I'm a big fan of Polish composer and pianist Frédéric Chopin. Born on March 1, 1810 in east central Poland, near Warsaw, Chopin was a child prodigy who left his country and settled in Paris at the age of 21. He suffered from poor health and is thought to have died of tuberculosis in 1849.
Gilles Bensimon is a French fashion photographer who is best known for photographing celebrities such as Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Madonna, and Gwyneth Paltrow.
I remember selecting The Wallflowers' Bringing Down the Horse from the Columbia House CD catalog. When the CD came in, I plopped it in my portable CD player and cranked up the volume to One Headlight.
The song, One Headlight, which was written by lead singer Jakob Dylan and produced by T-Bone Burnett, was released on February 24, 1997. The song won two Grammy awards for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and Best Rock Song in 1998. The song also was listed at No. 58 in Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Greatest Pop Songs.
The music video, which was directed by Joe Perota, features Jakob Dylan and the band members performing in what appears to be a old warehouse.
