Menagerie
A menagerie is a collection of captive animals, frequently exotic, kept for display; or the place where such a collection is kept, a precursor to the modern Zoo, zoological garden. The term was first used in 17th-century France, in reference to the management of household or domestic stock. Later, it came to be used primarily in reference to Aristocracy (class), aristocratic or royal animal collections. The French-language ''Methodical Encyclopaedia'' of 1782 defines a menagerie as an "establishment of luxury and curiosity". Later on, the term referred also to travelling animal collections that exhibited wild animals at fairs across Europe and the Americas.

''Menagerie'' is the sixth studio album by American R&B singer Bill Withers, released on October 29, 1977 through the Columbia label.

The lead single " Lovely Day" has gone on to become one of Withers' signature songs, particularly in the UK, where it was a top 10 hit both on its original release and again in a remixed version in 1988. ''Menagerie'' peaked at #16 on the R&B chart and #39 on the ''Billboard'' 200. It was Withers' biggest-selling album i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
