David Gibson (musician)

David Gibson is a Canadian pop-rock singer, most noted for receiving a Juno Award nomination for Most Promising Male Vocalist at the Juno Awards of 1987.
Born in Toronto, Canada, Gibson was touring Canada and Europe with various bands shortly after leaving school. Although he wrote songs, none were considered good enough to perform by the bands he fronted, nor were club goers interested in hearing unknown music. After a year of playing covers 6 nights a week, Gibson realized the key to earning a living was in writing and performing original music. While on the road, Gibson continued to hone his songwriting skills but found that while music and melody came easy, words did not, Gibson began writing with Robert Uhrig.
In the mid 1980s, after recording a six-track demo of original songs written with Uhrig, Gibson was offered a recording deal with Loose End Records in London, England after impressing producer Pete Waterman. Loose End subsequently dissolved during contract negotiations due to the break up of the labels two partners, Waterman and Peter Collins.
Returning to Canada, Gibson met guitarist/producer Domenic Troiano. Upon signing with Troiano's Black Market label, "Lock Up My Heart" was recorded and released in the summer of 1986, accompanied with a video, directed by Stephen Reynolds. The track did well enough to garner Gibson the Juno Award nomination in March 1987 .
Black Market/A&M Records then issued Gibson's self-titled album in 1988. The album's singles received modest radio airplay, as did the videos on Canada's national music station, MuchMusic and CBC's Video Hits for tracks such as "Easy Street", "Lying to Me" and "We Close Our Eyes". The album was supported by a cross-Canada tour.
"Rhythm Method" was Gibson's follow up release in early 1990, again with Black Market, however the distribution deal with A&M was no longer in place, and the albums impact was minimal at best.
Over the next few years, Gibson's music was featured heavily on several TV shows in the US, Canada, the UK and France.
In 1996, "I Don't Know", a Gibson/Uhrig penned song that was recorded by Escapade from Chicago. Several DJ's issued various mixes of the track and it became a breakout hit throughout the world, particularly in dance clubs, during the summer of 1997. The track was well reviewed and charted in Billboard Magazine. The track appeared on several dance mix compilations.
Gibson had been inactive within the music industry for the past several years, however "Life Lines" an album of new songs was released in December 2020.

Plot.
Isabel Archer is a very beautiful woman, who has already rejected many suitors: among them the wealthy Lord Warburton and Caspar Goodwood, to whom she had initially given hope. Caspar's arrival is arranged by Henrietta, a close friend of Isabel, who cares for her deeply. Isabel's strong character and free-spirited nature is adored by her cousin, Ralph Touchett, who persuades his father, her uncle, to give Isabel money so that she can be rich and independent. Upon her uncle's death, Isabel receives a fortune.
Isabel encounters Madame Serena and instantly likes her, however, learning about Isabel's wealth, Serena decides to arrange a marriage between Isabel and Serena's former lover Gilbert Osmond, who lives in Florence, Italy. Gilbert is a widower and has a daughter Pansy, who grew up in a convent and is not allowed to leave the house, even to walk in the garden, when her father is away. Isabel is enchanted by Gilbert and accepts the proposal; however, she's warned by Ralph that Gilbert is a "small man" and Isabel is giving up her dreams to be in a cage with a worthless husband. Isabel is enraged and slaps Ralph, to which he calmly answers that he said what he must, that he loves Isabel, and that he knows he has no hope (it's also evident that he's slowly dying from consumption).
Gilbert is nice to Isabel until after they are married. Isabel finds herself trapped in Rome in an unhappy marriage with a fear of her abusive husband, who gradually disconnects her from all of her friends - Henrietta, Ralph, and Caspar all leave for England. Pansy is also a victim of her father's overly protective behaviour - she's in love with Rosier, but Gilbert has decided to arrange a marriage between her and Lord Warburton (who is attentive to Pansy just to get closer to Isabel). Isabel sees the mutual love between Pansy and Rosier and is deeply moved; Gilbert sees through Isabel's schemes to prevent Pansy becoming engaged to Warburton, but too late - Lord Warburton leaves Italy. Gilbert angrily slaps Isabel and steps on her dress so that she falls on the ground. Serena deeply regrets organising the fateful union between Gilbert and Isabel.
Isabel learns that Ralph is overtaken by consumption and is on his deathbed. She asks Gilbert to let her to go to England to be with her dying cousin, but receives a cold and negative answer. Pansy is sent to a convent away from her lover. Isabel is pitied by Gilbert's sister, who finally opens Isabel's eyes, telling her that Gilbert's first wife was childless and Pansy is, in fact, Gilbert and Serena's daughter. Isabel finally decides to go against her husband wishes and leave for England. She visits Pansy and proposes the girl to flee, but Pansy refuses, saying that she wants to please her father. In the convent, Isabel also encounters Serena, but proudly ignores her attempts to start a conversation. However, in the last minute before Isabel leaves, Serena runs to her - she has guessed Isabel is going to England to Ralph and reveals to Isabel that Ralph is the one that persuaded the uncle to give Isabel her fortune. On Ralph's deathbed, Isabel tearfully confesses that he's been her best friend and she loves him. Henrietta and Caspar attend Ralph's funeral. In the garden, Caspar tried to persuade Isabel to let go of her fear of her husband. They kiss passionately, but Isabel runs away to the house. She suddenly stops before the house door, and leans against it, looking back into the garden.

