Jack Leroy "Jackie" Wilson, Jr. (June 9, 1934 – January 21, 1984) was an American soul singer-songwriter and performer. A tenor with a four octave vocal range, he was nicknamed "Mr. Excitement", and was important in the transition of rhythm and blues into soul. He was considered a master showman, and one of the most dynamic and influential singers and performers in R&B and rock 'n' roll history. Gaining fame in his early years as a member of the R&B vocal group Billy Ward and His Dominoes, he went solo in 1957 and recorded over 50 hit singles that spanned R&B, pop, soul, doo-wop and easy listening. This included 16 R&B Top 10 hits, including 6 R&B # 1's. On the Billboard Hot 100, he scored 14 Top 20 Pop hits, 6 of which made it into the Pop Top 10. On September 29, 1975, while headlining a Dick Clark Oldies Concert, he collapsed on stage from what was later determined to be a massive heart attack, and subsequently slipped into a coma slowing awakening over a period of 8 months. He remained semi-comatose for the 9 years until his death in 1984, at the age of 49; he was deemed conscious but incapacitated in early June 1976. Wilson was an inspiration to Elvis Presley, Bruce Springsteen, James Brown and Michael Jackson to name a few. He was one of the most influential artists of his generation.

"Silent Night" (German: Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht) is a popular Christmas carol, composed in 1818 by Franz Xaver Gruber to lyrics by Joseph Mohr in the small town of Oberndorf bei Salzburg, Austria. It was declared an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2011. The song has been recorded by a large number of singers from every music genre. The version sung by Bing Crosby is the third best-selling single of all-time.
The song was first performed on Christmas Eve 1818 at St Nicholas parish church in Oberndorf, a village in the Austrian Empire on the Salzach river in present-day Austria. A young priest, Father Joseph Mohr, had come to Oberndorf the year before. He had already written the lyrics of the song "Stille Nacht" in 1816 at Mariapfarr, the hometown of his father in the Salzburg Lungau region, where Joseph had worked as a coadjutor.
The melody was composed by Franz Xaver Gruber, schoolmaster and organist in the nearby village of Arnsdorf. Before Christmas Eve, Mohr brought the words to Gruber and asked him to compose a melody and guitar accompaniment for the church service. Both performed the carol during the mass on the night of December 24.
"Silent Night" is a popular Christmas carol.

Silent Night is a Sri Lankan silent film written, directed, and edited by Madhawa Srinath Thirimanna.
When a young boy loses his first love, he becomes lonely and sad. He tries desperately to find a solution to his loneliness, while still believing that his lost love will eventually return to him. He uses drugs and alcohol to forget, but it is not successful. He keeps waiting, expecting his ex-girlfriend to return, but she never comes back. The beautiful young girl feels remorse for what she did to her boyfriend. Even though she was the one who ended the relationship, she still loved the young boy. She thinks about asking for forgiveness and starting their relationship over again, and eventually sends a text message to her ex-boyfriend saying that she still loves him.
The boy, giving up all hope on his lost girlfriend's return, decides to end his life and hang himself. Soon after his death, he receives a message from his ex-girlfriend, reading "I LOVE YOU".

With a little bit of love (a huh a hu-aah a huh)
Are you lonesome tonight
Are you here on your own, can I get your attention?
So you're dancin' here tonight
With a smile that shines so bright
Could I hold you tonight?
With a little bit of love
With a little bit of hope
With a little bit of everything
Do you think that's enough?
Tell me now
Is it asking too much, to stay for a while
'Cause time, precious time, is not my side
Tell me now
Is it asking too much, to stay for a while
'Cause time, precious time, is not my side
With a little bit of love (a huh a hu-aah a huh)
If I could hold you tonight
Make you feel alright, gonna take you to heaven
I miss you being on my side
Make me feel alright
Take you through all the night
With a little bit of love
With a little bit of hope
With a little bit of everything
Do you think that's enough?
Little bit of love, little bit of hope
Little bit of love, little bit of hope
Little bit of love, little bit of hope
Little bit of love, little bit of hope
Tell me now
Is it asking too much, to stay for a while
'Cause time, precious time, is not on my side
Tell me now
Is it asking too much, to stay for a while
'Cause time, precious time, is not on my side
