Leif Garrett (born Leif Per Nervik; November 8, 1961) is an Americansinger, actor and television personality. He became famous in the late 1970s as a child pop star and teen idol, but received much publicity later in his adult life for his drug abuse and legal troubles.
Early life
Garrett was born in Hollywood, California to Carolyn Stellar and Rik Nervik, and started his entertainment career at age five. His father was absent for most of his life, but Garrett has since reconciled with him, stating "He feels so badly about missing the years when you know you’re so proud to have a son, like from age 12 to manhood, when you help influence and guide your son’s life. Well, he missed out on all that stuff. He is regretting missing that and he now treats me like that."
Career
In the first few years of his career Garrett performed under the name of "Leif Per"; however, casting agents found the name difficult to pronounce (Per is pronounced the same as "pair" or "pear"). In 1971, Garrett received a check in the mail incorrectly addressed to a "Leif Garrett". After Garrett and his mother undertook research on the name, they found that the name "Garrett" held connotations of strength, so the name stuck.
Leif Garrett is the debut studio album by American singer-actor Leif Garrett, released in 1977 by Atlantic. Garrett had recorded the album at Atlantic Studios while staying in New York City, and released the album at the age of 15.
The Detroit Emeralds were an AmericanR&B/soul vocal group, best known in the early 1970s. They enjoyed a run of successful records in the decade including their 1973 transatlantic hit single, "Feel the Need in Me".
Career
"The Emeralds" were formed as a vocal harmony group in Little Rock, Arkansas, and originally composed of four brothers, Ivory (September 14, 1941 - September 13, 2014), Abrim (January 12, 1945 – July 6, 1982), Cleophus and Raymond Tilmon. After Cleophus and Raymond left, the remaining Tilmon brothers were joined by childhood friend, James Mitchell. Moving to Detroit, Michigan and expanding their name to the Detroit Emeralds, the trio had their first R&B chart success on Ric-Tic Records, with "Show Time" in 1968.
Feel the Need is the second solo album of James "J.T." Taylor. The album includes hits "Long Hot Summer Night" and "Heart to Heart" (duet with Stephanie Mills). This album was released by MCA Records in 1991.
Feel the Need is the second studio album by American singer-actor Leif Garrett, released in 1978 by Scotti Brothers Records. The album peaked at number 34 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and spawned two hit singles: "I Was Made for Dancin" (US No. 10) and "Feel the Need" (US No. 57).
The Need is an American queercore band formed by singer/drummer Rachel Carns and guitarist Radio Sloan in Portland, Oregon in the mid-1990s. After issuing a series of seven-inches on labels including Kill Rock Stars and Outpunk, The Need relocated to Olympia, Washington and released two albums for Chainsaw Records. The duo's unsettling brand of post-punkart rock (combined with Carns' distinctive artwork) would set them apart and ensure their versatility. During the band's initial run, they played shows with such diverse acts as Tribe 8, Fugazi, The Ex and Bright Eyes, and toured with Le Tigre, BS 2000 and Blonde Redhead. Their third album, The Transfused, acted as a soundtrack to the rock opera of the same name. The Need dissolved in 2001, with Carns and Sloan shifting their focus to other projects. After briefly reuniting for benefit shows in 2010, The Need reformed for a second time in 2013 and released the album Resurrection.
Background
Rachel Carns formed Kicking Giant with fellow Cooper Union student Tae Won Yu in 1990. Based in New York, the pair recorded songs on Yu's 4-track and released a number of homemade cassettes. Through the network of underground fanzines and tape trading circles, Kicking Giant were introduced to the riot grrrl movement, which merged DIY culture and feminism. After performing at the International Pop Underground Convention in Olympia, Washington, the energy of the burgeoning Pacific Northwest punk scene proved infectious and both members were ready to leave New York. The duo parted ways temporarily in 1992 when Yu moved to Olympia and Carns to Washington, D.C. (where she briefly joined Slant 6 as drummer) before moving to Olympia to rejoin Yu and Kicking Giant. During the next three years Carns also performed and recorded with The Fakes, Sue P. Fox, The Pet Stains and Witchypoo. Kicking Giant issued their final album on K Records in 1994 before breaking up the following year.
MercyMe is an American contemporary Christian music band founded in Greenville, Texas. The band consists of vocalist Bart Millard, keyboardist James Bryson, percussionist Robby Shaffer, bassist Nathan Cochran and guitarists Michael Scheuchzer and Barry Graul.
The band formed in 1994 and released six independent albums prior to signing with INO Records in 2001.
The group first gained mainstream recognition with the crossover single, "I Can Only Imagine" which elevated their debut album, Almost There, to double platinum certification. Since then, the group has released six additional studio albums (four of which have been certified gold) and a greatest hits album, 10. The group has also had 13 consecutive top 5 singles on the BillboardChristian Songs chart, with 7 of them reaching No.1. MercyMe has won 8 Dove Awards and has had numerous Grammy Award nominations. On April 8, 2014, the band released its eighth studio album titled Welcome to the New.

LEIF GARRETT Feel The Need EXTENDED VERSION
The title track of Leif Garrett's sophomore LP, this would prove to be the tipping point for his career. After the 60's covers that dominated his self titled debut, the disco treatment was front and centre on Leif's 1978/79 hit 'I was made for dancin'. Australia was his biggest market, as we made 'Surfin USA' a #2; 'Runaround Sue' #8 and 'I was made for dancin' #2. However, the subsequent albums provided no further chart success for the former teen star.
'Feel the need' was originally a hit for The Detroit Emeralds in 1973. Strangely, a longer version re-entered the British charts in 1977 making #12. (The original release had reached #4). Neither version could go any higher than #90 in America. Leif's disco-fied version reached #38 in Britain; #57 in America and a lowly #97 in Australia. ...
