Amii Stewart in the music video for her hit disco classic Knock on Wood, 1979. A cover of the #1 Eddie Floyd 1966 Stax classic, the song was also recorded by Otis Redding and Carla Thomas in 1967, David Bowie in 1974, and Cher in 1976. Amii's rendition, however, was the only version to hit #1 in the US, Canada, the UK and Italy and the song was quickly enshrined as a gay club anthem. Knock on Wood earned Amii a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 22nd Grammy Awards in 1980. Amii's glamorous costume in the video was inspired by legendary 1920s-1930s actress and cabaret entertainer Josephine Baker.

Fossil diatoms retain their intricately patterned glassy silica shell cases. Called frustules, these may be either rounded or elongated. Living diatoms are single-celled, algae-like protists. They make up much of the plankton in the marine and freshwater food chains. Their shells accumulate by the millions on the seafloor, eventually fossilizing to form a siliceous sedimentary rock called diatomite.
