    I seem to remember this gentleman.. certainly remember the song.. also remember the "She" club..spent many a night in there when it was a cabaret club.. had a cracking disco!.. showing my age now
    The opera singer was older I think.. or could be my brain cells are being selective in their memories!.. am still in The She or the Wookey Hollow.. another blast from the past!.. failing that there was always Squires in Woolton.. excellent way to whet the appetite for a weekend's clubbing.. that was our Thursday night port of call!

    Last time I was in the Empire was to see the return of Willy Russell's 'Blood Brothers' in 2004 (?). I had seen the original at the Playhouse about twenty years before and again on Broadway in the nineties.

    Default Street Singer 1977

    Growing up in the Brooklyn projects, Shawn Carter?better known by his nom de rap Jay-Z?identified with the underprivileged kids in the movie musical Annie. "It's the hard knock life for us!" they sang in one signature number. " 'Steada treated, we get tricked! 'Steada kisses, we get kicked! It's the hard knock life for us!" "These kids sing about the hard knock life, things everyone in the ghetto feels coming up," says Jay-Z, 29. "That's the ghetto anthem.It apparently strikes a chord elsewhere as well. Jay-Z's catchy sampling of the chorus led to a hit single and a Best Rap Album Grammy and helped sell more than 4 million copies of his third CD, Vol. 2...Hard Knock Life. That, in turn, has made him hip-hop royalty. "He's a star," says Carlito Rodriguez, senior articles editor for The Source, a hip-hop magazine. "He comes off as being above average intelligence, not only on his music but in his business deals."
