Michelangelo (di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni) 

                          (March 6, 1475 – February 18, 1564)

Michelangelo was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, poet, and engineer who
had a great influence on the development of Western Art. Michelangelo was
considered the the greatest living artist in his lifetime, and ever since then he
has been held to be one of the greatest artists of all time. A number of his
works in painting, sculpture, and architecture rank among the most famous
in existence, such the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome (below).  

Grammy Award-winning gospel singer George Beverly "Bev" Shea has often been
described as “America’s beloved Gospel singer” and is considered to be the first
international singing star of the gospel as a result of his solo performances at Billy Graham Crusades along with his recordings. According to the Guinness Book of
Records Shea holds the world record for singing in person to the most people
ever, with an estimated live audience of 220 million people.
