Mel & Kim – That’s The Way It Is (US 12″)
“That’s the Way It Is” is a hit single by British pop duo Mel and Kim that was featured on the soundtrack album of Coming to America, starring Eddie Murphy. The song was written and produced by Stock Aitken Waterman. The single peaked at #10 in the UK, becoming their fourth consecutive top 10 hits.
By the time of the single’s release, Melanie Appleby had been diagnosed with cancer and had withdrawn from the public eye in mid-1987. Appleby discharged herself from the hospital to record the vocals for the track. The sisters made Mel’s illness public at the time of the release of this single, and both appeared on the Wogan show in April 1988 while Mel was still undergoing treatment, as part of European Cancer Week.
“That’s the Way It Is” would be the last release of the duo, as they disappeared from the public eye again while Mel Appleby continued her cancer treatment. She succumbed to pneumonia in January 1990, her immune system weakened by chemotherapy. Some of the songs she co-wrote with Kim Appleby during the last 2 years of her life were later released on Kim’s solo album released in late 1990.

#维塔和维吉尼亚[超话]#
編號181 Vita Sackville West
星期二[1927年10月25日] Long Barn
親親可愛的Virginia ，
我無法從妳的信裡弄清楚妳的意思，
妳是說星期三還是星期四？
星期三～
我要和"伊拉克國王" 一起用餐。
但是⋯星期四我會在這裏，
而且還是獨自一人喔。
星期三晚上我不打算在倫敦過夜，
但是晚飯後我會下來。
昨天我在倫敦的時候，差點過去看妳，
但是我又覺得妳人很忙，
所以不想自討沒趣[失望]！
於是讓我覺得自己很鬱悶[委屈]。
感謝妳的來信，
妳的信總是深受歡迎[心]
而且非常切中我的需要！
我會努力記住我和H.Lascelles談話內容。
他說話總是結結巴巴的，
所以我們沒有很深入的交談。
他有一雙好看的手
親愛的，
我在knole找到了幾張可愛的照片。
我希望妳能來瞧瞧[並不簡單]。
告訴Pinker，
Pippin又生了六隻狗崽子
妳來的時候也把Pinker一起帶來。
我希望妳能來！
請告訴我是要安排星期四或星期五，
或者星期六或星期日。
看妳喜歡那一天。

And when #elections# come, the #voters# would be confused as to which side to #vote# for - or will there still be different sides of #politics# anymore? And that, in my humble opinion, would do tremendous harm to #Malaysia#'s long-term viability as a #parliamentary##democracy#.
