels" is a song by the English singer-songwriter Robbie Williams. It was included on Williams's debut solo album, Life thru a Lens (1997), and released as a single on 1 December 1997. "Angels" was written by Williams and Guy Chambers, based on an earlier song written by Ray Heffernan.

Williams said he wrote "Angels" with Chambers about his aunt and uncle. Heffernan asserts that he wrote the first version in 1996, after his partner had a miscarriage, and finished it with Williams after meeting him by chance in Dublin. Williams confirmed that he had recorded a demo with Heffernan but said he rewrote the song significantly with Chambers. To avoid a lawsuit, Williams bought the rights to the song from Heffernan before it was released.

Robbie’s new album ‘XXV’ is out on September 9th. The album consists of newly orchestrated versions of his greatest hits with the Metropole Orchestra. Here is a moving performance of Angel accompanied by the harmonious arrangement of the Metropole Orchestra.

VIDEO HOT TRACKS
September (Earth Wind & Fire) - HSCC BAND

"September" is an iconic dance song by the American band Earth, Wind & Fire released as a single in 1978 on ARC/Columbia Records. Initially included as a track for The Best of Earth, Wind, & Fire, Volume 1, "September" was very successful commercially and reached No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot R&B Songs chart, No. 8 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart. The song remains a staple of the band's body of work and has been sampled, covered, remixed, and re-recorded numerous times.

"September" has been one of the biggest commercial and critical successes of Earth, Wind & Fire's career. The song was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry and certified gold in the US (until the RIAA lowered the sales levels for certified singles in 1989, a Gold single equaled 1 million units sold.) "September" was later certified Gold for digital sales by the RIAA, and has sold over 2 million digital copies in the US as of September 2017. Earth, Wind & Fire recorded a new version of the song, retitled "December", for their 2014 Christmas album Holiday.

Although several theories about the significance of the date have been suggested, the songwriter Maurice White claimed he simply chose the 21st due to how it sounded when sung. His wife, Marilyn White, however, claimed that September 21 was the due date of their son, Kahbran, according to lyricist Allee Willis.

With multiple renditions repeatedly performed by numerous bands worldwide, this iconic dance track remains to be a crowd favorite in international dance clubs. The HSCC Band performs an outstanding cover of "September" that pays tribute to this legendary dance classic of Earth, Wind & Fire.
