stevie wonder's "happy birthday" is specifically part of campaign to celebrate the birthday of mlk with a public holiday. i never listened to the lyrics and always just assumed it was a random happy birthday song. it is certainly not a highlight of stevie's repertoire for me, but was unexpected. i recently picked up "hotter than july" and noticed it on the sleeve

Top woman. Constanze is the reason everyone knows Wolfgang's music.
She promoted his music brilliantly and got it published widely, making herself wealthy in the process.
Her younger second husband was a big help and wrote (correction: one of the first) the first biographies of Mozart.
Mozart's two surviving sons lived to ripe old ages after working as conductors (correction: only Franz Mozart) - One Mozart's of lads lived till the 1870's (correction: 1858).
Wolfgang had no grandkids though.

This is all from memory.... let's see what I got wrong.
EDIT:
Three things wrong
Second husband:
Her young lads:

Captain Sensible, Slim Jim , Phantom, and Mike Peters had a band

From Captain Sensible's FB page:

The Jack Tars / Dead Men Walking gigs remain one of the most enjoyable things I've done in the music game. Sadly, after a long and heroic struggle with illness, Mike Peters has departed. What a lovely, enthusiastic bloke.. and what a great singer too, as can be heard here on this tune. RIP Mikey!

I've just learned that Bridges - the band Pal and Magne from a-ha were in before a-ha - recorded a second album in 1980/81 that wasn't mixed or released until 2018. Theres a deadly early version of Scoundrel Days on it

For some reason my stereo wasn't playing a 1979 Morricone soundtrack LP properly. Despite music coming out of both speakers I couldn't hear the high end string parts (still don't know why). So I went online and found the edit on the LP was only 2:49 but there's a full 6:29 of the track on YouTube. What a stroke of luck! Wow, this is my favourite track I've heard by the Maestro so far. Bellissimo

I was always a sucker for those disco-y dance pop tunes from late 90's early 2000's.
Usually there were based around a sample from a 70's disco / funk / soul record.
There were some great musicians on those old disco records

Just discovered this one today.

East Coast - The Rock (1978)
