MARIAH CAREY was named after the wind featured in the song, so perhaps it's not surprising she has blown out of Derek Jeter's life. The relationship between the singer and the New York Yankee shortstop was under a particularly hot spotlight, followed by celebrity and sports reporters alike. "It's bad enough when just one public person is involved," she said to IN STYLE, whose photo spread of her closet revealed an Imeldaesque collection of Manolo Blahnik shoes. "But with two, it's really hard to have something to yourself." That must mean rumors that...
...four songs, by Matthew Wilder and David Zippel, propel the plot with lyric efficiency. But then, at the end, the racy Eddie Murphy spirit that has been held in check during the film explodes with a Motownish rave-up, True to Your Heart, that cascades over the closing credits. The song doesn't have much to do with the girl-power theme of this briskly enchanting film, but it's a perky parting gift from the Disney folks. The R.-and-B. group 98[degrees] and Stevie Wonder trade harmonic and harmonica riffs with some sassy horns, and euphoria saturates...
Basketball seasons come and go, but for "The NBA on NBC," the theme song remains the same. That brash melody that leads viewers in and out of commercials is called Roundball Rock, and it was composed by New Age instrumentalist extraordinaire John Tesh.

Tesh says he wrote the tune while in Europe; without a tape recorder or piano, he called home and sang it onto...
...recently listened to a marathon session of Sinatra's recordings. It was a revelation: hundreds of songs seemed to belong only to him. His diction was crystal clear, no slurring, no swallowing of words. His singing was pure, no pyrotechnics. The focus was on the words. But what really set Sinatra apart was his ability to inhabit a song. When Frank Sinatra sang, you felt he had lived what he was telling you. No other artist so disappears into the lyrics.

...already happening, albeit in the crudest of ways. Boot up a computer program called the Axe, for instance, and you can jam along with Stevie Wonder's hit song Superstition. "Anyone can play music and have a really satisfying experience," says Eran Egozy, co-founder of Harmonix Music Systems Inc., a Cambridge, Mass., software company specializing in "jamware." By moving your mouse around on a compass-like grid, you can play faster, slower, higher and lower notes--but never out of tune. "You're always in time, in key and playing the right notes," says Egozy, who admits that, mellifluous...
