前披頭鼓手Ringo Starr獲獎

 

前The Beatles披頭合唱團鼓手Ringo Starr，元月20日被大導演大衛林奇的the David Lynch Foundation基金會推薦獲得"lifetime of peace & love"「終生愛與和平獎」，這個基金會是因「藍絲絨」及「穆荷蘭大道」("Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive")等電影成名的導演大衛林奇所創，目的是倡導超越想像。

知名歌手Joe Walsh, Tom Petty, Eric Burdon, Edgar Winter and Peter Frampton等在頒獎典禮裡唱了Ringo Starr的歌，前披頭合唱團已故吉它手George Harrison的太太出席了這個盛會，而披頭另一位已故主唱John Lennon的太太Yoko Ono，與仍在世的團員Paul McCartney則透過錄影致賀。

Ringo Starr 1940年出生於英國利物浦，1962年加入The Beatles披頭合唱團擔任鼓手，在披頭時代錄過最出名的歌有Yellow Submarine、Act Naturally、With A Little Help From My Friends與Honey Don't，個人在披頭合唱團解散後也推出不少歌，成績亦不錯，在歷年暢銷歌星排行榜獲得第347名。

Ringo Starr個人在排行榜上名次最好的歌是1973年曾獲得冠軍的Photograph，這首歌由George Harrison唱和聲，並以12絃吉它伴奏。

PHOTOGRAPH

Ringo Starr

 

  Everytime I see your face

  It reminds me of the places we used to go

  But all I've got is a photograph

  And I realize you're not coming back anymore

 

I thought I'd make it

The day you went away

But I can't make it

Till you come home again to stay

 

I can't get used to living here

While my heart is broke, my tears I cry for you

I want you here to have and hold

As the years go by, and we grow old and gray

 

Now you're expecting me to live without you

But that's not something that I'm looking forwrad to

 

I can't get used to living here

While my heart is broke, my tears I cry for you

I want you here to have and hold

As the years go by, and we grow old and gray

 

  Everytime I see your face

  It reminds me of the places we used to go

  But all I've got is a photograph

  And I realize you're not coming back anymore
