一首R & B版抒情曲

 有些R & B節奏與藍調歌曲曾被翻唱成鄉村歌曲，而且成績很好，其中Barbara Mandrell的1979年冠軍曲"If Loving You Is Wrong - I Don't Want To Be Right"就是一個例子。

黑人男歌星Luther Ingram 於1972年曾推出這首歌，在熱門歌曲榜獲得過第3名。

唱片製作人Tom Collins回憶：當年他們覺得如果把一首R & B節奏與藍調歌曲改編成鄉村歌曲，說不定能吸引一些鄉村歌迷來買。

"If Loving You Is Wrong - I Don't Want To Be Right"是Homer Banks, Raymond Jackson 與 Carl Hampton一起寫的，是Barbara Mandrell的第二首鄉村歌曲榜冠軍曲，也是第27首暢銷曲。

台灣歌迷熟悉且喜愛的R & B版"If Loving You Is Wrong - I Don't Want To Be Right"的演唱人，黑人歌手與作曲人Luther Ingram，於2007年因糖尿病去世。

(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want to Be Right

Luther Ingram

If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right

If being right means being without you

I'd rather live a wrong doing life

Your mama and daddy say it's a shame

It's a downright disgrace

Long as I got you by my side

I don't care what your people say

Your friends tell you there's no future

In loving a married man

If I can't see you when I want to

I'll see you when I can

If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right

If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right

Am I wrong to fall so deeply in love with you

Knowing I got a wife and two little children

Depending on me too

And am I wrong to hunger

for the gentleness of your touch

knowing I got somebody else at home

who needs me just as much

And are you wrong to fall in love

With a married man

And am I wrong trying to hold on

To the best thing I ever had

If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right

If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right

Are you wrong to give your love

To a married man

And am I wrong trying to hold on

To the best thing I ever had

If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right

If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right

I don't wanna be right

If it means sleeping alone at night

I don't wanna be right

If it means coming home at night

I don't wanna, I don't wanna

I don't wanna never, never, never be right
