Non, je ne regrette rien "Non, je ne regrette rien" (French pronunciation: [nɔ̃ ʒə nə ʁəɡʁɛtə ʁjɛ̃], meaning "No, I regret nothing") is a French song composed by Charles Dumont, with lyrics by Michel Vaucaire. It was written in 1956, and is best known through Édith Piaf's 1960 recording, which spent seven weeks atop the French Singles & Airplay Reviews chart.[1] Piaf dedicated her recording of the song to the French Foreign Legion.[2] At the time of the recording, France was engaged in a military conflict, the Algerian War (1954–1962), and the 1st REP (1st Foreign Parachute Regiment) — which backed a temporary putsch of 1961 by the French military against president Charles de Gaulle and the civilian leadership of Algeria – adopted the song when their resistance was broken. The leadership of the Regiment was arrested and tried but the non-commissioned officers, corporals and Legionnaires were assigned to other Foreign Legion formations.

Midnight Oil Midnight Oil won eleven Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Awards during its career,[11] including induction into the Hall of Fame in 2006.[12][13] At the induction, ARIA chairman Denis Handlin described Midnight Oil as true legends that always led by example in a uniquely Australian way with music that is powerful, uncompromising, inspiring, entertaining and enduring.[6] Farm: 1972–1976[edit] 1976–1981[edit] Martin Rotsey, Midnight Oil guitarist, at the Souths Leagues Club in Brisbane, 2007 Fans, music industry, media[edit] Driven largely by commercial pressures to stay with reliable chart-toppers and teenage pop sensations, the Australian music industry in the mid-1970s cast a dismissive eye toward most bands with an alternative outlook. In retaliation, Morris banned Elder from Oil's shows permanently. Fans of the group were drawn to the band's "us and them" mindset, and fan loyalty to the Oils' ideas and music was fierce.

2000 Years: The Millennium Concert 2000 Years: The Millennium Concert is a two-disc set and the third live album by Billy Joel, released in 2000. On 05/31/2000 it was certified Gold by the RIAA for sales of 250,000 copies. The album was recorded on New Year's Eve 1999 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, during Joel's The Night of Two Thousand Years Tour. Though some alterations were made before its release: some songs are not the same version featured in the original concert (like "Big Shot")[citation needed], others were edited in studio (some YouTube videos of "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant" show Billy singing offkey, while he sings perfectly on the album). 2000 Years: The Millennium Concert also marked the first time several songs had to be transposed to lower keys to accommodate Joel's deepening voice. "Only the Good Die Young," "Goodnight Saigon," "I Go To Extremes," and "The River of Dreams" are a semitone lower. Track listing[edit] All songs written by Billy Joel, except where noted. Disc one[1]
