Summary:
A compilation of music that used to play at NYC landmark restaurant Rao's.
Rao's is an Italian restaurant founded in 1896 and located at 455 East 114th Street in East Harlem, New York City, with a sister restaurant in Las Vegas, NV.
The restaurant was started in 1896 by Charles Rao, who moved with his parents from Italy to the United States. He bought a small shop in Italian Harlem, once a very large Italian-American community, and ran the restaurant until his death in 1909. Louis Rao took over the business. He was seen by many as a very suave man. He had his hair cut at The Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, and wore many fancy suits. Current co-owner Frank Pellegrino describes those days as "the days of big Cadillacs and usually convertibles." He was much more conservative in behavior and looks and refined the menu into a more simple Italian menu, with the help of "Aunt Jake." After Vincent Rao's death in 1999, it was taken over by Frank Pellegrino, Anna Pellegrino Rao's nephew, and Ronald Straci, another close relative. Anna Pellegrino-Rao refined the menu even more with the help of Vincent and she is the source of the menu's identity today.A compilation of music that used to play at NYC landmark restaurant Rao's.

Comment:
I wasn't expecting much as I'm not a big fan of Denzel Washington, but it turned out to be a decent action packed movie. I would recommend this movie to fans of action films.

I wasn't sure if I was going to like this as I didn't read any of the books, but I instantly fell in love with it. Jennifer Lawrence once again proves that she is an extremely talented actress. I would highly recommend this to science fiction fans, as well as fans of Lawrence as she is fantastic as always.I wasn't sure if I was going to like this as I didn't read any of the books, but I instantly fell in love with it.

Absolutely love this show it has good acting, tons of humor, and just enough action to keep you glued to the screen. I would this show to fans of more comedic science fiction.

While I found this movie to have some pretty awesome special effects, and a good plot, it still could've been done a bit better. I would recommend this to fans of science fiction as well as to fans of the other X-Men movies.

I'm not a huge Rick James fan but he does have a couple of songs I enjoy. I would recommend this album to fans of Alternative Pop as well as R&B.
Quotations
- From Super Freak.............Three's not a crowd to her, she says "Room 714, I'll be waiting" When I get there she's got incense, wine and candles It's such a freaky scene
Summary:
Street Songs is a Rick James concept album released in April 1981 via Gordy Records. "Give It to Me Baby", the lead song and single from the album, became James' second number one single on the R&B chart. It spent five weeks at the top spot. The fifth song on the album, "Super Freak", was also one of James' biggest hits. A Deluxe Edition was released in 2001 containing an additional 17 mixes and live versions of the album tracks. Although the song "Fire and Desire" (a duet he performed with singer Teena Marie) was not originally released as a single, the song itself received much airplay on R&B radio stations and has since become a classic hit. (James and Marie would reunite to perform the song at the 2004 BET Awards a few months before James' death.)Street Songs is a Rick James concept album released in April 1981 via Gordy Records.
