John Sebastian的清新小品


最早是the Critters合唱團的團員,後來參加過the Four Seasons合唱團Don Ciccone十月八日去世(71歲)。
Don Ciccone出生於紐澤西州的Plainfield,1964年他加入一個當地合唱團the Vibratones,團員都是他個人演唱時代的伴唱樂手,後來他們改名為the Critters。
The Critters起初錄了一首John Sebastian的作品"Younger Girl" 獲得第42名,接著的 "Mr. Dieingly Sad" 則於1966年獲得第17名,是他們名次最好的歌,the Critters 其他進榜歌曲還有"Bad Misunderstanding" (#55-1966) 與 "Don't Let The Rain Fall Down On Me" (#39-1967)。
The Critters於1967年解散,Don也去當兵,二年後他從空軍退伍後加入了the Four Seasons合唱團,他擔任吉他手,也在"Who Loves You" (#3-1975) 及"December,1963" (#1-1976)二首暢銷曲中演唱,直到 1981年離開該團。
Don Ciccone後來寫了一些廣告歌,還擔任過Tommy James巡迴演唱的音樂指導,也重組過the Critters合唱團。
John Sebastian的"Younger Girl"是一首很好聽的歌,除了the Critters之外,曾經由Lovin’ Spoonful錄過,但沒有推出小唱片,The Hondells的版本只得到第52名。

JOHN SEBASTIAN
Younger Girl Lyrics

She's one of those girls who
Seems to come in the Spring
One look in her eyes
And you'll forget everything
You had ready to say
And I saw her today, yeah

[CHORUS]
A younger girl keeps
Rolling cross my mind
No matter how much I try
I can't seem to leave
Her memory behind
I remember her eyes
Soft, dark and brown
Said she'd never been
In trouble or even in town
A younger girl keeps
Rolling cross my mind

A younger girl keeps
Rolling cross my mind

And should I hang around
Acting like her brother
In a few more years
They'd call us right for each other
But why, if I wait
I'll just die, yeah

[repeat CHORUS]

She's one of those girls who
Seems to come in the Spring
One look in her eyes
And you'll forget everything

She's one of those girls who
Seems to come in the Spring
One look in her eyes

And you'll forget everything
