Most albums today have the lyrics to all the
songs written in the liner notes. Occasionally,
though, the random album won’t, leaving the
listener wondering if the song is about coming
home or drunk hyenas.
That’s where Sing 365 steps in to save the
day, or at least your listening pleasure. Sing,
365 is a Web site on which lyrics to almost any
song by any artist in any genre can be found.
It’s a comprehensive collection of artist biogra
phies, discographies and lyrics. Much of the
information is taken straight from the artists’
personal Web sites, so the information can gen
erally be trusted.
The Web site is kept up-to-date. There are
even lyrics available to albums that won’t be
released for another month or two.
It’s easy to navigate Sing 365. Browse the
Web site by the first letter of artists’ names, or
use the simple search engine. Search by artist
album or song title.
Sing 365 is one of the best archives for sons
lyrics on the Internet. It’s comprehensive, easy
to navigate and easy to load on even the slow
est of computers. Many other Web sites would
be well advised to stand up and take notice.

Jones sweeps Grammys with 8,
Springsteen, Chicks take 3 each
By Nekesa Mumbi Moody
THE BATTALION
NEW YORK (AP) —The
music of pop-jazz chanteuse
Norah Jones garnered eight
Grammy awards Sunday night,
including album and record of
the year, capping a year where
the sultry singer catapulted to
international acclaim.
“I feel really blessed and
really lucky,” Jones said after
winning the album of the year at
the end of the 45th annual
awards show.
Jones, who won in every cat
egory where she was nominated,
tied Lauryn Hill and Alicia Keys
for most wins by a female artist
in a single night.
As unknown as triple-winner
Bruce Springsteen was
acclaimed before the last year,
Jones won five individual
Grammys.
“I never ever thought that the
music I made would become
popular music, so this is amaz
ing,” Jones said as she picked up
an award for best pop vocal
album.
She also won for best female
pop vocal, best new artist and
for record of the year for “Don’t
Know Why,” written by Jesse
Harris, who won the song of the
year Grammy.
Her album, “Come Away
With Me,” earned best engi
neered album and producer of
the year honors for Arif Mardin.
The 23-year-old New Yorker,
who emerged last year after
signing with the tiny Blue Note
label, sold more than 6 million
copies of her debut worldwide.
Jones, the daughter of Indian
sitar guru Ravi Shankar and
New York concert producer Sue
Jones, appeared almost over
whelmed in accepting one award
from the “Queen of Soul,”
Aretha Franklin.
“I can’t believe this,” she
said breathlessly.
Harris, who thanked Jones
for “being a pal,” said backstage
that he “thought for certain
Bruce was going to win.”
Springsteen was clearly a
favorite of the crowd inside
Madison Square Garden as the
Grammys returned to New York
for the first time in five years.
His Sept. 11-inspired “The
Rising” was honored for male
rock vocal, rock album and rock
song, although the Boss lost out
for album and song of the year.
Performing only a few miles
north of ground zero,
Springsteen delivered a rousing
performance of the title track
midway through the show as the
crowd screamed,
“Bruuuuce!!!!”
Later, Springsteen joined
Elvis Costello, Little Steven Van
Zandt, Dave Grohl and Tony
Kanal for a rousing tribute to the
late Joe Strummer — a version
of the Clash’s “London
Calling.”
The Dixie Chicks, after a bit
ter legal battle with their label
Sony, took best country album
among their three Grammys.
The trio’s multiplatinum
“Home,” a return to their coun
try roots, was co-produced by
member Natalie Maines’ father,
Lloyd.
“1 want to check the record
books and see how many fathers
and daughters have won
Grammys together,” she said,
grabbing her father.
Among the double winners
were Eminem, Coldplay,
India.Arie and Nelly. Eminem’s
second Grammy came for best
rap album, the third time he’s
won in the category.
Instead of offering an accept
ance speech, Eminem rattled off
a list of rappers who had
inspired him, including Run-
DMC, LL Cool J, Tupac Shakur
and the Notorious B.I.G.
“Thank you, because I
learned from all of you,” he said.
Eight artists were nominated
for five Grammys apiece, with
all but teen rocker Avril Lavigne
going home winners. Perennial
Grammy favorite Sheryl Crow,
neosoul singer-songwriter
Raphael Saadiq and R&B new
comer Ashanti were single win
ners.
Country singer Alan Jackson,
who wrote “Where Were You
(When the World Stopped
Turning)” in the weeks after the
terrorist attacks, won best coun-
KRT CAMPUS
Norah Jones took home seven
awards at Sunday night’s Grammys,
try song for the mournful tune.
India. Arie, who was nominat
ed for seven Grammys last year
but lost them all, finallygother
first two, winning for best utbaii
alternative perfomia/ice for,a
“Little Things’’ and best
album for “Voyage to India."
Among the other winners: (lie
previously unheralded Funk
Brothers. The groundbreaking
house band for Motown
Records, the focus of the recenl
documentary “Standing in the
Shadows of Motown,” won two
trophies.
Some other veteran artists
added to bulging trophy cases:
bluesman B.B. King won two,
for 13 in his career, while
Johnny Cash won his 11th and
Tony Bennett his 10th —while
soul legend Solomon Burke wo
his first.
“We got a Grammy, baby!’'
Burke said as he hoisted his
Grammy.
The disc “Vaughn Williams:
A Sea Symphony” garnered
three awards, including best
classical album.
The show opened with Dusli
Hoffman — one in a revolving
series of New York-based hosts
— introducing a reunion per
formance by lifetime achieve
ment award winners Simon and
Garfunkel. The pair, who sang
“The Sound of Silence,” have
shared a tumultuous relationship
this was their first performance
together in a decade.
