GIVE ME YOUR HEART TONIGHT - SHAKIN' STEVENS - (1982)

SHAKIN' STEVENS, also known as "Shaky" (born Michael Barrett, 4 March 1948) is a platinum selling Welsh rock and roll singer and songwriter, who has the distinction of being the top selling male UK singles artist of the 1980s. His recording and performing career began in the late 1960s, although it was not until 1980 that he saw commercial success in his native land. In the UK alone, Stevens has charted no fewer than 33 top 40 hit singles in the sales charts, making him one of the most charted (and biggest selling) acts of all-time.

Present day

In May 2007, Stevens released a new album entitled Now Listen with the album being released first in Denmark. In December 2007, Stevens re-entered the UK charts with a re-issue of "Merry Christmas Everyone" twenty two years after its original launch, reaching a UK chart position of 22.
Chris Evans featured a special Shaky Week on his Radio 2 show during early March 2008 to celebrate Stevens's 60th birthday and later in 2008, despite his aging years, Shaky embarked on a string of major concerts in the UK and Europe that started at Lulworth Castle on 4 July. On 24 August 2008 Shakin' Stevens performed at a major concert in Poland featuring many European pop stars of the 1980s, including Kim Wilde, Modern Talking, Samantha Fox, Sandra Cretu, Sabrina Salerno and Limahl. The concert formed a part of the Sopot International Song Festival 2008 and was presented live on the Polish television channel TVN. To wind up 2008 Stevens followed his European tour with a short tour of Ireland and an appearance at London's O2 Arena, supported by a ten-piece band. His appearances in 2009 will open with a tour of Poland to coincide with the Polish release of the Now Listen album. In mid July 2006, Shaky took to the stage at an open air concert 'The Big Buzz' in Swansea, Wales. He was top of the bill, and performed a repertoire of his hits, including "Oh Julie", "Marie Marie" and "Turning Away". He also performed two songs from his most recent album, Now Listen ("Now Listen" and "Baby It's You"). The concert also featured Dave Edmunds and was broadcast live on BBC Radio Wales. Stevens's original band The Sunsets have continued to perform regularly over the years without him and still tour annually in the UK, Europe and Australia with a show of authentic vintage rock and roll. In recent years the band has been fronted by Shaky's younger nephew, Levi Barrett. In April 2008, it was announced that Shakin' Stevens would be performing at 2008's Glastonbury Festival as the opening act on the Pyramid stage on Saturday 28 June, which he did, opening the day at 11am to a capacity crowd - several hours before the BBC started to film the day's performers for broadcast, although Stevens' performance still received media attention. On 8 December 2009 Shaky played a one - off gig at the O2 academy Islington to promote the release of the "The Epic Masters Box Set" (released 16 November 2009) which marks the thirtieth anniversary of his first hit "Hot Dog".
On 10 December 2009, Stevens appeared in court in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, charged with assaulting photographer Hugo McNiece at the Tullyglass Hotel in Ballymena on 3 December. In January 2010 he was convicted of the assault and criminal damage in the case. He was fined a total of £300 and ordered to pay McNeice £479 to compensate for the damage to his camera lens.

Em 1982 eu tinha apenas 3 anos, mas essa música tem um significado marcante em minha vida, pois a 3 meses conheci uma mulher e essa foi a 1ª música que dancei com ela. Desde então venho procurando por ela em todos os sites de música sem saber o nome da mesma nem o nome do artista, até que, após incansável busca, encontrei a música que me trouxe aquela que hoje posso chamar de MEU AMOR!

Obrigado MrLarson40, por me dar esse presente sem ao menos me conhecer.

Esta é a música mais linda que eu já ouvir, e que tive oportunidade de dançar com a pessoa que mais amo na vida queria poder ouvi-la com este amor e ao dançar sussurrar ao teu ouvido todas noites: Cause I'm not crying without reason I'm not asking what is right. Tust like the changin' of the season Give me your heart tonight. Cause I'm not waiting for a secret I don't want to hear a lie. Don't want the promise of tomorrow Give me your heart tonight. Com certeza ñ foi só um sonho, acontecerá!
