"I'm Not in Love":
Sorry to tell that this song by 10cc, "I'm Not in Love" should have been a heartbreaking ballad, filled with more meaning, hurt and a sad lament. It should have been one of the saddest songs of 1975 plus it should have been on the list of sad songs and break-up songs.
"Only When I Laugh":
Only When I Laugh is a 1981 American comedy-drama film with Marsha Mason & Kristy McNichol, based on Neil Simon's 1970 play The Gingerbread Lady.
with clips from Christian B&W films:
The Bishops Wife (1947)
Angels with Dirty Faces (1938)
The Bells of St. Marys (1945)
The Miracle of the Bells (1948)
and Come to the Stable (1949)
Over on side two God is sending 10,000 Angels with 10,000 devils close behind as they try to shape the world. Godley is called a liar but says that its true and not just a trick of the light as everyone says they used to be stars and are playing gold guitars! The most gospel track on the album is made more bearable thanks to an extraordinary harmonica solo from Feltham thats played at top speed and makes the song bound along with real urgency and energy. The tune is rather lovely too, sounding rather McCartney-ish in its scope and roundedness.

Teena Marie Brockert, under the stage name Teena Marie:
Teena Marie (born Mary Christine Brockert; March 5, 1956 – December 26, 2010) was an American pop/R&B/soul singer-songwriter and producer. She was known by her childhood nickname Tina[1] before taking the stage name Teena Marie and later acquired the nickname Lady Tee (sometimes spelled Lady T), given to her by her collaborator and friend, Rick James.
She was known for her distinctive soprano vocals,[2][3][4] which caused many listeners to believe she was black.[5] Her success in R&B and soul music, and loyalty to these genres would earn her the title Ivory Queen of Soul. She played rhythm guitar, keyboards, and congas, and wrote, produced, sang, and arranged virtually all of her songs since her 1980 release, Irons in the Fire, which she later said was her favorite album. Marie was a three-time Grammy Award nominee.[6]

Founded in London in 1978, Central Line (name of a London underground line) will be dissolved in 1984. Time to reach the summits all the same, in 1981, with " Walking Into Sunshine ", a joyful and catchy title which makes us want to go take a walk in the sun.
HOLE IN MY SHOE (1967) This song was written and sung by Dave Mason, rather than Steve Winwood who did most of the singing for the band. Francine Heimann was the six year old girl who did the spoken part in the middle of the song. She was the stepdaughter of Island Records boss Chris Blackwell. Winwood had success as a musician prior to joining Traffic, becoming the frontman of the Spencer Davis Group at age 15 in 1963. Winwood met drummer Jim Capaldi, guitarist Dave Mason, and multi-instrumentalist Chris Wood when they jammed together at The Elbow Room, a club in Aston, Birmingham. After Winwood left the Spencer Davis Group in April 1967, the quartet formed Traffic. Soon thereafter, they rented a cottage near the rural village of Aston Tirrold, Berkshire to write and rehearse new music. Traffic signed to Island Records label and their debut single "Paper Sun" became a UK hit in mid-1967. Their second single, Mason's psych-pop classic "Hole in My Shoe", was an even bigger hit, and it became one of their best-known tracks, but it set the stage for increasing friction between Winwood and Mason, the group's principal songwriters. The rest of their career involved various personnel comings and goings (Winwood joined Blind Faith for a year) and Dave Mason even rejoined again for a short period. They had varying success, although scoring with John Barleycorn Must Die and The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys (Nov. 1971)
"This Is the Right Time" is a song recorded by British pop singer Lisa Stansfield for her 1989 album, Affection. It was written by Stansfield, Ian Devaney and Andy Morris, and produced by Coldcut. The song received favorable reviews from music critics.
Release
"This Is the Right Time" was released as the first European single on 31 July 1989. It included "Affection," "Big Thing" (recorded by Stansfield's 80s band Blue Zone) and remixes created by David Dorrell, CJ Mackintosh, Paul Witts and Eddie Gordon. The music video was directed by Big TV!. One year later, on 30 July 1990, "This Is the Right Time" was issued as the third North American single. It included previously unreleased track, "My Apple Heart" and new remixes created by Shep Pettibone and Yvonne Turner. The second music video for the North American market was directed by Jimmy Fletcher. In September 1990, just before Stansfield's European tour, the double A-side single "This Is the Right Time"/"You Can't Deny It" with new US remixes was released in selected European countries. In Japan, "This Is the Right Time" was released as a single on 3 October 1990.
The song was commercially successful reaching number twelve in Canada, number thirteen in the United Kingdom, number seventeen in Germany, number twenty in Austria and number twenty-four in Italy. In the United States, it peaked at number twenty-one on the Billboard Hot 100, number one on the Hot Dance Club Songs and number thirteen on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.
In 2003, it was included on Biography: The Greatest Hits. In 2014, the remixes of "This Is the Right Time" were included on the deluxe 2CD + DVD re-release of Affection and on People Hold On ... The Remix Anthology (also on The Collection 1989–2003).
Critical reception
Music & Media described the song as a "Commercial 70s sounding disco single convincingly produced by Coldcut."[1]
The Gavin Report wrote: "The Jazz/Soul flavoring in her brand of Pop gives the music a distinctive sound polished off by the stunning vocal talent of this singer/songwriter. With songs this hot, Lisa and her partners Ian Devaney and Andy Morris should be getting lots of time—make that air time in the years ahead."[2]
Network 40 wrote: "This latest single from her Rolling Stone four-star rated LP maintains Stansfield's stunning soul licks while adding more tempo and house sounds than any of her previously released tracks. A great all-demo track that picks up where "All Around The World" left off, then digs a little deeper."[3]
When I heard it the first time, I thought Central Line was an All- American band of the early '80s since they released a single, "Walking into Sunshine", but I never realized they were British.
In early 1978, four of the TFB members rejoined and expanded the previous format by recruiting Linton Beckles (born Linton Charles Beckles, December 17, 1955 - April 3, 2015) and Kim "Jake" Le Mesurier (oldest son). English actors John Le Mesurier and Hattie Jacques and brother of longtime guitarist Rod Stewart Robin Le Mesurier). The band decided that they needed a new identity, and Defoe came up with the name Central Line because the band was running after a funk and soul center line.

