James "Jim" Kerr (born in Glasgow on 9 July 1959) is a Scottish musician and singer-songwriter, famous for his work with the rock band Simple Minds from Scotland. They achieved five UK number one albums, and a number one single "Belfast Child" from their album "Street Fighting Years" in 1989. The song "Belfast Child" uses the music from the Irish folk song "She Moved Through the Fair", but has completely different words. It is also known as the "Ballad of the Streets".
Today is Jim's 50th birthday, and I'd like to share his video which is released 20 years ago with you again. The video to the song was shot in black and white and displays poignant footage of children and the destruction of the bombing. Happy 50th birthday, Jim!!!

Josh Groban | "You Raise Me Up" (Video)
Josh Groban was born on February 27, 1981 in LA, to a Polish-Russian father and a Norwegian mother. "You Raise Me Up" cames from his 2nd studio album and 3rd overall album "Closer" which was subsequently recorded by Daniel O'Donnell, and released on November 11, 2003. This popular Christian-themed song was a hit throughout Ireland and the UK.
Groban uses his voice based on the first B flat above middle C. I love this song, it's so beautiful and powerful. Please visit his MySpace, and follow his Twitter for more info.
