Rambling minstrel
Article Abstract:
Everyone must attempt to embrace the future, according to singer Donovan Leitch. He was extremely successful during the hippy era of the 1960s, and continued to perform and produce albums in the 1970s. His popularity declined in the 1980s, but he is now attempting to make a comeback. He has recently released an album produced by Rick Robin, and is to undertake an extensive tour of Europe and the US. The new album shows that his voice still retains a very youthful tone, and places strong emphasis on nature and spirituality.

The torch bearer
Article Abstract:
Entertaining can be hard work, according to singer Tony Bennett. This is why he enjoys painting, which he finds a very calming occupation. He learned by imitating entertainers, and was particularly influenced by Bing Crosby. He was discovered by Bob Hope, and early in his career encountered both organized crime and racism. He believes that the modern music industry is full of human greed, and has no sympathy for performers who make vast sums of money and then lose it all again.