"Walking Into Sunshine" by Central Line is by far their biggest hit. This mix done by Larry Levan has reserved use of synths, perfectly catchy vocals and a lackadaisical beat all of which create a super balanced mix. Not rare, hard to find or even expensive, just a nice solid anti-nine to five tune.

John 18:37

Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”
Psalm 63:6
6 On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.
Acts 20:31
31 So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never
stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.
Philippians 1:7
7 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have
you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and
confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me.
Numbers 11:12
12 Did I conceive all these people? Did I give them birth? Why
do you tell me to carry them in my arms, as a nurse carries an
infant, to the land you promised on oath to their ancestors?
John 7:28
28 Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out,
“Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. I am not

not know him,

Exodus 28:28
28 The rings of the breastpiece are to be tied to the rings of the
ephod with blue cord, connecting it to the waistband, so that
the breastpiece will not swing out from the ephod.
I like the serious heartfelt ballad, "I'm Not in Love", done by only Eric Stewart from 10cc, better than Kathy Redfern's middle part that I'm not happy about since I'm a small 10cc fan.
I'm Not in Love:
short version is better without Kathy Redfern's midsection
Too bad that the song on a 7" 45 RPM single had Kathy Redfern's annoying be-quiet-big-boys-don't-cry junk ruining in midsong that 10cc's record label, Mercury had no time to omit, plus it's too bad that the repeated first verse was omitted too abruptly. I will call that song very heartfelt and bittersweet that touches my heart, because it's mainly all about marriage relationship falling out of favor. Besides it's very touching.
Angel Dusted:
Co-starring Patrick Cassidy, a young Helen Hunt and Jean Stapleton's real-life son Putch in a terrific lead performance, Angel Dusted features an early score by award-winning composer James Horner. Based on the book by Ursula Etons, the film was adapted by Darlene Craviotto, who also plays the boy's psychiatrist.

"Come to Me" by France Joli with Tony Green is based on:
John 8:43-45
43 Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you
cannot bear to hear my word. 44 You are of your father the
devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a
murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the
truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks
out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.
Isaiah 66:13
13 As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and
you will be comforted over Jerusalem.”
Jeremiah 31:13
13 Then young women will dance and be glad, young men and
old as well.
I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort
and joy instead of sorrow.
Isaiah 51:19
19 These double calamities have come upon you— who can
comfort you?—
ruin and destruction, famine and sword— who can[a] console
you?

10 She is pillaged, plundered, stripped! Hearts melt, knees give
way, bodies tremble, every face grows pale.
Numbers 11:12
12 Did I conceive all these people? Did I give them birth? Why
do you tell me to carry them in my arms, as a nurse carries an
infant, to the land you promised on oath to their ancestors?
Ezekiel 13:20
20 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am
against your magic charms with which you ensnare people
like birds and I will tear them from your arms; I will set free
the people that you ensnare like birds.
John 21:15
Jesus Reinstates Peter
15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter,
“Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”
“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”
John 21:16
16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”
He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”
John 21:17
17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you
love me?”
Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do
you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know
that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.
Isaiah 43:4
4 Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because
I love you,
I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for
your life.
Titus 3:8
8 This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these
things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful
to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are
excellent and profitable for everyone.
Acts 24:21
21 unless it was this one thing I shouted as I stood in their
presence: ‘It is concerning the resurrection of the dead that I
am on trial before you today.’”

1 Samuel 20:1
David and Jonathan
20 Then David fled from Naioth at Ramah and went to
Jonathan and asked, “What have I done? What is my
crime? How have I wronged your father, that he is
trying to kill me?”
2 Samuel 16:11
11 David then said to Abishai and all his officials, “My
son, my own flesh and blood, is trying to kill me. How
much more, then, this Benjamite! Leave him alone; let
him curse, for the Lord has told him to.
John 9:29
29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this
fellow, we don’t even know where he comes from.”
Daniel 8:15
The Interpretation of the Vision
15 While I, Daniel, was watching the vision and trying
to understand it, there before me stood one who looked
like a man.
