作曲人Sylvia Moy去世

寫過許多暢銷曲的作曲人Sylvia Moy四月15日於密西根州Dearborn因肺炎併發症去世(78歲)。

Sylvia Moy是底特律人，她替也位於底特律的黑人流行歌曲大本營Motown唱片公司旗下歌手們寫過很多歌，如Stevie Wonder的成名曲"Uptight (Everything's Alright)"、"My Cherie Amour"及"I Was Made To Love Her" ，Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston的"It Takes Two"與the Isley Brothers的"This Old Heart Of Mine"。

盲歌星Stevie Wonder1967年的暢銷曲"I Was Made To Love Her"，當年曾獲得二週第二名，沒有得到冠軍的原因是前面有一首Areatha Franklin的冠軍曲Respect擋路。

I Was Made To Love Her

Stevie Wonder

Lyrics and Music by Stevie Wonder, Henry Cosby, Lula Mae Hardaway & Sylvia Moy

I was born in Lil' Rock,

Had a childhood sweetheart,

We were always hand in hand.

I was hightop shoes and shirt tails,

Suzy was in pig tails,

I know I loved her even then.

You know my papa disapproved it,

My mama boohooed it,

But I told them time and time again,

"Don't you know I was made to love her,

Built a world all around her"

Yah! Hey, hey, hey.

She's been my inspiration,

Showed appreciation

For the love I gave her through the years.

Like a sweet magnolia tree

My love blossmed tenderly,

My life grew sweeter through the years.

I know that my baby loves me,

My baby needs me,

That's why we made it through the years.

I was made to love her,

Worship and adore her,

Hey, hey, hey.

All through thick and thin

Our love just won't end,

'Cause I love my baby, love my baby. Ah!

My baby loves me,

My baby needs me,

And I know I ain't going nowhere.

I was knee high to a chicken

When that love bug bit me,

I had the fever with each passing year.

Oh, even if the mountain tumbles,

If this whole world crumbles,

By her side I'll still be standing there.

'Cause I was made to love her,

I was made to live for her, yeah!

Ah, I was made to love her,

Built my world all around her,

Hey, hey, hey.

Oo baby, I was made to please her,

You know Stevie ain't gonna leave her, no,

Hey, hey, hey.

Oo wee baby, my baby loves me,

My baby needs me,

Hey, hey, hey.

OO my baby loves me....
