Earl Rudolph "Bud" Powell (September 27, 1924 – July 31, 1966) was a jazz pianist, born and raised in Harlem, New York City. While Thelonious Monk became his close friend, his greatest influence on piano was Art Tatum.
Along with Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, Powell was a leading figure in the development of modern jazz, or bebop. His virtuosity led many to call him the Charlie Parker of the piano. Powell was also a composer, and he "greatly extended the range of jazz harmony."
Powell's father was a stride pianist. Powell took to his father's instrument at a very young age, starting on classical-piano lessons at age five. His teacher, hired by his father, was a West Indian man named Rawlins.
But by age ten, Powell also showed interest in the swing-era jazz that could be heard all over the neighborhood. He first appeared in public at a rent party, where he mimicked Fats Waller's playing style. The first jazz composition that he mastered was James P. Johnson's "Carolina Shout".
"Lover, Come Back to Me" is a popular song. The music was written by Sigmund Romberg with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II for the Broadway show The New Moon, where the song was introduced by Evelyn Herbert and Robert Halliday (as Robert Misson). The song was published in 1928. Its middle section is based on "June: Barcarolle" from Tchaikovsky's The Seasons, opus 37b.
The song was performed by Lawrence Tibbett and Grace Moore in New Moon, the 1930 film adaptation of The New Moon, and by Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy in the 1940 adaptation, also titled New Moon.
Arranged and conducted by George Williams, the song was released as Barbra Streisand's second single release in November 1962, as a double single with "My Coloring Book".
Produced by Mike Berniker, and recorded before Streisand's first album sessions, the single was sent to radio.
In 1963, Streisand later re-recorded the song for her second album "The Second Barbra Streisand Album", which later appeared on the compilation "The Essential Barbra Streisand". In her first television special, "My Name is Barbra", she performs a bitterly jubilant version of the song, showcasing her versatility. In 2000, she performed the song on her "Timeless Tour" and a live recording was included on the live album "Timeless: Live in Concert", and the accompanying DVD release.
"Lover Come Back to Me" is a 1985 single by Dead or Alive and was produced by Stock Aitken Waterman. It was taken from the band's second album, Youthquake, and the single mix features slightly different instrumentation to the album version but is generally the same. The single peaked at #11 in the UK, #3 in South Africa, #21 in Germany, #13 in Australia and #75 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
In addition to the standard 7" and 12" formats (the latter of which included a sleeve which could be opened up in to a poster), a fan-shaped picture disc was also released in the UK. The B-side to the single was "Far Too Hard", a song from the band's first album.
Like "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" the song was re-recorded in 2003 for the band's retrospective compilation Evolution: The Hits.
The single generally received positive reviews, being described as "appealing" by Ira Robbins while Ned Raggett of Allmusic said, "When Burns commands at the end of the chorus, 'Kick it right down, right down!' it's as memorable as mass media pop of any stripe ever gets."

You went away, I let you,
We broke the ties that bind.
I wanted to forget you
And leave the past behind.
Still the magic of the night I met you
Seems to stay forever in my mind.
The sky was blue, and high above;
The moon was new, and so was love.
This eager heart of mine was singing,
"Lover, where can you be?"
You came at last, love had its day;
That day is past, you've gone away.
This aching heart of mine is singing,
"Lover, come back to me."
Remembering every little thing you used to say and do,
I'm so lonely;
Every road I walk along, I've walked along with you--
No wonder I am lonely.
The sky is blue, the night is cold;
The moon is new, but love is old.
And while I'm waiting here, this heart of mine is singing,
"Lover, come back to me."
And while I'm waiting here, this heart of mine is singing,
"Lover, come back to me."
