The Birds and the Bees原唱人去世


"The Birds And The Bees"這首1965年第3名暢銷曲成名的RB老歌星Jewel Akens  31不幸於洛杉磯去世(80歲), Jewel Akens 1933年出生於休士頓,後來搬到洛杉磯,1959年曾組過一個合唱團叫the Four Dots,後來在Era唱片公司的時候,他本來是the Turnarounds合唱團的的團員,但公司決定要他獨唱"The Birds And The Bees"那首歌,沒想到一曲成名。
Jewel Akens後來還有一首"Georgie Porgie"得過第65名,雖然之後在排行榜上不再有好成績,但他始終努力於演唱工作。

"The Birds And The Bees"這首歌在民國五十年代後期曾由香港歌星詹小屏Judi Jim 翻唱,在剛開播的中視音樂節目播出,與另一首Colors of The Rainbow都很受台灣歌友的歡迎。

Let me tell ya 'bout the birds and the bees
And the flowers and the trees
And the moon up above
And a thing called "Love"
 
Let me tell ya 'bout the stars in the sky
And a girl and a guy
And the way they could kiss
On a night like this
 
When I look into your big brown eyes
It's so very plain to see
That it's time you learned about the facts of life
Starting from A to Z
 
Let me tell ya 'bout the birds and the bees
And the flowers and the trees
And the moon up above
And a thing called "Love" (Yeah!)
 
 
When I look into your big brown eyes
It's so very plain to see

Starting from A to Z
 
Let me tell ya 'bout the birds and the bees
And the flowers and the trees
And the moon up above
And a thing called "Love"
 
Let me tell ya 'bout the birds and the bees
And the flowers and the trees
And the birds and the bees
And the flowers and the trees
'bout the birds
FADE
and the bees
