A chocolate maker bought 120 acres of Birmingham slums. 🍫 His name was George Cadbury. He didn’t build a factory. He built a world. Every house had a garden. By law. Every single one. 🌿 Schools. Parks. Swimming pools. Cricket pitches. Pensions. Education during working hours. Workers’ committees that ran the factory floor. Then in 1900 he put the entire estate into a trust. 🏛️ It could never be sold for profit. Never broken up. Never privatised. Protected forever. It still exists today. Still run by the trust. One man proved that if you treat people well, they don’t just survive. They flourish. 🙏 Be part of us: proudofus.co.uk Be proud of us. 🇬🇧

@JohnCleese But even then, that took the British to sink an allied submarine that was carrying the report that proved Japan was going to attack Pearl Harbor so that they weren’t forewarned to spur them into action.

Yes, the Americans finally decided that Hitler was a very bad man Just after Pearl Harbour, I believe... Quite a co-incidence !

He actually made that instrument sing! 😍

Harry Nilsson's song "Without You" was released in 1971 on his album Nilsson Schmilsson. The song was originally written by Pete Ham and Tom Evans of the band Badfinger, but Nilsson's version is one of the most famous and successful. Nilsson recorded "Without You" in a more emotional and romantic style, which helped make it a huge hit and one of the most memorable songs of his career.

This was titled “best guitar solo of all time” where I found it Dire Straits

The most beautiful requiem ever written in the history of music. Mozart was a talented genius musician.👏👏👏 🎶💫𝐋𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐚 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐌𝐨𝐳𝐚𝐫𝐭'𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐦 𝐛𝐲 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐰 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐫 ℹ️ One of the most celebrated choral works in classical music, the ‘Lacrimosa’, meaning ‘weeping’, is part of the Roman Catholic Requiem Mass (a mass for the dead), reflecting grief, the plea for mercy, and the hope for eternal rest on the day of judgment.

Remember when they used to have iconic performances at the Kennedy Center rather than fluff pieces on Malaria?

Pure magic to touch a soul in this way. The older you get, the harder this song hits you. David Gilmour plays steel guitar on "High Hopes".

Grandpa always told me Mozart´s requiem was the greatest musical creation ever made. Just imagine how many other amazingly beautiful masterpieces were never composed, because the great man died so young. 💥𝐌𝐨𝐳𝐚𝐫𝐭 : 𝐑𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐦 - 𝐋𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐚 (𝐎𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐞 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 / 𝐉𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐆𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐧)

🔥🎸🔥24-year-old Tracy Chapman, virtually unknown at the time, was suddenly pushed onto the Wembley Stadium stage as a last-minute replacement when Stevie Wonder couldn't perform due to a major technical glitch (his synth hard disk went missing). Armed with just her acoustic guitar and raw vocals, she delivered "Fast Car" and left the massive 72,000-person crowd in absolute stunned silence within seconds. This iconic 1988 moment literally launched her career overnight—does it give you goosebumps too? If you've ever heard "Fast Car" live (or even just this version) and didn't get chills or teary-eyed, drop your story below—I need to hear it!
