Sailor are a British pop group, best known in the 1970s for their hit singles "A Glass of Champagne" and "Girls, Girls, Girls", written by the group's lead singer and 12-string guitar player, Georg Kajanus.
A sailor is part of a crew on a ship or boat.
Sailor may also refer to:
Sailor (1817–1820) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse. In a brief racing career in the spring and summer of 1820 he won both of his races including the Epsom Derby. He collapsed and died on the Newmarket gallops shortly after his Derby win.
Sailor was a major BBC television documentary series, first shown in the mid-1970s, about life on board the fourth HMS Ark Royal, a British aircraft carrier. It followed the ship on a five and a half month deployment to North America in 1976.
The series was filmed after the completion of a major refit and coincided with the twenty-first anniversary of her commissioning. It is particularly noteworthy for its depiction of fixed-wing aircraft operation in the Royal Navy before its demise in 1978, with the paying off and scrapping of Ark Royal. It shows the Phantom, Buccaneer, Gannet, Sea King and Wessex air group from 809 Naval Air Squadron, 824 Naval Air Squadron, 849 Naval Air Squadron and 892 Naval Air Squadron.
Sailor is the second studio album by American rock group The Steve Miller Band (credited with the definite article), released in October 1968 by Capitol Records. Like The Steve Miller Band's previous album, Children of the Future, Sailor was produced by Glyn Johns. However, unlike its predecessor which was recorded in London, England, Sailor was recorded in Los Angeles, California. It was the last Steve Miller Band album to feature contributions by original members Boz Scaggs and Jim Peterman. Scaggs later went on to a successful solo career.
The album features a psychedelic blues rock sound. Tracks "Living in the U.S.A." and "Quicksilver Girl" later received additional notice when the former was covered in 1969 by Wilmer & the Dukes and the latter was included in the popular 1984 movie The Big Chill.
"Sailor (Your Home is the Sea)" is a song originally written in German by Werner Scharfenberger ( de) and lyricist Fini Busch ( de) as "Seemann (Deine Heimat ist das Meer)" which via a 1959 recording by Lolita became an international hit in 1960-61. The song would also be covered in a number of languages, most notably by Petula Clark who would have her first #1 UK hit with the English-language rendering " Sailor" - a rival version by Anne Shelton would be a Top Ten UK hit while concluding her chart career - while Clark would also be afforded international success with both "Sailor" and the French-language rendering "Marin". Other singers for whom "Sailor (Your Home is the Sea)" would afford success as rendered in various languages include Scandinavian singers Towa Carson ("Sjöman" ) and Jan Høiland ("Sjömann" ); Caterina Valente who would have a Flemish hit with "Zeeman (Je verlangen is de zee)" - a 1981 hit in the Netherlands for Ciska Peters ( nl) - ; and Virginia Lee ( af) whose "Seeman" would be a successful local cover in South Africa.
A schlager-style number, "Sailor" in its original German lyric addresses a seafaring love object with an acceptance of his wanderlust: the English-language version inverts this sentiment turning the song into a plea for the sailor to return. The song is sometimes sung by male vocalists from the point of view of the sailor with the lyrics adjusted accordingly.
A sailor, seaman, mariner, or seafarer is a person who navigates waterborne vessels or assists as a crewmember in their operation and maintenance. The term bluejacket may be used for British or US Navy enlisted sailors, the latter especially when deployed ashore as infantry. The Bluejacket's Manual is the basic handbook for United States Navy personnel. 700,000 of the world's mariners come from the Philippines, being the world's largest origin of seafarers.
Etymologically, the name "sailor" preserves the memory of the time when ships were commonly powered by sails, but it applies to the personnel of all vessels, whatever their mode of propulsion, and includes military ( naval) and security ( coast guard) maritime personnel and members of the merchant marine, as well as recreational sailors. The term " seaman" is frequently used in the particular sense of a sailor who is not an officer.
"Sailor" is the title of the English-language rendering of the 1959 schlager composition " Seemann (Deine Heimat ist das Meer)" originally written in German by Werner Scharfenberger ( de) and lyricist Fini Busch ( de): featuring lyrics in English by Norman Newell (writing as David West), "Sailor" would in 1961 afford Petula Clark her first UK #1 hit, simultaneously granting Top Ten success to Anne Shelton while also bringing her chart career to a close. Clark was also afforded international success with both her recording of "Sailor" and also with Marin the French-language rendering of the song.
