Artist:
Rick Springfield is about to sing for children and their mothers.
Springfield wrote about his upcoming album, My Precious Little One (due March 10), on his website.
"I wrote these original lullabies for my two sons during the heady days of brand new fatherhood. As a songwriter, I wanted to do something to commemorate the birth of our children. Since neither of them were good sleepers, it seemed like a good idea to write some lullabies. I rediscovered them last year, stuck in the back of a drawer in my music room. They brought back so many good memories of our kids when they were babies, that I decided to rerecord and share them."
Odetta, who passed away in December, was remembered during a four-hour celebration of her life Tuesday night at New York's Riverside Church. Performers for the night included Sweet Honey in the Rock, Steve Earle, Peter Yarrow, Guy Davis, and Pete Seeger. Speakers included Maya Angelou, Harry Belafonte, Wavy Gravy and, on video, Bob Dylan and Joan Baez.
Paul Stanley was a guest on the Thursday edition of the Fox Business Network show Happy Hour and confirmed that Kiss would be heading into the studio next week to begin work on a new album.

Meanwhile, Stanley is unveiling three new paintings this weekend at the Wentworth Gallaries in Hackensack (Friday) and Short Hills (Saturday), New Jersey.