Jerry Jerry and the Sons of Rhythm Orchestra is a Canadian alternative rock band whose musical style blends elements of surf music, gospel music, rockabilly, garage, and punk. The band also experimented with jazz on their third album "Don't Mind If I Do".
Jerry Jerry and the Sons of Rhythm Orchestra was formed in 1982 by lead singer Jerry Woods in Edmonton, Alberta. Starting out as what Jerry described as a "fuck band," after time they found themselves becoming a serious local act, prompting them to release their first independent EP "Fighting Socialism" in 1984. The band released their first album "Road Gore: The Band That Drank Too Much" in 1985 under Og Music. They moved from Edmonton to Montreal in 1986 where they signed with Pipeline Records, along with such acts as the Doughboys and Ray Condo and his Hardrock Goners. In 1987, they released their critically acclaimed follow-up "Battle Hymn of the Apartment".

This marked the apex of their commercial success, prompting them to tour North America throughout the early '90s. After the production of two more albums, 1992's "Don't Mind If I Do" and 1997's "The Sound and The Jerry", Jerry Woods moved back to Edmonton in 1999 with his wife and five children. The band continued to play until 2005.

An Affair of the Skin

An Affair of the Skin is a 1963 drama film written and directed by Ben Maddow. It is a complex story of the romantic entanglements of its several characters as seen through the eyes of a black woman photographer. Shortly after its release, the film was harshly reviewed in "Time" and "The New York Times". Woody Haut's more recent characterization is more sympathetic:
Maddow is reported as feeling that the initial release of "An Affair of the Skin" had been rushed for financial reasons. In 1973, 10 years after its initial release, Maddow re-edited and released it again under the title "Love As Disorder". As described by John Hagan, "An offscreen narration by the photographer was added to establish her as an observer: a participant in the action, but also a caustic chronicler of it. As in much of Maddow's work, inner disorder is seen against a background of social unrest as described in a highly imagistic manner by a person who has both emotional involvement and critical detachment."
Premise.
Set in New York, the drama describes the sexual relations of the three main characters, Victoria, Allen, and his wife Katherine, including the problems they encounter as told in three intertwined stories. Victoria is an aging fashion model who is afraid to let go of her young male lover because she thinks she is too old to ever get another man to love her. Allen and Katherine are an unhappily married neurotic couple with problems of their own.

He claims his innocence since he didn't know she was under age. Despite this, Frankie is convicted and sentenced to prison for 2 1/2 to 5 years. The sentence is to be served in Jackson State Prison (“Jacktown”) in Michigan.
Because of the crime he is convicted for, he is unpopular among the other prisoners. To release the tension his presence builds up in the correctional facility, Frankie is put on gardening duty in the warden living quarters.
While gardening, Frankie meets the warden's daughter, Margaret, and they fall in love with each other. When the warden learns about Frankie's relation with his daughter he moves him to another position, as chauffeur outside the prison walls.
There is a prison riot inside while Frankie is outside driving a prisoner. The guard who is along on the ride is overpowered by the other prisoner and Frankie gets a chance to escape.
As a fugitive, Frankie goes to Margaret, but she convinces him to turn himself in, promising to wait for him until he is properly released and a free man.
