John Giorgis is a new addition to our Sunday morning line up. John brings you a new feature “A Moment With the Word”. John has selected short bible verses delivered from the pulpit of  Classic America’s Cathedral. The specially selected Bible verse readings are richly produced and never exceed one minute. You will hear these readings every 30 minutes at the top and bottom of every hour Sunday Mornings between 2 AM and 10 AM New York City Time. John lives here on the Treasure Coast of Florida. John has been a Lector since he was 15. He is an active member of the Catholic Church and constantly contributing his voice to numerous church activities as well as many radio stations.  We are proud to add John to our lineup of voices and inspiration.

These songs include, “The Windmills of Your Mind” (1968), “The Way We Were” (1973), “I’m Easy” (1975), “Evergreen” (1976), “You Light Up My Life” (1977), “Last Dance” (1978), “Fame” (1980), “Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)” (1981), “Up Where We Belong” (1982), “Flashdance… What a Feeling” (1983), “I Just Called to Say I Love You” (1984), “Say You, Say Me” (1985), “Take My Breath Away” (1986), “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” (1987), “Under the Sea” (1989), “A Whole New World” (1992), “Streets of Philadelphia” (1993), “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” (1994), “Colors of the Wind” (1995), “You Must Love Me” (1996), “When You Believe” (1998), “You’ll Be in My Heart” (1999), “Into the West” (2003), “The Weary Kind” (2009) and “Skyfall” (2012) and Let it Go (2013 ).

“My Heart Will Go On” (1997) is the only Academy Award for Best Original Song to also win the Grammy Award for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Song Written for Visual Media and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song. Another Academy Award for Best Original Song winner “Beauty and the Beast” (1991), was also nominated for the Grammy Award for Record of the Year and Song of the Year, but managed to win the Best Song Written for Visual Media as well as Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals aside from winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song. Celine Dion sang the lead vocals on both songs. Skyfall (2012) is the only Brit Award winning song to win an Academy Award.

The song “White Christmas” went on to become one of the biggest selling singles of all time.

Female winners[edit]

Dorothy Fields was the first female songwriter to win the Best Original Song Oscar. She wrote the lyrics for the 1936 winner “The Way You Look Tonight” (music by Jerome Kern) sung by Fred Astaire in the film Swing Time. It was thirty-two years before a second woman was honored, Marilyn Bergman, who co-wrote with husband Alan the lyrics for “Windmills of Your Mind” (music Michel Legrand) from The Thomas Crown Affair in 1968. Alan & Marilyn Bergman also wrote the lyrics of 1973 winner “The Way We Were” (music Marvin Hamlisch) from the film of the same name (and the lyrics for the film musical Yentl, which won the Oscar in a different category, Best Original Song Score, in 1983).
