Andy Kim-Rock Me Gently

  Andy Kim將是今年底加拿大多倫多星光大道的十位人選人之一，七月23日公布的提名人選還有已故歌手與作曲人Leonard Cohen，及女演員Andrea Martin。

  Andy Kim本名Androwis Jovakim，1952年12月5日出生於加拿大魁北克的Montreal，雙親都來自黎巴嫩，1980年代曾短期的用Baron Longfellow之名錄唱片。他也與Jeff Barry一同寫過1969年的冠軍曲Sugar Sugar，是一位多才多藝的歌手及作曲人。

  Andy Kim最有名的歌有Rock Me Gently、Baby, I Love You、Be My Baby，其中Rock Me Gently名次最好，於1974年曾獲得單周排行榜冠軍。

  Andy Kim於1968-1971年加入Jeff Barry的Steed公司，有過不少暢銷曲，其中翻唱the Ronette的Baby, I Love You曾獲得第9名，該曲是Jeff Barry與他前妻Ellie Greenwich再加Phil Specter合寫的。

  經過幾首原創的歌如如How’d We Ever Get This Way等成績不是特別好之後，Andy Kim再度翻唱 Barry- Greenwich- Specter合寫的the Ronette的暢銷曲Be My Baby，但只獲得第17名。而他與Jeff Barry一同寫的Sugar Sugar在名聲和財務上卻幫了他大忙。

   Andy Kim經過1971-1974年的幾年沉寂之後，終於在1974年9月底重回排行榜，且以 Rock Me Gently獲得他唯一的一首排行榜冠軍。

Rock Me Gently

Andy Kim         

Ain't it good

Ain't it right

That you are with me

Here tonight

The music playin'

Our bodies swayin' in time

(In time, in time, in time)

Touching you

So warm and tender

Lord, I feel such a sweet surrender

Beautiful is the dream that makes you mine

Mmm

Rock me gently

Rock me slowly

Take it easy

Don't you know

That I have never been loved like this before

Baby baby!

Rock me gently

Rock me slowly

Take it easy

Don't you know

That I have never been loved like this before

Oh my darlin'

Oh my baby

You got the moves that drive me crazy

And on your face I see a trace of love

(Of love, of love, of love)

Come hold me close

Don't let me go

I need you, honey

I love you so

You were made for me by the stars above

Oooh

Rock me gently

Rock me slowly

Take it easy

Don't you know

That I have never been loved like this before

And baby baby!

Rock me gently

Rock me slowly

Take it easy

Don't you know

That I have never been loved like this before

Rock me gently

Rock me slowly

Take it easy

Don't you know

That I have never been loved like this before

Ain't it good

Ain't it right

That you are with me

Here tonight

Rock me gently

Rock me slowly

Take it easy

Don't you know

That I have never been loved like this before

Baby baby!

Rock me gently

Rock me slowly

Take it easy

Don't you know

That I have never been loved like this before
