Sabbath – Feels Good to Me
Feels Good to Me is from the album Tyr (/ˈtɪər/)...the
fifteenth studio album by heavy metal band Black Sabbath, released in August
1990 by I.R.S. Records. The band has stated that while they do not disown or
regret the song "Feels Good to Me", it was put on the album solely to
be released as a single and doesn't fit in musically with the rest of the
record.
The album title and several song titles are taken from Norse
mythology, which led many to call Tyr a concept album, although bassist Neil
Murray dispelled that in 2005, stating that while many of the songs may seem
loosely related, very little of the album has to do with mythology and it was
not intended to be a concept recording. —wiki

Sabbath – Neon Knights
"Neon Knights" is a song by British heavy metal
band Black Sabbath from 1980's Heaven and Hell, their first album with American
vocalist Ronnie James Dio.
"Neon Knights" was the last song written by the
band for the Heaven and Hell album. It was quickly written and recorded at
Studio Ferber in Paris simply to fill time on the album's first side. The
lyrics were written by Dio. It is the only song on Heaven and Hell to
definitely feature songwriting input from bassist Geezer Butler, the band's
main lyricist during the Ozzy Osbourne era. Butler was absent for most of the
songwriting process due to his own uncertainty as to whether he wanted to
remain in the band.--wiki

- Jive Talkin
Largely recognized as the group's "comeback" song,
it was their first US top ten hit since "How Can You Mend a Broken
Heart" in 1971.
The song was originally called "Drive Talking".
The song's rhythm was modelled after the sound their car made crossing the
Julia Tuttle Causeway each day from Biscayne Bay to Criteria Studios in Miami.
"We played it to Arif [producer Arif Mardin], and he
went 'Do you know what "Jive Talkin'" means?' And we said 'Well yeah,
it's, ya know, you're dancing.' He says 'NO...it's a black expression for
bullshitting.' And we went 'OH, REALLY?!?'".
Upon its release to radio stations, the single was delivered
in a plain white cover, with no immediate indication of what the song's name
was or who sang it. The DJs would only find out what the song was and who
played it when it was placed on the turntable; RSO did provide the song with a
label on the record itself. It was the second time in the band's career that
this strategy had been employed to get airplay for their music, after a similar
tactic had popularised their debut US single New York Mining Disaster 1941 in
1967.

Days
"Lonely Days" is a ballad by the Bee Gees. Written
by Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb, and featured on their album 2 Years On, in
the US it reached #3, their highest chart up to that point. Atco released it a
few weeks ahead because the Bee Gees were touring the US. The record success
helped establish the band as expert pop stylists. It was their first Top Five
hit in the US, peaking at number three in the Billboard Hot 100 and reaching
number one in the Cashbox and Record World charts.
In many interviews, the Bee Gees have said that they
recorded this song and "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?" in the same
night that they reunited.
