Jimmy Rowles (born James George Hunter; August 19, 1918 – May 28, 1996) was an American jazz pianist, vocalist, and composer. As a bandleader and accompanist, he explored various styles including swing and cool jazz.
In the 1950s and 1960s, he frequently played behind Billie Holiday and Peggy Lee, and in the 1980s he succeeded Paul Smith as Ella Fitzgerald's accompanist. Rowles had first performed with Fitzgerald at the Mocambo nightclub in Hollywood, Los Angeles, in late 1956. He had appeared on several recording sessions with her in the 1960s, before joining her for nearly three years in 1981. Rowles appeared on Fitzgerald's final collaboration with Nelson Riddle, The Best Is Yet to Come in 1982. Fitzgerald recorded Rowles and Johnny Mercer's song "Baby, Don't You Quit Now" on her final album, All That Jazz, released in 1989.
So Far So Good is the first DVD by Atomic Kitten and was released in 2001. It is also available as video. It is also the only DVD which features Kerry Katona before she left the band due to her pregnancy. The video consists of interviews and footage of the promotion tours, the first big concert in Liverpool. The majority of the footage was created using handheld cameras.
It also contains the music videos for "Right Now", "See Ya", "I Want Your Love", "Follow Me", "Whole Again" and two versions of "Eternal Flame"

"So Far So Good" is the first single by Thornley from the band's first studio album, Come Again. It is the first single released by Ian Thornley after the break-up of his previous band, Big Wreck. The song was featured on the soundtrack of the 2004 comedy film, Going the Distance. The opening riff has been used in commercials for Canadian radio station CFNY-FM.
So Far So Good is a greatest hits album by Canadian rock musician Bryan Adams, released by A&M Records in November 1993. The album reached number six on the Billboard 200 in 1994 and was number one hit in UK and many other countries.
The album contains songs from 1983's Cuts Like a Knife to 1991's Waking Up the Neighbours, and a new single, "Please Forgive Me". Originally the song "So Far So Good" was going to be included on the album so the album started and finished with a new song but it was dropped. The song was included on disc two of Anthology.
The only song on the album that has never been released as a single is "Kids Wanna Rock" from 1984's Reckless, which replaced "One Night Love Affair", taken from the same album. Although the latter had been released as a single in 1985, charting in Canada and Japan, 'Kids Wanna Rock" proved to be a popular live staple during Adams' world tours. In fact, various live recordings of "Kids Wanna Rock" were issued as B-sides between 1984 and 1992. Other notable singles that were left off include 1987's "Hearts on Fire" and "Victim of Love", the moderately successful "Thought I'd Died and Gone to Heaven" from 1991, and the 1992 US single "Touch the Hand". Early versions of the album had a circular black sticker on the jewelcase, covering the wheel, featuring the text "The Best of Bryan Adams" in red letters. Also, the album cover was available in different colour schemes, varying from dark green, to light brown and bright orange. The album has been repackaged several times; some versions included the singles "All for Love" from 1994 or "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?" from 1995.

Jimmy Rowles (born James George Hunter; August 19, 1918 – May 28, 1996) was an American jazz pianist, vocalist, and composer. As a bandleader and accompanist, he explored various styles including swing and cool jazz.
In the 1950s and 1960s, he frequently played behind Billie Holiday and Peggy Lee, and in the 1980s he succeeded Paul Smith as Ella Fitzgerald's accompanist. Rowles had first performed with Fitzgerald at the Mocambo nightclub in Hollywood, Los Angeles, in late 1956. He had appeared on several recording sessions with her in the 1960s, before joining her for nearly three years in 1981. Rowles appeared on Fitzgerald's final collaboration with Nelson Riddle, The Best Is Yet to Come in 1982. Fitzgerald recorded Rowles and Johnny Mercer's song "Baby, Don't You Quit Now" on her final album, All That Jazz, released in 1989.
Looking back in my life I've had problems and lots of strife But I've found a way to get over And every day brings me that much closer So hold your head up to the sky Hold your hands up so we can fly Are you ready for the time of your life Are you ready 'cause this rhythm makes me feel good 'Cause this rhythm makes me feel good It feels so good, it feels so nice, it feels so right 'Cause this rhythm makes me feel good It feels so good, it feels so nice, it feels so right 'Cause this rhythm makes me feel good 'Cause this rhythm makes me feel good 'Cause this rhythm makes me feel good Feels good, so good, feels good, so good, feels good, so good 'Cause this rhythm makes me feel good Feels good, so good, feels good, so good, feels good, so good 'Cause this rhythm makes me feel good So good, so good So good, so good Take the time to unwind Leave your troubles all behind Hear the rhythm it's a good thing Free your mind Free your heart, free your soul Let the music take control In the club on the floor 'Cause this rhythm makes me feel good It's a shame that we can't be as one be the same, No more war, no more poor, this is worth fighting for Every woman, every man, join together, make a stand It's the time for us all in the club on the floor 'Cause this rhythm makes me feel good So good, so good So good so good 'Cause this rhythm makes me feel good It feels so good, it feels so nice, it feels so right 'Cause this rhythm makes me feel good 'Cause this rhythm makes me feel good 'Cause this rhythm makes me feel good Feels good, so good, feels good, so good, feels good, so good 'Cause this rhythm makes me feel good Feels good, so good, feels good, so good, feels good, so good 'Cause this rhythm makes me feel good So good, so good
