People Magazine reported earlier this week that singer Shania Twain is engaged to Swiss businessman Frederic Thiebaud. Back in 2008, Shania and then-husband Robert "Mutt" Lange split after he was allegedly having an affair with Thiebaud's wife.
Let's hope the second time around for Shania will be the charm. Here's a video of her performing a Christmas song on the "Today" show back in 1998. Enjoy, and Merry Christmas!

Faith Hill turned 43 this week. Born Audrey Faith Perry on September 21, 1967 in Jackson, MS, she fittingly grew up in the nearby small town of Star.
That's exactly what she became in the 1990's, and established herself as not only a superb country singer, but as a crossover artist into pop and adult contemporary. Her brilliant smile, movie-star looks, and much-celebrated marriage to country star Tim Mc-Graw only enhanced her star power.

Gloria Estefan turned 53 this week. Born September 1, 1957 in Havana, Cuba, Gloria's family left Havana when she was two and settled in Miami.
Along with the tremendous success Gloria has had as a musician, she also had to overcome major injuries after a bus accident in March 1990 left her with a broken vertebra. But she came back over a year later, and is still recognized as one of the most talented female singers in the last three decades.
Now, get ready to dance!

August 16, 1977, was one of those major "where were you" days, the day rock 'n roll lost its king. In body, that is; his legend may even be bigger now than when he was alive and at his peak.
I found this video of the studio version of "My Way" from the early 70's, that has some great pics. Check it out here:

One of my favorite singers of the 70's turned 64 this week.
Linda Ronstadt was born in Tucson, Az, on July 15, 1946. Her 1975 hit "You're No Good" hit #1 on the U.S. singles chart. She also had 15 other top 40 hits.
A talented singer and songwriter, Linda has proven her music style runs deeper than just pop. She's also ventured into folk, Latin, country, and even new wave influences.
Happy Birthday, Linda!
